Rolls knows their customers, as absurd as it may seem. The electrics hit the Royce brand first because it is the car “in which you are driven” and likely the reasons you state. Bentley, the car “you d…

> The supply side is exploding. Demand? I dunno man. Isn’t that the nature of the paradox; that we can’t predict where the demand comes from and yet it does?

None of the AWS “outages” have impacted us. They have either been regional, in which case we stand down the region (we run multiple hot regions), or didn’t involve things we need to maintain operation…

I was under the impression that it was illegal to have any kind of light emitting signage on a moving vehicle. Does this vary by jurisdiction?

Agreed. OP, get a CYD (Cheap Yellow Display) and run wild.

Regarding the viability of rewrites of successful PoCs: Does the current environment change the math? How difficult would it be to overcome the inertia/hesitation/perception of slow, painful…

Perhaps an aside, but the things we do to compensate for the warts of TCP are staggering.

I didn’t see the successor in the field much, RADIUS seems entrenched. If they are similar enough I may build both but this was the place to start.

The two are linked. Need to change the configuration of a fleet? That's going to be restarting every instance of the process. Update an extension model? Same. Load balance? You'll need one t…

Maybe. I'm thinking about options but haven't decided on anything yet.

Past trauma motivated it. I was responsible for multiple RADIUS services used by millions of people every day. The existing software is slow to build with, difficult to scale and expensive. I couldn&#…

I’m not saying it isn’t bad. I clearly understand it’s bad. My point is that this kind of headline doesn’t help the cause. It’s hyperbolic nonsense to laypeople, though they may use the more colloquia…

I’m working on a ground-up implementation of RADIUS with everything running on stateless compute. It’s a beast with many problems to solve but I have EAP-TLS, TTLS and PEAP all working. I’d love to co…

I find it really difficult to discuss the two with people because of the overloaded terminology.

Maybe, but that’s a far stride or two from the “doomsday” pitched at laypeople.

Agreed. This kind of provocative story gives many people the sense that science is unreliable, full of shifting narratives and unmet prophesies. That undermines the confidence we need in it as a socie…

Not unrelated pages. All AWS pricing is and has been for a very long time posted on predictable pages alongside the service marketing and documentation. The console is the console. I, for one, don’t w…

Not hugely, perhaps not even prevalent, but present, yes. I get to see how a lot of companies use AWS. The console does make its appearances, but less and less often these days.

At this point I’m not using the UX much if ever. Everything I’m doing is via IaC or the CLI. It’s made working with AWS really smooth.

In cost explore, on the right hand side where filters appear, click the “more” button at the bottom then the first option that appears (which is “charge type” or something like that) and select “usage…

For which services? Let’s look at Lambda for a second. Deploying a lambda function to AWS costs literally nothing. And yet, depending on how it’s used, it can cost an infinite amount of money. Which p…

I’m not sure I understand. AWS has detailed pricing information for each service. I’ve never felt surprised by pricing. Cost has been surprising, but that happens when usage is surprising in my experi…

As I read through these comments I’m thinking about the dynamic range of AWS customers: from my little hobby account to my business account to some hyper-scaler’s account. I think about the diversity …

I’m not sure how someone can be an “AWS Fanboy”, drink in all the promise, and think IAM is evil. As far as I can tell it is the one glorious thing that separates AWS from others. IAM is the core that…

The screenshot on the repo only shows a comparison to the AWS CLI. Here is a comparison for uploading a single 1KB file with the AWS CLI, a minimal AWS API client and raptor: ~ $ time aws s3 cp da…

QUIC, but TCP experience and not UDP? Sorry, being a little pedantic but it's a real question.
