That’s disappointing, thanks for the clarification.

They get a lot of credit in my book for keeping it open and not hiding anything behind enterprise / non free components. I think Elasticsearch for example left a bad taste in people’s mouths by adding enterprise only features for somet

Unlike a properly configured RDS cluster, this is available outside of your VPC on the open internet. That’s the main selling point to me, though the connection pooling of MYSQL connections by the HTTPS proxy is also nice too.

If you’re message consumer isn’t idempotent then no MQ can help you. Exactly once delivery is impossible other than with at least once delivery and an idempotent consumer. https://bravenewgeek.com/tag/amazon-sqs/

I think he’s saying that you can publish to a queue without any subscribers, and only play the messages for some recovery operation. It is limited as there’s a maximum life time of 14 days for SQS messages among other limits.

Plus FIFO isn’t integrated with SNS nor is it integrated with Lambda leaving it in an island of its own within AWS.

Money is probably the most persuasive tool we have as a society to change behaviour. Yes engineering is vital but it works with economics not in isolation.

Was pony considered for the implementation itself? Other than the immature ecosystem it seems like a perfect fit here. Awesome write up and sounds like a fun job.

I like pub sub for sending events(where the sender doesn’t expect any responses). I dislike it for modelling RPC which is what you seem to be referring to.

Seems worth it if the software developed is a fraction of all software written. Sure your VM/runtime will have to be refactored, but not the millions of programs that run on it.

Great quite. I had thought the same about his background, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bezos looks like he was technical at college and the first couple of years (or less) of his career. > He graduated fr

Last time I used WSL it wasn’t recommended to work with your local window files and my WSL work was an island from the rest of my machine. I wonder if they will be able to bridge that gap? I think I could be a happy windows user if I never

Yeah you would, though having a common compile to target would hopefully make it easier to find pre compiled wasm binaries.

It’s not like companies can’t come up with financial instruments to get around this. I’d assume they don’t see a market, more than they don’t see a practical way to make it work.

Embedding does seem like one of the decisions Go got very right. Many languages (thinking c#, Java, c++) say they promote composition over inheritance but yet make inheritance so mmuch easier to use.

I think this is totally reasonable at certain times. E.g how long will it take to add feature x with scope y to our existing product is a decent thing to estimate (and estimate only) for stakeholders to prioritise appropriately. I think mos

The problem isn’t actually null perse, it’s an implicit null. E.g. it’s perfectly fine to say you might have an empty value via ‘Foo | null’ or ‘Foo?’ or with something like null, ‘Maybe Foo’ but to sneak it into plain old ‘Foo’ is problema

I think it’s interesting to speculate what would happen if there was a significant cost to running OSS as a cloud provider. I suspect what would happen is that they would look at the cost and wonder if it’s not worth building an alternate s

With my airline to organise a new flight after mine was cancelled. It’s so much better waiting for a message back than being on hold on the phone. I assume it also reduces wait times by allowing Customer service to handle multiple conversat

GCP may have come later than AWS but googles internal blob storage could of predated AWS for all we know.

Yep .net core runs comfortably in a minimum 128mb aws lambda. It’s not ultra lean, but there aren’t many use cases I can think of where that matters.

Map, filter and reduce are for the 90% though.

Same. They’ll probably end up being a nice pairing, fallback to cloudflare workers KV when the local one is empty/stale.

Yeah I’d love to know what the effects of limiting trades, to say, one second granularity would be. I see the importance of market making etc in general, but I don’t see it for millisecond latencies.

I think that’s the point of this article. No C# isn’t remotely a low level language, yet it has all these features that allow it to drop pretty low when necessary.

Yep, add in that it’s cross platform and there’s not much competition left in VS from my perspective.

Nonetheless the single thread pool in .net core seems to scale really well.

People are still quick to build and add to new projects. Now it’s more likely to be something related to Kubernetes or serverless, and those people are seen as hype chasers not pioneers. Like I’m guessing people were in the past too.

I think it will be interesting to see how this plays out in different ecosystems. I’d hazard a guess that ecosystems like Go, JVM and .NET will fare much better in an arm world, compared to languages that more commonly pull in native binari
