At AWS, the hierarchy of service priorities is crystal clear: Security, Durability, and Availability. In that order. Durability, the assurance that data will not be lost, is a corn…

I misread the article when it stated: > Traffic regularly exceeded 1,500 queries per second (QPS) at peak times It may be quite cost prohibitive to use a managed service like AWS G…

While HTTP3 does provide some improvements, it's clear that further optimizations are needed, particularly for users in Europe and Asia. One potential solution that hasn't been dis…

I’m familiar with Lambda and DynamoDB. When I left in 2022 they both had strong automated or semi-automated AZ evacuation stories. I’m not that familiar with S3, but I never notice…

When I worked at AWS there was a similar scenario in eu-west-2. There was a fire in one of the availability zones (AZs). The fire suppression system kicked in and flooded the data …

In a technical blog or dashboard I like to see 1) avg mean (for throughput estimates), 2) p50 (typical customer / typical load), 3) p90 / p99 / p99.99 (whatever you think your tail…

If you walk as if you’re happy, talk as if you’re happy, and quack like a happy person, then you are happy. This is the Way.

> the best you can do is write a thread pool that spawns a Tokio LocalSet to run !Send futures Can you go into this a bit more or provide a code reference? I'm new to writing async…

Congratulations! I did the exact same thing; made an app to help name my first child. I've slowly developed a method which incorporates 1) culture, 2) popularity in different count…

FWIW Amazon / AWS also use YubiKeys.

I haven’t read the paper. But if the researchers were bringing in children regularly for testing involving eye tracking equipment, why not also test their ability to manipulate phy…

There is a quote from Jeff Bezos: "Good intentions never work, you need good mechanisms to make anything happen.". Hence at Amazon (ideally) any suggestion that a manual step or bu…

You are correct, I misread this.

API Gateway came out with a cheaper variant (called HTTP APIs, admittedly a poor name) that is $1 per 300 million requests (114 requests per second for a month): https://aws.amazon…

I successfully used Rust to create a shared library in a Flutter project that works on both iOS and Android. So far I've only published the iOS app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/e…

I agree that AWS doesn't yet provide a clean all-in-one package for static website hosting. I think AWS Amplify Console [1] is the current official "all-in-one" service but I haven…

When would you want to block as you insert tasks into an ExecutorService already executing N concurrent tasks? Why not use "newFixedThreadPool" and don't block but stil keep a maxi…

If you're on Mac just create a sparse encrypted DMG using Disk Utility, put it into Dropbox, bam you're done. http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/07/05/mac-dropbox-encrypted-vo... I pref…

I might be being pedantic, but the only mention of 2FA in the OP is: "As a security conscious user who follows the best practices like: using unique passwords, 2FA, only using a se…

You can register for domains through AWS Route 53 and it'll automagically register on Gandi with WHOIS protection and link it up inside Route 53. You then don't need to leave the A…

For the deep learning vertex the OP states: "At the right vertex, we have Breiman's know-nothing approach—high-capacity models like neural nets, decision forests, and nonparametric…

I was also concerned about this when I was looking into Arq, so I wrote a cross-platform restoration tool that'll also work on Windows and Linux (not just Mac): https://github.com/…
