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

That's a lot of mental gymnastics to say 24h clock is easier

AWS uses the TLD internally

I've used similar software before and it surprises you how many open source dependencies I've seen in enterprise

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

Amen. What is the routine that works for you?

Sorry this is just not true. ASINs can be the same cross marketplace. There are lower level identifiers available if needed

Anyone who cafés about security would stay away from PHP. Certainly more than 22% of the web.

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

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 — Mon, 05 May 2025 08:59:18 +0000

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 — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 22:12:11 +0000

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.
