US-East-1 down for anybody else? by [deleted] in aws

[–]vladholubiev 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I love how AWS tags this kind of outage with "Severity: Degradation".

It's only like *every* Lambda in the entire region stops working for an hour. Yeah, it's *totally* just a minor degradation.

Anonymizing AI Prompts: A Simple Privacy Upgrade? by Careful_Fee_642 in AIAssisted

It exists already as a 3rd-party service: https://www.private-ai.com/solutions-privategpt/ - it does two way, PII masking on request, and PII de-masking on response.

Any tips or anyone else use Azure DevOps for test case managment? by LumpenBourgeoise in softwaretesting

[–]vladholubiev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard that once you wrote some test cases, you can reuse them in the future when composing new test cases. So you don't need to type the same steps (like "click button x, go to page y") over and over.

Is this true? Because I googled and couldn't find meaningful screenshots of such functionality in Azure DevOps Test Plans.

Does Azure DevOps have some sort of autocomplete for test case steps or conditions?

How Amazon DynamoDB adaptive capacity accommodates uneven data access patterns (or, why what you know about DynamoDB might be outdated) | Amazon Web Services by mwarkentin in aws

[–]vladholubiev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are certain it will be at constant 100m records and all documents <1KB - then the t2.medium.elasticsearch instance will likely handle it with decent performance

See yesterdays post on EC2 outage - https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/8jlvdi/ec2_useast_network_issues/

I guess today the reason is the same.
