How many users wound up losing data because of that bug? In comparison, how many houses were lost to fire today?

The odds of you losing your hard drive and flash drive in a house fire are significantly higher than the odds of you losing data on S3.

The easiest thing to do on AWS is just fire off a CloudWatch event. When your Lambda function gets updated, or even on a set schedule, you can invoke your function with whatever arguments you need. Presumably you could cook in a method that

I don't understand the pricing model. 800 new connections per hour, for $0.006? Isn't that extremely expensive? 80,000 connections for $0.60 in an hour is $432 per month for not a whole lot of traffic. edit: Okay, it's 800 n

There's a difference-- point-to-point encryption is what you're talking about. Anytime a message is transferred, it's done via TLS, but you can't be guaranteed that at any one point the message is kept encrypted. You can

And let's be perfectly clear, EV certs are basically a moneygrab by CAs trying to provide some kind of value-add. It used to be that ecommerce sites would have to get an EV cert, now with Chrome desktop showing "Secure" in th

The ClamAV dependency concerns me; messages can only be passed to clamd via a plaintext stream. This seems to be at odds with the end-to-end encryption.

Dismissing CouchDB because it only supports pre-sharding is extremely shortsighted. It takes very little time to replicate from one db with 2 shards to another db with 3 shards, even on N nodes. Copying the *.couch files is the absolute w

The reason I don't like the internal-int-external-UUID strategy is that all of your queries now require an extra join. It's no longer "select microblog.* where userid = ?" now it's "select microblog.*,user.id

Volume is a percentage, and a very analog control. The idea that you would have to have a round knob to twist on a computer screen is ridiculous, almost like some imaginary need for a specific shutter button to press to take a photo on a ph

In reality my function would rarely exist in the Scala world since having a weakly-typed return like that is cringeworthy to say the least. But it's better to see this in action with Scala options. val myOptionalVar: Option[String]

This will be huge for getting Scala running on AWS Lambda. The cold-start times for JVM apps is just ridiculous and makes Lambda/API gateway essentially unusable for anything written on the JVM.

Sun tried that, back in the day. Maybe you heard about Java applets, maybe you didn't. They were the slowest thing about the web, insecure even with a sandbox, and just an overall pain. Short of having a jvm always running on your mach
