dc_gregory··on AWS AppSync – Build data-driven apps with real-time and off-line capabilities
(I think they meant the forms AWS puts up, which could have a "login and fill AWS account details" button to automatically fill the thing out).
dc_gregory··on The Incredible Shrinking Airline Seat
Except for those really high shelves.
dc_gregory··on The Incredible Shrinking Airline Seat
I think that would end up being quite space inefficient, as people tend to be > 3 time taller than they are wider.
dc_gregory··on Google blocked every one of the WSWS’s 45 top search terms
In this context, I read "alternative viewpoint" as a polite way of saying "complete bullshit".
dc_gregory··on ACME v2 API Endpoint Coming January 2018
Does anyone know why this is exactly?
dc_gregory··on How the failed deal with Waymo left Ford in the lurch
We had this issue on our sites for a short time; all in all, it was very effective at forcing a much higher business priority for the fix.
dc_gregory··on High-speed rail taking shape even as opponents seek to kill it
Presumption would be it's much harder to stop/start a freight train vs. a passenger train.
dc_gregory··on How to Setup an OpenVPN Server on Digital Ocean
I use viscosity, which has the added benefit of allowing multiple VPN's (e.g. to multiple VPC's on AWS or w/e).
dc_gregory··on Publishers Are Rethinking Those ‘Around the Web’ Ads
Unless happily married SW engineers with your search history whom mark dating sites as irrelevant are great for dating site conversions.
dc_gregory··on Ask HN: At 91, My Grandfather's Only Regret Is Never Skateboarding. Best VR Rig?
CPU limited; drop the res and the choppiness goes away (and check your browser's CPU usage, mine was eating several cores).
dc_gregory··on Now it’s exploding Samsung washing machines
Gosh, the finish tone on my one goes for a solid minute or more. After the initial load, I was considering unsoldering the speaker until a search provided the secret key combination to turn the damn thing off.
dc_gregory··on MoonMail: Serverless Framework for Sending Emails Using AWS SES and Lambda
Reads as $0.7 per thousand for me.
dc_gregory··on Indie Hackers: Learn how developers are making money
Probably makes it a bit complicated.

    revenue { amount: 8500, currency: 'USD' }
    periodic_revenue { interval: 'month', amount: revenue }
Then you can act on revenue amounts around the place, and only have to think/handle interval's if/when it's appropriate.
dc_gregory··on ​Attack on Australian Census site didn’t register on global DDoS sensors
The current running joke is that the DDoS was not detected as all the traffic originated from inside of Australia, primarily via home connections.
dc_gregory··on Why We Moved from Amazon Web Services to Google Cloud Platform
Raise a ticket; I see no issues VPC => RDS endpoint at all. Might be something gone sideways in a layer you can't see.
dc_gregory··on 41 Percent of Fliers Think You’re Rude If You Recline Your Seat
Isn't Recaro primarily well known for their racing seats? Rather odd to see the company referenced for its baby seats, is that a local thing for you?
dc_gregory··on The HTTP/2 implementation
I feel like it simplifies workflow, site design etc; serving your content from several domains is a hack and a half. I can see your point for non-greenfield dev, can't say there is a large amount of motivation to switch it out (aside from new toys!!!).
dc_gregory··on The HTTP/2 implementation
Realistically, how many sites load those assets synchronously and how many sites need them loaded to provide the main functionality? Its a stretch to write off http/2 just for that!
dc_gregory··on Windows 10 phones home when you search your start menu, even with Bing disabled
It seems a bit unlikely that users doing 100 searches a day would also be the same set of users who worry about 12MB of data usage in a month.

For example, even in the Australian market (very low competition environment), 12MB of data via 4G is trivial.

dc_gregory··on AWS having major issues
Was ~ an hour before the status page indicated even the potential for a fault, and we were seeing solid errors the entire time.

Currently can't raise support tickets either, so left in the dark until they fix that...
