The article mentions that us-east-1 is the largest region. That's not the only reason why its failure would be so catastrophic. It is the original AWS region and a snowflake among regions. That in itself doesn't have a clear direc

To expand on the brief title > Google [...] says the SRE model [...] does not scale with microservices. Instead, they go on to describe a more tractable, framework-oriented model to address this through things like codified best practice

The anti-pattern here is applying DRY to text rather than intents. The identical text may appear in a different source file with a different intent, say a tax calculation for a region. It may very well be that two regions have the same fo

This page should definitely have a "end of free public updates" column as is shown on the "Java version history"[0] page, so it's clear updates stop much sooner than the LTS. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org&

Small suggestion: The 'docs' link in the README should link directly to /docs rather than a place that shows less than where I came from. Reading through the docs I was wondering 'why' as mentioned in another commen

I'm surprised in that lengthy post there was no mention of that condition where certain limbs feel like they are not part of 'you' but rather feel like alien things attached to you. Also as you mention 'healthy' is

The Java implementation of checked exceptions suffers from the scalability issue as described. As long as each consumed package wraps its dependencies checked exceptions into not too many kinds this could be workable. In practice though t

'heavily developed' is the operative consideration as this means upgrading (not merely updating) your Java installations every 6 months.

One of the great ways of avoiding bugs is to make invalid states unrepresentable. An easy win is to use sum types for the various different flavours of a valid input parameter. The verbosity of having to manually create classes, wrap/u

Perhaps that's their stance on competing software, but certainly not competing hardware. I recall an internal memo that had to do with intentionally being poorly compatible with other brands in implementing standards so that it could b

That actually makes sense to me now. It's about knowing what matters when. Code smells is sort of there, but people tend to get dogmatic when invoking them. It's about having a sense of when something is 'too much', or t

Yes, but how is that different than if the software integrated with the sensor built into the hardware, like when 1Password uses the laptop's fingerprint reader?

My favorite way when I'm not up to doing something is to merely prepare an environment for the thing I'm not going to do right now in the simplest ways. Create a new empty directory not even thinking about its name. CD into it, le

What I think it really suffers from is that the buyer isn't Apple's target audience, it's the person watching the person using an Apple product. Second is Apple (well actually the first is to serve Apple too). This skews prio

I don't even understand the threat model for this, and why it's better than the fingerprint sensor built into the laptop. Seems like it's just writing the software elsewhere. What's up with the micro Yubikeys always left

That sounds like the easiest way to implement it. Giving ownership to threads and scheduling coroutines on them is unnecessarily complicated, given that a single coroutine can only be running on one thread at a time.

The title should include "multi-threading" with "tiny binaries" also being of interest. Merely TS with borrow-checker makes no sense at all (or makes for good click-bait--it got me :-)

It's all Apple. The problem was that the hardware was released before it (including compatibility with the available software) was ready. It's a hardware release problem. The software that was released before the hardware was fine
