I would be surprised there are not some amount of oversubscribed geo areas, or remote spots with longer paths, etc. It does seem good for many, just perhaps not all.

They say 20-60ms, users seem to report 30-200ms. Seems very dependent on where you're at.

You can intentionally market the use cases without knowing exactly how they work, though. So it's intentional investment and use case targeting, rather than directly designing for purpose. Though, the market also drives the measures..

> but the 2nd is also not a pattern I really see apart from in JS codebases. If you're referring to "one-line logger calls that trigger expensive serialization", it's also common in java.

He had presumably used it for 10 years successfully. Surely he gained some expertise over that time period.

Though, that doesn't really conflict with the story. He increased his ad spend before he figured out it wasn't working. Which would be more $$ for Google.

Or I'm just saying revenue numbers alone don't prove anything useful when you have deep pockets.

No, I'm scamming myself. Halving my fortune because I believe karma will somehow repay me ten fold some time later.

If I had the cash, I could sell dollar bills for 50 cents and do a $7b run rate :)

Would guess "cosmic rays". Sun Microsystems had a batch of UltraSparc servers that were very sensitive to it, and it was a big issue. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19095-01/sf4810.srvr/816-5053-10...

If it's a module doing cryptography, maybe...Not suggesting C or rust in places where it doesn't make sense. Python itself make choices about whether the things it ships with are pure python or not. They often are not.

Maybe also knowing when not to use python, or finding a solution in python that uses C/rust/etc underneath.

six did help a lot. Didn't help with some things, though, like strings vs bytes vs bytearray.

I love Perl. I think, though, that the crazy mix of sigils and braces/brackets to work with complex data structures was one of the main reasons. Especially for the type of users were Perl had gained some ground in the past...data scie

It does vary. Rural sheriff departments being one example.

Sometimes it goes the other direction. PCI SSL accelerator cards were a thing for a long time before CPUs got faster, got various crypto acceleration opcodes, web servers rewrote SSL logic in ASM, etc.

It may be fixed now, but devil's in the details. As one example, musl has (or had) chronic issues with it's dns resolver and large responses.

Fair, though using AWS solely for CloudFront would mean you should compare to Cloudflare, Akamai, Fastly, etc. I'm not sure if the value prop for it looks so great if you don't include the "integrated with your other AWS stu

Or, if you just want to create multi-arch images for your project, on your Mac...so that your non-Mac customers can use them.

They also provide things that are a juicy target for regular run of the mill hackers. Like centralized services to turn credit card info into tokens, while holding the actual data.

You might be surprised at the amount of people that interact with a search engine in the same way they do with an LLM. Especially now that many put an LLM widget at the top of results for queries like that.

Well, largely because they made it difficult for customers to stay on PA-RISC, then later, because their competitors were dying off...and if you were in the market for stodgy RISC/Unix there weren't many other choices.

I think the idea there is that it's less direct. Intel's lack of interest in a 64-bit x86 spawned AMD x64. The failure of Itanium then let that Linux/AMD x64 kill off the workstation market, and the larger RISC/Unix mar
