Not sure why this is downvoted - this is absolutely correct. A lot of AWS services under the hood depend on others, and especially us-east-1 is often used for things that require strong consistency like AWS console logins/etc (where yo

I wonder how much of this is "DNS resolution" vs "underlying config/datastore of the DNS server is broken". I'd expect the latter.

But it makes the people they want to target very easy to spot - just look at who doesn't watch cat videos. The absence of data is data itself.

Is it life-changing if those jobs require you (or will soon require) to be in a high-cost of living area and that your landlord will end up pocketing a large chunk of your salary (or enjoy your long commute every day). Not to mention a FAAN

Working in BigTech and/or some high paying consulting company puts you in the top 10-20% and may still be worth it. But for the other bottom 80-90% outside of those industries SWE is essentially the modern version of an assembly line w

I don't think he is advocating for ageism. He is merely making an observation, which is absolutely true in most companies. You are more likely to get away with overworking and mistreating a youngster than someone with more life exper

It's the next evolution of people branding themselves as "senior" developers just because they followed a Next.js tutorial and managed to deploy it on some PaaS (and having worked with such, I'm impressed they actually e

200mbps is still wishful thinking in a typical household with ISP-provided consumer-grade router/AP in a suboptimal location. At the very least it will slow everything else down while it takes ~11 hours at a sustained 200mbps to transf

eSIM is essentially a client-server protocol for provisioning secrets into an embedded SIM (whether discrete chip soldered on the mainboard or emulated by the modem). The QR code you get when you purchase an eSIM is merely an access token t

Depends where you order your server. If you order from the same scammers that sell you "serverless" then sure. If you order from a more legitimate operator (such as literally any hosting company out there) you get unmetered bandwi
