Again, version control does not imply any particular deployment process, and deployment does not imply when scripts (or any code) gets executed. If you have all of these things mixed together -- version control, build/deploy, and execute -- then you should look at how you can separate those into discrete tasks so script A can't get run before script B. Preventing code execution dependencies like A must run before B shouldn't have anything to do with your version control system.

Your version control and deployment processes should move your applications from one working state to another working state. Temporal runtime dependencies such as "A must run before B" should get handled at run time, either by making A execute B when it successfully finishes, or writing a higher-level script that runs them in order only if both exist.
"all that's necessary" implies there's something fundamental about imperative languages that's intrinsically more basic. In fact, the opposite is true. If you're problem statement is "in response to event X, transform Y into Z, stick it in a database, then take A from the database, reshape it into B, and send it back to the user" then weak functional approaches are the natural solution. (languages like Elixir or idiomatic JavaScript).

$480 to process 66 request per second.. lol
Even the smallest fargate task @ .25 CPU & 256mb of memory can do double that no problem, and for only like $30 WITH a load balancer. You get all the benefits of lambda, you keep your existing tooling, and you don’t have to deal with those icky “servers”.
You also conveniently left out the price of API Gateway for the lambda costs, so add another $130. Unless of course you want to use function URLs and get hit with a Denial Of Wallet attack and bankrupt your entire company.
Lambdas, for APIs, are good for one thing only: apps that don’t get traffic and have no business value. I would always use lambda for things like reading from SQS or processing S3 events- it just doesn’t make economical sense for a business critical API despite what all the marketing hype will tell you

A lot of California's NIMBYism is rooted in Proposition 13, passed in 1978. Many homeowners cannot sell their current home and buy one elsewhere in the state without significantly increasing their annual property tax burden. (Prop 19 in 2020 carved out an exception for homeowners over 55.) When a house is a family's single largest investment, and Prop 13 makes that asset even more illiquid than in other states, stiff opposition to any nearby development should surprise nobody.

It is totally cheaper to dump some cement (it is mostly gel with a topping of cement). To P&A older wells maybe runs $12-25K (assuming, like, a 5-8k ft. depth conventional well)...and I may be running a little high on that number. That gets a small truck out there with a small crew to pull tubing and dump alternating layers of cement and gel (cement goes on the top and across formations that would be ground water bearing). Fun fact, if you have to go back into an abandoned well and you come across red cement at the top, that is indicative of someone losing a nuclear based well tool in there and to call someone before going further. A typical 7.5-10k foot lateral unconventional well (horizontal wells) down that way will run about $7-8 million depending (and 6 wells on average on a well pad), but aren't really the issue, but just giving you some numbers to sort of show that fining someone $100K for something serious isn't that big an expense and not really a deterrent. Natural gas lines are always a big deal to oil and gas companies - if you build it they will come. Most space in pipelines for operators is spoken for before they even dig the first trench.

Thank you for the prompt and clear explanation.
The OP is literally a proposal to standardize modern and “safer” programming guidelines. The chain of logic comes from “Use lvalue references”, which claims that pointer are obsolete and programmers can avoid using them in most cases, other than narrow exceptions for strings, function pointers and such. But it proposes requiring a poor practice of avoiding operator ->.

There are two obvious solutions here: either improve the proposal to make an exception for -> or improve the language so that -> is friendlier for static analyzers.

Just to add to your excellent description, one can draw an analogy between the id_token and a VC.

But an id_token usually has an audience which is the RP, and a short expiration. A VC is issued for the user (aka holder), with long or no expiration to store in wallet.

A VC is bound to the user’s did (think pk thumbprint) and is useless without a proper presentation. A verifier does not expect just the VC but a V. Presentation signed by the user.

This is where using id_tokens as vcs will fall short. Once you give it to one verifier, you could assume is public.

The good thing about VCs is that is standard and easy to grasp. There are too many flavors though

Scaling AWS Lambda Permissions with Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC)
I'd love a setting that would silence directions when I am within $distance of home, and have home set as my destination. I don't really need to be told to turn on my own street, or the streets I always use to get to my street.
Been using snapraid for years, it's very flexible and perfect for my needs, with mostly static data on a home server.

The greatest thing about it is that you can just add more storage whenever you want, without having to resilver the whole array. Also if one drive fails, the data on the other drives is still completely accessible.

Having said that, I've never had a drive fail without warning (had some that started to go bad, but I've replaced them in the array before they became inaccessible), so I still haven't had to use the data recovery aspect of it yet. I did test recovering a deleted file and that worked though.

The downside is that you can only recover to your last snapshot, so it's up to you to set up a schedule or remember to sync the array often.

> they're enterprise devices sold under the explicit notification that they'll only work with Cisco's cloud offering.

And after that, when they've been cycled out in favor of newer hardware, all bets should be off. Instead, Cisco decides to actively contribute to the proliferation of e-waste.

Besides, the licenses for said cloud offering cost about as much as the hardware (if not more!). If they're going to reserve the "right" to destroy hardware for which the customer has already paid, then it's asinine to sell the hardware in the first place; they could and should drop all pretenses and just lease it.

200MB for a bundle? I think that's a little large, but I hope they are going to work on making that smaller.
I think we agree on the points but disagree on what they mean in the larger scope.

I have no qualms with the hybrid govt/contractor approach. I've said elsewhere on this thread that I think both sides can benefit from it. But, to a certain extent, I'm saying that limits Musk's claims to great business acumen, at least outside of relying on large govt contracts. To a certain extent, many on this thread have said that constitutes a type of grift. A grift that requires taxpayer money. I'm playing a little loose with the socialism definition, for sure, but that's what I mean in the larger point.

To that point, there would be no SpaceX without govt funding. One of the reasons they now have commercial customers is because the NASA contracts allowed them to get better to a point where private customers saw them as a viable option. If they didn't have that opportunity with NASA, I don't think they'd have private customers. For one, they likely wouldn't have enough early private customers to be economically viable. And two, those early flights would be much more expensive because they were unproven and that uncertainty makes insuring those flights much more expensive if not impossible. To that extent, a viable SpaceX business model is completely predicated on government contracts and not on private sector capitalism. The govt split the CCP contract to try and spread risk across multiple vendors and essentially fund an upstart in the hope that it pays off.

It's paying off so far, so I'm not saying that's all bad. But it does make their model divorced from a purely capitalistic endeavor. I'm not saying Musk had no skin in the game, but I am saying he had almost nil chance of winning that game without taxpayer support. Other people on this thread have pointed out how that distinction matters when comparing to better examples of business leaders.

>Will you say anybody dealing with US government rides on the backs of taxpayers?

I would say if the business model is only viable with government contracts and is particularly viable because it forces taxpayers to shoulder the early risk, yes. If your business only works by being propped up by the govt, it's a bastardized form of socialism. I'm glad SpaceX is able to move away from that, but let's not revise history to ignore those early facts because they don't fit our preferred narrative of Musk being a clever paragon of capitalism.

The simplest way of framing it is saying, "If they required taxpayer money in order to become/remain viable, it's a form of socialist intervention." I would put a lot of other companies in that list, from automotive to finance, so I'm not just picking on SpaceX.

I am working on a project that uses Lambdas for all our APIs. Our costs are relatively low. Our app will never be FAANG scale; We serve a small market. The organization I am in is relatively new to the cloud and distributed systems. The largest befit of going serverless to me is that AWS does a lot of the heavy lifting, allowing my team focus on understanding our customer’s business needs. We can focus on getting that right instead of spending more on operations and complexity. We’re in three availability zones by default. DynamoDB has been demonstratively proven to scale. With slightly more investment multi-region failovers are easy to achieve. Our team has minimal production outages, which is amazing because we are not cloud experts and are learning as we build out our application.
Yes, absolutely. Proteins can fold to different target structures (that are very distinct from each other) and get stuck in those states for long periods of time, even if the state isn't the global energy minimum.

The list of reasons for this- both functionally and inadvertently- is extremely long. But the long and short of it is that the ability of proteins to reproducibly fold to a single structure was figured out using this technique- putting an already folded protein into a very strong solution (of Urea or guanidinum chloride), detecting that it "unfolded", then putting it back into salty water and watching it reform to the same original structure.

lots more detail here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anfinsen%27s_dogma (this dogma is literally the core of protein folding/structure prediction/function prediction).

Even more detail here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofmeister_series which is basically a series of progressively stronger solutions that interfere with water/protein interactions and disrupt or enhance folding. This data was key to establishing that hydrophobic collapse (one of the dominant models for how proteins spontaneously form structure) is a significant force in driving folding free energy.
