iddqd··on Serverless: slower and more expensive
> For us it would have been better if we could just put a normal load balancer in front of Lambda.

This can be done.

iddqd··on Introduction to Event-Driven Architectures with RabbitMQ
Imagine if you flipped on debug logging and suddenly your queueing system gets DDoS by log messages, causing more errors and cascading effects, taking down your product. It’s always a good idea to separate the two.
iddqd··on Introduction to Event-Driven Architectures with RabbitMQ
You might be better off focusing on improving fault tolerance instead of trying to hunt down the root cause.
iddqd··on Jaguar and Audi SUVs Fail to Dent Tesla’s Electric-Car Dominance
Tesla owners will have access to both networks.
iddqd··on Liftbridge: Lightweight, fault-tolerant message streams
> Basically we needed something similar semantic to a load balancer, but in messaging form.

Why not stick with a load balancer? I've been struggling to find a good use case for request-response over message queues so I'm curious.

iddqd··on The Scene: Pirates Ripping Content from Amazon and Netflix
In some countries there’s multiple version of each season as well (e.g. original & dubbed) making it even messier.
iddqd··on Global Passport Power Rank 2019
If you are a "high net worth investor", the creators of the site (Arton Capital) seems happy to help.
iddqd··on Apple is making corporate ‘BYOD’ programs less invasive to user privacy
I just read through the list of profiles that my employer installed on the device, decided they were not invasive and then started using it as my normal phone.
iddqd··on MDS: Microarchitectural Data Sampling side-channel vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs
Here is a similar windows tool: https://www.grc.com/inspectre.htm
iddqd··on Tesla Posts Big Quarterly Loss as Its Electric-Car Sales Lag
Self driving robo taxi service operational next year.
iddqd··on Amazon Pulls Out of Planned New York City Campus
They probably found a better deal somewhere else.
iddqd··on How I Built a $5K a Month Side Project
Not a fan of how they portray their brand, but in my experience A&F makes really solid fits for althetic type build (think big thighs). This in my experience is really hard to find on clothes of a somewhat modern cut.
iddqd··on Chromium blacklists Nouveau
They are making Chrome work for nouveau users by disabling the hardware acceleration.
iddqd··on Ask HN: Go-to web stack today?
A lot of the startups we build we start off with a Vue stack for the Frontend and a Kotlin + Spring Boot stack for the backend, running on k8s and with Postgres as a DB. Incredibly productive stack from day one and something that can be confidently built upon for years.
iddqd··on Ask HN: Did you delete your Facebook account in 2018?
Just did, thanks for the reminder. Had to first show my parents some alternative ways of messaging me outside of Facebook, but no I’m all set.
iddqd··on Pivotal launches serverless framework that works across clouds and on-prem
That's funny, I've set up the infrastructure for 3 startups with exactly that stack over the last year and a half, works wonders and is very flexible.
iddqd··on Facebook's seized files published by MPs
I'll happily chip in a dollar a year or so.
iddqd··on Intel's New Low: Commissioning Misleading Core I9-9900K Benchmarks [video]
I like that the "Game mode" makes the AMD CPU's perform worse in game benchmarks...
iddqd··on AWS Service Operator for Kubernetes Now Available
For me, this is the most exciting thing AWS has launched in a while!
iddqd··on Amazon EKS – Now Generally Available
When setting up production clusters via kops on AWS I opt for c4.large instances for the master, which with a HA quorum costs $250/month. If you use the default master instance type in kops, m3.medium, it's around $174/month. I fail to see the problem with AWS charging $150/month for a fully managed alternative.
iddqd··on Hello, GitHub
I wonder if they timed this announcement with the Apple keynote.
iddqd··on GDPR and Google Analytics
You can serve web content without storing the IP address of the user. If you need to use it for anonymous correlation of requests, you can hash it first.
iddqd··on GDPR and Google Analytics
You can still set up a site and not have to worry about much, as long as you're not processing other peoples personally identifiable information without their explicit consent.
iddqd··on Microsoft doubles down on Kubernetes for Azure
One of the re:Invent talk descriptions referenced something called "Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (EKS)". Make of that what you will.
iddqd··on Remotely tunneling to a server using an iPad Pro for programming
"Remote server as main computing device for programming"
iddqd··on Spotify’s Discover Weekly: How machine learning finds new music
I used to listen exclusively to Discover Weekly for a while. One week a finish rap song made it to the list, and I skipped past it every time it came on. Next week there was 2 finish rap songs. Then 5. Eventually half of my discovery list was finish rap, something I have no interest of. Canceled my subscription shortly after. Their algorithms are feeding themselves. I wish they had a dislike button so I could at least give them some sense of direction.
iddqd··on Amazon Is Testing Its Own Delivery Service to Rival FedEx and UPS
Amazon Logistics has been running for quite a while in Germany, and for me it's looks like it's a disaster. Every order is like a lottery. If your package gets assigned to DHL, you're almost guaranteed to get it on time. If you get Amazon Logistics, you should be happy if it shows up at all.
iddqd··on Colony: A platform for open organizations
This is a good start: http://truffleframework.com
iddqd··on Still locked out of my AWS account
AWS requires a different email address per account yes. I don't see how it's bad? In your case, if you lost access to one gmail account with a dozen AWS accounts attached to it, that would affect all your AWS accounts? Better to have them fully separated so they can't affect each other.
iddqd··on Still locked out of my AWS account
Might sound obvious in hindsight, but _always_ create separate AWS accounts for your different projects.
