jontro··on Burnt $72k testing Firebase and Cloud Run and almost went bankrupt
Still the really expensive thing here was the datastore reads. Cpu time was only 10% of the bill
jontro··on PHP 8
Still in js "0.2" == "0.20" would always be false. My instinct would be that comparing two different strings would be false in php too.

The problem for me is working with a big legacy codebase. I'd rather have php break backwards compatibility and change === to ==.

jontro··on PHP 8
Is this fixed in php 8? I did not think this was possible as there is no type coercion and not well documented. [1][2]

Noticed "0.2" == "0.20" as another example

jontro··on Stripe Checkout
I would rather think it's in competition with https://www.klarna.com/us/business/products/checkout/ or https://docs.adyen.com/checkout
jontro··on Spotify CEO: musicians can no longer release music only “once every 3-4 years”

Same goes for route53 too unfortunately
jontro··on Amazon Interactive Video Service – Add Live Video to Your Apps and Websites
The FAQ states the following "If you send the maximum 8.5Mbps, 1080p60 stream, Amazon IVS will create 8.5Mbps 1080p60, 3Mbps 720p60, 2Mbps 720p30, 1.2Mbps 480p30, 800Kbps 360p30, and 400Kbps 160p30 renditions in an ABR stream."

I assume you will only be charged for full hd if the client is streaming it

jontro··on Amazon Interactive Video Service – Add Live Video to Your Apps and Websites
Weird that they just not charge for egress as with other services.

Also it seems a lot cheaper, assuming full hd is 1 MB/s. That would mean approx 3.6GB/h which would come out at 0.54$/h in comparison to their 0.15$/h pricing

jontro··on What's New in Lua 5.4
The tilde ~ char is pretty annoying to type on swedish keyboards at least. Alt + ¨ and a space on my mac. Having to type this regularly on my main languages would be off putting
jontro··on How to Build a Biotech
Does biotech only have to do with drug development? What about other areas like water cleaning etc, wouldn't that be considered biotech as well?
jontro··on Haproxy 2.2
Here is the announcement blogpost https://www.haproxy.com/blog/announcing-haproxy-2-2/
jontro··on AWS App2Container
If you want to containerize a java app check out jib. Really easy to use and integrates well with gradle

jontro··on Cleaning algorithm finds 20% of errors in major image recognition datasets
Weird behaviour on pinch to zoom (macbook). It scrolls instead of zooming and when swiping back nothing happens.

Another example of why you should never mess with the defaults unless strictly necessary.

jontro··on How to SSH Properly
How is ssh certificates the next level up? Feels like the added complexity of using this is might be worthwhile for larger orgs but maybe not smaller shops
jontro··on We are pausing upcoming Chrome and Chrome OS releases
Google Play Store app publishing is delayed as well. Currently the message says:

jontro··on The Wall, a modular microLED display
Sony displayed something similar at CES a couple of years ago. Didn't notice it until I stood very close. https://pro.sony/en_MK/products/led-video-walls
jontro··on The Wall, a modular microLED display
A power draw of 130w per module(incl. cabinet) will give you a nice usage of 2kW in the standard configuration.
jontro··on Urgent and Important – Rotate Your Amazon RDS, Aurora, and DocumentDB Certs
The Ningxia region might not support encryption. That one was released in 2017. Unsure about this one.
jontro··on Urgent and Important – Rotate Your Amazon RDS, Aurora, and DocumentDB Certs
For mysql at least you need to specify what CA or cert to trust. There is no default CA which mysql will try to use. So once a CA expires you will have to rotate it
jontro··on Urgent and Important – Rotate Your Amazon RDS, Aurora, and DocumentDB Certs
It's because those regions were created after the 2019 certificate was released. Hence there is no 2015 cert for those. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Using...
jontro··on ISO week date
Yeah, there is a lot of languages missing iso week support. Probably because it's not used in the US as much. Found this gist for getting using it in Power BI a couple of weeks ago https://gist.github.com/r-k-b/18d898e5eed786c9240e3804b167a5...
