CarPlay mostly works, and although it has issues it's definitely user-focused. CarPlay doesn't prevent car makers from tracking vehicle activity. In the end, consumers don't give a shit about the in-vehicle infotainment. It s

My dad's 82 has an IPP 12.9, iPhone 12 Pro Max, and a Macbook Air. Over time, the MBA usage has dropped off, and is mainly used for financial sites that don't play well with Safari/iPadOS. The only real issue he has is printi

This is why I said to stuff the UDP requests into SQS and have the backend read off the queue. If the requirements are impossible, change the requirements.

If you're caching 20m api requests that almost never change use s3. I mean heck, it's cheaper, can be cdn'd, and can be pipelined by the browser.

I don't think anyone who can do it has enough free time to do it. It'd be fun, but I'd rather be figuring out how to make box joints on my table saw. I do want to see how the solution code handles IPv6 client ingress issues,

NAT makes this a bit more complicated because you can't use a load balancer with NAT for outgoing packets since AFAIK you can't send stuff to the LB and tell it what source port to use. IPv6 makes it easier and harder. I'm no

In the NAT case just keep a list of the active UDP receivers and client IPs/source ports (which you need anyway). Then when the backend processor needs to send a response just sent it to the receiver in question to send back to the cli

Well actually NAT on the client side might make this more complicated.

The UDP part is hard because load balancers generally don't deal with UDP. And you can't trigger lambdas via udp (i'd have to check this, because i've never tried). Sending the http request is easy, stuff incoming reques

TLS libraries by default don't have this behavior. It's been years since I read the TLS spec, but a host wildcard like this isn't normally possible, since it bypasses host verification completely. And the CA verification bypa

One side effect of the network switch was that you needed to buy switches. With the old way everyone could be on one wire. With the new way you needed one port per host. Switches also allowed for centralized management. Note that cable work

Someone set up the breakers incorrectly way back when, and they were never adjusted. I'll bet it's not possible to adjust those without powering off the downstream equipment. It reminds me of the amazon guy discovering that there

Recursion in production code is bad news, because you can't control the depth of your call tree. At some point you will crash because the runtime won't be able to allocate any more stack. And you can't preflight it because if

No system is safe from bad actors. The only way to armor yourself is to have consistent policies. Would this have happened if there were code reviews and testing? Consistency is key. At my workplace we routinely bypass branch protections, b

I still don't understand why people believe that abstracting away something as important as your data store is a good idea. They quickly run into performance problems that are quite difficult to fix. It's funny that the same devel
