Sure, that's true. The thing is: this was the same requested (and cancelled) range on the same file(s), over and over (it was a bug). Looking at this from the outside, even some internal S3 caching should have had many cache hits and n

Sorry for not having this made clearer (we'll fix this part of the post): the gotcha is not that AWS does not honor range requests, it's that canceling those will still add the full range of bytes to your egress bill (and this can

Sorry, I think that part of our write-up is misleading (I was involved in analyzing the issue described here). To our best understanding, what happens is the following: - A client sends range requests and cancels them quickly. - The full ra

You are right: the horizontal scroll only appears if you scroll down to the bottom of the page. But there is also a (more sensibly layouted) program shown on each streaming page (e.g. https://streaming.media.ccc.de/rc3/

Totally agree. I think his paper "Can a Systems Biologist Fix a Tamagotchi?" is really nice, shows some of the fundamental conceptional issues and very fun reading nonetheless: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc&

Just as an anecdotal counterpoint to all the negative reviews here: I have a 2015 Tuxedo notebook that is still going strong, and never had any issue with it. There is quite a bit of fan noise, which I don't hear as I'm typically

Instead of writing blog posts as a vital sign, maybe it would help to offer some regularly updated pre-defined "bundles" of ST together with package sets for a certain audience (JS/TS/Python developer, etc.). Many packag

I think one way to 'treat' this would be to acknowledge that certain things just cannot be optimized easily with outside incentives, and to simply accept that there will be some inevitable waste when you let 'good people do
