Is the code open source anywhere?

I don't know what Amazon will do now or at any point in the future if I were to do a charge-back or any else they don't agree with. I imagine they could easily link my accounts together. Payee names, IPs, logging out of one accoun

Nope. The latest seller reviews has 80 other people that also received fake tracking in the last 30 days. Amazon's response is that they asked the seller to prove they shipped it or refunded me. That was 2 weeks ago and apparently Amaz

And to top it off theres no support channel or humans in the process to "appeal" their decision. The only luck you have is being semi-famous enough to get your experience in the headlines before an exec lets you back in.

Exactly. I am an amazon affiliate and use other amazon services as my business. The bridge has been burned for me as a consumer to continue shopping with them personally or with my business, but it's too risky to upset the beast if tha

Its ironic as well because the customer service agents kept saying if this was an Amazon purchase they would have refunded me. Kept reassuring me that this wouldn't have been an issue if you purchased with us, we would have taken care

That is what I am really concerned with. Some automatic process that will ban me if I try and fight their system. The only way out is to make enough noise on social media that someone in corporate makes a policy exception.

I am currently caught up in an amazon scam. The third party seller listed items, put in fake shipping, item never arrived. It's been over a month and I am still fighting amazon to get my money back. They have an "A to Z guarantee&

So meta haha. How much have you needed in production? According to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/guide/current/... they say its counterproductive to use less then 8 GB but maybe you

Doesn't elastic search require a decent size server just to run with no data? Curious about the costs of running elastic search for a small number of documents compared to the low cost of running django. For example the frontend could

What was interesting to me is the search ID, https://www.serverhunter.com/?search=157-857-0B2 for example. Each change results in a new search ID. If you toggle the same option on and off, the search ID is different every t

Is there a TLDR version to tide me over in the meantime?

Is there a tech writeup on how the site was built? What software is behind the faceted search? The site and search experience is fast and I'd love to learn more about how it was built.

They are still open source right? Or does having a commercial version invalidate what they have open sourced?

The website and twitter account appear offline. Is there more information about the technology somewhere?

Would it be possible to write some pseudocode on how you converted some of your code? I am trying to avoid some "magic" as well but not certain how to handle some of these dependencies.

That is very interesting. I am guessing this is a closed source application? Did you do something along the lines of CQRS (Command, Query part) or just write directly the event source? At what point did appending to log file stop working wh

My current thought process is you use a relational db like postgres with json support to go from hobby / early startup to traction where you would need to start being concerned with scaling. At that point you switch to kafka or related

That is actually the post that got me into event sourcing / streams. As far as user analytic type events go this makes complete sense to me. What I haven't been able to discern is whether its useful to use this architecture on a m

by pheeney 11y ago
I wish they went more in-depth into the particular events. They seem to imply the events are user actions, which I took to mean user played this song, user viewed this playlist, and other analytics. However do they, or would you, use a syst
