You can hit the same problems horizontally scaling compute. One instance reads from the DB, a request hits a different instance which updates the DB. The original instance writes to the DB and overwrites the changes or makes decisions based

I know how it works. I know how it doesn't. In the context of jurisdiction within a state in the U.S., I don't think it's accurate or reliable enough when taking mobile phones into account. Country-level is much more accurate

It's really a tradeoff of saving time by paying more money. A lot of people chose it when they'd rather not pay more money and end up unhappy A lot of other people also pick it for very narrow use cases where it wouldn't have

Depending on the content and software stack, caching might be a fairly easy option. For instance, Wordpress W3 Total Cache used to be pretty easy to configure and could easily bring a small VPS from 6-10req/sec to 100-200req/sec.

It makes a difference if there's 143,000 unique IPs and 286,000 requests. I think that's what the parent post is saying (lots of requests but also not very many per IP since there's also lots of IPs) Even harder with IPv6 con

Really high bandwidth costs in general. I've never worked anywhere large enough to hit them, but I've heard inter-AZ traffic in the same region can become quite expensive once you're big enough

IPs aren't necessarily even geolocatable. Sometimes they are, sometimes AT&T Mobile routes you six states over and exits through a CGNAT IP

I wouldn't underestimate 12 year olds. It's not hard to find an online community (chatroom/message board) where other members post this stuff. It's also pretty trivial to wrap in an app Source, I was setting up home prox

Irony being trusting random VPN providers and arbitrary foreign (exit) countries potentially makes security _worse_ than without the VPN

Holding out for government IdP that can return verified but anonymous data (like age)--like a JWT that has no identifier besides an age claim. Seems highly unlikely it would ever happen (at least in the U.S.) but seems like it'd solve

They regurgitate what they're trained on so they're largely consensus based. However, the consensus can be frequently wrong--especially when the information is outdated Someone with the ability to "think" should be able

>The only way to use a tool like this is to give a problem that fits context Or give context to the model which fits the problem. That's more of an art than a science at this point it seems I think people with better success are tho

If it's AWS, yes it's true. All the billing is async and some as slow as daily (although it can be very granular/accurate). In addition, it's a pay-per-use platform

They already do have a pretty robust software stack that goes all the way to code/analytics libraries. I'm not sure on the current state of things but ~2020 they were automatically testing chip designs for performance regressions

I talked to someone at Nvidia ~2019 or ~2020 and their plan at the time was to completely vertically integrate and sell compute as a service via their own managed data centers with their own software, drivers, firmware, and hardware so this

For Grafana graphs, I think there's a graph library feature that solves that problem but it's been a couple years since I seriously used Grafana so don't remember the specifics As for forecasting/trends, usually that&#x2

That's really a problem with all of them (generating too much data which ends up being expensive) but defaults definitely could have been better/more clear there

Sure, but you would have had to do that anyway if you didn't pick those RDBMS and rolled your own storage. Luckily there's established patterns for key management and access control.

>Does anyone want AI in anything? Well, yes. It's extremely useful. However, the hype bubble means it's getting added everywhere even when there's not a clear and vetted use case. It works really well for navigating docs a

Python isn't too bad if you swap in orjson instead of stdlib which is quite a bit slower Wrangling multiprocess is still annoying tho

Datadog log ingest isn't too expensive which will still enrich the logs and can dump to S3 (log archive) where you can use Athena/Trino Log indexing is $$$, though for sure Curious on Loki cost. When I priced out ELK at a smaller

Both have options for column/field level encryption Besides that, you can encrypt in the app regardless of the data storage

Our bigger issue is SaaS like CircleCI and Quay also being in us-east-1. We have a working DR strategy (albeit about a 4-6 hour exercise) to switch regions but a lot of 3rd party dependencies are tied to us-east-1 It's a bit of a circu
