During the summer humans would have gorged on fruit while it was available, as well as ultimately learning to preserve and store it for later. Today that urge does us injustice in the form of 1200 calorie Starbucks at every corner.

Totally true, but it’s interesting that this technology lends itself to incremental improvements. And those improvements can be driven both from the hardware side and the software side. It seems like a virtuous cycle driving this to economi

With API Gateway the resource has a formulaic domain name, but in Route53 that is hidden because you're creating an "alias" record. I'm not sure the same thing would apply to Lambda URLs. It's not exactly what I&#x

Indeed. As another example, I deploy regional API Gateways for "same region" access to service stacks and then tie them into the "global" service using Route53 latency based routing records (one per region). It works ni

The amount of duplication in `main.tf` (copy/pasta for each region) is shocking, but I'm not a Terraform user -- is that normal? It also seems problematic for re-use since not all accounts have those regions enabled. Perhaps usi

Since no one else did, I’ll say it: you may not be exceptional for your technical skills (or maybe you are), but your work ethic and fortitude. It takes a broad set of skills to make up a high performing team, and you possess some important

This seems like a tough problem to solve, but given the article states 75% of researchers are _willing_ to publish the null results at least that's something to build on. Making publishing compulsory could lead to other, worse problem

If we’re going to be realistic about it, then maybe we should take that $1m RSU grant down a notch or two. Those are extremely, extremely rare. The typical numbers are far lower than that, and if you’ve been there, you know it’s true. That

To each their own. Comparing startup options to mature company RSUs is apples to oranges, and a retelling of the basic trade off between risk and reward. Upside, downside, taxes et. al. combine to inform individual decisions. Both paths ha

Are you counting the $1m in options as compensation? If so, plenty of startups will offer you that.

It seems pretty obvious that messing with a substantial source of oxygen could be far more dangerous to our collective continuity than adding carbon dioxide, or is that not so?

What’s your wisened prognosis on studying Geophysics or Genetic Immunology?

About half the PhDs I know have families and are happy with their career choice (challenging and rewarding work). You’re casting unfounded judgement IMHO.

Ditto. I have some not-small systems based on s3, lambda, SNS and SQS that have been running for years without issue - just quietly, and inexpensively doing their jobs. New stuff I’m building is putting StepFunctions in rather than Lambda i

That seems to be the finding here though there is very little to go on in the article. Were the high income people not wealthy or a mix? Were the wealthy people high income, higher income or lower income? Living paycheck to paycheck is like

I noticed the same hyperbole. I've never made extremely high or low wages; been within one standard deviation from the role mean for decades.

Indeed. There is so much more going on and not going on than is apparent in these (apologies to the author, but I think this is accurate) long but simplistic takes. Hearsay and arbitrary correlations are great conversation fodder but I wo

It's still a security problem. If you put an unlocked outside door on your house and rely on the interior doors to be locked, we'd agree that's not safe, right? Or to keep it safe would require the kind of uniform attentiven

As another person with low working memory (but decent long term memory) I can posit things aren’t that simple. Working memory has to be wired for recall, and my guess is that wiring may be different from what connects to longer term persist

I would love to attend a systems-oriented meetup in Portland, and would be willing to organize/operate it though I’m quite bad at that kind of thing.

To be clear, what I meant is starting with mTLS and asking “how would that work?” leads in the direction of Passkeys. With mTLS there are client and server certs and keys to establish unambiguous identity, but how do they get on the persona

The missing piece in this and similar arguments is the miracle that we have before us. It is unfathomably wonderful that we have the breadth of technology (including software) that we do given where we’ve come from. As with everything we’ve

When I first started doing web programming I built an “asynchronous HTTP” thing that shuffled requests from a public facing server to SQS, and read respond from another SQS. The idea was keeping applications and their data very isolated fr

That is an impressive number of requests to “burn-in” the new code. It seems odd to me that TCP is used between layers (implied by “connections”) — I’d reach for UDP first and deal with loss directly.

Sorry, correction — SailGP boats hit 90+ km/h while the Americas Cup boats are a bit below that for now (75-80 km/h, IIRC).
