This! A local mock of AWS is sorely lacking for most services. The best one I know are Amazon's own DynamoDB and the independent FakeS3 tool which exposes an http api and saves the blobs and metadata as local files in a transparent way

Very interesting. Is there a reference implementation or discussion you can link to?

Interesting! I've been playing around with Serverless/Lambda this weekend (the node version), but a main thing that struck me was that I couldn't use a connection pool for database connectivity. This means that each request t

According to the newspaper, the companies can claim that they were misled by the laws and made their decisions to invest here solely on these laws. So they can also try to claim future costs which are caused by being based in Belgium. I&#x2

I live in Belgium and the news today is that our government will have to pay huge damage claims to these companies for misleading them, which will probably amount to more than the reclaimed tax. Our current government is led by different pa

I think he means having the servers abstracted away (i.e. not having to maintain them, not knowing how many of them should be running, etc...)

I wonder if all the critical commenters here feel the same about sites sending a verification e-mail before completing your registration. After all, it serves the same purpose of preventing usage of bogus e-mail addresses. If you're ag

I like this article. I started with React last month, and navigating through the jungle of related technologies (Flux, Redux, Webpack, JSX, Typescript,...) is a real challenge. Most examples use one or several of these, which clouds the und

Very nice... But in the comic I got confused about how the resolver could start communicating with the nameservers, given that they are themselves part of the dnsimple.com domain. Where did it get the IP of the nameservers?

I agree: I have just started using Redux and the new 1.0 API and documentation are great. However, I am very curious about the long-term* future of Redux now that FB's Relay has landed... (*) long-term in JavaScript-parlance, meaning m

I recently replaced all my a >= x AND a < y with BETWEEN, and then I realised I got burned by what you describe :-) It's been on the Trello to-do to fix it for weeks...

I agree that the general effect is still dumb, but I meant that the directive isn't as "technologically illiterate as many believe it to be". I was pleasantly surprised that the legislators were aware of the necessity of cook

As I understand it (but I am no lawyer), it was only a requirement in the US until 1989. So if you are a company operating outside the US and none of your copyrighted material dates from before that, I don't see why you should include

I also used to hate this directive, but when I read the description on the website of the European Commission, it is actually much more nuanced than I thought: "However, some cookies are exempt from this requirement. Consent is not req
