I initially expected a horrible amount of flamewar tinder, but it is an Overton Window expanding Art Project and I love it!The Cardio rate control library is cool, https://pkg.go.dev/within.website/x/cardio this library would be a great problem for using a neural net to model a PID loop.What does that last bit mean lol, I've wanted to learn more about neural network shit but I don't know enough to know what I don't know.

I'm not part of this subculture, but I honesty enjoy this type of idonsyncratic presentation which always was, and hopefully always will be part of hacker culture.The content is not only relevant and hilarious, but I'd much rather personal blogs like this keep being updated instead of seeing the the sterile Medium or LinkedIn Pulse versions, usually written to impress future employers.Zany visuals, doing things with your friends just because you can and writing up detailed accounts of it to share with everyone is the quintessential hacker culture. If Hacker's Cyberdelia was set in the 2020s, no doubt Mara would fit in.The incredible part is that my blog does actually impress future employers. Most of the cursed things I do are really to write about how they work from a theoretical level so that I can teach people computer science fundamentals purely by shitposting. Every time I get upvoted I only get more powerful.

What if there was a way you could reduce that cost for your own services by up to 700%?How can something be reduced over 100% What is it that they actually mean here?Look, my napkins only have so much room for math, sometimes the numbers fuck up.

Given that Corey Quinn is involved, I’m surprised that route 53 isn’t included somewhere (or maybe it is, I’m still reading through it)Part 2.

I know of a Famous Large Company that used email as their message queue to synchronize the data across two of their large systems.It's a perfectly apt message queue, just a bit heavyweight. But if it's "light enough", it comes "for free" with many OSes.TBH, email is actually a fairly ideal message queue for many usecases. Not to mention the debuggability angle (you already know how to use an email client).

You could do even better if you out-of-band signal the readiness so you do not need to poll while idle. Then you only incur a cost while actively transmitting so as long as you average 300 Mb/s on the channel you should be coming out even or ahead with minimal latency impact.Article says that. Boom. Roasted.

This is astoundingly well-written and informative. It's the sort of thing I come here for. It's also engaging and charming in a way rarely seen in tech writing.I like that they started out by talking about $0.07/G cost and went through the whole exercise before pointing out what immediately came to mind for me when they started pushing bytes in and out of S3.

I once used a MySQL database as a replacement for a message queue. This was the easiest solution to implement since all the servers were already connected to the database anyways. A server would write a new row to the table and all the servers would remember the last row they had already seen. Occasionally the table is cleared. I'm sure there are some race conditions in the system but its only purpose is to send Discord notifications when someone breaks a highscore in a video game, so its not really critical. It's still working that way today.Sometimes the best tool for the job is the one in front of you

A famous financial news paper used an FTP server as its kafka "fan in" node.It was so old that the 1u case started to droop in the middle. (it was an sparc something or other with real SCSI ultra 320 drives in them)

As a junior dev I used folder pairs (to_process and processed) as a way to move messages between loosely coupled systems with file system watchers picking up new files in the to_process folder. Very light weight, got the job done, and was told it was in production for over a decade (even after better best practices came into use).In the Halo series, the human factions still use guns with bullets. If it hurts, it works.

I'd like to offer an alternate take. I enjoy your writing, but the constant cringing at the furry stuff is tremendously distracting and makes me enjoy it a lot less.I'm sure there are non-sexual furries but the subculture is primarily a sexual one (same as with BDSM) so the effect to me as a reader is approximately equivalent to someone giving a technical talk at a conference in BDSM gear. It overshadows the content.I’m sorry to hear that you felt offended by the cartoon shark in the article about programming. I understand that you may have different preferences and expectations for the content you consume. However, I hope you can also respect my creative choices and freedom of expression. I is not obligated to cater to your personal tastes or opinions, especially when I am providing my content to the world for free. I appreciate your feedback, but I also ask you to be more considerate and respectful of other readers who may enjoy my work. Thank you.I would ask you to perform self-reflection to ascertain as to why the cartoon shark discomforts you. You may want to sit with that discomfort to understand why you feel that way so you can hopefully move past that and towards a more peaceful future.There are a number of logical fallacies being presented in your assertions, however I don't feel like I need to spend the time to pick them apart.Be well,

Leaving aside the "furry == sexual" connotations:It overshadows the contentOnly if you let it. Relax. What someone is wearing or what innocent pictures they put alongside their presentation does not necessarily have to concern you at all. Just ignore it and focus on the actual subject matter.

Wait, to understand all of the SRE things, one might need another 6 months.Me: Is this a challenge.I'd love to learn from you more if you don't mind.Maybe I should do a series of learning SRE fundamentals via cursed abominations.

The bytes are stored in the cloud, which is slightly slower to read from than it would be to read data out of the heap.Given latency and bandwidth differences, that's like saying that it's slightly slower to transport water by driving standard, 1-gallon jugs between the US east and west coasts than it is to transport it a few miles using a tanker truck.It is slightly slower! I am not lying here!
