> The New Horizons spacecraft [...] reached Pluto in 2016 and is currently exploring other distant features of the system [...]. Keeping it running today by receiving its transmitted data and making sure it remains on course costs about $14.7 million a year, or less than 2% of its total price tag.
Does anyone know why this would be so expensive? A slice of Deep Space Network time must be expensive but it still sounds like an outrageous figure to me.
> S3 Express One Zone delivers data access speed up to 10x faster and request costs up to 50% lower than S3 Standard [0]
The critical difference seems to be in availability (1 AZ)

I ask because last time I checked, S3 wouldn't let you "patch" an object. So you'd have to push the diff as separate objects and then "reconstruct" the original file client-side as different chunks are read, right?
We're working on a radically easier way for programmers to automate tasks, build utilities and internal tools. More info: https://membrane.io
We're a small team looking to hire a Founding Engineer who can wear many hats (as we all do), someone who is passionate about building high-performance systems. Extra points if you're confident digging deep into large codebases like VSCode, QuickJS.
Stack: Egui, QuickJS, Wasmtime, Kubernetes, SQLite, Postgres, VSCode.
Interested? Reach out: juan <at> membrane.io
Here's the developer's wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Blow
He created The Witness after Braid, which is another excellent game. He's been creating his own programming language for the past few years called Jai.
