Things get really confusing when you also use SAP R/3, migrating it to S/4: "So the S/4 gets some of its data from R/3 via S3 and writes reports to R2 which are used for a consolidated view in R/3 as long as the analysis isn't migrated to S/4 which will get all data via S3."

This is all happening in Q4 at https://www.q2.com/, of course.

Meanwhile Microsoft is just like...let's called it "Blob"

I'll never not link this video when it comes to Microsoft naming and branding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUXnJraKM3k

That was fun and a good throwback.

But it was interesting to see in the comments that MS actually claimed credit for it:

"It was an internal-only video clip commissioned by our packaging [team] to humorously highlight the challenges we have faced RE: packaging and to educate marketers here about the pitfalls of packaging/branding"

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P."

U.S.A. The land of acronyms...

Initialisms.

On Azure you can file a ticket and an engineer will be blowing up your phone in short order. That's on the developer plan. The expensive enterprise planes are the exact same support only faster with a guaranteed SLA. Azure smokes AWS on docs, community, and support. Just my experience...over and over again. I'm at a huge high profile company where we have dedicated AWS staff. We have a dedicated email address at AWS…

> Azure smokes AWS on docs, community, and support. Just my experience...over and over again. Great. If only their tech stack was at the same level. In terms of support (filing tickets) we can generally get on a call with AWS in a matter of minutes. If there's one thing that's annoying, is the status page. We'll often get notified of outages by our account rep way before there's anything in the status page.

If only their tech stack was at the same level.

No joke. Sometimes I appreciate the way Azure has chosen to differentiate itself in terms of developer experience.

Then there are times using it when I want to walk into an ocean.

Interestingly, those times seem to be anytime I have to deal with Application Insights or LogAnalytics. Azure, if anyone working on those two products are reading this, y’all need to go read up on this thing called ‘correlation’ because the Azure native logging and APM is…

whistles

boy.

It’s something. I just love waiting 5-15 minutes just to see a log line, if I even see it at all with how routinely problematic and unstable their logging infrastructure is[1]

This is some great content marketing by Taloflow. Having not paid attention to this story I didn’t realize they chose R because it was one letter behind S in the alphabet. If Cloudflare was a smaller company they’d probably get sued pretty fast. That has happened for much sillier and vain reasons. But I doubt there’s much to gain via the courts in the current state of things. This seems to be standard price competiti…

Judge: What does S3 even stand for?

Amazon: Simple Storage Solutions, sir.

Judge: Ok, and what does R2 stand for?

CF: Uhhh....it's one less than S3, sir.

Judge: Ok, and what does R2D2 stand for?

Lucas: Why am I here?

"Xbox One X Series X Service Pack 1 September Refresh CTP Preview 3 Update 5a*. I mean, imma buy it, but lord MSFT sucks at naming stuff" [0] "I once worked on the unambiguously named "Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Tools For Microsoft Office .NET System 2005". Yes, it had "Microsoft" and ".NET" in the name twice. When the name was announced we all laughed as we assumed it was a joke. It was not." [1] [0] https://nitte…

Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Tools For Microsoft Office .NET System 2005 was pretty great at the time, being able to automate Excel in C# and not have to use VBA was very nice.

If consumers are so likely to confuse "S3" and "R2" that a court would grant trademark enforcement to S3 over this, then Mazda could have successfully sued BMW over the confusion between MX-2 and M3, not to mention the total havoc such a court judgment would wreak upon the SMT labeling industry: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28777350 If Cloudflare had an entire AWS-simulation business and was making a clear ef…

AFAIK, you can describe a product as "just like AWS, only not Amazon" without any problem as long as you are clear enough that it's not Amazon, and that "like" is really "like".
