Installing one of these packages doesn't execute the script though, you'd have to do that yourself. (It could be updated to do that though, which is terrifying.)

They're shipping out units that cost more than what the kickstarter brought in. Presumably it's coming out of Cringley's pocket.

The previous APNS service doesn't use HTTP at all.

At our company, we renamed it #announcements and made it so only admins could post there.

It's a completely separate project. I'm not sure there's a useful comparison between the two.

Yep you're right - disregard what I said above. :)

Do the async methods actually execute on a thread pool though? Or do they use enough async methods internally to periodically release the main thread enough to keep it responsive? From a quick glance at the source, the answer to the first i

Does that library do the calculations in a thread pool, or is it just async on the main thread? If the latter (which seems mostly likely), then it won't matter.

The default Lambda limit is 100 concurrently running Lambdas. AWS will raise this if you ask, I believe.

I believe they use erlang, but not ejabberd.

They haven't claimed it publicly at all, until now.

When I was in NYC last month, Apple Maps walking directions were consistently better than Google Maps. It was shocking. Overall, it's still not nearly as good as Google but I'm much more likely to try both now and compare, than ju

I was a die-hard Sparrow user when that was killed. I've been using Inbox now since it came out, and it mostly fits the bill. I wish there was a desktop app like Sparrow, but the browser UI is decent. I still have to open gmail occasio

I wonder what "go support" means. Would that not just executing a binary? If data is passed to it via a file handle, wouldn't that mean any executable would work? Or will you give it source code? I know you don't have th

That doesn't seem to change how ridiculous it sounds, does it?

The first hit to "photo stream limits": https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202299 I don't know if that answers your questions or not. It does seem kind of complicated.

I'm in your boat. I wish more people were in that boat.

Your experience with AWS support is generally correlated with how much you pay. After many years of grumbling, we're finally at the highest level and support is pretty great. As it should be, given the price. You're exactly right

This was the first time we had actually seen red icons on the dashboard. We joked that they had to furiously photoshop them up Sunday morning. (I'm sure it had happened before, just the first time we had seen them.)

It sounds like most of the remediation is "we'll make sure this service keeps working even if Dynamo is down". It's telling that so many services are relying heavily on Dynamo now. If anything, this event just makes me l

Fair enough. The reason you hear about so many AWS outages is because it's a massive service with so many users. If you build appropriately, you can have extremely good uptime built on AWS. They've earned tons of trust from their

Are you saying those reasons are not valid? And why is "trust" in quotes?

Yeah, it makes it sound like current systems (diskclavier, etc) don't use any dynamics per note, which just is not true.

Sure, getting fired for doing it the first time would definitely be a bit strong. However, an admin who was regularly using his remote management capabilities to play pranks I would hope would be let go.

Jumping on an unlocked computer is more of an "equal opportunity" thing. Only a handful of people in a company (IT) have the ability to remotely manage employees workstations. That creates an imbalance of power that needs to be re
