Modern sailing is an incredible departure from the traditional. The technology has come so far that when I watch an Americas Cup trifoil float above the waves (on two legs), turn on a dime and race away at 90km/h I can’t help but think

I've heard this use case come up in hybrid new/legacy products where there is a chasm between legacy scalability (probably a monolith in the compute or storage layer, or both). The "new" side needs to be able to self-re

Not just cheap per message, but queues themselves are free so there is zero “reserved” cost - it’s pay per message. Add to that, it’s enormously scalable in terms of throughput and retained messages. And it’s globally available. A single fi

IMHO labeling people “incompetent” is a bright orange flag. Sometimes it is true, but far more often it’s a genuine lack of respect.

Likewise, plenty of people who care about the customers and their coworkers as well. Collaboration with such a teams is where it’s at. In my experience such situations are transitory though and a time comes to move on (gracefully and mainta

Define “free fall”, please. There seem to be plenty of interesting openings as far as I can tell. Less hysterical hiring, but plenty of work (and more interesting than the endless CRUD of 15 years ago).

CloudFormation templates and some simple bash scripts run via CodeBuild. Simple, flexible, reliable and well supported. I’m deployment global (multi-homes) serverless stacks, mainly. IAM, DynamoDB, S3, Lambda, Step Functions and the like. I

If the container has any dependencies, and they change, a lack of change quickly becomes an escalating liability. I’ve heard the “fixed is reliable” arguments for decades and have never seen anything that would justify the widespread failur

I understand the point. It’s one in a long line of such enabling tech — all leading to the same outcome.

Not untrue, but also not true. It isn’t a Lambda problem, It’s the problem of running the same old, same old code on lambda. Running clusters of VM/container/instances to “scale up” to transient demand but leaving largely idle (a

Help me understand how this could possibly result in a healthier SDLC. Great, it is possible to run the same container on all these services (and probably more given the usual quip about the 50 ways to run a container on AWS). And, I can se

Don’t underestimate the power of ego and national pride. Shinning a light on the foibles of nations is generally very effective, for good or not. It’s clear from the images so far that there are local hotspots, and those areas aren’t incapa

And the seller can say “no” as well. It’s a scary proposition for old hats, but I’ve only ever seen it make a small number of buyers frustrated with the lack of special treatment (but buy the product anyway, and in all but one case turn our

I read your comment as saying that SSO is denied to “regular” (non-enterprise) customers because enterprise customers would buy the regular product if it was included there, thus pointing out that all the other “enterprise” needs (terms, et

FWIW, I’ve decided to let folks go for failing to act in good faith, and for failing (or unwillingness) to learn from mistakes. That’s it. I admire the folks who have such quality KPIs. And, yes, I’ve been forced to deal with others’ decisi

The previous flight of employees from this part of WF due to unethical activity might suggest those remaining made a choice (perhaps a difficult one, unless they were oblivious). In a situation where someone stayed because they really neede

Yes, but then again there doesn't seem to be any Danish restriction on Fugu (pufferfish). Hard to see how this isn't a subjective policy (which is fine, but call it what it is).

I know someone who considers canned tomatoes too spicy. But labeling the products as “poison” seems a bit of a stretch in any context.

In the context of YC and HN the question might be “Does having a safe API open any doors as a differentiated feature?” In my past SOC-2 was such a thing (now an expectation), and it feels like problems with data integrity are more frequent

Ask HN: Would you (do you) use an unsafe HTTP API?

I understand, but given the dramatic change I'd expect some things to "bend" a little. Perhaps literally, like solar flares? Does "holding them closer" increase/decrease surface temperature?

I wonder what effect this would have had on the sun itself — not like blowing in a fire, apparently.
