Pretty hard to imagine Amazon destroying the most profitable part of their business by doing something as stupid and illegal as that. But I can see why a company might still hold reservations nonetheless.

Yes but Targets contribution is hardly going to make that big a difference. OTOH the cost of moving cloud providers, if significant, is going to be an additional operational expense that would make them less competitive. It's like Appl

If they are just doing this out of spite it is so silly. Do they think Amazon is going to go broke now and pull out of retail? If they are paying more to another provider, they are making themselves less competitive in contrast to Amazon,

It was a business process improvement startup, not a Django startup. And he implied their product was on mobile devices so may not have involved Django at all.

Try and shift sideways. Ask to work in a different team with different languages, maybe devops or administration. Sometimes a change is as good as a holiday. Your brain should not be getting foggier at 33. That is not old. Stress and poor s

The correct analogy would be "There are 14 competing standards with a new one released each week that creates doubt about the ongoing use of existing established standards and know one knows what the fuck is going on".

Can all the JS framework people lock themselves in a building for a year and figure our the right way to do this -- and only then share it with the world? Getting ridiculous.

This might seem academic, but I actually had a real reason to hand-roll a hash table implementation that would work in process-shared memory (as an Apache module). It was based on the hash table implemented in mod_ldap, and was part of an L

What has this got to do with Rust? Nothing. He could have called any C library and it would have been exactly the same. I am pretty sure there is a crypto library or two written in C. He is just writing a more direct manual version of CGo i

Best thing I ever did. For me it was the worst kind of vicious cycle - drink more, sleep worse, drink even more the next day. Although I am sorely tempted every morning when I get a whiff of freshly ground coffee being brewed up.

If a website puts something on the public internet, it should not even be aware if it is being accessed by a scraper or a human. Maybe we should just ban User Agent strings and be done with it.

OTOH domain registration is a walled garden - I can't go to ICANN and get myself a domain. Part of the deal of these service providers is they should not be imposing their ideology on string/number mappings. Where does it end?
