This image was pretty thoroughly panned as being either ignorant or malicious - there’s as much light coming off planes in the sky, yet astronomers don’t complain about that. That’s not to say the satellite aren’t irritating, but astronomer

Each account's AZ codes point to a different AZ—it's a way of avoiding conversations like this where people think a particular AZ is better than others.

One pain point I have is that functions as a service systems like Lambda have an special event format - this is sorted out by tools like Up which will install a small adapter and let you run your normal Http server in lambda. https:/&

And in other news, continuously extrapolating exponential or compound growth without regards to maturity scenarios will result in whatever you're extrapolating eventually occupying all atoms and energy in the universe.

Also, at her current growth rate, my 3 year old child will be 400 feet tall, 100 feet wide and weigh 150 metric tons by the time the article will come true - all results of a very scientific extrapolation that I did using math and stuff.

The Hippocratic oath isn't very effective — it did not prevent the development of bioweapons, drugs to carry out death sentences, or human destruction during WW2. If doctors can have their oath circumvented in a very tangible and obvio

The bill also doesn’t explain what will happen if price of these stocks crashes and the billionaires lose $100B or whatever in a day. Does the government give the money back? Does Bernie not realise that stocks aren’t liquid assets that hav

And the draft specifically mentions that those methods are the minimum interface - a library that supports contexts could always do this either way.

Thanks for addressing this. Each of these points was an immediate worry as I was reading the post, nice to see you’ve already thought of them and addressed them.

Yes and no. The complaint is that some widely used extensions are proprietary. If these extensions require MS servers, then they have every reason to be. Even if they don't, there's nothing wrong with a company holding back some s

One related scheme is fountain codes, where you can split a file into a pseudo infinite stream of blocks such that finding N blocks will almost certainly allow reconstruction. Very useful in UDP / satellite transmission, where you can

The ability to have an auto scaling auto distributive compute mesh, I’d say. Once a company builds that they can add POPs as fast as they can spend (or raise) money.

I keep trying to read and understand the attacks that have all happened so far... after you understand the vectors that are currently in use, hopefully it'll stoke your imagination to see how you might attack other systems and make up

Access is only via the service workers API. Basically it's exactly what your browser (Chrome, anyway) will run as a service worker, but running a little farther away. There are some extra APIs available as well, for key value storage a

I'm using Go, so the default no-config container is about 140MB. But it's possible to use a multi step build to bring that down to about 10MB (build it in a full container and copy into a very lightweight scratch container). That&

Yeah, Fly isn't "edge" as defined in the US, but sort of is as defined in India. CloudFlare, CloudFront etc tend to have one or two edge PoPs in India, and one in Singapore, and Fly has one (upcoming) in India, which is coinc

One alternative that's available right now is Fly.io — Fly actually runs Docker containers at the edge, so you get a lot of the benefits including autoscaling up and down, your application following the sun across the world, etc. I&#x2

No, the blog posts talks about using V8 isolates (V8 is a JavaScript engine). What CF does is support Rust via Web Assembly, and I think Go WASM might be supported. But they're pretty clear that they're not doing a process model,

Ah, I haven’t seen a dataset I could use for that. Everything on the links I’m putting up is based on the country and state information. I’ve seen timezone maps drawn, so this information does exist somewhere, but one would have to draw pol

Yes, I've long known that imaginary internet points are the only things that fill the void in my soul. I'm quite embarrassed to say that I go and re-read all my HN comments if I'm feeling low.

Try https://blip.runway7.net/v2.beta – I've added unix timezone based on the country and state code. The ISO databases have timezones associated with the level 2 code, which roughly corresponds to a state inside a coun

Couldn’t Apache just make a fork and announce it? Or is this just about the convenience and marketing?

Stashing files–let's say that each file is one second long and is just numbered with the unix timestamp – makes things cost effective because now the server is just dropping files no 1,2,3,4... into a directory, and everyone is pulling
