now, you can access i guess, since fastly is back

Fastly is back now. (The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented.)

wouldn't websites have alternate CDN's managing their traffic, why should they have a single point of failure ?

I was assuming there are couple of services like Fastly and companies might have architected keeping in mind the alternatives too, I guess.

Normally you configure your a record to point at the cdn as the cdn is the thing that gives you multiple points of failure (caches all over the world). Hard to have a fallback to that. Running multiple cdns would be extremely expensive. Cdn caches are kept useful by traffic running through them, so hard to have a backup for that too.

Because interacting and switching between cdns can be very complicated and/or costly

It should be planned for, especially by major tech organizations like reddit, or Amazon, etc.

But I won't fault news organizations, who already don't have boatloads of money for not having fail over cdns

Fastly is down, impacting lot of sites

Hi All, Glad to share my blog here.

What is my blog ?

Name of my blog is Techno Paradigms (https://gansai.blogspot.com)

Why should I read it?

I share what I learn. ( Very rarely, I have written my perspectives on software paradigms - like how things are evolving etc -- but I like to write more on this )

I try to focus on few topics like: Java, Cloud, Architecture etc.

Why is it awesome?

I am not sure whether my blog is awesome.

I guess people interested in backend & distributed systems can visit my blog.

( Nowadays I am trying to appreciate role of products like: Kafka, Debezium, Hazelcast etc )

(Probably I wrote more than a short intro )

which terminal addon do you use? As I am extremely interested to use terminal within Atom.The other day, I was using terminal-plus and it seems to have some issues.

Terminal plus is pretty sweet, works well for me!

the idea looks like: 'why not extend jsfiddle/splunker to a real running website ?'

me too. just tried typing when cursor loaded. tried to click on cursor

Will this be used by automated content creators? For example, lots of articles on some of news websites (including wikipedia) are written by bots. So the bot would write an article, invoke proselint and correct, if required?

Yes, per the blog post he plans to spend more time working on rr than he thinks it's reasonable for Mozilla to have to support:

And now there's rr. People think it's amazing, and it is, but we're only scratching the surface of what could be done. I'm bursting with ideas, and realizing them will require a lot of resources, resources that Mozilla cannot and should not provide --- we probably need to capture some of the value of this technology via a for-profit company. We can change the way people debug software, and in its own way that may be as important as my Web platform work, and it's work I desperately want to do.
