It's similar but no really the same thing. It has to be done up front by initiating a multi-part upload to start. The parts are still technically accessible as S3 objects but through a different API. But the biggest limitation is that

I don't think it's particularly obvious or necessary. AWS makes its money on big enterprise customers who probably don't want or need this feature. Hobbyists learning AWS in their spare time are a rounding error on AWS revenu

The fact that it's named after Murray Gell-Man, a Nobel prize winning physicist should tell you something. Intelligence doesn't save you from it.

Very true, but I do think there is an issue in the margin about how easy it is to ignore errors. For example, in Java you might have something like ``` void checkPermissions() throws AuthException ``` so you have to actively ignore errors b

A less cynical view of it is just that diagnosis of engine and dental problems is still pretty subjective so different providers will have different judgements about what constitutes a problem that needs fixing. If one dentist says you have

(Un)safe is a bit of an overloaded term but Rust's concurrency model is safe in the sense that it statically guarantees that you won't have data races. Trying to mutate the same memory location concurrently is a compile-time error

> It's caused a lot of trouble so far and for what? The "for what" seems pretty obvious, no? It's the same reason you would use Rust over C in any other project. Memory safety and more modern PL features.

Not the OP but the complicated part to me is just that the fd has a global cursor which makes concurrent access require synchronization. The rust std::fs::File API at least makes this clear through mutability requirements but I imagine in o

Ah yeah, I've implemented LRU caches this way (hash map with an intrusive linked list overlayed on the values) but didn't put 2 and 2 together :)

Isn't that just a different data structure? How do you preserve insertion order in a hash map?

You need all the same stuff with a REST API only instead of using tooling to codegen all the boilerplate you have to write it by hand (or use janky OpenAPI code generators which, in my experience, rarely work very well). I am increasingly a
