Not really, no. In fact the only significant difference (that the Lambda@Edge function is run at the closest geolocation to the client, rather than on the origin server) is an advantage to Lambda@Edge. What difference are you alluding to?

Ah, I remember the terrible coworker who shared this in work-chat within a week or so of being hired. Somehow he stuck around for a couple of years despite continued terribleness (of both the "HR-related" and the "actually-do

Honestly, the linked article about NFTs in Video Games was what really helped me with my articulation. It's long, but I really recommend it. The situation makes me sad, because I think that Web3/NFTs/etc. are some really inte

I'm not the person that you responses to, but Home Assistant offers most of the automation capabilities that the Alexa platform does. I haven't yet looked into the speech-to-text interface alternatives described here: https:&#x2F

Same. Arguably there's strong crossover, though - mindful consumption would be both antimimetic and antimemetic.

True, but irrelevant to the conversation at hand. And also ironic, given that most HNers decry smart TVs and yearn for a return to "just a screen", without apps (including file managers).

Doesn't this presuppose that there exists a single canonical way to order the credits, rather than them being reordered per-project? Perhaps the Lighting Electrician role in Love Hard was less impactful than in Black Is King, leading t

It does sound like you've had slightly-more-than-average bad luck (I had some similar problems occasionally when I had Kodi on an RPi3, but it's been flawless for a year or so after I upgraded to RPi4), but you're certainly n

Oh - fair enough. I tend to treat all marketing/advertizing copy as a (not even necessarily close) approximation of the actual specs, anyway, so the fact that the tagline isn't borne out by the actual implementation didn't ev

I don't see anything objectionable in here. What do you take issue with? There's always an onus on customers to ensure that the service being provided will actually meets their needs.

Your instinct is right, and in hindsight that's easy to say. Practically speaking, however, "treated accordingly" generally means "do not execute this string as a command (or pass it to anything that might do so, like a

Ah, I see - I misread and got the impression that `cloudflared` could only connect to Kubernetes pods, but I see from reading the docs[1] that it can connect to traditional apps-on-ports as well. I'll have a poke around - thanks again!

Thank you for a great article! I recently took the plunge of building-and-hosting a blog too - but, due to security concerns, I took the entirely opposite approach of making it fully cloud-based (Git repos for infra and for content -> AW
