how do y'all look at systems like AWS Aurora, GCP Spanner, etc which offer big speedups and cost savings, but lock you into the platform in practice? this isn't academic for me - I've got a service that's on vanilla RDS

in my experience, the trolls/etc kinda left and the people who remain are... surprisingly decent.

this makes no sense: can individual companies operate computing infrastructure more efficiently than cloud providers? if not, then instead of migrating just negotiate.

Or you can be like me, and add a case: +50% thickness, ruins the aesthetic, etc but when my phone went flying the other day the case was trashed and $1000+ phone was fine.

The utility of a thing does not excuse its danger to individuals and society. Shoplifting should be not ignored until first catch all the murderers. see "whataboutism"

no need to argue: IN ADDITION to removal attempts, we SHOULD ALSO influence (regulation, societal pressure, etc) how HR/etc departments use data they find online about a person.

don't forget "backup codes" - where exactly are you supposed to store them, say, while traveling ??? it would be great if backup codes were NOT usable except under <conditions> and/or use of a backup code permitted

I know many humans who wouldn't pass this test, e.g. in their non-native language... [ insert humiliating attempts to speak <language> ] Try instead to give GPT more examples of pronunciation (1000+) and then I suspect it'll

nice! AI is about to end this - shortly, we'll be able to ask for the answer directly, in zero clicks.

how does this work for blind users using screen readers?

update: it's actually more like $1500/mon and that includes an RDS proxy, failover instance and online backups with one-click restore.

To me, ghosting is about either not having the words to respond (kindness), or not wanting the conversation to continue (repetitiveness). I don't like it but sometimes it's better than available alternatives.

while true in some cases, I've been pleasantly surprised at how often GV/etc are accepted. another alternative (also minutes) is to use eSim, e.g. Google Fi - minutes to setup and many late model phones support multiple esims.

quite literally, since I also saw this online yesterday and copied it here... (I'd heard it before but was reminded yesterday)

multiple words! :-) I'm arguing that it's an obvious optimization to assign short tokens to commonly used concepts. I'm arguing that many people had the thought before society agreed on a given token for that thought.

thanks! killer example. how are you dealing with failover? how are you dealing with interactive reporting? how large are your records? is the s3 data in cold storage? how much is stored in S3 right now? is it warm-enough to query via (e.g.

most companies didn't allow themselves to run the experiment. there's many examples where new projects ("startups") succeeded, including 1000s of FOSS projects that were remote-first. also, large companies often have pro

remote-first means hiring the best-fit people for your company at the time and them working precisely when they're ready to be productive, zero commute, zero overhead. good luck competing with that. source: 25 years and 8+ companies wo

How big are y'all that you need InfluxDB? For one database that receives 100M 600 byte JSON records/day, a single node AWS PostgreSQL RDS instance is handling it effortlessly, and the DBA work is very part-time. We keep year+ of s

I fully expect this will happen. USG has more control if it's done by Starlink vs some other country's tech.
