I’ve had a supply demand problem that I couldn’t figure out how to use a SAT solver for - thousands of demands ( movies have to reach thousands of theatres) with tens of possible paths (fedex, satellite, download) - each at different costs,

People will not pay unless they believe the files will be unlocked, which they will do en mass only if they have some publicity with positive indications it’ll work or at least a lack of negative indications that it won’t. If ransomware get

There’s a superb YC video that rephrased this correctly for me - be in love with the problem, not your current draft of a solution. Certainly not your first draft. https://youtu.be/vDXkpJw16os But you do need love. I had a

Any recommendations for an iPad + Pencil vector app? This app has a note that an iOS app is coming soon, wondering if anyone has any existing apps they like.

Git was designed to decentralise work, not power - they’re very different. Think about the author of Git himself - Linus. He didn’t write Git because he decided one day that he was tired of being the final decision maker for the Linux kerne

Yes and no. One offs that are personally targeted at you or anonymous scams, it makes sense to just keep asking for more money. But when ransomware has a name, it needs a “good” reputation to be successful. Just paying must be a well known

If you plot cost vs usage on a graph, you’ll find the Lambda cost line starting at zero with a certain slope, and your AWS line starting at much higher than zero but with a slightly lower slope. The lines will always intersect at some point

Whether the study or data is flawed or not, anecdotally it makes perfect sense. Splitting childcare duties with my wife have given me an excellent relationship with my child, but I’m sure as hell not going to do this shit again.

The advice against fixed bids is a bit more nuanced - there are two problems at play. 1. You do not fully understand the scope of the project, or think you do but actually don’t. In these cases a fixed bid will be catastrophic. 2. The clien

No, this kind of reductive thinking doesn’t hold. Ever heard of that alchemist quack who also did some math on the side? Newton, his name was.

To get Heroku gives you, you'd need to set up EB, RDS (with performance insights), CloudWatch (for logs and metrics), Code Pipeline (don't remember if EB supports GitHub pushes). If you use the heroku run command, you'll need

I’ve done both, and many projects start on Heroku then move to AWS once they hit scale. And every single time I keep cursing at how many hidden man-hours are spent on AWS maintenance. If you’ve tracked the time spent on AWS that wouldn’t be

Doing a cost benefit analysis and deciding that using a service instead of hiring and paying humans is a perfectly rational decision. I’ve downvoted because I see a lot of vitriol like this and it’s exhausting to argue each time that these

Netflix sends their own cache machines to tens, if not hundreds, of ISPs and interchanges all over the world, each of which have multiple terabytes of storage and act as cache nodes. I don’t think Unsplash is going to do that.

I do both at work, small sites on Heroku and big / compliance required ones on AWS, and the Heroku ones don’t need a devops team, while the AWS deployments do. Given the cost of building the devops teams and the time they spend, it is

Heroku mandates the use or 12Factor apps, which makes it much easier to migrate. They support docker as well. Pretty much every app I write I usually starts on Heroku and migrate later if the client / traffic needs it, and it’s always

The point of the article is the lack of transparency and borderline exploitation. If KR had put up a fundraising page saying “buy me beer” or “support my work” this wouldn’t be an issue. The author is pointing out that the funds were raised

The packages are independently verifiable, and cacheable. Do you could start your own cache with a Raspberry Pi at home if you wanted, and if whatever browsers you trust implemented this check you’d have your own secure version of it.

Despite all the hate against AMP, this will actually improve the state of a decentralised web. Disconnecting the web packaging feature from the application that birthed it, the format allows a website to sign its content and create an immut

This seems like a response to the AWS Global Accelerator - a an anycast network that will route your traffic to the nearest configured load balancer, and shift traffic out if any of the LBs are down. Might also do all the internal routing o
