An 'eggcorn' that always makes my eye twitch is 'bunker down'. To hunker down is to take a squat or crouch down on your heels. If I recall correctly, it comes from a similar root as 'haunches'. 'Bunker dow

(I'm Australian for the record.) Over the last few years I've moved away from that mindset that you outline. I was finding that a life of travel, hobbies, and low responsibility was becoming more hollow to me. And the world is a t

I agree on note taking. On putting your foot down - some bosses react really badly to that. I choose not to work for bosses like that anymore, but I'm in a position where I can do that. Not everyone is, though.

I fully agree with this. I work with a lot of sales people, and this describes the best ones. They are also the best at running meetings. They never let a meeting end without clear actions and owners. It's quite impressive to watch - I

I mean no disrespect to the maintainers, but am I the only one who doesn't find lists like this particularly useful? They're the kind of thing I used to bookmark, thinking that I'd come back to it at some point when I wanted

What an interesting question! As others have said, it's definitely a 'softening' of a request to make it more polite ('Go home' vs 'Would it be possible for you to go home?'). But I think there are some st

Direct Connect isn't required from a cost perspective - ingress into AWS is free in all cases I can think of, but certainly in the case of S3 [0]. DX is useful when customers need assurances of bandwidth/throughput, or if they wan

The pricing would be prohibitive, I reckon. S3 on Outposts is $0.1/GB/mo, whereas the S3 single zone IA that OP is using as a baseline is $0.01/GB/mo - an order of magnitude less. (Prices are based on us-east-1.)

While I accept of course that there are government-owned systems that have uptime measured in years (decades?), I think that extrapolating that into an argument about the overall reliability of those systems falls into survivorship bias. Bu

Do you think locally managed systems are immune to outages? Or that governments are capable of resourcing their teams sufficiently to do a better job at availability than Microsoft, Google, or Amazon?

I don't believe that they think the rest of the world is idiotic. They just know that once they apply their thin veneer of spin, no-one is able to call them on their bullshit, and there'll be no consequences for their lies.

Congratulations on the launch. This looks fantastic! AWS's release cadence is absolutely crazy - I can barely keep up with all the new releases. Are you planning on supporting all AWS services? If so, how are you planning on keeping up

Thank you for writing this. I always found the Four Hour Work Week to be offensive to my values, but I couldn't effectively put my objection into words. This has captured exactly how I feel about it. I hope more people begin to follow

Do you have evidence of the claim that mask mandates don't work? Not trolling - I'm genuinely interested. My understanding was that masks worked to reduce transmission.

There's no tool that I'm aware of, but you could implement hard failures using SCPs. That will cause an error when the blocked API call is called. It won't, however, give you latency or any nuance in failure rates.
