Most of the time you know the format you expect to decode you don't have to guess it anyway. But I think you should be able to detect the type of format for binary encodings just as well as there spec is pretty specific. Maybe not at g

Would you say if the data format was say JSON, YAML or TOML or any more human and bash friendly format it would have been easy to implement with your current experience? Not to vouch for having Git store things in human format. But I often

I can understand. Way back when I had an internship at a Apple reseller I always found it crazy people where strongly against upgrading to the latest release. A lot of it was because 3rd party software lagging behind on support. But nowaday

True, but the order of things will never allow this to happen, either the old standard lags behind, some people disagree on something (just look at the tabs vs spaces discussion) or some people just have inherently different personal prefer

I don't remember exactly. We did use elb's for all other services. So it was either cost or it had to do with MX record restrictions in that you're not allowed to use CNAMEs in MX records.

It doesn't really matter which standard you use imho, as long as you automate the tedious task of code formatting to arbitrary standards. If it's something the computer can do let it do it don't waste your time on it. This go

I agree, I wouldn't want it any other way nowadays, but back then I had to migrate a lot of legacy system to AWS under pressure. For one part we had a legacy service needing to connect to the services in the ASG and the best way to imp

I would say the risk is the same as with hardware 'bugs'. Where for example a passive component that drives a power transistor can exceed it's expected tolerance rate. Thats why reliable electronic systems (medical, space, av

I think AWS not having automatic hostnames for ASG instances is a way to lure you into Lambda's, at least that's how I got hooked.

As with most issues in security its a balance between usability and security. The real problem is the majority of the users will always try to find the path of least resistance. No matter how well documented a secure procedure is, if a user

The same arguments apply for downloading a binary. If you want to pull this even further. When is the last time you verified the signing keys of your OS distribution repo without relying on the internet? A lot of install methods that are no

Tell me how this is different for downloading a binary instead. Unless you get something like a GPG through a completely different channel.

I've been searching for RPi's in this formfactor and with protected I/O for a while. Besides your product I found some others but all suffer from the same drawback (for me at least), which is the price. I can understand there

I have not looked into this, but if it's a flag you might be able to change it yourself in the info.plist file. Unless code signing get in the way.

It is a Python problem because we praise Python for how portable it is, that it binds with every C library out there to provide the functionality we need at the performance we want and how easy it is to install with Pip. But then forget all
