AWS Glacier removed the retrieval pricing issue for most configurations, but the bandwidth costs are still there. You pay $ 90 to retrieve 1 TB.

Depends on the requirements, if you need concurrent access and things like durability in a crash you're going to be implementing something that looks a lot like a database.

Yes, the ESP32 has Bluetooth support and there is an open source library to read the inputs from a PS4 controller. So I just wrote a small program to connect to the controller and send the right commands to the motors. I think "traditi

These are exactly the things to worry about in an application that has enough scale for it. My usual approach is to have a wiki page or document to describe these limitations and roughly the order of magnitude where you will encounter them.

Cool! I've made an ESP32 powered RC tank on tracks, controlled with a PlayStation 4 controller over Bluetooth. The basic software is very easy to start with, about 20 lines of C using a library for the Bluetooth controller. From there

The common mistake with this is seeing a plane, reporting "traffic in sight" but looking at a different plane than the one the controller meant. Especially at night where distance is near impossible the estimate and you can't

Totally unrelated to cookies, but: Looks like a nice product! Have you figured out a way to integrate with ECS / Fargate? That's where our high volume ALBs are pointed at.

No it's not. Nowhere in the ePrivacy Directive do they specify anything about first- vs third-party data.

Technically you need one, because you're using session storage for something that is not strictly necessary to make the page work. It's in the article.

This is wrong, read the article. Your answer aligns with GDPR, but cookie banners come from the ePrivacy directive. The author is one of the few to describe it well.

Most of these "cookie free" analytics vendors keep talking about how cleverly they have anonymised the data, but this article finally gets it right: That does not matter for cookie popups. Anonymisation is only relevant to GDPR, b

With this order size there is no public pricing information. So if you can't deliver fast enough you would adjust prices or specifically charge more for the first few delivery slots. Compare it to ordering very high price items with lo

Hetzner is very good for low cost high bandwidth things that don't need a serious SLA. But if you're selling a platform like Railway.com the stability and flexibility of Hetzner aren't going to be good enough.

In the Netherlands buying stolen goods is a crime. If you knew or could reasonably have known it was stolen (e.g. a bike with a broken lock, no keys and a low price) you risk a serious fine. If you didn't know it was stolen you just lo
