Although my experience is with the AWS equivalent, me too--absolutely. Good luck keeping your comment visible here by suggesting "serverless" in a thread called "Happiness is a Boring Stack."

Right, but some stacks are better suited for tools that reduce or eliminate those headaches. A Windows stack introduces hard requirements for some of those headaches.

Yep. Sorry--my original point is getting derailed. I was responding to someone suggesting that it's ridiculous to take into account things like backups and security because those things are necessary on any platform. The comparison was

No, the point is relative to being containerized, where you're deciding ahead of time what needs to be backed up (outside the container) and what doesn't. This leads to backups and restores being easier and more "boring.&quot

It's a great point--it just seems arbitrary to draw the line in the sand of having a "boring stack" that consists of SQL Server and C#. I mean, that, as a minimum, means you're running and maintaining a Windows server, a

It might be just that Reddit is still fairly young and doesn't have a lot of employees. Maybe they want to add features like "showing number of unread comments since last visit" or "better ad management system." Whe

Some of the best rated non-Apple mice have charging docks. These also prohibit usage while charging.

Imagine this potential future with me. At first, it's just Amex. Then, to remain competitive, other major card vendors do something similar. Most of us (developers) still use something like Stripe for simplicity, but libraries start po

Certainly, although that's bound to happen with anything that offers easy scaling. If you put your build artifacts on S3, it just works... all the way up into petabytes. You skip all the intermediate steps you'd otherwise have (li

Oh they make a difference. Young white heterosexual males are now even better to hire than before because you can fire them without the risk of a lawsuit if things go sour. There's no risk! We get our foot in the door easier than ever!

You're right. There is a clear and accurate alternative in this case. What about for a serverless architecture?

Me, too. And "driverless cars," also. There is a driver! It's just in software! The car's still got something driving it. It's just not a person! People tell me, "Dude, that's pedantic. Clearly what people

Using IAM roles for EC2 is far and away better than what beginners would otherwise do, which is create a set of permanent credentials and deploy it everywhere.

Why is a random developer (out of millions who have not had this issue) immediately trustworthy, while Apple (who has no financial interest in banning him) is assumed to be untrustworthy?

It was to give him an "out" to resolve the issue in a way that's positive to both of them. He didn't have to write a PR blog post. He just had to state the facts: His account was linked to one involved in fraudulent acti

What mistake did Apple make?! Is everyone here taking the developer's word at face value? Despite him giving no reason to do so?

Where did you hear the entire call? I only heard the part on his blog that clearly didn't start at the beginning. Apple didn't notify both accounts because they're under no obligation to notify someone that they're commi

You're reading into this too much. If this were happening all the time and people were raising concerns left and right, then yes--it'd indicate this was caught by an automated system that makes big assumptions. That's not the

It's also very possible that the developer is not telling the whole story. It's not like Apple does this kind of thing every day and their statement is fairly clear. They also likely have additional information, like the IP addres

We can impose salary caps--it just means that the people who are really good at this stuff will play in a different league. If there were another NBA where LeBron would make 10x his salary, he'd play in it. All the best players would.
