To elaborate a bit more on this point, you have to think about it like any complex system failure - it's almost never one thing, but rather a combination of many different factors. The factors around post NYE releases: - high risk chan

When I was at Uber, we noticed that most incidents are directly caused by human actions that modify the state of the system. Therefore, a large "backlog" of human actions that modify the system state have a much higher chance of c

Seems like the incident lasted from 04:00 AM PST to 04:30 AM PST, at least for BigQuery (sorry, image timestamps are in JST, since I'm in Japan): https://imgur.com/a/kiHED6v

I'm aware how people on this site think about products like this. Can you tell me why, despite the strong sentiment here, the product is still so popular?

Can you respond to me by clearly stating your point?

Do you really believe this so strongly that you write this strongly-worded comment? Plenty of reasons why people would convince themselves to buy them: - I can easily return it if I don't like it (most never do) - the OS X/iOS int

Can you explain specifically what you makes you think that there will be heavy demand for travel, based on some facts?

The most newsworthy one in the last year was core js - a JS poly fill library that most other big npm libraries are built on top of. The maintainer is some random guy from a remote part of Russia. About half a year ago, he was sentenced to

I can't think of any other company that bends over backwards to please engineers who use their platform (and, by extension, the people who visit this site) more than Stripe. Back in 2013, when my co-founder and I started a company and

Can’t speak for the rest of the anglosphere, but in the US, when someone says “spicy”, they mean “this has too much capsaicin”. If someone were referring to the strength of the taste, they would probably just say “I don’t like this flavor”,

You bring up a good point - it would be a good idea for AWS to set some sensible max budget defaults for new accounts to prevent surprises. Since they don't, if you are literally so concerned with your current costs for this month, you

You're right, it's shitty of them to not provide that out of the box. However, if it's such a big problem for you, as others have pointed out, it's easy to solve. If you are paying $500/month for S3, you must be pro

I think we are probably 90% in agreement on things, just talking about it in different terms. I think AWS/GCP have both gotten overwhelming in terms of how many different services they provide. Many people fall for it and end up playin
