To be fair, that entire traceroute never touches "the Internet". Everything after hop 6 is inside Google's backbone network, and everything before hop 7 is inside Linode/Akamai.

codecrafters (YC S22, http://codecrafters.io ) has a new module called "Building Your Own Interpreter" that works its way through this book. It's great because you work in small chunks, each of which has unit tests

They don't use AWS to run the big three apps (FB, Insta, WhatsApp). They very much use them for other things. FB data center machines tend to be highly-specialized and optimized for running the apps, not general-purpose compute.

Couple of reasons: Meta's annual spend with AWS is large enough that they'll have a negotiated blanket discount that takes a fixed percentage off the top of their monthly spend. This is very common for larger AWS customers, not j

It probably also helps that a large portion of the Google Maps UI is developed in the Tokyo office.

The Metaverse engineers and AI researchers don't actually run the infrastructure, but by all means, keep shitposting. It's so clever.

There's definitely automated degradation at smaller scale ("if $random_feature's backend times out, don't show it", etc.). The manual part of Defcon is more "holy crap, we lost a datacenter and the whole site i

pro tip: at CVS (and probably elsewhere), <local-area-code>-867-5309 will come back as a valid customer. Better than simply refusing because in many cases you will get a discounted price on some items as a "member"

I assume you refuse to use gcc, emacs, etc. because of their creator, refuse to use JavaScript anywhere on the web, never take an Uber etc.? Or is it just the cases where it's convenient to virtue signal? I also find it ironic that you

This isn't Reddit. Can we not use offensive terms like "cucked" in technical discussions?

Unfortunately, the StreamDeck doesn't emulate a standard USB HID device, so it needs a driver running in the background to detect button presses and do things like generate keystrokes or call Keyboard Maestro macros. There's strea

Keyboard Maestro is fantastic, and it's even better when combined with an Elgato StreamDeck. There's great integration for "run this KM macro" directly from a button (without eating up a keyboard shortcut), so I have 32
