Can someone explain how a system container is more secure than an application container, if that is indeed the case?

Note to the publisher: when I was about 2/3 through the article the article disappeared and I was scrolled to the footer. When I scrolled back to the top there was only the title, key takeaways, and about 3000px of Taboola. Bad form.
Thumbs up for dark mode. I really want to love this but I can’t get over the idea of paying GCP to have cloud run clone my repo over and over again every time I interact with Async. I’m still going to try it, but I think I’d rather rent a VM and just have it be faster. This is coming from someone who deals with big fat monorepos, so maybe it’s not that bad for the average user.
In my experience over the last 5 years the vast majority of companies I have worked with have moved to AMD for server purchases. Intel is not competing well on the home PC or server market in recent times at least that is what I am seeing.
100%. I’m seeing all of the new capacity in public clouds shift towards AMD. It’s hard to beat faster for cheaper. ARM has an even stronger value proposition, albeit with the requirement of compatibility. The switch would happen faster if there were enough equipment to go around… we switched all of our CI fleet to the latest AMD generation C4D‘s and got 36% faster builds, but had to go back a generation because GCP kept running out of boxes for us.
My ideal situation is one where anyone can fab simple processors at home the same way you can 3D print almost any small object with under $5000 in total expenses.
Unfortunately that seems far away.
Try watching DYI CPU videos on YouTube. It’s VERY far away.
Long have I wanted a cat door that would only open for my cats, not the mean neighborhood one that eats their food. I can’t be the only one. I’ve been meaning to try to build one with a camera, rPi and Google Coral, but never got around to it. There’s the matter of the locking mechanism and more.

Incidentally this makes me think about how little I’ve needed to think about load balancing for a long time. It’s one of those cloud primitives that make sense as a default for most use cases and just works.

I use this a lot too. Also, if you open a PR on the GitHub website and press the “.” key, it opens the review in VSCode, which I consider a much better web experience.
TIL thanks.

How is this company worth even 1% of that?
Their product looks like basic wrappers for managing postgres instances and dashboards. Why would anyone with even minimal technical expertise pay for a generic service like that?
A company that does $4B in revenue at nice margins should be worth more than $1B.

It’s survived a generation and I really enjoy playing it with my kids. Even though they can run circles around me with their reaction times, I still can win on strats sometimes. Good times.
