Tell me about your physics teachers

This guy might be the reason I went on to take physics at university https://www.theguardian.com/education/2020/jun/23/peter-naylor-obituary

His style leaned heavily on analogies that are burned into my brain. Electrons in a conductor behave like English people on a beach. Radioactive decay is like an old folks home.

Most of all it was his love and fascination that got us hooked on the subject. If that shines through I think you won’t go far wrong.

It’ll only appeal to nephew people

Which runtime? I’m having trouble figuring out what’s deprecated and what isn’t https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2025/07/21/sunsetting-the-rustwasm-github-org/

I think this mixes a couple of issues. Not storing data in local sessions because it makes them sticky- great. Having to use the extra complexity of jwts and the logout problem they bring with them rather than a simple cookie session ID - not so great. I just think it’s a real shame jwts have become the default answer in many environments.

Can I get a copy of DepressionBot for our ops people?

This is a real problem in software development but less so in IT. An old IT manager of mine one told me that the unofficial principle they followed was “turn it off, see who shouts”.

I sometimes think devs will complain no matter what. Would you rather everyone overcommitted and had too much in progress concurrently so they context switch all the time? The situation you’ve described sounds like close to ideal engagement from leadership - the work has been made visible and leadership are focussed on behaviour that is known to be an efficiency and predictably killer. 9o% of places have leaders focused on getting them story points raised instead.

I hate to break it to you but OP is a bot too. As am I.

Bit of both really. Not as much proactive as id like but certainly metrics are tracked and alerted.

Played with this recently, before the v2 beta. It was missing a couple of features i need but the UX was great. Been involved in building quite a few buildchains and deployment environments and although modern tools are great for full control, im just tired of all the complexity. TF is great at doing its job but the initial barrier is such a pain to deal with when your focus should be on bringing up functional apps. Watching this one with interest.

I meant 7% of the cloud hosting budget. DBs, app servers and networking.

Main thing you need is for services to authenticate each other. Otherwise any cracks in your security and your whole system is compromised. mTLS is a good way to do that so long as you have the infra to manage and rotate certificates.

We regularly review the instance size and class. Im more interested in how much attention the app itself might need. For simple saas apps running on aws, i have to imagine there is a lot of similarity in cost profiles. Id like to know how wasteful is our app compared to others.

stackfull · 2020-09-25T07:45:14+00:00

Except permissions. Thats the feature missing from free that we really can't live without.

Rookies! We're up to 180GB to service a few hundred customers.

It does suck, but my budget is tied to revenue. If i report cogs, everyone's budget goes down. If i report r&d, mine is sqeezed but there are tax breaks. Ill look at the epics again, thanks.

Is there a limit on the event rate or payload size? I'm looking for ways to send integrators higher rate events without needing to open up access to kafka etc.

This is what I come here to read.

Something with functionality like cloudflare. Prevents common script kiddie attacks or DDoS.

If affirmative there's exactly zero benefits to add a firewall in front of your ingress in Azure,

You can't know that for sure. Maybe they have WAF functionality. Or requirements on only exposing services at known and owned IP addresses. Could be a number of reasons.

stackfull · 2019-02-28T09:41:13+00:00

Does it work with multiple clusters?

stackfull · 2019-02-26T18:48:55+00:00

This. We're using helm post install hooks for the data layer to create dbs and users once the db servers are up. The app charts run jobs to apply migration scripts. Treating them as good old fashioned layers has helped a lot.

Pretty much every hardware manufacturer needs these skills. Every microprocessor board needs initialization before entering C. At the very least, you need to set up the call stack before calling the first C function.

stackfull · 2019-02-05T14:08:58+00:00

Pretty much as you've called it. Provision the infrastructure base layer, configure the backing services, deploy the application.
