> Offline is very hard. A lot of bugs happened due to trying to make Horizon v1 work with flaky or very slow connections, and losing transactional consistency as a result. The SOTA…

Wouldn't that require a responsible body (ie a CA) to verify who they say are. Not sure that's needed for SSH

Docker is not a trust boundary CMV

Kind of hard to determine if you're a UK tax resident without some details, no?

No-one uses Elastic Beanstalk -- use ECS instead. With ECS Copilot you can do it in 1/2 commands.

Doubtful, especially on a 3G/4G connection. You're not an average user if you're on a Gigabit connection running the latest CPU

Nah this page load instantly for me, I like it. All Bootstrap websites look the same to me.

Appreciate it's just an MVP but I think there's a good niche you can go down. Big Data on AWS is such a pain to set-up (Glue, EMR, RedShift, LakeFormation), with IAM policies and r…

Just boils down to not optimising until you need to. Start with a 3 tier web app (unless your requirements lead you to another solution), then start with read replicas, load balanc…

GitHub/Gitlab allow you to rebase your commits when merging. We do that, but has the disadvantage of mucking up things for people who are using that commit. I personally think it’s…

That's the point. It's so they can pressure their government

No company is going to touch Virtualbox without a 10ft barge pole. The licensing is so easy to get wrong and before you know it you’re writing a cheque to Oracle’s legal department…

But wait until your master worker falls over and you have to promote your read replica. RDS handles everything for me, I just have to monitor it and be ready for any alerts from Pr…

> RDS. It’s slow and super expensive. I don’t want to worry about one-off queries or migrations. If you use only 5% of your server capacity you can afford to do inefficient things …

I made a minimal Jekyll theme. No advanced CSS or extra JS, and super light weight so any page loads quickly https://github.com/lewisrobbins/sebasic

This is only a good thing for us. More demand/competition should mean wages rise

Am doing it in Haskell. Every year I do it in Haskell, and then promptly forget half the language until I start it in December again

Don't create a Github account with your name then?

How can you protect yourself from file upload threats? It's basically the worst possible threat model -- executing complex user input that conforms to a spec that was written 20 ye…

We use Typescript and jest for the mocks. Probably about 10%, they’re very simple mocks, all they do is return success and in a few unit tests we make them return failure and then …

I prefer mocking my AWS calls, so much more lightweight and means exert developer doesn’t have to install local stack

Antifragile - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

You go on to AWS for their managed services like Fargate, DynamoDB, ECS, S3 etc. Have used OpenShift in the past and had endless problems with cluster stability (especially in 3.x)…

The VLSI I took for my EE degree was the hardest course by far. I did a digital logic project and the amount of time I spent looking at my traces and trying to figure out what went…

Doesn’t AWS Amplify basically do the same thing? That’s how I deploy my static site
