I have a "niche" device called the Nvidia shield, and it does not support per-app switching either. It is slated for Android Oreo though, but until then I am running the shield on 1080p and just watch 4k netflix on lg smarttv.
Tbh, I would feel better if mode switching wasn't required at all, and Android and apple would invest in truly great upscaling techniques that can rival the native TV capabilities. The problem is, that I can't really as a consumer quantify if the upscaling is up to par, and rather assume that the TV is always better.
They tested this with mice, one set would have unlimited fat, another unlimited sugar, and the third set the combination of sugar and fat. Surprisingly, the first two sets of mice would stop eating when they were full. Only the third set of mice would go on eating and eating..
They are dealing with economy of scale. If facebook+google have 90% ad penetration then snap must displace facebook.
Allowing us to create the infrastructure outside of gitlab-ci and setting the reviewapp url/domain etc using the API would be extremely valueable for us, as we are stepping off of the gitlab-ci, but would very much like the UI interface upgrades review apps provides.
We are stepping off of Gitlab CI because of: * Only a single pipeline allowed per repository. We have a monorepo as we have a lot of small artifacts that make no sense to split out to multiple repo's and have to manage using gitsubmodules or having a separate code review process (we use merge requests a lot!) * Gitlab-ci's "stages" and not allowing dependencies on cross-stage is not helpful * No "skipped" status that can be supplied during the pipeline. E.g., we want to ignore changes to our documentation .
If you are able to change your application's code, you could integrate with vault's API directly which is the most clean solution. If you are unable, you can use [consul-template](https://github.com/hashicorp/consul-template) or [envconsul](https://github.com/hashicorp/envconsul) to securely introduce your secret which would entail reloading/restarting your application.
Jokes aside. The issues raised are very good, but I can't help but think biased to a certain intended crowd. How does the panel(?) stay objective? Are the different views on topics and how to formulate the synopsis (exaggeration) perhaps relevant to a certain type of conference attendee and so deserving of a separate conference track?
The post was about that microsoft is not transparent about the methodology/setup/scripts/target websites used. A third party should be able to support Microsoft's claims.
Is it possible for the setup to be published to your github.com/microsoft so that it may be executed automatically? Heck, go the extra mile put it in a CI and publish the data on regular basis :)
What compounds the problem with China is that the chinese are very much used to requesting an english language variant of the webstore as its often cheaper. This circumvents the CDN however as all stateful requests are routed to foreign servers making their experience really slow.
Also there's the chinese web license process that you have to go through to even host a website in china.
I would not put much stock (no pun intended) into this unless there are more videos like the first one in the article mentioned.
Regarding backpressure I am talking about reactive streams, of which I am a fan of late, this would be better suited perhaps at the application level [0].
Regarding infra/pod level migrations, I am wondering if this would be something to implement at the kubernetes level , perhaps a new type of controller/service ? You could then perhaps use labels to identify throttling/freezing/thawing of pods during migration.
I like how this migration works. What about live migrations? Maybe I misunderstood, but I think in the tutorial the service is offline for some time. What about maybe applying backpressure (tcp level) to timeout the request while migration is underway?
Edit: If we are doing tarball migrations, then maybe i'd rather have an rsync backend :)
Oh and if we are doing large amounts of data migration (gigabytes), maybe even use something akin to something like what bittorrent sync is doing? The scenario would be that you use bittorrent sync (this is a theoretical example..) to one-way migrate continuously (to maybe multiple hosts..??), then pause/hold traffic when satisfied, complete final sync and you are migrated.

Last I checked you could not mix the two easily [0]
