Thank you, happy Thanksgiving.
ianred··on macOS 26 Tahoe's Dead Canary Utility App Icons
The wrench is proportionally and esthetically all wrong. Where do they get their designs and designers from.
ianred··on Show HN: BloomSearch – Keyword search with hierarchical Bloom filters
Library/package with AGPL license, not a great thing even for a lot of FOSS projects.
ianred··on AWS Lambda Silent Crash – A Platform Failure, Not an Application Bug [pdf]
The title should have been: AWS Lambda Works as Expected – An Application Architectural Bug [pdf]

If the designer expects a reliable system that guarantees processing of the request after the return of the status, they cannot rely on a server to not crash the moment the response was sent to the wire. Serverless enforces this well, yet people try to force their view of infinitely reliable infrastructure, which is not based in reality.

ianred··on Deno Deploy Beta 4
The pricing does not seem to be competitive with services like Cloudflare, given that you also charged for bandwidth. A little disappointing since I was considering using them for some of my projects. I hope there will be features in the future to give them a more competitive advantage. Otherwise, I love it!
