Services like S3 are referred to as „object storage“. AWS Lambda is a service for „serverless compute“ or „function as a service“ (although it‘s debatable if these are good names for the concept).

My point is that definitely are named for these concepts but AWS uses brand names which is quite confusing for people who are new to AWS.

It sounds like you have never worked on a platform frequented by mobs of abusers (situations where abuse is targeted and high-volume enough that the "victim should just block" alternative is untenable for the victim).

Or a platform used by children.

The alternative, which you're welcome to use, is a fully decentralized/unmoderated platform. That alternative doesn't work for a lot of people. For them, the ability to report is often critical, quite literally, for their physical safety.

There has been an ongoing trend of publishing “faster” libraries with shaky foundations around the performance claims.

A great many of these libraries are also, unfortunately, “newbie traps” (faster is better, right?)
> Why dump billions of dollars then? Nowhere else to spend it? Effective marketing? Is no one asking this question?

Because whoever does achieve the next unlock - should it happen - will receive an unimaginably large windfall. This is the classic intent of venture capital. In fact, I'd suggest that AI is actually one industry where VC is doing what it does best: taking extremely risky bets with a large potential upside.

> Could this be part of "AI"'s appeal? A dream of absolving businesses and individuals from accountability.

Presently, this seems to be one of its large detractors. If I have an employee do something stupid, I can say that an employee did something stupid. People might wonder why they were allowed to do that stupid thing, and what we're going to do to prevent it from happening again, but the explanation of the source is satisfactory. We're fallible, and we understand the fallibility of others (generally speaking).

AI is not that at all. If my automation does something stupid, I still have all the blame, and yet I have nowhere else to pass it off to. "We don't understand why our AI did this really stupid thing" is, frankly, not a satisfying response (nor should it be). Businesses employing AI certainly are not absolved of any form of accountability, and are arguably exposed to more of it (since they're not able to pass the blame on to another fallible human, and have to take direct accountability of a system they built but don't fully understand).

I know the ins and outs of AWS pretty well, but when I see discussions about Azure or GCP, I’m completely lost. It’s not like I’m a stranger to the development side of the Microsoft ecosystem. I’ve been developing in C# for over decade and have used Visual Studio since 1997.

> I literally have zero memory of how we used to build forms in the pre-React times.

This is honestly quite a disturbing trend with a lot of front-end developers these days.

I recently asked a front-end dev why they chose React for a simple app over simple server-side templating, he's reaction was "we don't need SEO, so why do we need React SSR", like how does that argument even make sense. They seem to have forgotten you can build stuff without a JS framework.

The default has to be SPA + API, even when you don't actually need it.

Sears has been around for about a 100 years, and they have invented the catalog sales model - they were the Amazon of that era. I don't blame them for not doing things like A/B testing a 100 years ago, but 10 or 20? They were asleep at the wheel. That's when Walmart took off like a space rocket.
Essentially the same offering to the same demographic. Yet Sears collapsed.
Isn't VPC a wel known term? I guess the author just included that definition to make the list complete.
It does beg the question of SEU, ie single event upsets, which cause bits of digital circuits to randomly flip, and is much worse at altitude (another nice thing out atmosphere does for us) Circuits must be designed to be rad-hard to be less succeptible to this, increasing cost. Typically space grade ICs are way older and less powerful than the latest commercial offering as a result.
It makes it a lot easier to search for on Google though...

You're right, it's shitty of them to not provide that out of the box. However, if it's such a big problem for you, as others have pointed out, it's easy to solve. If you are paying $500/month for S3, you must be processing quite a large amount of data - as another poster pointed out, there's an easy to fix it. If you weren't going to use S3 for this, what would you use instead for this use-case?

Similar story different ending, I was driving over the San Mateo Bridge in broad daylight and screeched to a stop to avoid hitting a bicycle that had fallen off the back of someone's car and was sitting the rightmost lane. We managed to get out of there after spending a long terrifying minute looking in the rearview mirror at vehicles blithely approaching us at 75 mph and swerving into another lane at the last second upon realizing we were stopped, despite the emergency blinkers. Finally a gap in traffic opened up and we were able to get out of there too.

After we cleared the bridge we called 911 and as soon as my girlfriend said the words "San Mateo Bridge" the dispatcher said "Are you calling about that bike? All the calls we're getting right now are about the bike. Police are already on the way. Have a good day." And she got hung up on!

So, fortunately, sometimes the bystander effect isn't in play, and lots of people are independently making the good decision to report a dangerous situation to 911.
We haven't modified the compiler but instead plugged into it an external instrumentation tool using the compiler option `-toolexec`.

With this option, the compiler invokes every toolchain binary (compile, asm, link, etc.) through the provided program. So you can basically write a proxy program intercepting calls to `compile` to do source-code instrumentation, exactly like you would with go generate, but now automatically done during compilation on every package.

IPv6 allocation rules. They wanted to avoid the situation that happened with IPv4, so the address block are licensed for use and renewed on regular basis, so they can change. There's no such thing as fixed or static IPv6 address, it is dynamic, turtles all the way down. Hence DHCP-PD.

using aliases is a beginners mistake. they will one day break. just type in the real thing.

also, if you use aliases for commands that you use a lot, it is better to remember how to correctly type the command.
This leads me to believe that everything you mentioned is already subtly broken, it is the new DB/account model that just exposes it.

Is there something between the two solutions or pieces that could be modified that collapse the problem?

What about going with DB account per app account and using views to limit exposure to data. If user level views are applied before the business logic has access, then the death knell scenario should be avoided.

Migrations seem hard regardless, they have to be automated anyway and have a verified rollback/undo mechanism. Code should be multiversion aware if you are doing live upgrades.

I am personally a fan of read-only mode while doing the last phase of an ETL upgrade on the backend. Snapshot databases, run a bunch of Hive jobs and throw it back down on a new set of DBs.

In the cases you outlined where it was dangerous or fragile, I think those systems were already that way, and that fragility is a system of a different problem. Fix that and lots of other stuff disappears.
Hi! John from Ghost here - Ghost has no bloated styles or scripts which are injected by default. You have full control of the frontend and can make it as minimal (or maximal) as you like.

My answer to the OP would be:

If you want to write (on a blog) then do literally anything but turn your blog into a development project that you'll definitely never finish - because it just becomes the excuse for not writing. (almost all developer blogs)

If you want a fun developer project to experiment with your personal website, and messing with new technology is the goal, then this stack sounds like a lot of fun. It also sounds like it will be obsolete and no longer shiny in 12 months, but again, if this is your goal then you probably don't care.

TLDR: developer tools will usually end up being great for development, publishing tools end up being great for publishing. Pick the one that suits your desired outcome best.

It does me too... I was an early high school computer enthusiast/programmer around this time, and remember waiting for Windows 3 with bated breath. At the time, I didn't appreciate the engineering and politics behind what went into Windows 3, and it's fun to look back on it all in retrospect.

I never liked the product as much, but the same thing's true for me for Windows 95. I remember waiting years for it, and then all the drama around Schulman's work to try to uncover _undocumented_ API's that Microsoft was reserving for itself to give its software an advantage. The AARD code is about all I remember of that that was real. (And of course now, Apple has undocumented API's all over its products, and it doesn't get nearly the press that that did then.)
What I'm missing is signal on how those laws were enforced. The Weimar constitution included (translation) "No censorship will take place," which does make me wonder how effective the existing laws were.

I look forward to migrating to Linode's S3-compatible object storage. I appreciate that you are agreeing that it's shitty of AWS. But I disagree that it's "easy to solve". Like I said, I already spent quite some time looking into how to solve it. And having to set up logging for a bucket (and learning how to do this in AWS's complex interface), and if I understand correctly creating another bucket to receive those logs, and learning how to then obtain and interpret the results? Maybe you're above my paygrade but I do not consider this easy.

>Why does AWS use such convoluted language? Is it because they're dominant and it adds friction to moving to another provider?

Having gone from AWS in my last role to GCP in my current, I can tell you with 100% certainty that for me, AWS' mnemonic device naming convention is far, FAR more effective in helping me remember which service does what.

S3? Storage. EC2? VM/compute. GCP's equivalent? GCS/GCE. I don't do a whole lot with VMs in my role but it takes me a few good seconds to remember "GCE" whereas EC2 is instantly memorable. Don't get me started on Google's many "Data X" services (Datastore, Dataproc, Data Transfer, Data Catalog, Data Fusion, Dataprep, Data Labeling).

tl,dr; the lizard part of my brain very much prefers AWS' naming style, and I have a hard time remembering GCP's services despite the descriptive naming.

Are Online Ads a Bubble? Seriously
I just want to add my 2 cents in hope that it's helpful. I'm a co-founder/partner of a seed-stage VC fund and do keep track of the pitch decks we've seen as a partnership over the past two funds spanning six years.

Comparing these decks to the decks I have in our tracker (a dataset of similar size to yours), there's a lot of differences. Even if you only take the pitch decks of the successful companies (most of which we didn't invest in), a lot of these decks look a lot more polished.

Here's what I think is going on: Some decks are undoubtably real seed pitch decks, some decks are demo day decks from accelerators, and a few of these decks (Facebook's, for example) are after-the-fact business school exercises from students.

So, I do think most decks are real, but what's tripping up some people is how polished some of the decks are. True pitch decks used to get a seed round or into an accelerator aren't very polished because you're constantly changing the deck based on feedback over the span of 20-50 pitches. The truth is that many investors I know worry when they see a too-polished deck that everyone else has already seen the deal and passed :-P.

Unbundling the OS is basically the Open Source model. So yes you can install a bare bones OS core and then slot in whatever tools, apps and services you want, but then your system is it's own special individual snowflake. The intersection of all the people using the same text editor, ftp client, mail client, desktop, window manager, browser, IM client, backup software and PDF viewer is, er, just you.

So what happens then is people come up with bundled solutions called Distros, but there are dozens of them.

On mobile the nearest equivalent are all the small time AOSP based OEMs, but even then end users are manipulated in certain ways by the default apps and app store that comes with the phone.
Here’s what they mean by inclusivity. Right now the large majority of authors/editors on wikipedia are caucasian men from richer western countries. This causes an inherit bias in wikipedia’s content. Wikimedia rightly would like the authors to be an unbiased representative sample of society if it wants to be a representative encyclopedia (do se still use that word?)

I visited wikimedia’s HQ almost a decade ago. Back then they were trying to solve this problem by making the editor more approachable.
I work in risk management. What you do is time box for risk assessment where you come up in an hour or so with all kind of risks. Then you tackle things that have high chance of showing up or things that have high impact. Ideally things that have high chance and high impact are priorities.
Hit the nail on the head.

This site is incapable of having nuanced conversations about this, because opinions that the loudest voices disagree with are downvoted + flagged into oblivion. This is significant when talking about diversity, because it means minority voices are silenced, and without those voices, such a conversation is meaningless.

For example, look at the comments thread whenever "James Damore," "cancel culture," or "affirmative action" comes up. That should be proof alone that HN is never going to have an actual impactful conversation about this... Ever.

I'd prefer if the mods just banned these discussions forever, because it's exhausting, and forever doomed to end up as a "diversity is bad" conversation.

My objection is when the hosts--who in our club get to pick the book--have not read the book without reading it. This happens too often and can leave the rest of us trudging though something pretty tedious. I wouldn't say the club is bad, I guess I'd say it's not serious. My wife is in another club, all women, and people there show up without having read the book too.
> It's pretty close.

Imagine CNN has a report on the chances of Hillary and Donald in 2015. A few weeks later someone copies the stuff about Hillary's chances and makes no mention at all of Trump.

After the 2016 election they then edit their post to paste in the Trump stuff and use that new edit to claim they were writing about Trump's chances a year before the election.

Is that pretty close to the truth or is it virtually the complete opposite of the truth?

You're absolutely right, and also absolutely missing his point. As a massive user of AWS for a long time, yes you can know exactly to the sub-detail line what you pay for, no you can absolutely not have an overview or good estimation of mapping what a change in your software stack / setup will cost or save you. Unless we're talking "remove an entire service" and then duh, yeah.
