So there’s an argument that the future deployment model is actually Kubernetes Operators, which means you could have test code that deploys and sets up AWS APIs... thus if your code responds to the trigger, it’s up to another bit of code to

Unless I’be misunderstood, every knock against serverless above has actually been a knock against the complexity of having tiny, de-coupled cloud native services and how difficult it can be to mock... to which the answer is often “don’t moc

In Amazon’s defence, the item sold should have been packaged better by the original seller. A number of my recent Amazon purchases have arrived in original boxes/packaging. And Amazon in Canada does not stock or sell food items at comp

I think you’ve misunderstood my points in your second paragraph. I’m only suggesting a captive audience as in “those browsing to buy on Apple.com what is compatible with their iPhone/iPad/Mac/etc.” And the exact opposite infe

I thought it was an appropriate description. I did not read any “menace” or “treachery” into the use of the word “quiet”. The rest of the article mentions that new headphones are on the way according to rumour, that only Logitech’s headphon

This isn’t a new problem. Before every phone had a speakerphone option, it was easy to put down the handset of your landline phone while waiting on hold and just check in every once in awhile. Same is true of online chat-based support. Also

The Verge backed it up in their article. It’s unclear who’s in the (virtual?) courtroom or how they sourced this info, but it kind of makes sense. Courts aren’t well-known for publishing courtroom activities in real-time and online (Zoom) t

That’s great if it works. I’ve yet to see a tool give me the same diagram layout I as a human can work out in roughly 20 minutes of trial and error. Not to say tools with auto layout aren’t helpful, but most of the diagram DSLs I’ve used ha

Lexical nesting? While I agree with the statement you’re making — that reading code requires you to understand more about what the code means, in that context/runtime, I also think the example you’re picking apart reminds me of the dan

Oh. In Canada it’s only 50 years. Well, I guess we’ll have to wait until 2024 then. Unless maybe it was published locally in one of those countries like Canada with a shorter term.... but that seems doubtful given the limited availability i

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard of this book, but I am absolutely shocked that nobody has posted it online in any of the usual places given its Wikipedia entry. I had hoped that External Links would point me to a copy. Apparently, acco

Rust doesn't have the stability yet that has been a bit of a double-edged sword for Go. And it's taken 5 years for Rust to get as far as it has. I'll be much more interested in using Rust in production when there's more

It's funny, if you'd asked me almost a decade ago which language would compete with Go, I would not have answered "JavaScript"! Yet, these days I find that's the trade-off: build something "quick" in TypeS

Username and password doesn’t inherently have an HMAC+timestamp, so it has to be kept alongside payments. A certificate could be a one-time transaction, so the payment could be logged while the certificate is issued, the only worry after is

Last I checked, I think “DNS Security” (DoH) was shipped in Chrome, you can pick an alternative in Settings, I think. Such as, in this case, Google. Not sure if that changes the way this nxdomain check behaves, presumably Chrome trusts TLS
