Hello! I am trying to compile a list of common reasons why users don't move from a big centralized evil™ service to either a self-hosted solution or another more "freedom friendly" option (say Gitlab.com vs Github.com) or some other thing altogether. While there are ofcourse common regular ...

From Ricon West 2013. Talk summary/abstract: Today's large-scale web services provide rapid responses to interactive requests by applying large amounts of computational resources to massive datasets. They typically operate in warehouse-sized datacenters and run on clusters of machines that are...

How do you guys handle centralized logging? I was thinking of using ELK stack. If anyone has used it, how has been your experience? To elaborate - I'll push nginx logs & application logs - Nginx logs is at 3 gigs a day - Application logs are at 30 gigs a day

I work at a company that has over 20 development teams. We're all on similar technology stacks, but interaction between engineers across teams is limited. I'm keen to arrange a kata pairing exchange to give engineers primarily an opportunity to improve their coding skills, but also a chance to inter...

I'm experiencing this scenario, and I would love to hear from people with similar experiences and how things panned out. I've been working as a senior engineer at a company for roughly 7 years. We have gained a lot of experience over the years. We have been acquired by a larger company with an...

What small change(s) have made a large impact on your life? These could be things such as reading, meditation, walking, new hobbies, learning a new language, additions to daily routines, etc, etc. Little daily changes of your routine could lead to places you've never imagined, or changes you...

I am writing a test for a toy distributed system. In the test, I spin two components locally and make them talk to each other. I use printf for debugging, so I want a simple and unambiguous way to *get* the node's stderr. The problem is that there are two stderr streams, but my driver program on...

Two decades after the first proof of photon entanglement, the ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed quantum entanglement between top quarks and their antiparticles at the Large Hadron Collider. This breakthrough confirms entanglement at high energies and offers a new perspective on quantum mechani...

Researchers have confirmed that quantum entanglement persists between top quarks, the heaviest known fundamental particles. Physicists have demonstrated quantum entanglement in top quarks and their antimatter partners, a discovery made at CERN. This finding extends the behavior of entangled particle...

With this measurement, the Large Hadron Collider again demonstrated its ability to provide very high-precision measurements and bring new insights into an old mystery. The CMS collaboration revealed a groundbreaking measurement of the electroweak mixing angle, confirming Standard Model predictions a...

Researchers at the University of Rochester, working with the CMS Collaboration at CERN, have made significant advancements in measuring the electroweak mixing angle, enhancing our understanding of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Their work helps explain the fundamental forces of the universe...

Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how new particles are detected in LHC experiments. By training AI to recognize and differentiate between typical and atypical jets, researchers can identify potential new physics hidden within particle collisions. Recent advancements were highlighted at a p...
