I thought this was a quite a success story, normally I wouldn't compile my own kernel, let alone making code changes. LLMs can be quite empowering! Of course, always keep a backup!
Very likely they use OpenStreetMaps to enrich their data and it's nice to see that they contribute back.
I guess it's personal preference, I don't recall losing context, as I don't let too much of time passed. And I actually ensure nice commits are written before code review otherwise it might be harder for the reviewer to get the context of the changes.
This way, the history would be meaningful instead of it be littered by fix up commits and it makes reverts easy.
I find public transport more expensive compared to minimum wage keeping other countries that I lived before, but the quality is high.
Trains are fast and reliable here and there's continuous improvements on the trains and their tracks. Every year they would announce that decrease in travel time due to improved tracks or higher frequency for some routes.
The only problem is that when something goes wrong extreme weather, signal failure, problem on the tracks in the rush hour, then that route stops working and all neighbouring routes become delayed or overcrowded. Luckily I only experience it every few months.
Right now you can buy Bitcoin via bank transfers which the fee for it can be easily low as you as 5 USD depending on the provider, I buy with fee of 0.1% normally. So the transaction fee in the article is not true anymore.
You can also use bitcoin as a collateral for a loan. If you have bitcoin savings and suddenly you need to cash out temporary you can already do that.
And if you look into news you can see banks and trust funds holding bitcoin as an asset.
The cryptocurrency and decentralised market has to grow, it has a lot of problems, but there's a crazy amount of investments on it so problems are being solved and new things come out every week.
I can actually think of possible/real workloads that would burn 2700 usd out of blue in two days and those customers would not be happy if AWS blocks their account because AWS thinks they did something wrong.
AWS Support quite often happily refunds these amounts and you don't need to post to Twitter. I've seen them refund a lot more.
Why haven't they done something to prevent this mistakes? They already refund these things, it's just those refunds is a drop in bucket compared to services that enterprise customers are paying for, and AWS engineers are busy building for them.
AWS gives you a lot of power compared to what you can do on your average hosting provider, but sadly there's also a lot of room to shoot yourself in the foot if you don't know what you are doing.
- use spot or reserved instances or saving plans. - have a look at compute optimizer - understand aws networking costs are and try to optimise it (cross az and internet egress can be costly) - go through the trusted advisor checks: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/technology/trusted-adv...
You can enable trusted adviser checks by enabling business or enterprise support. - try using one of these cost optimisation tools: https://aws.amazon.com/products/management-tools/partner-sol...
- contact aws for well architected review
If you don't have the time, then I suggest contacting AWS to introduce you to a consulting partner. They can come and actually fix whatever is needed.
