An EC2 switched off can still have an EIP attached and that attachment is billed I think.

>ec2 server reboots, its ip address is set by the provider of that connection, this means it may update at any time From memory, EC2 instances only get provisioned a new IP when booted from cold, not a reboot.

For future employers, what have you done in the many years being in one place? Can you show career progression, taking on more responsibilities (going upwards) or wearing more hats (going outwards) ? Those who job hop every 2-3yrs do so (u

Kudos to the developer! I'm a huge fan of open world driving sims (Forza Horizon series) and find the endless roads (and the long races) a great way to unwind. Knowing the roads is one thing, but add in changing weather conditions an

Ditto. I thought the constant racing mind (and thoughts constantly dividing like fractal patterns) was _normal_ until diagnosis in late 30s after talking to a friend about it. It boggles my mind how I survived on a daily basis prior to med

Stating the obvious, perhaps find a role which requires zero on-call? None of my backend (Java/Python) colleagues do any on-call, and sticking to contracted hours (09:00-17:30) is encouraged by team leads. I've done a fair amoun

There was a UK comedian (can't remember their name) who was so outraged at the markup the ticket sales middleman took he refunded all of those who paid and refused to do any more gigs at venues who only sold through that platform.

Take a moment to think about those in the same state of mind as you - but who are single.

I experienced Bell's Palsy for about a week and being told by the doctor it might never recover was.... well, quite frankly terrifying. For some unknown reason I woke up one day and it was gone. We've had a few mental glitches i

If you don't sign it there's a fair chance you won't get further than an initial interview.

One person's defence is their opponent's offence. On principle I'll never work for a company which by definition is equally both sides of the coin. I like the fact HN doesn't discuss topics in this industry.

You might not hear about them publicly but *BSD boxes usually run the backbone of network infrastructures - DNS servers, firewalls, file servers, etc. A predictable release schedule and praised upgrade paths mean companies can plan product

If the platform runs fine 99% of the time without a CDN, why add another layer to complicate things?

Companies which actually do DevSecOps are unlikely to have roles with that title.

Can't go wrong with Giant. The only thing I really noticed over the last decade is how much bigger bikes are. My Production Privee Shan 5 dwarfs my [large size] Orange 224. Back in 2010 the 224 was a beast!

Welcome back :-). What bike did you buy?

Anyone who's run a CI platform for more than a few devs and NodeJS projects quickly bumps into inode problems unless they thought about build server filesystems in advance. Very quickly you end up with hundreds of thousands of minuscu

Only the BBC gets money from the license fee. Part of the strong objection to the license fee is that BBC’s international arm already is a huge cash cow, so BBC UK could still remain ad-free.

"just because" is a great personality trait to have (in the context of learning more) and I'm thankful my father had the same attitude. When I was a child we used to disassemble mechanical/electrical things around the ho

It might be an email security product which scans links in emails before forwarding onto the users inbox. This does sometimes cause havoc with email based OTP login flows.

The "employee" lock-in played a heavy part too. No documentation meant they had significant leverage - it was an 8-person team who worked together for nearly 15yrs.

Sounds like you're working with a previous client of mine. The best solution - for me - ended up dropping them as a client. There was zero interest in change from both developers and management (no matter how senior). We parted ways a

Everything said could also apply to the bicycle industry. Two or three heavyweights own the factories and produce for everyone else.

I’d say the vast majority are for SEO reasons and the “great” developers can easily find work by professional reputation in their networks. If a recruiter / hiring manager sees a name attached to such blogs they naively automatically b
