machbio··on Rancher 2.0 GA
I love the concept of Rancher for someone working in Corporate Atmosphere - where I have to install everything on the companies infrastructure and all the GKE, Fargate and Azure Kubernetes is not allowed... But the people at Rancher failed to recognize that they need to support clustering without any manual intervention to actual click through their UI to achieve clusters - give me an automated joining of clusters method - if you want me to adopt Rancher.
machbio··on How to Quit a Top Tier Tech Job
"Your legal status in the country does not depend on your continued employment. If it does, stay away from this train of thought. The destination is a depressing and harsh realization."

Its sad - but most of us are out at this point..nothing more to add.

machbio··on Serverless Aurora
Am struggling to understand the concept of Serverless Aurora and AWS Lambda integration - they highlight that AWS Lambda would scale on traffic and there by Serverless Aurora kicks into support this scale - but there is a limitation on AWS Lambda inside a VPC[1]. So in order to really utilize the Serverless Aurora fully - the Proxy fleet would have special permission to access Aurora?

Also, has anyone solved the issue of AWS Lambda (in VPC) scaling beyond the limited IP space ?

ENIs = Projected peak concurrent executions * (Memory in GB / 3GB)

machbio··on AWS: Scaling Up to 10M Users
AWS Scaling beyond 1 Million would mean that you have a global audience - AWS does not have any Global LoadBalancer for customers who do not want to use Route53 - has anyone worked on Global Loadbalancer on AWS infrastructure without Route53 ?
machbio··on How to set up continuous deployment using free hosted tools

machbio··on On Growing: Lessons from the Story of WeChat
> Using voice messaging was strategic because the native mobile keyboard to type Chinese characters at the time was not easy to use and consumers found sending voice notes intuitive, personal and convenient for daily life.

this is amazing way of thinking around the problem

machbio··on An Indian Ocean island with a community that has been there for 60K years (2015)
reading this incidence of contact by British (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese#Incidents_of_conta...) - might have had a very bad perception of modern humans - they kidnapped an elderly couple and four children, the elderly couple died and those four children might have gone through some horrors that might have influenced them to be aggressive towards the modern humans
machbio··on Gitlab 9.0
will just wait for "Gitlab.com" to get the functionality - is there any lag between Gitlab version upgrade and "Gitlab.com" using the upgraded Gitlab version ?

Will wait it out for Gitlab 9.1 :) Thank you for the amazing work.

machbio··on Gitlab 9.0
how is the CD in Gitlab complete without this issue being complete (https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/28497) - is there any alternative if i want to use "gitlab.com" for hosting my code ?
machbio··on Introducing FreeNAS Corral
Awesome.. I moved away from FreeNAS to Ubuntu 16.04 ZFS.. Now, back to FreeNAS..
machbio··on Plex Media Server on Cloud
this is a failed project - there was a lot of expectation when they initially started with Amazon Cloud Drive..with a technical limitation that they faced with Amazon Cloud Drive - they completely eliminated Amazon Cloud Drive from its storage options..I called it failed, because there is no way, I will pay loads of money to Dropbox or Google for the Terabyte of my Homelab videos.. Amazon Cloud Drive would definitely been an option - that I would consider, since they have a fixed 60$ for unlimited data..
machbio··on Summary of the Amazon S3 Service Disruption
No on in HN is questioning this - "The Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) team was debugging an issue causing the S3 billing system to progress more slowly than expected." - they are debugging on Production System..
machbio··on Ask HN: Is S3 down?
I was calculating it for a year - maybe the availability applies to per billing cycle.. I am still not able to understand your math - mind explaining
machbio··on Ask HN: Is S3 down?
I was calculating it for a year - maybe the availability applies to per billing cycle - you may be correct..
machbio··on Ask HN: Is S3 down?
durability is different from availability
machbio··on Ask HN: Is S3 down?
thats for below 99.9% - they are at 99.997% .. you are never getting that 10% credit..
machbio··on Running Costs of a SaaS app
"the system fonts and more affordable fonts didn’t feel right to me"..Thank you - that makes sense
machbio··on Running Costs of a SaaS app
so I mentioned only $500 dollar expense for the Web application and not the Marketing font that costs $300 more - so why do you need to worry about branding for web application ? I agree that marketing websites would need distinguishing fonts. Just a thought.
machbio··on Running Costs of a SaaS app
Is it really important to distinguish your web application with another font - looks like he spent $500 on Web fonts, which is a lot for a startup ?

machbio··on Neural Net Side Project Makes $3500/mo Trading Stocks
So you are saying you trained your models on EOD data and your bot performs live trading on live feed from Kite.. Ok, enjoy the Bull Run..
machbio··on Neural Net Side Project Makes $3500/mo Trading Stocks
not to criticize you, but this seems to have no logic - "My bot holds a single position from seconds to minutes (sometimes even hours), which makes it more of an automated trader than a high frequency trader" - so your initial investment was less than 25K$,meaning you would be tagged has Pattern Daily Trader with account freeze for 90 days - how does your Algorithm even work with that kind of investment ?

Definitely feeling like this is faux..

Edit: Some pointed it is an Indian Marketplace - but the article mentions that Initrinio provided real-time data but Initrinio only provide IEX (https://intrinio.com/marketplace/data/prices/realtime)

machbio··on Monetize Your APIs in AWS Marketplace Using API Gateway
you should definitely look at Kong[1] - they have an opensource API Management tool. They do have their own commercial product Mashape[2] whose pricing is $250 plus 20% of the API Revenue[3] and they have one more option called Gelato[4] that provides Kong Integration

machbio··on Amazon's Alexa Moves in on Google's Android System
This Exactly.. I am really afraid to connect advanced skillsets like Uber on my Echo - for that there is no authentication methods on Echo.. To add to the rant, the Amazon Alexa is one of the worst android application with constant unresponsiveness and I am not sure they can deliver on a method where the authentication can be through the Alexa App for the advanced skills
