davidelettieri··on What Is Green Software and Why Do We Need It?
Ecograder ranks it's own homepage as D. Maybe they should work on it a bit.
davidelettieri··on Learnings from our years of Kubernetes in production
Any documentation on this?

> This is very context-specific, but depending on the node type, AKS reserves about ~10-30% of the available memory (for internal AKS services)

davidelettieri··on Firefox on the brink?
It is quite slow on android IMHO. At least for me, in comparison with Chrome.

I also use ublock origin in android which should make loading page faster I guess but unless the page is absolutely awful, chrome remains faster even with ads on.

davidelettieri··on .NET 8
My feeling was that Microsoft open sourced the .net framework to help Mono catchup a bit.

As for access to windows, to be honest I think that's pretty easy to have. Run on general purpose hardware, it's not that expensive.

I think that having access to a Mac is relatively harder than having access to a Windows machine.

When .net core came out I was under the impression that the product was the future of .net but maybe I was living in a bubble.

Anyway, I understand your point but I still think that the disinterest towards .net is tied to a generalized adversion to Microsoft (probably deserved) but not really related to the tech itself nor it's availability on Linux or Mac.

davidelettieri··on .NET 8
Microsoft started open sourcing .net framework on 2007 with 3.5 version.

The roslyn compiler is open source since 2014.

I guess it's fine if people don't like .net but I think the open source part is not that relevant.

davidelettieri··on My speed cubing page
Do you know any website where OLL and PLL algorithms are listed along with "setup" moves?

davidelettieri··on How likely is losing a Google account?
I find that owning the email address domain it is safe enough with any decent provider. If you get locked out just change the provider and dns configuration.

Even if you are storing passwords in Google account you should be able to reset all of them since you have access to the email.

davidelettieri··on Microsoft Transitions U.S. FTEs to “Discretionary Time Off”
In Italy it is required by law to take PTO if you have a "permanent" work contract. You can monetize part of the PTO but the biggest part must be used within a certain time limit.

I think it's a good thing but we pay it with our lower average salaries.

davidelettieri··on Why Can't Database Tables Index Themselves? (2006)
On azure, SQL database advisor suggest (and automatically apply if you want) indexes based on the workload of the db. If you decide to apply the index, it evaluates for a while if it is working as expected and if not it rollbacks the index creation

davidelettieri··on Wireless is a trap (2020)
I have MX Keys and MX Master 3 and couldn't be happier. Bluetooth works with dongle and with integrated usb.
davidelettieri··on Web Development for Beginners – A Curriculum
Looks like the first few lessons use Javascript to give an introduction to programming and not to web development in general. I don't see any agenda. Just teach programming on the language a web developer will happen to use later.
davidelettieri··on Truths about video game stories
50 years old dad was in his twenties when Doom was out. Older people that plays videogames are mostly the ones that played videogames at a young age.
davidelettieri··on Italian Pronunciation: A Primer for Singers (2016)
I'm Italian but not a teacher. The rules seems mostly reasonable but I think the author is wrong in the Diphthongs section. In the word "pietà" the "i" is not pronounced as in yarn. If you want an "i" as in yarn you need something like "iato".

In my personal opinion (not at all an expert on languages) an English speaker should work mostly on "gn" and "gl" since in Italian they form a single sound together while English speaking people split the sounds in two parts like "g-n".

davidelettieri··on All my servers have an 8 GB empty file on disk
I always thought that database files should be on a different drive from the os. If the db fills up the HD, the os is still running smoothly.
davidelettieri··on Why is it so hard to see code from 5 minutes ago?
You don't need to think about good commit messages. Just something that works for you and then rebase before pushing. That works for me at least
