amq··on Zephyr: A scalable Real-Time operating system for IoT embedded devices
How does it compare to ARM Mbed OS?
amq··on Google Translator Toolkit is shutting down
Does Translate offer the Toolkit functionality? Just checked, but couldn't find anything beyond the usual text or document translation box.
amq··on Testing Google Stadia [video]
I also have a GeForce Now account, but somehow, it doesn't feel as smooth as Gaikai back then. An FPS like CS GO is unplayable for me - because of input lag.
amq··on Testing Google Stadia [video]
I remember trying out Gaikai in some 2009, and I was completely blown away both by the quality and by the latency. It felt like magic, I couldn't understand why they didn't succeed commercially, and I still can't understand why there is still no better service out there.
amq··on Visual Studio online available for public preview
I'm missing two things:

- docker-compose support

- ability to run multiple services from different repos

amq··on Ubiquiti adds phone-home to the access point firmware
The next beast is OpenWRT + any modern hardware supported by it.
amq··on Boeing is facing fresh crisis after another airline found cracks in a 737 plane
If only they could quickly get high quantities immediately, I'm sure they would switch in a heartbeat.
amq··on Improving maintenance of your Jenkins(file) pipelines
Since I tried Drone, I never looked back.
amq··on The demise of Docker and the rise of Kubernetes
Good point, there is still a barrier between how people deploy (kubernetes) and how people develop (docker-compose). And it's not just different syntax, developers typically never have to deal with concepts like ingress and persistent volume claims. Things like converting compose to k8s manifests don't really help developers to understand how kubernetes works in production. As a result, Kubernetes tends to help to reinforce the need for ops people, for better or worse.
amq··on TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans from Filing Taxes for Free
In Ukraine there is a government webapp where you can fill all possible tax forms, and they come mostly pre-filled. The only small hurdle is getting the private/public key, it's fast, but only happens upon request or if you have a bank account at supported banks. If you were only on a payroll, you don't need to declare anything at all, it happens automatically.
amq··on Russia’s Retro Lenin Museum Still Runs on Decades-Old Apple II Computers
The irony that you have to use a computer from your main enemy for your main ideological museum.
amq··on An apology to our community, and next steps
A good summary and the timeline here: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/333965/
amq··on Kiss – A Linux distribution with a focus on “less is more”
I like the layout.
amq··on DeepFaceLab: A tool that utilizes ML to replace faces in videos
It could be useful for film production where you could replace the stuntman's face with the real actor's one.
amq··on Mozilla takes action to protect users in Kazakhstan
Way too late, weeks after the CA has been deprecated by the Kazakh government.
amq··on OpenDrop: An Open Source AirDrop Implementation
Looks great, I wonder why it doesn't have more traction.
amq··on DSVPN – VPN using TCP at port 80 and 443
> That's a bit light on details. Does it have hardware acceleration? Replay attack protection? Perfect forward secrecy? What are the underlying algorithms? Implementation verified by whom?

More details here: https://github.com/jedisct1/charm

amq··on Infrastructure as Code, Part One
Could you name some of those code-based tools?
amq··on Cloud Code – A new set of plug-ins for IntelliJ and VS Code
I wish they would at least open-soure the linter. I just quickly compared it to https://github.com/garethr/kubeval, and it did uncover some valid additional mistakes.

Upd: looks like the plugin is using https://github.com/mulesoft-labs/yaml-ast-parser combined with https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-json-languageservice

amq··on Linus Torvalds on Why ARM Won't Win the Server Space
But if there is nothing to develop for... Chicken and egg problem.

However, I think that Windows on ARM will soon become a real thing, this could bring the developers, it will also help the ARM devices spread among Linux users.

Regarding what Linus wrote, I do not buy it. There is so much stuff can run without cross-compilation: js and other scripts, java, c#. Also look at things like Android and iOS, you are already happily developing for ARM, you can develop for servers with the same approach.

amq··on Google’s also peddling a data collector through Apple’s back door
I wonder why a router is really useful to them. With most sites using https, not much beyond DNS requests and plain IPs can be captured, without forcing users to install a CA.
amq··on You might not need Kubernetes
I have found Docker Swarm Mode to be a good middle ground. Essentially, it's docker-compose which you can run on multiple servers.
amq··on CloudWatch Is of the Devil, but I Must Use It
As much as I like munin, it's just not covering the current needs around application monitoring, containers, dynamically scaled clusters and more detailed metric inspection. The go-to solution for me now is Prometheus + Grafana, it does all of the above and is directly supported by many products.
amq··on IBM acquires Red Hat
Also everything CoreOS-related.
amq··on Hetzner DIY Private Networking with Tinc
Could you describe how you did it?

amq··on AI chip startup Wave to buy Silicon Valley old-timer MIPS
AI-powered Wi-Fi routers incoming. /s
amq··on Intel demonstrates a 28-core processor running at 5GHz
Also interesting on the screenshot: Radeon.
amq··on Microsoft acquires Github
A really powerful move now would be to open-source GitHub.
amq··on CS 189: Introduction to Machine Learning
Strange, GitHub Pages should support TLS on custom domains: https://blog.github.com/2018-05-01-github-pages-custom-domai...

Looks like the site is using a wrong IP for the A record. It is 192.30.252.153, but should be 185.199.108.153, where Let's Encrypt is enabled.
