Not getting into which solution is better, but Capture One is at least 50% more expensive than Lightroom. It's a material difference.

Venezuela has reserves. Relative to the gulf it doesn't produce any meaningful amount of oil from those reserves.

BCBS CA revenue is approximately $25B. The total of above is $25.6M. That's 0.1%. You may view those salaries as appropriate for leading companies of this size or immoral and outrageous. But either way executive comp is not the big pro

Work jobs in the order they were submitted within a partition key. This selects the next partition key that isn't locked. You could make it smarter to select a subset of the jobs checking for partition keys where all of the rows are st

I think all your points are valid, but I've also had good results using workspaces for environments. Here's generally how I structure my terraform primarily targeting AWS. - 1 Terraform workspace per environment (dev, test, prod,

Maybe there aren't too many itches left to scratch? Between Dynamodb, Cassandra, and Scylla seems like that problem set is somewhat a solved problem? I know those products continue to move forward, but they all work really well at this

I've found actors (Akka specifically) to be a great model when you have concurrent access to fine grained shared state. It provides such a simple mental model of how to serialize that access. I'm not a fan as a general programming

Makes sense as a theoretical problem. Have you ever seen data that suggests it's a practical problem? Seems like one could identify "should be cached forever but wasn't" using etag data in logs.

This has been the common/best practice for so long I don't understand why TFA is proposing something different.

With due respect, I think you've misunderstood the single-table design pattern. Because you've introduced static hash keys ("user", "email", etc) you've had to manually partition which DDB should do for yo

Please look at your individual situation and don't take this suggestion blindly. If you've already contributed significantly to your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum it can definitely make sense to continue with COBRA. Also you

I see Manifold as a huge leap past previous tools Immutables or Lombok. I understand there's a use case where you want to add these language features to an existing code base. But for the most part if you want the language features on

For sure. Virtually every Jepsen test has found bugs even with extremely mature products like Postgres. But fundamentally Cassandra (and Scylla) and most other databases tested have fixed those bugs and improved their documentation with man

It's not better because it doesn't actually work. If you're not interested in a science experiment, Cassandra (or Scylla) are the multi-master databases that are mainstream and proven to work and scale. They're not fun o

Right. And I think the point is that Redux is a godsend for some small percentage of products but for the vast majority the cure is worse than the disease. Simple and slightly verbose is just "better" as a general solution than th

One challenge a bundler and transpiler introduce is they enable an unconstrained set of solutions. If a particular application has 10 patterns that support all the applications UI interactions, then a simple, constrained solution like htmx

I've not seem them claim to have broken CAP. AWS is quite an academic organization I think it'd be quite unlikely for them to say something like that. They do actually provide quite a lot of detail about Aurora storage this works.

by wmfiv 3y ago
Yeah agreed. It's about tradeoffs. If you want scale to zero with low latency DynamoDB already exists and provides that. The tradeoff is you give up all the nice features of a RDMS.

I don't have any first hand experience but there is an integration with AWS EventBridge. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute/building-salesforce-int... I know even less about Azure, but it looks like Azure D

Was this intended as satire? I honestly can't tell.

Yeah. This works both ways. At small scale or early stage you should try like hell to work backwards from pre-existing components so that everything does exactly what you need them to do by definition. Eventually you outgrow that and it mak

To add on to the comment about Keycloak, the comparison to AWS Cognito has a couple issues as well. - The comparison suggest Cognito is more expensive. Cognito pricing starts at 50,000 MAUs for free. That's 10x the size of the SuperTok

Is your spend 2% of revenue? 5%? 50%? Saving 50% of 2% is almost certainly not worth the risk. The bigger your the percent and your revenue the more likely you should do it. Dropbox again is a good example.

by wmfiv 3y ago
Dropbox (from the a16z article) to me is the exception that proves the point. What percentage of COGS is your cloud/infstracture spend? If your products don't look like cloud infrastructure (aka Dropbox), it better be very small.

This is the price sheet for Oracle's commercial Java distribution. You're almost certainly not using this and instead using an open source distribution of OpenJDK provided by Eclipse, Amazon, Azul, etc.
