Anecdotal, but we have seen a significant improvement in latency in our api response times after switching from Ruby 2.1 to 2.2. With 2.1 we could easily spot requests where the gc ran, but with 2.2 our requests are much more consistent.
I am self-employed and pay $6000 a year for high deductible health insurance for my family that has a $5000 deductible. So if my child breaks their arm and that is my only expense that year, then I paid $11,000 for their broken arm. Not cheap by any means. I'm sure lots of people on this forum work for companies that cover their whole cost of insurance and are out of touch with costs, but the "Affordable" Care Act has not made health insurance more affordable.
I prefer this method any day. Most people in the younger generations don't have a house phone line, much less a fax machine. It's so annoying to me when I have to send something to a company and the only method they accept is a fax. Luckily that has changed quite a bit in the past few years.
I really expected for Amazon to release a Container Registry before they took the preview status off ECS. Looks like Google beat them to the punch. I'd still be very interested to see if Amazon will release something soon.
I have 19 instances (18 in US-West-2) and none of them are affected. I would guess that lots of people here run in us-east-1 since that's the longest running region and I would bet that a lot of that 10% exists there. So, it may be 10% total in all regions but higher percentage if you run in us-east-1. Just a guess though.
The length of the blackout would probably need to be given to provide some perspective. 2 30 minute blackouts would be much easier to deal with than 1 3 day blackout.
I had an older version Keurig and when it failed they sent me the new DRM Keurig. But I definitely agree with your opinion and when this one fails and is out of warranty, I'm definitely going to look into other brands.
I also had this happen to me too, and I was pretty annoyed. On the bright side, with this announcement, if you can afford to buy the "All Upfront" instances, then at least when you want to resell them, you don't have to worry about the hourly rate dropping on their new announcements so the resale should be pretty easy.
VPC instance pricing is the same as EC2 pricing. The VPN pricing is if you want to setup a VPN between your office (or some other location) and your VPC.
I would love to know this too. I'm sure they probably have enterprise customers that are using some of this stuff. I do love the idea of being able to store some of these things in source control.
One of the things that I am curious about is that when we promote a database slave to master, we just spin up a brand new slave and just discard the old master. From a quick glance of this, I had a hard time telling if that is something that this tool could handle. Maybe it's not really the use case for it right now. I definitely think it's really cool to just spin up a cluster in one command though.
After reading that blog post from Microsoft, I believe even stronger now that Google is approaching this carelessly. Microsoft announced this almost a year ago and yet the blog post reads that they are giving until January 1st 2017 until they will stop accepting SHA-1 certs. Google announced this today and starting in 22 days they will be showing a Yellow Lock on my certificate just because the cert is set to expire AFTER January 1st, 2017. That is very different approaches!
You say that Google will be doing this transition along with everyone else, but you won't be feeling the same pain. Google's current cert expires November 24th, 2014, so when you extend it then it will be for 1 year and your new cert will expire before January 1st, 2016 which is pretty convenient for you because that cert (even if it is SHA-1) will still show up as a green bar through Chrome 41 so it will have no impact for you. I also second eastdakota's response that this was pretty crappy to drop as a Friday afternoon announcement.
Thanks for the reply, I thought I was understanding it correctly. Now that I think about it more, they will still be able to use SHA-1 and not be affected because they will surely just issue another certificate that only lasts 1 year which means it will expire before January 2016, so it will still show up as Green in Chrome. Sucks for me because we paid for a cert through July 2017 and now we'll probably have to pay more money to get a non-SHA1 cert.
Anybody know what the easiest way to determine if your certificate is affected? I looked at my certificate and it says Signature Algorithm is "SHA-1 with RSA Encryption". Is this affected? When I viewed the certificate for google.com it also said "SHA-1 with RSA Encryption".
Not quite a fair comparison because you are showing the price of a 1GB volume. However, if you had a 50 GB volume, then you would be paying $16.25 (50 * 0.325) per month on GCP, and you would be paying $9.25 ((50 * 0.125 + (30 * 0.10)) on Amazon for 30 IOPS.
I hope I have my math right here. Let me know if I missed something. If it's correct, then it seems like the bigger the volume that you have, the more sense it would make to go with Amazon.
Edit: I might have done the math wrong, it looks like Google gives you 30 IOPS per every GB you pay for, so a 50GB volume on GCP would actually be 1500 IOPS. If that's the case, then it's a very good offering from Google since you don't pay for disk access too!
I would love to see videos of these sessions! I also have a pretty technical background, but a lot of the VoIP stuff I don't have a great understanding of.
Call me crazy, but $5.50 per install seems like a crazy ridiculous price to pay! Also, does the #5 App in the App Store really only get 5300+ installs per day, that seems really low. Or is this #5 in a category?
I had surgery on my right wrist a number of years ago and I still don't have great flexibility in it. About 3 days after getting the iPhone 5 I started getting some pain in my wrist and was actually able to equate it to the odd reach down by my thumb to hit the home button. After being conscious of this, I started holding the phone a bit lower in my hand and the pain went away within a day and I haven't had it come back. It's definitely a little more difficult to reach spots on the phone, but I'm still torn on it cause I do like the bigger screen. I actually wish there was a button on the side of the phone that I could use as an alternate home button.
Comcast in my area has been hurting due to the local power company offering fast fiber speeds. This is going to be much worse for those local companies. I'm not saying it's bad, that's what happens when you spend 10 years without innovating.
I'll have to disagree with you as I own both a 3 year old Thinkpad and a 2 year old Macbook Pro. The keyboard of my Thinkpad has been giving me problems for over a year, and I haven't had any problems with the keyboard on my Macbook.
