I was thinking the same thing. The regulation makes sense when purely looking at consumer/patient protection, but it really hurts competition and innovation. I would not be surprised if rule 11 g…

There is a big difference between farsightedness and shortsightedness. Optometrists can use eye drops that prevent accommodation for farsighted patients, or they can detect the "plateau" in …

Haha, is this a coincidence or did you take inspiration from my 2016 blog post? "Parsing 10TB of Metadata, 26M Domain Names and 1.4M SSL Certs for $10 on AWS" http://blog.waleson.…

This is bad news for ScaleFT, which provided this service via bastion servers (although not IAM based). Rackspace managed AWS environments use this for high compliance systems. The problems it solves …

Do you mean that as a good or a bad thing? VB was fantastic to many people!
comment
I imagine that the on-prem and public versions are completely different beasts to operate. It's quite the engineering feat that they reached the current scale with the same codebase! I believe ma…

I've always felt that buildpacks in Heroku / Cloud Foundry are the way to go as they offer a higher level of abstraction than Docker files. The resulting containers are often production read…

Thanks for the feedback, I'll sort it out with my team :)

In NL you have a couple of good and affordable options now, such as Ace & Tate and Charlie Temple where you'll get glasses for under €100. Lots of movement in the market the last couple of ye…

I'm the CTO of an online eye test for the European market ( https://easee.online ). We work together with online retailers that want to offer prescription glasses at much lower costs an…

Wow, I feel very dumb after reading this.

I was colocating in that DC. At least till my final visit a year ago the 2 IA racks were still there. I've also been to the library of Alexandria in Egypt where the IA has much more racks IIRC.

At my previous company I created a buildpack that allowed our proprietary runtime to run on Cloud Foundry (an open source Enterprise PaaS like Heroku). I built the first version in my spare time in a …

Almost nobody is a wild exaggeration. Most EU business travellers I know use it very often.

And you can hook up a small autoscaling gitlab-runner which will spin up CI VMs on-demand. If you combine this with spot-instances at AWS you can scale very far on the free plan with minimal cloud spe…

Absolutely not 99%. More like 1%.

When I have to pick between good enough alternatives, and more information to make a more informed decision is not readily available, I just pick a random option as quickly as possible and don't …

I did on-call duty for about 5 years, first as a developer and later as a product manager. I reliably got an extra 10-20% of my salary in compensation and did not really mind doing it. We received a f…

My family, my kids, my skills and the countless opportunities to apply them. 70+ years without major wars in Europe. The people that sacrificed their lives to make that happen. My first stock option p…

I work in tele-medicine and we use rekognition to see if users are following the instructions correctly. E.g. you have to be at a certain distance from the screen, close an eye, take your glasses off,…

Some years back they offered lifetime deals for cheap with a HN specific discount code IIRC, I took it for +- $30 and I bet this got them some loyal users here. The code reportedly still worked a year…

The offering in most categories is already good enough (for our little startup in Amsterdam), and we're still on the free tier! We only have to use a single integrated SaaS offering which fits al…

248 days of uptime by any chance? edit: I saw the same on a fleet of thousands of JVMs which hung on 100% CPU after 248 days very consistently. Closest thing to an explanation I ever got was perhaps i…
