now, you can access i guess, since fastly is back

Fastly is back now. (The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.)

wouldn't websites have alternate CDN's managing their traffic, why should they have a single point of failure ?

I was assuming there are couple of services like Fastly and companies might have architected keeping in mind the alternatives too, I guess.

There's a related thread for this also --> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27432408

Fastly is down, impacting lot of sites

Hi All, Glad to share my blog here.

What is my blog ?

Name of my blog is Techno Paradigms (https://gansai.blogspot.com)

Why should I read it?

I share what I learn. ( Very rarely, I have written my perspectives on software paradigms - like how things are evolving etc -- but I like to write more on this )

I try to focus on few topics like: Java, Cloud, Architecture etc.

Why is it awesome?

I am not sure whether my blog is awesome.

I guess people interested in backend & distributed systems can visit my blog.

( Nowadays I am trying to appreciate role of products like: Kafka, Debezium, Hazelcast etc )

(Probably I wrote more than a short intro )

which terminal addon do you use? As I am extremely interested to use terminal within Atom.The other day, I was using terminal-plus and it seems to have some issues.

the idea looks like: 'why not extend jsfiddle/splunker to a real running website ?'

me too. just tried typing when cursor loaded. tried to click on cursor

Will this be used by automated content creators? For example, lots of articles on some of news websites (including wikipedia) are written by bots. So the bot would write an article, invoke proselint and correct, if required?

he just committed 7 hours ago. https://github.com/mozilla/rr/commit/ef7691ac8a25ec9767ba744...

So, currently Stage1 is complete. 2 more to go

nice work!

almost felt the same thing. Felt as if this mail by Eric kind of subconsciously forced Linus to write git.

thanks for sharing. I remember seeing a reddit section for TIL which is general. I too had some thoughts regarding the same to publish in my blog.

who is providing api management solution for VISA?

then the court would have to actually look at the obfuscated code to prove the point.

liked one metaphor in the article: golden handcuffs

thanks!

probably, thats why people like Bill-Gates is investing in things which produce drinking water

One way of pushing users to use a new product is by degrading an existing product. Here, Inbox is the new Gmail. Switch. Switch. Switch

Understood that scientists would be able to break asteroid into pieces using many ways. I guess what they could take advantage of this asteroid is to put a drone or some sensor material on asteroid so that it would help space scientists for space research. Its almost like unmanned space mission, just put a drone-sensor on asteroid. It goes with the asteroid and sends down information which might be helpful. Any space scientists here in hackernews? What do you say? Would it be possible and beneficial?

Looks like Uber has moved to a microservices architecture. Check their engineering blog: (https://eng.uber.com/soa/)

Probably, the news article is not a technical article, focusing on what is the actual stack, because, (http://stackshare.io/uber/uber) shows that there are other layers in the stack of Uber.

Its like kind of frappy bird game, some may get addicted, not to lose...

Just got 'Database Error'while trying to connect to this page. Error establishing a database connection. So, the number of connections to this page is limited? or what could be the issues throwing this kind of error?

I enjoyed, and looking forward to your posts in future. I just dropped a comment on your website.(@gansai9)

Some of the data flow representation software enables us to do this, I guess. From UML diagrams, we could create classes etc

sharing economy, virtual reality based solutions, widespread native language support on human facing interfaces, cloud storage, applications entirely based on cloud ecosystem, 3d printing aiding fashion exploration rapidly,

IMHO, Prediction of software sustenance depends primarily on following points: a) Current Usage b) Current set of users c) Availability of internet d) Kind of exposure to apps

Current Usage: Current desktop apps are used by the majority for purposes such as documents, presentation, image modification, watching videos. If these purposes are served in fullest and flexible enough to adopt, then web apps will start dominating.

Current set of users: By numbers, if we go, majority of current set of users for desktop apps will fall in the category who might not be aware of a browser turning to be a replacement for all their needs. It will take 5 years for web apps to expand and become popular enough and reach out to this majority for extinction of desktop apps.

Availability of internet: Currently desktop apps are predominantly used for offline purpose, since connection to internet is not required. And places where there is no connectivity to internet is present, still desktop apps would survive. But web apps requiring internet connectivity at all times for each request-response will not be able to reach out to places where there is lack of internet connection. Web apps will need to provide a offline environment similar to desktop apps, then web apps would dominate. Otherwise, if internet connection is provided to everyone like how sun provides light to every corner of the planet, then web apps would burn down desktop apps.

Kind of exposure to apps: Currently, majority of users tend to sit in a cubicle and perform work, which is more related to desktop apps. If majority of users tend to become more mobile, for example, all the personal PC boxes become tablet/iPads/smartPhones then web apps (mobile apps) would need to replace desktop apps.

just curious: "learned heaps" --> did it just improve your knowledgebase or it actually helped you practically to solve a problem which you were facing.? I am just curious, as I am a starter to reading these kind of papers. thanks.
