What does the approval process look like here? The company website associated with the account fails to load, Exin Therapeutics

Posit has solved similar problems with their Package Manager as well, the benefit being that it's hosted on-prem, but the user has to build wheels for their desired architecture (if they're not on pypi).

I don't think the term "Microkernel Architecture" should be used in this context. I think "Modular Architecture," (or Plug-in like is mentioned) gets closer to this extension-based pattern.

The reason being that there's no relevance to the kernel, and modular kernels, also take this approach with replaceable plug-ins or extensions.

I could imagine a civil or criminal case relying on shredded documents as a source of evidence.

Can't reproduce the issue after a few minutes? Sorry wont-fix, mercurial core.

Joking aside, it's really neat to see the scale and sophistication of error detection appearing in these data centers.

Yeah, this is very good advice.

I think if revenue or product quality is tied to a VCS, having an active-active or active-passive setup is the way to go.

Fortunately, I'm on an on-prem product so that investment hasn't seemed worth it yet.

This doesn't mean we don't escrow our code, but rather than try to rebuild from source, I just take a short coffee break and wait for the impacted service to come back up :)

The last time this happened, it was after they shipped the phone app.

I wonder if they have a big feature underway or are just migrating more infrastructure to Azure?

EDIT: Either way, some postmortems would be appreciated before more customers have to look for a backup solution...

Is it too early for an acquisition?

Yeah, I've never had to implement my own DNS cache for a language before...

If you're on a system with cgo available, you can use `GODEBUG=netdns=cgo` to avoid making direct DNS requests.

This is the default on MacOS, so if it was running on four Mac Pro's I wouldn't expect it to be the root cause.

I would really like to see a postmortem for the recent outages. While I doubt it's all the same root cause, it would be nice for some messaging around improving resiliency.

I think the outages could be related to:

1. Github mobile just went public so they may of changed the scaling params to keep up with expected increase in traffic 2. The new notification system seems to be a lot heavier, and they could still be catching up to the changes 3. They were somewhat recently acquired by Microsoft so maybe they're migrating to Azure to reduce expenses

Whatever the cause, 11 days with outages out of 90 is pretty rough when you rely on Github for project management, a central hub for viewing CI, and all VC concerns. Feel bad for the smaller companies that wholly adopted GitOps and are blocked deploying hotfixes during these outages.
