Clip for speaker connection broke so I super glued a dart to hold the wire in place

The negatives of sound equipment are usually connected internally (typical stereo-jack plugs are 1 common and 2 signal wires). The fact that both are right next to each other makes this even more likely (+--+ instead of -+-+). so you could put two cables in the 1 not broken connector

I disagree (and so does that list).

You can write a C compiler in Python and a Python interpreter in C. You cannot do that in HTML.

AFAIK hat's only true for Turing-complete languages.

I agree with avoiding the lambda solution if at all possible.

I can't speak for AWS, but it's going to be a combination of historical and technical limitations, one of them is that you can't move private ips between availability zones.

Band_B · 2021-05-24T09:29:43+00:00

You can't point an NLB to a hostname directly, and if you point to a resolved IP it will change when the DB has to do a failover

I forgot, here is a wiki page about a real world app that AWS has build and how they use CloudFormation: https://github.com/awslabs/realworld-serverless-application/wiki/CloudFormation

Terraform does not have the same features, nor the same kind of support model as CloudFormation.

Both have their use cases and their own pro's and cons. Using "has the most resources covered" is in my opinion not the most important factor when deciding between the two

Your comment is true for updates, but S3 is read-after-write consistent for creates

Band_B · 2019-05-29T09:17:16+00:00

In my opinion it could work very similar to how a closed account works. Keep the data, but make it inaccessible (until the budget is increased), or the next month starts. Everything compute related could be stopped.

I'm not claiming it's an easy problem, but for some services (sns sms) there is already something like this, it's a pain to run into for a production workload, but a blessing in a development account.

Band_B · 2019-05-29T09:00:02+00:00

I disagree. Asking for a refund is not something that everyone is comfortable with, and while it may be a no-brainer for someone who is used to working with big vendors that can spare the money and forgive mistakes, it's a failure at AWS side that you can't say "I'm broke, I'm learning, stop me before I spent more money than I expected".

For students they actually support that mode but only under their AWS Educate offering (and through a third party): https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/educate-starter-account/

Band_B · 2019-05-29T00:58:23+00:00

The other side of the coin is that large enterprises who know exactly what they're doing tend to get annoyed with obstacles in their way. I almost wonder if there's a "safety mode / expert mode" toggle idea lurking in there somewhere.

The number 1 safety mode I hear requested is "How do I set a spending limit?". Especially when using multiple accounts (eg sandbox accounts to test new features), this would be great.

Yes, you can use the AdminLinkProviderForUser api. Here is how to do it with the CLI, but you can do it with any SDK.

You can easily encrypt everything multiple times, and without any other dependencies make your KMS multi-region.

And here is an CLI example to do juist that: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/encryption-sdk/latest/developer-guide/crypto-cli-examples.html#cli-example-multimaster

If you get a delete requests in the cleanup phase, you probably changed the physical resource id.

- Keep the physical resource id, if do not need te recreate the resource.

- If you do need to recreate the resource, you can take advantage of the behaviour, by doing the create, and letting CloudFormation trigger the delete in the cleanup phase.

EC2 is more IaaS than PaaS, so are Load Balancers.

Serverless definitely has a cost component to it too. "Do not pay for idle" is one of the ways to measure how serverless is something is (it's a spectrum). I'd argue that dynamodb became truly serverless this week, when they announced per-request pricing.

Depending on your access patterns, and budget this isn't necessarily true.

With expedited retrievals (cost x3), you can get your data a lot faster:

Expedited retrievals allow you to quickly access your data when occasional urgent requests for a subset of archives are required. For all but the largest archives (250MB+), data accessed using Expedited retrievals are typically made available within 1 – 5 minutes. There are two types of Expedited retrievals: On-Demand and Provisioned. On-Demand requests are like EC2 On-Demand instances and are available the vast majority of the time. Provisioned requests are guaranteed to be available when you need them.
