I stopped reading at “new era”. At this point in time with the deluge of content, start with a problem and solution in a concise statement if you want my attention. I’m not reading your opinion piece.

Great read. > And while people will write the code that accidentally introduces sensitive data into logs, they’re also the ones that will report, respond, and fix them. This should probably be the …

It's true that they can but mostly they don't (particularly with "serverless" services).

Interesting that you mention UDP, because I'm in the process of adding hard-limits to my service that handles UDP. It's not trivial, but it is possible and while I'm unsympathetic to f…

Using that logic, isn’t it the fault of the user to set up an app without rate limiting?

If you want hard caps, you can already do it. It’s not a checkbox in the UX, but the capability is there.

Not everything on AWS is a Web app

Is it simple? So what happens when you hit the cap, does AWS delete the resources that are incurring the cost and destroy your app? Imagine the horror stories on Hacker News that would generate.

Yes, they do. You create resources and you delete resources and if you care about cost you creat alarms and tie them to scripts that automatically delete resources. It’s basic stuff.

What seems like a basic feature to you is a hindrance to me. I don’t want to have to disable “safeguards” all over the place just because of loud and rare complaints.

This is a good analogy. When you use a tool you are responsible for what it does.

If I go buy a TIG welder, use it without any training, leave it on and go get coffee, do I get to complain that I have to pay for a new house?

False dichotomy. There were many other options available.

I’ve been keen to point out there is more utility in the technology underlying VPNs than the VPN functionality itself. The WireGuard handshake and transport encryption are lightweight and secure and …

Every encyclopedia is lossy, by definition. Even the most expansive holds a tiny fraction of human knowledge (which is a fraction of what we could know). On the other hand, it’s not worse than other a…

A question related to the question, for which I apologize: It seems to me that using WireGuard (UDP) in conjunction with something like Raptor Forward Error Correction would be somewhat difficult to b…

Having built a bunch of low level network APIs I think the author hits on some good, common themes. Versioning, etc. matter (or don’t) for binary UDP APIs (aka protocols) just as much as for any web A…

I can second this, and do the same math and tracking (someday maybe cars will reliably do this themselves). The same can be done for electrics (power paid for and delivered to the car versus the miles…

The study data showing average capacity is helpful, but the lower quartile and even more so the bottom 10% is really what people worry about. In the used car market the presence of even a decidedly sm…

The most pressing answer is “fewer people” if we aspire to maintain the ecosystem as we know it today (or in recent history, perhaps), but that’s unpopular in key circles. So sure, reactors.

Lee here, the founder of Proxylity and creator of UDP Gateway. I’ve recently added support for WireGuard, with an eye on being “genuinely serverless”. These listeners are always available and only cha…

To put it in perspective based on recent Meta hiring, we're 1/4 of the way to an individual having a $1B valuation let alone a company.

Oh wow, that's simply not true. Many investors have spent more than that to prove a point. Sometimes in one place, sometimes over many places and years.

And we wonder why code generating LLMs are... wait, never mind, we don't wonder. Of course, my pricing page looks different for now but will end up looking much the same since that's what vi…

I’ve been experimenting with different ways of using WireGuard but hadn’t heard of the header based authentication Tailscale does. Interesting stuff.

I can’t really speak to the thermals other than as an input to my work. I was narrowly focused on the cyclic loading based on the temperature gradients (etc.) I was given.
