Simply put, Docker includes a bunch of UX components that Kubernetes doesn't need. Kubernetes is currently relying on a shim to interact with the parts that it _does_ need. This change is to simplify the abstraction. You can still use

Generally speaking, functions don't run continuously. If your use case is 100% compute 100% of the time, it's not a great fit for lambda.

I didn't mean to imply that they did it to be kind, I think it's clear they made this change to be more competitive in the market place. It's still great to see.

It's still measured by wall clock time - not CPU time. I'd love to see them bill for actual CPU time.

It's nice to see that AWS is using their economy of scale to reduce their own costs, and passing that on to the consumer.

It's the exact same play as Yelp - once they grew out of the community review forum stage, they turn to extortion to make it profitable.

I do not spend that much on Amazon, but have encountered fraudulent products (shipped & sold by 3rd party). Confirmation bias on both sides aside, I agree with the top comment. Anything I really care about, I buy in store somewhere wh

I mean not correct in the literal sense. It's not about reliability nor simplicity nor testability - the code is wrong. It has a bug. The code is written without understanding that lambda containers can be re-used, thus, it's exha

Lambda may not be a magic reliability wand, you definitely still need to manage downstream pressure. That said: > The code creates a MySQL connection during each invocation. This is not a correct implementation for Lambda. You shouldn&#x

It would be challenging to do so - the rule states that full time students can only enroll in one full-time online class.

Learning basic *nix commands like sed, awk, and grep has helped me so much. I still frequently google/manpage them, but I often find myself thinking "I can do this with X in just a few seconds!"

This is great! One thing that many HN-ers may not know is that Amazon Prime users get a free subscription to give to anyone on Twitch. It'd be neat if there was a button here that would allow a user to subscribe with Prime; I'm su

That's not entirely true anymore. Several third party services offer debugging experiences. Are there issues running java using serverless? I've worked with a number of enterprises using lambda and java. Seems to be fine ¯\_(ツ)_&#

I develop in the cloud! Serverless Framework deploys are now less than three seconds. It's almost exactly like `run watch` now! I deploy to a dev AWS account, then a staging AWS account, and then promote to prod out of github. Check it

Oh absolutely! I'm commenting that fuel economy is likely not the deciding factor for people considering purchasing a Tesla vs a Camry. In fact, I can't imagine many car purchase decisions boil down to "Camry vs Model 3&quo

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and? I don't think fuel economy is the reason people purchase a Tesla. The Model 3 beats the Camry on cool-points alone.

This seems like a perfect solution for a portfolio, blog, or new project. I like that it's open-source, lightweight, and has a self-hosted option! Elevator pitch from `rational.markdown` GoatCounter aims to give meaningful privacy-frie

But the person earning 150% more than _them_ isn't purchasing a Tesla. It's a Lamborghini or a Bugatti. It's not a 3br home in SF - it's a summer home in Napa, or a chalet in Tahoe. The person earning 150% more than _the

That's precisely my point regarding the rat race - what is one trying to catch up to? Is there economic or social anxiety at 350k/yr which evaporates at 400k/yr?

I'd strongly disagree with that assessment after building on serverless platforms full time for 9 months. I'll never go back to a server-full backend.

by astuyvenberg 7y ago
Yes, I believe so. We've just passed the peak of inflated expectations on the technology hype curve, and the comments on HN reflect this. But in general - Do people manually deploy MySQL, Postgres, or MariaDB on EC2 servers? No, (most)

Finally, this has been a long time coming. Connecting to existing RDS instances from lambda functions has been a pain for users looking to adopt serverless tech into their existing applications.

I've been using Brave for several months. It's exactly what I wanted - A faster, chromium-based browser with sensible, privacy-conscious defaults. I don't personally mind the Chrome Web Store default.
