I get why it's like this. Some background. I work at an Amazon sub. This is a good UI for the way we work. We don't spin up a single machine pretty much ever unless it's a cloud dev machine, at which point the price is listed

Love waterloo grads. They're 2 years ahead of other college grads. They come to the internship ready to ship. They definitely power stuff. But Stanford grads all take moonshots. Which would I rather have? Waterloo, they're great w

also these things don't go down THAT often... well aws, not some others. More uptime that you probably had before. even the stock market takes a few days off every decade. Just ask W.

none of my stuff is in us-east-1. I chose that specifically 15 years ago. Been a great decision.

when you have a circular dependency, one strategy employed, is to have it be circular but interruptible for 18 or so hours. Call it an oh shit bar. I'm glad I never had to get that deep into the failure chain.

My (private) school had the luxury of sorting this through a multi tier system. a) detention was 3 hours minimum on a saturday. It involved manual labor like mulching flower beds, picking up litter while rolling around 50 gallon drums, etc.

I have a peruvian (not athletic/nerdy) friend who moved to the us a while ago. (I played through college) his son randomly started playing football his sophmore year after getting beaned by a baseball and felt baseball was more dangero

s/stop/reduce/ I don't consider it a panacea. People with rooted android phones are a drop in the bucket compared to people running botnets using programming languages. I'd be super happy if I could force people to

Your idea works for generic crawlers. That doesn't work for targeted bots. A major benfit of device attestation is to stop the hordes of custom bot creators who try all sorts of ways to make a buck off of your platform such as sms toll

Agreed. I don't know anything about turning sand into transistors or assembly but do well. So I don't know my full stack either. What is important is not being afraid to learn the rest of your system and keeping an index. Most imp

I played when I was a kid. I figured out you could just build condos like crazy and make money pause build more, and repeat, get tons of money, build all the way up. But I couldn't figure out how to get people to the top level for that

Actually to me the answer is Ms made them get more accurate in their graph. It was definitely not Rick solid in 2015-2018 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14452011 https://techcrunch.com/2017/07&#x2

that's called load balancing and regional availability. many companies do multi-cdn. in fact it's smart to use multiple CDNs so you can do better in contract time. Twitch uses IVS but we have failover to other CDNs for very large

many parts of AWS are not on AWS, and there's reasons to have bare metal but it's not as common and aws gives you good access in most cases.

actually incorrect. They figured they could sell unused hardware retail didn't need during non-peak, and retail could become more scalable. They went off in a corner with uncle andy for a year or 2 and built the basics. Like 10 years l

I may have my timelines wrong but I don't remember github being rock solid 5 years ago. I remember multiple outages keeping us from pulling code for go packages that were not using an enterprise dependency cache and killing multiple da

Sorceforge predates git by about 11 years. As do several other projects like google code. Its not a new idea. Or basically most source control systems. Git, actually, is the more unique idea, of a DVCS... versus a cVCS...

I tell my Mentees one of the greatest skills is getting good at not being good at something. Being comfortable being uncomfortable.

it's literally the hello world of micros. get an arduino, plug it into the usb, install the ide, new -> example -> 01. Blink. Press Run. Cool you have now blunk a led. Now use AI to draw the rest of the owl.

good news, now you can use all that dram you can't afford to vibe code an arduino program. Think of the savings and the learnings!

Each line gets me over 50gb. I'm assuming your not doing much in those apps. Fusion is not free cad and is a hog. So is kicad. The language server for many things I work on sits at 28gb per copy.. I work for twitch, our code base is no
