We had something similar happen with lifecycle rules, moving an entire bucket to glacier: end result was > $200k and AWS weren’t especially helpful on our attempts to refund us. We were unaware that changes via a rule still count as an a

You know, I feel like the perfect person to answer this. I used to be a sysadmin, then a devops engineer, then a "VP of Infrastructure", and I'm currently doing some hands on work again as a "lead devops engineer".

I'm not surprised it failed, with such drastic changes. Why couldn't they add a constraint of no more than 15 minutes change and reapply every year for 5-10 years until they reach a point they are happy with?

My biggest issue with SICP was the lack of available unit tests for the exercises. I'd often "get it wrong" and have no recourse but to read a solution to see that I'd failed to account for some aspect of the problem. W

I ran into something very similar with a cluster almost identical to you. Turns out the default disk size for kops is 25G and when your masters run out of space things start to die with almost no way of telling why. I rerolled with 100G an

The one thing I really wish I had was a comprehensive test suite for all the exercises. They are (obviously) hard to solve and there's no other way to see if you were right but to check the solution. It's a huge flaw in most CS

How do you judge those qualities? I too interview for a similar set of skills (intelligence, curiosity, a desire to constantly improve things, someone who's just willing to put in the hard slog as well as work on the fun projects) but

Am I doing something exceptionally wrong? I click Restore from file in scoped rules, and then decode recipe. That gets me more json on the left (in a red box, so I assume parsing failed). I then try "Import Rules" and nothing s

I cancelled both my accounts over this. It'll be a personal pain, as everything on my ipad hooks in nicely to dropbox, but it's worth it in order to not support one of the Bush era war criminals.

This is pretty timely, I tried and failed to get into Chapter 2 of SICP just a few months ago and eventually got discouraged and ran out of steam. I signed up for this, maybe it'll help keep me accountable and on track.

I've been using Hetzner for my development machine for a while now and they have been fantastic. Great support, great price. It sucks a little to SSH from here to Germany but it's definitely something I can tolerate for the pric

I'm unconvinced by the low cost aspect. Low cost is the listing at http://www.soyoustart.com/us/offers.xml . You're cheaper than a lot of the premium hosters, but not the budget and low cost ones.

I'm in an air cast boot thing right now and until recently I was on crutches. I'd say 16% is about average for people willing to look me in the eye and speak to me. Most people deliberately avoid eye contact desperately so they
