I don’t agree that choosing to host a website without limiting the audience is innocent. It’s a choice, and has been the default for a long time, but it means one has chosen to speak outside the borders of their own country and that comes w

Isn’t compliance just as easy as asking where the visitor is from (or more specifically if they are from or in the UK), perhaps even just once per IP they visit the site from? Yes, they may lie, but that’s their problem not the site operato

Could not agree more, and that is a problem I’m happy to be working on with my startup.

I love the idea but I fear the implementation. I don’t use GitHub actions for builds and upload ancillary artifacts to releases. I guess I know what will be my distraction today.

Fair. But there are legions of developers blindly doing REST over HTTP and creating bad experiences. I know it's fine for many, many cases -- but not all.

But QUIC is another case of "one size fits all" reliability and ordering (etc.) that doesn't allow a great deal of flexibility.

This video walkthrough of the Quake netcode shows some of the brilliance that can be applied over UDP, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8J7fidxC8s

Sadly, that's almost an expected way of writing online content now. I'll do better next time!

Author here, and I don't really like it that much either. The problem is finding some new way to pose it so the only content out there isn't misleadingly trite.

Author here. I've been called a "robot" in the past so perhaps my writing reflects that, but yes there was some autocomplete involved here.

That’s some old ice, but I can’t help wonder if being “near” the surface reduces its value as evidence. Naively, it seems that deeper would mean better preserved. Also, kudos to the researches for enduring what has to be a tough place to do

IIRC the cost of Starlink for ships is actually very high. Starts at $5k per month for a commercial vessel I think. Can’t imagine what it is for a passenger ship, but Musk is making his money to be sure.

True for certs but not the log bucket (but it’s still going to be in a single region, just doesn’t have to be Virginia). I’m guessing those certs are cached where needed, but I can also imagine a perfect storm where I’m unable to rotate the

There is always more than a way to do things with AWS. But CloudFront Origin groups can’t use HTTP POST. They’re limited to read requests. Without origin groups you opt-out of some resiliency. IMHO that’s a bad trade-off. To each their own.

This is the time to accept that the path forward is keeping people and giving them the best tools you possibly can to do their work. That is, the same as has been true for decades remains so. Yes, development tools are better every day. Ye

Just config information, not really much customer data. Customer data stays in their own AWS accounts with our service. All we hold is the ARNs of the resources serving as destinations. We’ve gone to great lengths to minimize the amount of

Our stacks in us-east-1 stopped getting traffic when the errors started and we’ve kept them out of service for now, so those tables aren’t being used. When we manually checked around noon (Pacific) they were fine (data matched) but we may h

Yeah, it's not clear how resilient CloudFront is but it seems good. Since content is copied to the points of presence and cached it's the lightly used stuff that can break (we don't do writes through CloudFront, which in IMHO

We use AWS for keys and certs, with aliases for keys so they resolve properly to the specific resources in each region. For any given HTTP endpoint there is a cert that is part of a the stack in that region (different regions use different

The data layer is DynamoDB with Global Tables providing replication between regions, so we can write to any region. It's not easy to get this right, but our use case is narrow enough and rate of change low enought (intentionally) that

Cool, building in resilience seems to have worked. Our static site has origins in multiple regions via CloudFront and didn’t seem to be impacted (not sure if it would have been anyway). My control plane is native multi-region, so while it d

These are the RFCs we know, and many others we don’t. The ones “lost” to obscurity generally deserve the fate but I enjoy reading them for the historical context. Fascinating stuff.

Given the use case I’d consider IGrouping<PhoneType,Product>. My point being LINQ is a wide subject and most code I see barely touches the surface.

It’s multi stream, reliable connections. WireGuard’s encryption over UDP is none of those things. WireGuard encryption is simpler and far more flexible, but also less capable.

I haven’t tinkered with an FPGA in years but this has my curiosity up. I’d love to separate the protocol handling from the routing and see how light (small of an FPGA, power efficiency) it could be made. The routing isn’t interesting to me
