> It emits an event, then immediately returns a response — meaning it always reports success (201), regardless of whether the downstream email handler succeeds or fails.

It should be understood that after Lambda returns a response the MicroVM is suspending, interrupting your background HTTP request. There is zero guarantee that the request would succeed.

Okay, but then you implement storage of the refresh token and build this bespoke JWT re-issuance logic. So where's the win here? Just use sessions.

The Government taking action against a citizen for voicing opinions it does not agree with falls pretty clearly into what the 1st amendment covers. This is not a "yelling fire in a crowded theater" type scenario where speech is being restricted for the benefit of many.

5.5% of what, dmm?

> the Minnesota healthcare behemoth reported adjusted profit of $25.7 billion — an all-time record.

No, I don't believe that's at all what was happening. I really recommend reading the original compliant[1]. TCS was leveraging their employees with access to CSC's documentation and source code to glean information about how a particular feature was implemented, _not_ for supporting Transamerica, but for reimplementing the feature in their own product.

From paragraph 29 of the compliant:

> A TCS employee, who upon information and belief is part of the U.S. BaNCS development team, wrote in an email: “Quite honestly, I’m not sure how VTG [Vantage] does this today, so maybe we should engage [TCS employees with access to the Vantage source code] if we want to emulate that?”

The complaint goes on to describe the engineers sending the actual source code to the team. This is pretty clear cut theft IMO.

> We did consider caching clones, but it has security implications and adds complexity, so we decided not to. It is certainly not trivial to do and not something we are likely to do based on this issue.

Drew continues to act as though he is always correct, and any viewpoint that isn't his is just moronic. I've repeatedly seen this behavior from him in multiple venues over the years, and I'm happy to see the wider community start calling this out as childish.

Really missing a key word from the title there, OP.

Ah yes, that's absolutely what it is, not an attempt to match what is already standard on every Apple laptop.

From the original article:

> Picking her words carefully, she said work is being done towards “moving from a more text-based, email-based, or not even moving from, but having a text-based, email-based patch system that can then also be represented in a way that developers who have grown up in the last five or ten years are more familiar with."

That seems like an entirely fair statement to make for somebody who is on the board of The Linux Foundation.

> Based on these results, we are planning to use these instances to power Amazon EMR, Elastic Load Balancing, Amazon ElastiCache, and other AWS services.

Amazon running their PaaS services on top of their own silicon is really an interesting prospect. I wonder how much hardware is allocated to running their platform services vs. EC2 instances for customers, as there's definitely an opportunity for Amazon to port these workloads and decrease the dependence on Intel.

Oh, please enlighten me, Drew.

Are device manufacturers supporting Linux?

No it doesn't, last time I checked to even get the recommended usb wifi module to work on Arch required downloading additional packages and compiling a kernel module.

Cool let me know how you handle explaining why they can't run some exe they downloaded on your GNU/Linux setup, and when they complain that they're used to Microsoft Word not this LibreOffice stuff.

But excuse me this HN comment (last line, with the insensitive remark) is super cringe-inducing. Horrible.
