In this case they reported Stripe's annual run rate — a metric that's roughly comparable to annual recurring revenue, but for non-recurring business models.

I'm also seeing a lot of 1016/1018 "Origin DNS errors" across a variety of web services. I saw this on my own company's website first around 21:40 UTC, although it's not bad enough to materially affect our traf

The Prisoners' Dilemma analogy was covered in Ben Thompson's Stratechery article this week: https://stratechery.com/2023/the-death-of-silicon-valley-ban... He first made this argument in 2017 in an article ab

Yep, I misspoke -- I thought the other one had been pointing to the public announcement at https://slackhq.com/introducing-a-more-efficient-slack-deskt... . This is indeed a dupe.

This is a different article, going into more of the technical details of the desktop update. The other post is for a more general audience.

Quick notes on the BBP2's after about a week: * The sound quality is excellent. Wired or wireless, the sound is sharp and crystal clear. But it's not particularly flat; there's a lot of midrange that makes it sound a little m

This was extremely helpful -- thanks so much for that detailed comparison. I just ordered the Backbeat Pro 2's from Amazon. Although it would be nice to have the Bose ANC, that's less important to me than sound quality -- and $349

How would you compare the Bose QC35 to the Plantronics? I know Marco Arment has fantastic things to say about the Backbeat Pro series, but I've never seen or heard those in real life, or even seen them mentioned in most reviews. I&#x27

My muscle memory for "terraform apply" was too strong, so I just moved "terraform" out of my path altogether. Now I have a wrapper that invokes it safely (or a Makefile, depending on which project I'm working on).

It's actually cheaper than data transfer across AZs. Within a region, AWS charges 1 cent per GB in each direction. You pay a cent to send data from one instance and another cent to receive data on another instance. But between Virginia

My understanding is that the founding of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative has no tax implications at all. The only way that tax would be avoided is if the foundation sells some Facebook stock and donates the proceeds to accredited non-profits

We've used it occasionally on a ~400GB table and it's worked perfectly for us too. We run it on EC2 i2.8xlarge instances and it finishes in under 2 hours. But it doesn't use very much CPU or I/O, so we could probably run

Things were good for a couple hours, but the problems came back around 11:10 AM PDT. It's now been happening again for an hour.

It's really easy to miss the indicator "i". I've been doing this for 4 years and it still doesn't catch my eye when scanning the page.

We saw the problem get better around 7:13 AM PDT, but then it got bad again at 7:42 AM. Fun morning...

Yes, we are seeing problems that started around 6:08 AM PDT. We contacted AWS Support and they confirmed they're investigating an incident.

Just spoke to AWS Premium Support around 4:35 AM. They don't have any more information than what's on the status page, basically. I was hoping to get an ETA for a resolution, but no such luck.

We're seeing the same problems with DynamoDB... it started around 2:20 AM PDT (1 hour ago). We're not having any problems with EC2—what kind of problems are you seeing? I hope it's just affecting the API and not running insta

S3 is already supposed to be AZ-tolerant. In the US Standard region, they say your data is actually replicated across multiple geographic locations in Virginia and the Pacific Northwest. That's probably true—your data may be highly dur

by RyanGWU82 11y ago
S3's uptime is probably an order of magnitude better than I can provide myself. From 2010-2011 I worked with a medium-size MogileFS cluster, with about 160 million files and 50 TB of data, triple-replicated. We had great uptime until w

Looks like it got better around 12:20 PM, about 10 minutes after the incident started. We haven't seen any problems in the last few minutes.

I've done it twice, once in 2010 and again in 2012. At the first company we had been using PPTP and L2TP for remote access but our employees were having tons of problems establishing connections and staying connected. Then we switched

Beer pong may alienate a lot of other people. My office plays a lot of Mario Kart and trivia/card games and those both seem to interest everyone.
