We use GCPs equivalent of spot instances (preemptibles) to great effect as well. It actually works better at larger scale since a smaller % of your machines get preempted at a given time.
You can ‘Stop’ a DB and ‘Terminate’ a DB through the UI. If you have deletion protection turned on, you can only stop the DB until it’s turned off, which can also be done through the UI.

You most likely stopped the DB, but the problem there is that AWS will automatically turn on the DB after 7 days. You also still get charged for storage for the time your DB is off.

Sorry to hear that though. I know it’s a really sucky situation to be in.

Can't you, though? I think I've seen several apps doing it, making the set-up and administration of the cluster abstracted away and transparent to the user (I can think of KDE's Akonadi suite for instance).

That doesn't make the whole DB be contained in a single file, sure, but PG can then serve as the data backend of a versatile lot of applications
But it doesn't save much engineering time. You now need to manage those services, and the high mark-up means you need to invest effort in scaling things up/down.

Yes, it took me about a week to learn to set-up a Postgresql high availability cluster. But now it saves me $4,000 per MONTH for each of our 10 databases.

And if you are using EC2 instances, AWS saves very little effort compared to bare metal.

You have to be careful by what you define as "success" and "failure". Many/most languages never really fail, they just become more and more niche.

So taking your question to be, why isn't Pascal used as much as some of the other languages from antiquity, like C, sh/bash/ksh/etc, or even Lisp, my opinion is that it was a combination of it being an "old" language and an interpreted language.

If you take a look at a timeline of programming language creation and usage [0], you see only a few compiled languages from before the 1980s survived and pretty much no interpreted languages did. The interpreted languages that did survive were mostly created in the late 1980s or early 1990s (Perl, Ruby, Python, Javascript).

I kind of take this to mean that the programmer productivity gained from interpreted languages was overshadowed by the computational speedup from their compiled counterparts during the pre 1980s time. When computer's computational speed finally caught up so that interpreted languages made more sense, Pascal was now 20+ years old and was overshadowed by the newer interpreted languages that took advantage of newer ideas in programming language design and/or were more feature rich in the programming language fads of those eras.

"sh" holds a kind of special place, as it's the workhorse of interacting with Unix-like environments, so it became pretty well entrenched. If you look at a lot of the more "modern" interpreted languages, you can see a lot of them were meant to supplant or complement tools specific to the command line or the command line itself (e.g. AWK -> Perl).

I don't claim to have any deep knowledge so all this is my very biased and weak opinion.

That sounds like it would primarily impact the low-paid worker on the other end of the line rather than alter company policy.

If things are not making sense, you need to reexamine your assumptions. I will argue that fusion actually doesn't have much potential, and the relatively low interest in it (as reflected by money being spent vs. alternatives) reflects that.
I suspect everyone is wrong, but we're all subject to an availability bias.

We assume that things we actively notice other people doing in public are representative of what everyone (or everyone in some category to which we've assigned that person) is doing. We don't notice all the people not engaging in that behavior because they're not noteworthy.
No, nothing is perfect, but this is IMO a case of one being vastly worse than the other, with the only merit that it's "easier".

To points 1-4, where would FF be without $400m a year from Google?
Due to the shrinking user base another thing becoming more common these days is broken websites on Firefox. Sometimes something small like WebRTC processing, other times the site simply won't load. 1x/week I open a website in Chrome incognito to use it due to not working on Firefox, last week was a restaurant reservation website.

[Disclosure] I'm Co-Founder and CEO of http://vantage.sh/, a cloud cost platform for AWS. Previously I was a product manager at AWS and DigitalOcean.

Since the author and so many people are commenting about AWS costs (and in particular, choosing cheaper EC2 instances and EBS volumes) I thought I'd mention that Vantage has recommendations that look to tell you for these exact things so you don't get tripped up / spend more than you have to.

If you have "antiquated" EC2 instances or EBS volumes, Vantage will give you a recommendation for which instance to switch to and how much money you'll save.

The first $2,500/month in AWS costs are also tracked for free so people get a lot of value out of the free tier and can save significant parts of their bills when developing on AWS.
I've tried it in the early '90s when I was a noob. I couldn't get a simple program to work due to limitations of max 255-byte strings and fixed-length arrays. Google and StackOverflow didn't exist back then, so that was it. I went back to my pile of shareware floppies and found another language.
(Sweden situation). There's recurring inspections of any vehicle, binannually or something maybe for motorcycles. The HD people I know/knew, would change back to the stock pipes for inspection, because the loud ones were not legal to use. Then just change back again.
This is a crucial consideration when choosing hardware (especially Intel vs AMD) [0]. Of note is the AMD Threadripper family supporting up to 56 PCIe lanes directly to the CPU. On the datacenter/server side AMD Epyc supports 128 CPU PCIe lanes [1]. Note this is per socket so with multi-socket systems these numbers increase accordingly.

Massive amounts of I/O such as this are instrumental for high and extremely dense I/O applications whether it be for storage, network, GPUs, etc (or combinations of all, of course). I know it's been a consideration for companies such as Netflix, Cloudflare, and Nvidia.

How is wxwidgets not native? They literally wrap native controls. Short of writing directly to a device frame buffer, you aren't getting any more native.

Qt is does indeed not use platform controls, but it is still a huge distance away of the insanity that is Electron.

Highdpi is also a solved problem on a lot of platforms already, and only really a problem in the first place if you use absolute pixel offsets or coordinates instead of extents, spacers and other automatic geometry tools.

But they can be found and share, as opposed to apps of a non existent category where average people publish what they are working on, their thoughts, or whatever. App Store and Google Play search would crumble at the scale of the number of websites in existence right now (~2 billions). Remember that search engines index what's inside those websites too not just their name and description.
Exactly. This is a giant nothingburger. You can't get through a gate at the airport without showing government-issued ID, by which point they know exactly who you are, and every detail about your life. What exactly are you opting out of? You're still being recorded by dozens--if not hundreds--of TSA/airport security cameras every step of the way, and even if there isn't software automatically identifying and tagging you, it would be trivial to determine who you are. You're on camera when you arrive at the airport, you're on camera when you check in, you're on camera when you go through security, walk to the gate, and board the plane. It's unlikely a single second of your activity in the airport is off-camera (bathrooms notwithstanding).

I don't like the surveillance state, in particular the ubiquity of cameras in public open spaces where there's no compelling reason. I don't like the networks of private cameras people have attached to their front doors, all fed to Amazon and Google (and the state, most likely). If we're going to have cameras anywhere, though, the airport is the place I have the least problem with.

We're way past opting out, whatever that even means in this scenario.

It works, the thing is that "working" in that case is to increase the cost of doing this. Solving 1000 captchas costs $2 https://anti-captcha.com/.

The difference here is that people that have no money can automate selenium on their own computer and defeat a PoW captcha. But for people that have to pay for either servers or a captcha solving service, there is no difference.

Not OP, but I did the same and I use

- Ansible for the low-level stuff (like network, mounts, iSCSI, configuration files)
- Terraform for high-level stuff (like DB users)

In my case, as I have several services that use a lot of RAM running, I couldn‘t afford The Cloud but can easily afford a colocation. I don‘t mind the maintenance (it‘s a couple hours each month) and I don‘t care much if services are down a few hours.

If you need something running 24/7 with 99.9%, colocation will be more expensive just because of the human you need.
Today Is The 20 Year Anniversary of 9/11
Designing to remain robust in the face of failures is compulsory for any project of any significance. Or at least it should be, though a lot of projects go on a wing and a prayer that nothing will go awry and "save" those engineering hours until a catastrophe at some future point. It basically just prioritized what already should be a priority.

I have no doubt that fringe/niche instances have more competitive spot behaviors, though how you set your bid range dramatically impacts how you survive through competition, but I had vanilla instances last for literal years (note that by default the spot requisition has a lifespan of one year so you have to modify that) at per hour pricing somewhere in the range of 1/5th on demand.

But mileage will vary.

I don't use those spot instances anymore as my projects are much better financed now, and I have significant compute on other platforms including bare metal in colocation facilities. However when I did I stayed silent about it, feeling almost like it was a secret that would be ruined if others knew about it.

If all self-driving cars are hardcoded to never break the speed limit there's no reason to have radar traps. Self driving cars already have codes that they follow, which the public can oversee the same way they oversee traffic codes now.

For that matter if self-driving cars became able to respond faster than a human, there'd be no need for the old speed limits at all. A car would probably know its hardware much better than a human and know what it's individual fastest safe speed would be. Universal speed limits would only be necessary while there are human and AI drivers on the same roads. Which is why, as I said, a phased change-over would be best.
