@MadMadMadMrMim It's a CDP SaaS offering

What's the problem?

@AtuM You have no idea!

@DangerousDev I hope the app wasn't doing an npm install everytime it was spun... 😂... No clue what else could've taken so long... 🤔

@n3xus Wow, 10 mins is long! I guess there was something wrong with the app (or maybe how the dependencies were handled)... They do have a default timeout of 600 seconds.

I have tried smaller things with node functions, but never faced any issues with startups.

BTW, which runtime version were you running on?

Okay, so give u some numbers here, for out dotnet core azure functions, it takes around 2-3 seconds for a cold start!

@n3xus For the payment thing, the consumption model will fireup new instance whenever u need it.

The Premium mode is a hybrid thing, with some instances already hot and running while the others are fired up whenever u need them.

Both kinds of models are really important depending on the nature of service and scale!

@n3xus No it doesn't! We are using it in prod! The cold start time is not even noticeable! And it DOES Not forget about the request! Are u sure you didn't do anything wrong while trying!?

@n3xus And if you're referring to cold starts, the happen in all three: Azure Functions, Google cloud functions and Lambda..!

@n3xus Azure functions are serverless! Consumption plan is just a payment model...

@n3xus Actually in my case we were building things from scratch. Our architecture is completely cloud native with main server work completely on Azure functions (GC Functions costs 2x this). Also, it is an IoT based project and Azure & AWS had a far more robust toolset...!

You saying Linux got Han Solo?

In me experience, Azure & AWS have a lot lot more to offer than GCP. Also, GCP charges 2x, sometimes even 3x the amount that too with a lot of limitations (at least for the services I was looking into)

The logo u used for cutting edge isn't really cutting edge... Oh irony!

@rutee07 I can feel u bro... And those messages every hour or so to check on u don't really help!!!

The lead is actually a nice guy, I just think he's a bit confused about how to manage his team when everyone is remote... And I think he's getting a bit paranoid!

@rutee07 Lel, me trying to micro-manage him would be epic 😂

@asgs I'm doing that... The sad part is, I'm the only one in the team speaking up directly.. Rest are just discussing things behind the scenes...

@alexbrooklyn Lel, we're even supposed to log our whole day in advanced, hour by hour, letting him know what we are working on at a particular hour, or when we are taking a break larger than 20 mins 😂

The new edge comes with a IE compatibility mode to run websites compatible only with IE.. Microsoft would probably purge IE when they roll it out... Will be an end to all this misery!

@Haxk20 Obviously I'll make some changes to the code... I once created a similar WPF application and installed on most of the PCs in my University's lab 😂

@Haxk20 Giving him this as an exe would be a great idea actually 😂

@bugInCode Or as in our case, just rely upon them 😝

Install devRant UWP on it... !

@devTea I guess you're out of luck then 😛...

@devTea Are u from India?.. I think these guys don't ship internationally

I sorta knew what lies ahead after reading about 2 DbContexts...

Now, I own a windows PC too, and if you are ranting about the updates, there are all kinds of options to pause or delay updates, or not install them.. A programmer, least of all people, can be expected to know his way around an OS! Only problem I've ever faced with windows is that if you restart your system when an update is ready to be installed, it automatically starts updating and it should not happen.. But again I have a really good config so it barely takes few minutes for me...

The overall experience on windows is far far better than ubuntu! (except for the CLI experience I must admit)

@xkill See there's a big difference b/w how servers work and how people use their PCs. I hope I don't need to elaborate that...

There's plenty of important applications written poorly for ubuntu, say, SQL Workbench which has a serious memory leak problem.. It's a pretty large list. And ecosystem is an important part of OS experience.

On the other hand, Ubuntu experience is itself fullbof bugs. Majority of times when I remove my external display, it just doesn't detect the remove or sometimes leaves me with just a black screen... And the stuttering!! Don't even get me started on that...

@Kimmax Exactly my reaction... I thought, shortage of some applications aside, trying out ubuntu would be light and smooth experience... Guess I was in for a huge surprise..
