To be fair, it looks like you agree with AWS on this point.

Yeah indeed. You know who the one person at Amazon is that I'd expect to never fat finger a sensitive command ever ever again? The guy who managed to fat finger S3 on Tuesday. Firing him over this mistake is worse than pointless, it

You can disagree on that if you'd like, but note that I explicitly acknowledged the possibility of exceeding these limits. In my opinion, for most cases/workloads, it's highly unlikely that you will and designing for that fro

So long as they do that with all videos regardless of source, what's the problem? It's annoying, possibly, but it doesn't really restrict the open flow of information that made the Internet great.

...it should only need to save you like an hour of one person's time per month to pay for itself for five users. Products can be extremely basic and still be worthwhile in that price range.

As a counter-anecdote, my Apple devices seem to be the only ones that don't give me problems.

More sensible than trying to have a conversation by stating your points as condescending "questions". In case you actually care to discuss it, there's definitely a trade-off between variety of cipher support (which some peopl

Yeah, "types of mail", not "sources of mail". The difference here is that PF Chang's and my local Chinese place are equally as capable of sending me bulk mail.

If it takes 100k LOC to manage your user logins, I doubt you can really put it behind a "simple" API. You're still going to have intricate details that everyone needs to know, but now you're adding all of the issues of n

You just have to read it in the voice of a stage actor clearly overdoing it on a dramatic soliloquy. Not sure if you're into comedians, but Paul F. Tompkins does this pretty frequently and well. That said, it's still insufferabl

I do releases by baking a new virtual machine with the code+config built in and booting it. I guess it's possible to do that on real hardware, but calling it simply "harder" borders on disingenuous.

What comparison? Can I simply ask the colo for a brand new dedicated server every time the machine dies or I want to do a new release? Do they offer services to provision, start, and load balance to new dedicated servers when the ones I hav

by awj 10y ago
Funny, I've taken it as justification for releasing often. If I have a hard time changing one thing without breaking the service, it's nearly impossible to change a hundred things without breaking something. Since it's a give
