New comment by serverlessmom in "Surnames from nicknames nobody has any more"

Here's an exception to these general rules (first names appearing in surnames) is Peterman: you'd think it was some kind of relation to a relative named peter, but it is actually a name for a profession. A Peterman was someone tasked with finding deposits of saltpeter for the production of fertlizer and gunpower.

A partial documentation is on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltpetre_works

A better narrative of this industry is in Ed Conway's book "Material World" https://edconway.substack.com/p/welcome-to-the-material-worl...

Extremely good outbound: Triplechecker

serverlessmom — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 09:34:00 +0000

Got a submission in our contact form from triplechecker. It listed two typos on our marketing site, and promised to show me 127 more if I signed up for their service (few bucks a month).

Our CEO regularly reads these contact form submissions, so sure enough 12 hours later we've signed up for the service.

New comment by serverlessmom in "Saving months of compute time with a single Grafana query"

serverlessmom — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 12:56:05 +0000

Yeah. My dad had told me more than one horror story of early tech startups buying truckloads of hardware to scale way beyond demand growth. And I remember when getting on Slashdot meant your service would inevitably go down.

Of course, given stable demand and known requirements, bare metal can be a great option. But it’s not strictly better than public cloud hosting.

I think it’s just been long enough that people have forgotten the limitations of bare metal engineering.

Slightly longer: having many versions of the same SDK required added to startup time.

It’s a 50% reduction in startup time, and each “run” for a pod is fairly quick.

It's surprising how much asset re-use doesn't happen due to small technical hurdles e.g. file incompatibility. Interestingly: for an experienced artist, having a whole library of assets to base your new assets on saves a ton of time, and is almost as fast as asset re-use.
