It was pretty clear to me. AWS is Web Services after all

The ANC doesn't work on non iOS or macOS/iPadOS devices, though. Holding the stalk won't work

AWS uses the TLD internally
zoover2020··on Show HN: Turn Markdown into React/Svelte/Vue UI at runtime, zero build step
I've used similar software before and it surprises you how many open source dependencies I've seen in enterprise
zoover2020··on Show HN: Turn Markdown into React/Svelte/Vue UI at runtime, zero build step
This is great and all but won't scale (as in, enterprise scale). I understand the knee-jerk reaction but at this point it misses the point about what is trying to be achieved here
zoover2020··on The ROI of Exercise
Amen. What is the routine that works for you?

Love the description!

Sorry this is just not true. ASINs can be the same cross marketplace. There are lower level identifiers available if needed
zoover2020··on PHP-ORT: Machine learning inference for the web
Anyone who cafés about security would stay away from PHP. Certainly more than 22% of the web.
zoover2020··on The impact of file position on code review
Can't seem to get anyone else to Baird the train of small CRs. It's so obvious
zoover2020··on A software conference that advocates for quality
Why would you skip unit tests? Especially in the AI age. You can quickly verify your behavior. Also, by not writing them you're also missing out on opportunities to modularize your code.

Obviously, this assumes you write enterprise grade code. YMMV

zoover2020··on IDF officers ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near Gaza food distribution sites
Exactly. Clear astroturfing to hide war crimes is not going unnoticed anymore.
zoover2020··on Simpler Backoff
I second this, retry mechanisms can cause retry storms in vast enough, distributed systems. In Amazon code bases I found the same adaptive retry strategy after a Christmas where once we played whack-a-mole for a service to get back up as its clients kept retrying.

zoover2020··on On Not Carrying a Camera – Cultivating memories instead of snapshots
Tangentially related: on each trip I make, I try my best to get a run in on Strava during which I explore a city or area with one or two pictures I make _during_ the run.

They're my favorite memories. NY's Central Park, London's Hyde Park, Norway's fjords, Barcelona's beaches... The best part is that these feel like very tangible memories and take zero physical space to store!

zoover2020··on Elon Musk's robotaxi fantasy is starting to unravel
It's fair to question some of Elon's statements but the article is outright misinformed. The parameters are for tweaking models to handle things like snow or ice better, also, real geofencing helps in rolling out features.

Find the article rather weak and just blatant criticism, expected better.

zoover2020··on A love letter to the CSV format
Perhaps the popularity,or lack thereof? More often than not, the bad standard wins the long term market
zoover2020··on The Einstein AI Model
I've tried Dutch answers and it is more than happy to hallucinate and give me answers that are very "American". Doesn't help that our culture is very inspired by the US pop culture as well since the internet.

Haven't tried prompt engineering with the Dutch stereotype, though.

zoover2020··on How much traffic can a pre-rendered Next.js site handle?
It's not that straightforward for SSR applications, however yes SSG is offered by a lot of frameworks and next's build times are horrendous in 2025. I'm glad to see the status quo changing
zoover2020··on 20 years working on the same software product
I find it wonderful. As the author mentions in the original post, his code does not have a lot of bugs and is mostly feature complete as well.

I think most people never get to work with such software as we need to launch $NEXT_PROJECT

zoover2020··on To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell
Ironically, have you tried any modern vehicle with good software? I can install updates at any point in time as long as they're downloaded through my, uh, Tesla app.
zoover2020··on To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell
Thanks for bringing this to light. The days of objective discussions are over unfortunately, even on HN. Too much political stuff.
zoover2020··on To buy a Tesla Model 3, only to end up in hell
The issue with these reliability tests is that they operate on old(er) models. At the end of 2023, the Model 3 was upgraded during a refresh. It roughly received 40% new parts, and is a substantially better value-for-money.

Clearly there are still some things to iron out, and I personally know folks with a few problems in the new model, but as a 2024 M3 owner with zero problems I hate the one-sided online communication surrounding this.

I'm not condoning Elon's behavior at all, but this vehicle is such an insane value for money especially with EV rebates and such. Purely saying Tesla is bad quality is such an easy trope, especially if you have never driven in one

+1 - parent commenter clearly takes too easily of an offense here. Even the French people in my inntercircle agree that there is some level of elitism.
