It's not an official AWS offering, but there is this project that can automatically add EIPs to VPC-attached Lambda functions for you. Then you don't need the NAT gateway. https://github.com/glassechidna/lambd

Given that we're talking about ALBs with Lambda targets, their limit is actually quite a bit lower than API Gateway: 1MB https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/appl...

That's an interesting comment. I loved Starcraft as a kid. Played many hours every day. I'm now 33 and never got into Starcraft 2. Nowadays the idea is utterly unappealing. I just play the occasional Call of Duty Warzone (similar

Maybe this is an ideal use case for a bloom filter. The answer to the question "is user X blocked?" is almost always going to be "no". And the "maybe" cases can consult the actual block list. How exciting. I&#x

You'd be surprised. Motorcyclists make up a substantial fraction of all organ donors in the USA. Fatal crashes for motorcyclists are usually the result of traumatic brain injury while leaving the rest of the body intact -- the ideal sc

What's the distinction? I always assumed "blue states" meant a majority of voters in that state voted blue, likewise for red states. Otherwise you might as well say "there's no blue cities, only blue neighbourhoods&

Just to clarify for others (you probably already know this), the GPL is only an issue if you distribute the binaries for your code. If it's e.g. a typical SaaS then the GPL isn't nearly as scary. The AGPL is problematic in that

That seems like an over-reaction: you really haven't trusted a single word from any official because of one official being misleading?

How do you feel about the approach being taken in Victoria, Australia? It's been legal in licensed settings for quite a while, but they're now changing to make it legal in more situations in response to requests from solo sex work

Is that build tag necessary? I should check out what it does, because I've been deploying Go functions to custom runtimes without it. Does it skip some kind of "determine if Go-specific RPC or custom runtime" check? EDIT: I f

I was fine with all of it except the domestic violence jokes. Those weren’t funny enough to warrant the topic.

To clarify: you’re ok with the words “man” and “woman”, but not “he”, “him”, “she” and “her”? I think you need to work on that, because you seem to be projecting a lot for something that really doesn’t matter.

Us too. I found it super useful because I have lots of Chinese coworkers and I have no idea whether to use “he” or “she” based on their name. Edit: I didn’t see the last bit. Why did it factor into leaving? Were they aggressive about it or

I think it depends very much on what your product does. E.g. in your case (games) bandwidth is a big deal. The last three companies I've worked at have all had AWS bills of more than $10M/yr and data egress costs were never more t

It's a surprisingly fantastic language. In my opinion, it's the perfect language. But here are some issues in my eyes: * The community is tiny. A rounding error compared to Go, Rust, etc. * The core team of contributors is even sm

This raises something I've wondered for a while: is there a service or database that can give an indication of how many humans are behind a particular IP address? e.g. with CGNAT, there might be many thousands of people sharing a singl

I agree that there will likely be exceptions, but long-haul isn't one of them. The trucking industry is already subject to a lot of regulations around mandatory rest stops, so there are well-established break points along every major l

I just looked into it now. As of 2018, apparent 38% of Americans are obese and 28% of Australians. So it's probably a difference that _does_ factor into costs, but I wouldn't know how much.

Australia being an island has little bearing on this. It's not like the Covid situation in the USA is because of infected people crossing the border illegally: it happened because of legal travel. Trump's so-called China ban was a
