@stacksofplates Yeah, it was one of those, I answered it, saw what they'd picked, and then could KIND of see where they were coming from with it...but wasn't sure if it was just me because of the previously mentioned factors or not

@NattNatt said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Just did a daily question - and I'm intrigued to see what everyone else thinks/would choose:
"You are starting a company and, instead of going the traditional route and hosting your web server in-house, you have decided to build and test your web application in a cloud environment. What kind of cloud service would best meet your needs?
-SaaS
-DaaS
-PaaS
-IaaS"
No answer is right since traditional and "host in house" don't go together. ;). PaaS isn't breaking any molds here, it's dead common.

IaaS
Definitely not IaaS. PaaS is likely what they wanted. Hopefully.

@DustinB3403 That's what I picked...Nope. OP chose PaaS as the correct answer. Not just me then - 32% correct so far...
The wording is pretty bad, but I can see where they got that. I don't think they are saying they want to maintain the web server, they just want to build the application. So the development of the app would be PaaS.
That's a badly worded question.
Yes. My opinion as a paid cert writer is that the wording makes it subjective and ambiguous. But the obvious intent is good and PaaS would be the right answer. They just need to reword it was accuracy and clarity.

So here is the logic.
DaaS... Not related so not applicable. This is the throw away answer.
SaaS... This one is a trick of the wording. OP wanted YOUR app not THEIR app. From context you can rule out SaaS. SaaS means in the end everything is a service to you including any apps run.
IaaS... This is what you use when you don't want to manage hardware but still want to run everything yourself. This isn't the right answer because you can't just focus on running your app but have to focus on administration too. So that rules this out.
PaaS... Only answer that satisfies letting you do nothing but focus on your app while still letting you bring your own app. So PaaS is the answer.
PaaS examples: A Small Orange, Heroku, Open Shift, Elastix Beanstalk

Checking stats before falling asleep and out crazy new traffic record is continuing. We are now double our busiest ever precious 24 hour period! And the numbers are still climbing. No idea what is driving it.

Waiting for my Sausage and Bacon sandwich to arrive, also doing some RADIUS work today as I've just banned 12+ Android phones off the network to free up some IP's for actual work laptops

Arrive? Waiting on the pig to be born and the chicken to hatch?

Tough crowd here...

Was there an update? The top menu bar now disappears when scrolling down the page. I really don't like it.

@coliver I don't see this issue, except for on mobile.

Not since the move to 1.1.0 a few days ago.

Disappearing isn't the right word. It hides from view when scrolling through a thread and I have to scroll up again to back to it. I'm using Chrome on Windows.

We sustained insane traffic all night, no letting up. You should see the graph. For reference, the record one day "thread loads" is 108K with only one time that I've ever seen it above 100 before that and that was 104K. In general, anything over 80K thread loads is a crazy busy day. 50K is a totally respectable day.
This graph is current as of four minutes ago and shows 249.9K!!
One of the best parts about it is that there are really no spikes. that one spike is very conservative as traffic spikes go, a normal day is dramatically more "spiky".

Don't see it on Firefox, I'll check Chrome.

Just caught up on my initial overnight ML back log. And now have my first coffee of the day.
