I get the point that they tried to make, but this comparison between "AWS administrators" and "Linux on-premises server administrators" is beyond apple-and-oranges and is actually completely meaningless.

A team does not use AWS because it provides compute. AWS, even when using barebonea EC2 instances, actually means on-demand provisioning of computational resources with the help of infrastructure-as-code services. A random developer logs into his AWS console, clicks a few buttons, and he's already running a fully instrumented service with logging and metrics a click away. He can click another button and delete/shut down everything. He can click on a button again and deploy the same application in multiple continents with static files provided through a global CDN, deployed with a dedicated pipeline. He clicks on another button again and everything is shut down again.

How do you pull that off with "Linux on-premises server administrators"? You don't.

At most, you can get your Linux server administrators to manage their hardware with something like OpenStack, but they would be playing the role of the AWS engineers that your "AWS administrators" don't even know exist. However, anyone who works with AWS only works on the abstraction layers above that which a "Linux on premises administrator" works on.
It was a pit bull, as one would expect. Their toddler is lucky to be alive. Getting it out of their home is one of the more rational parts of the article, although you would think they would have put some effort into finding another home for it instead of just killing it.
Is this well known to be safe and trustworthy?
That's surprising to me. I can't imagine what it would even mean to live your life at the lower abstraction levels, since those are things like molecules, cells, and muscle fibres.

I'm tempted to interpret your reply as saying you operate on a more detailed level than the average person, rather than the most detailed, but I don't want to put words in your mouth.
Is this not addressed in section 'Server Admins' of the article?
For many people, feeling like one has exhibited kindness is a strong reward.
Our experience hasn’t been THAT bad but we did waste a lot of time in weekly meetings with AWS “solutions architects” who knew next to nothing about AWS aside from a shallow, salesman-like understanding. They make around $150k too, by the way. I tried to apply to be one, but AWS wants someone with more sales experience and they don’t really care about my AWS certs
I don't agree with the parent that it's okay to lie about the health effects of a drug just because you want it legalized, but I feel like you missed the forest for the trees here.

When a drug is stigmatized in the United States, it is essentially impossible to get it legalized without showing there is a medical use for it. That's just how it is. If your goal is to get a drug legalized, it does not matter whether that's how it should be, or whether this is all rooted in systemic discrimination, or whether pharmaceutical companies push stuff that's just as bad under their veil of legitimacy. Citizens who are anti-drug are under the impression right now that ~100% of illicit drugs are extremely dangerous and a major threat to their community, and they are not going to sit around and listen to a history lesson philosophizing about how all their fears are a propagandized illusion.

Even if you got them to listen, they would just say "Why risk it?" The only way to start changing minds is to point out there are upsides to drug legalization beyond just "freedom is good." That's why all of the arguments for legalization focus on health/therapeautic benefits, either directly from the drugs themselves or in the ability to treat those who need help with addiction.

Hmm, no?

Photos are generally <1MB in size and I think have a single photo sent but not received on average per user seems reasonable (most users probably almost never use Signal, and of those that do probably most only use text, and those that use photos probably most don't send more than one or a few per day).

Videos are probably relatively rare and if not maybe they should do something about them, like not storing overly large ones them on servers and requiring both phones to be online to transfer.

> If we knew that a Starship design would definitely work (i.e can it reach orbit? can it come back down? can all of the complexity be managed well enough to make it economically feasible?) then someone would have done it already.

This reminds me of the two economists out walking who find what looks like a dollar bill on the sidewalk. One is about to pick it up when the other says "If the dollar bill were really there, someone would have picked it up already".

Joking aside, you can apply the same "someone would have done it already" logic to landing used boosters and reusing them repeatedly. Reusability has been thought about in rocketry/space travel since before orbital flight was possible; every pre-1957 science-fiction story about spaceships assumed that they could be used repeatedly. Von Braun's hugely influential 1950s articles about spaceflight assumed that reusable winged boosters would launch his reusable winged ferry rocket shuttles. And yet, no one tried to land a booster this way until SpaceX, 60 years after the first orbital launch.

I don't think this post is actually that representative of the field.

Fretting over the binary size of string constants is not something I've ever seen. Generally if you don't have enough flash to store strings, you also don't have a use for strings. You won't be logging to external memory or to serial. If you have that little flash, you generally also have very few CPU cycles. Logging of any sort would take up a huge percentage of your CPU cycles and you won't have anything left to run the application. Not to mention the RAM, which is usually much much smaller than flash.

The problem posed in TFA isn't really a problem. If you need continual logging, you must use a chip with more CPU, which almost always means more memory. If you have a chip with 512B of flash and 128B of RAM, you don't need logging.

Exceptions apply, of course, but this is a case of wrong tool for the wrong problem.

OP seems to be saying that the logging code has to be in a macro. But it doesn't: it can be in a function that's called by a macro. It's the difference between having the logging code in a macro:

#define LOG(...)\
do{\
if(g_logging_enabled){\
printf("%s:%d: ",__FILE__,__LINE__);\
printf(__VA_ARGS__);\
}\
}while(0)

And having the logging code in a function called by a macro:

extern void Log(const char*file,int line,const char*fmt,...);
#define LOG(...) (g_logging_enabled?Log(__FILE__,__LINE__,__VA_ARGS__):(void)0))

With the Log function being along these lines:

void Log(const char*file,int line,const char*fmt,...){
printf("%s:%d: ",file,line);
va_list v;
va_start(v,fmt);
vprintf(fmt,v);
va_end(v);
}

(This logging code is deliberately simple; in a realistic system, this would be pages of junk dealing with all manner of log categories, log levels, multiple enable flags and their overrides, log target handling, and whatnot. Absolutely the sort of thing that is 0 fun to keep track of in a macro, even before you consider the fact that it's a ton of code to be pasting everywhere you want to log a string.)

This is the voice of someone who has never actually ended up with a big AWS estate.

You don't click to start and stop. You start with someone negotiating credits and reserved instance costs with AWS. Then you have to keep up with spending commitments. Sometimes clicking stop will cost you more than leaving shit running.

It gets to the point where $50k a month is indistinguishable from the noise floor of spending.

They will not and cannot win until we have cheap, highly dense, efficient power storage. That is, unfortunately, at least 20 years off (if we're lucky).

No, that's not an alternative avenue for reporting serious issues, because that only applies to "material breaches" (i.e. the vulnerability was not only exploitable but actually exploited, and the attack did damage, and the damage is so large that it makes a difference to the financials of the company) so someone has to commit a bunch of felonies before the issue becomes reportable to SEC, and reporting it is not a magic get-out-of-jail-free card.

And if some script kiddie in a VDP says "pay me or I'll actually exploit the vulnerability so that it'll be a material breach", well, just sending that message is attempted extortion right there, threatening to commit a felony.
So when humanity eventually runs out of fossil fuels and uranium ores, we're just going to go back to the pre-industrial era?

You can build an entirely solar/wind-powered storage and distribution center capable of putting out 1 GW of power 24/7 with modern PV panels, wind turbines, battery storage, hydrogen storage, etc. It's entirely feasible, and although costs for such a system are high (comparable to that of a 1 GW nuclear power plant), those costs are steadily falling and the long-terms costs are much lower as you don't need to acquire uranium fuel or store the hot waste.

Yes! This reminds me strongly of the core/modules architecture of the apache httpd, as described by the excellent O'Reilly book on it.

The process of serving an HTTP request is broken into a large number of fine grained stages and plugin modules may hook into any or all of these to modify the input and output to each stage.

The same basic idea makes it easy to turn any application concept into a modules-and-core architecture. From the day I read (skimmed) that book a decade or two ago this pattern has been burned into my brain

Out of curiosity, why would you have to be so efficient in an elevator?

An elevator I imagine costs big $$$, has no lack of power, and plenty room for electronics.
Yeah, that's part of it. The other part is that you can move stuff that is working, and working well, into on-prem (or colo) if it is designed well and portable. If everything is running in containers, and orchestration is already configured, and you aren't using AWS or cloud provider specific features, portability is not super painful (modulo the complexity of your app, and the volume of data you need to migrate). Clearly this team did the assessment, and the savings they achieved by moving to on-prem was worthwhile.

That doesn't preclude continuing to use AWS and other cloud service as a click-ops driven platform for experimentation, and requiring that anything that is targeting production to refactored to run in the bare-metal environment. At least two shops I worked at previously have used that as a recurring model (one focusing on AWS, the other on GCP) for stuff that was in prototyping or development.
