Given the number of major, established services running on AWS that go down perfectly in sync every time there's an AWS outage, it seems unlikely that the service is likely to fall out of most of HN's mindset for quite some time t

I did another internship for enhanced experience, but I'm going to have to consider it myself one of these years. :) (The pay is also great and the other perks and location are amazing.)

When you consider that Microsoft have an (at least small) team dedicated (full time job) to pretty much every area of hardware (e.g. printer team) who are given the active support of the manufacturers, it is indeed pretty impressive that Li

But what of users (as they often do) descriptively naming files? I've seen plenty of "Accounts for Proctors' Attention.xlsx" style files. Case insensitivity would lose the case there. :/

If we in the UK have limits on the number of Tube[1] trains run in a given period, they're for safety or 'incredibly low number of passengers' (depending on where along the line you are) and really not finance reasons, to the
