We have a local rink in our town and I volunteered for years as a "hoser," part of a crew of volunteers that would shovel off the rink late at night and then spray a new layer of ice so that the kids would have a fresh surface in the morning. Every year, without fail, a local engineering student would show up while I was getting setup and ask if they could test their new "backyard Zamboni" on the rink (e.g. some variation on an upside down propane grill on wheels) and I would watch as they learned the painful lesson that there were not 20 MPH winds in the lab.
This works well: https://github.com/serverlesspub/ffmpeg-aws-lambda-layer
For me it's because I don't want to spend more time configuring a hosting environment than it took to write the utility web app. I can spin up a DigitalOcean droplet in two minutes and spend the other 58 minutes writing the code.
Oh that's quite big news if you run an app that has to be deployed cross cloud.

We use very little serverless at the moment, because the three clouds we need to deploy to have infuriating differences between their execution and deployment environments. Eg. How they manage dependancies, the runtimes, how you describe and deploy each function.

Compared at least to K8 where the containers you build run just fine wherever you put them.
LightSail isn't any cheaper than the EC2 instance types backing it. Everything else (VPCs, IAM roles, etc) doesn't have a cost associated.

What you're missing is that cost/complexity-wise, LightSail and EC2 are equivalent. The only difference between them is your interface to it. LightSail doesn't give you some pretty necessary knobs to kick things into a working state when the EC2 instances are having a burger. In fact, the last time I used LightSail and had a problem with unavailable instances, I just ran the ec2 api commands against the lightsail instance IDs to solve my problem.

DigitalOcean has some networking properties that make it extremely undesirable for some use cases and Linode is frequently the target of massive global DDOS. I remember well a few years ago the Christmas Eve Linode DDOS because I had to work 20 hours that day.

Thankfully it was only 20 hours because we were already in the process of moving off of Linode and we just decided to flip all of the switches to serve out of AWS. Most of the time was spent waiting on DNS TTLs.

Instance costs across all of the cloud providers are pretty competitive. Where AWS and Google Cloud and Azure are more expensive are in those "extra" services where you would be paying people to run infrastructure (elasticsearch, sql databases, etc). DO, Linode, etc, don't give you that option -- it's not an apples-to-apples comparison....and in most cases you shouldn't use some of these things. Definitely no service where you can't just pick up and go use some other hosting tomorrow. Cloud vendor lock-in is real.

I don't see why not, assuming it's less than the lambda max run time (15 minutes I believe). Use a python script and an included binary of ffmpeg might work. Note: You'll need to write to the tmp space of the lambda as that's the only place that allows writing to the filesystem and then you'll need to upload it to S3 or elsewhere.

Lambda's are good at batch jobs where you might need to kick off a few of them but not have a dedicated system for it. I've used it to automate manual customer support tasks that are sporadic in requests.
Token Ring was either 4Mbps or 16Mbps.
Damn. CommerceOwl is feeling the pressure to hire now.
As was mentioned by qvrjuec in a sibling comment, hardware is limited. I seem to remember CPU speeds listed alongside available memory for AWS Lambdas, but the pricing page seems to just list memory now[0]. At the highest end, you're still limited to ~10.2GB of memory, which is considerably lower than what's available via EC2. And while I have no personal experience with the EC2 finer-grained pricing that was announced[1], it sounds like that approach may be a better approach to the described scenario above. We can nitpick on these architectural details, but my response was largely that there are other architectural alternatives that could be more ideal; especially in response to a comment that seems to dismiss the value of pricing at finer time intervals.

It might feel limited for students with prior programming experience. However, my first programming course (in high-school) used BSL & co, taught from “How To Design Prgrams” (1), and it didn’t feel restrictive. Having to manually recurse, construct lists, &c. made clear exactly what later abstractions and syntactic sugar did. Rather than feeling that my hands had been tied before being introduced to, for example, higher order function, I felt I’d been granted superpowers once i had: nearly every function we’d previously struggled to write could now be written in one or two lines, and we even understood fully what those lines meant! Admittedly, this excitement was that of an absolute beginner.

Out of curiosity: besides cost, are there other significant reasons that drive your desire to switch?
Gift exchange is undervalued as a custom, at least in America. I am thinking particularly as a business custom. A gift gives you a chance to express gratitude, show your understanding / empathy of the recipient. It also is a great way to make a communication about who you are. That's why gifts of your product or service can be really effective.
Even those are very heavyweight to my mind. I’m thinking things as simple as applying semantics to flow charts and making state tables. Exhaustive enumeration of small spaces forms a neat on-ramp to more powerful methods, if we choose to treat them that way.
How many people actually use lambda? Always came off as a gimmick to me.
By now? Where did you see that?
Message: We must cross the bridges that divide us
Last year, the adults in my immediate family put a limit on how much we'd spend on each other for Christmas. I think we picked around $20/person, when in the past we probably spent $75-100.

This has been good for us, mainly because it lowers the pressure of gift exchanges. There's a big difference between giving (and getting) an unwanted $10 item compared to an unwanted $50 item. The limit removes emphasis from the material value of the item and puts it more on the thought behind the gift.

Generally, I think gift-giving culture in the US is out of control and largely doesn't benefit the giver nor the recipient.

Dreambound | San Francisco, CA | Full-time | Senior Software Engineer, Product | https://dreambound.com/company/jobs/4057701003
----

Dreambound (formerly Ladder) creates upward mobility for American job seekers and simplifies hiring for employers. We’re an early startup helping low-income folks upskill and afford vocational training (think truck driving or nursing) with zero-interest loans. It’s a bit like Affirm meets edtech meets workforce development — deeply mission-oriented work helping people get ready for an economy that’s left them behind, and also an exciting engineering challenge as we’re working with a modern stack and awesome team.

This is engineering role #3 at a 10+ person company with some phenomenal talent and great culture. We're hiring for both front-end and back-end roles, with a focus on the front-end role and someone who has had 2+ years of experience working in React, TypeScript, and front-end JavaScript frameworks. We are SF based but many team members are distributed.

In my time in tech I have never come across a company that is as mission-oriented as ours — while still very much focused on building a successful business. For many of our customers, Ladder represents a lifeline to economic stability. We are backed by USV; leaders at Affirm, Twitter, General Assembly; and some of the best VCs/angels in the business. It's a GREAT opportunity to join an early-stage company.

You can apply here and mention HN, or email me directly (brandon@ the below domain name):

I think the user vs. product dichotomy is not right in this case. Microsoft really does make its money on products and support. You can see this on their public filings.

The relevant dichotomy is more like: people who run Windows aren't the buyers. One-off personal licenses for home PCs are more than a rounding error but are certainly not what made Microsoft what it is.

Governments and F500 companies buy Windows and Office for X00,000 machines for X0 years of support at a time. Enterprise procurement teams are the actual buyers whose opinions matter to product managers.

Ebooks work better for some things, less well for others.

I don't wholly disagree with your overall sentiment though. I find there's a certain fetishization of even cheap paperbacks, rather than their content, that I don't buy into. There are certainly some types of books that lend themselves better to print than tablet and some that are designed to be art in their own right. But, for reading a novel, I'd rather use an ebook reader for the most part.

I think this is a UI problem. Google ought to re-state the question they're answering, which may be slightly or entirely different from what was asked.

In other words, if I Google "What year did Tom Hanks land on the moon", the answer box should say "US astronauts landed on the moon in 1970" (not just "1970"). Give users the ability to assess whether the AI was correct.

Sorry, I didn't mean to argue for apps to be able to read your browsing history.

The main point I was trying to make was that apps having network access without warning is more of a security/privacy issue than apps being able to read local files without warning. It's probably why Little Snitch became so popular and why I think Apple is in the process of shoving them out of the market by building it into the OS (I'm guessing!).
Containers fulfil other purpose, and have existence in some form on mainframes and big UNIXes, because just using UNIX permissions is not enough to actually secure a process.

They just happen to have been misused to workaround deficiencies on Linux software distributions.

The only areas where I see a failure of dynamic linking is security, given the possible exploits of the host process.

The 10% that succeed won't need that kind of scale on the day they launch though. Probably not even the first 12-24 months after they launch. There will be plenty of time to see what kinds of traffic they really can expect and then plan for that.

In other words; I can build them something for $10,000 that gets them to market in a month that may not be what they need in five years or I can build them something for $100,000 that gets them to market in a year, meanwhile, their scrappy competitor launched 11 months before them.
