Not sure what you’re getting at. An S3 bucket out-of-the-box is secure and can’t leak/be accessed publicly.

There’s legitimate use cases for making a bucket public.

What are you advocating for?

Care to elaborate? What you’re saying doesn’t match my experience.

I’ve paid pennies a year to store data in s3 for the better part of 5 years. Can’t even buy a hdd with what I’ve spent on s3.

You’ve either never implemented a file system, or just a basic POC of one that nobody used.

Ahh. That makes sense!

That would surprise me too considering read-after-write consistency came to S3 like 5 years ago?

At Microsoft, for every Principal Engineer/Manager there’s a dead internal project that nobody uses but had “… lots of impact.”

I get it, there’s work to be done to flush this out but it’s interesting to me that actual scientific enquiry gets more push back than “but old guy said so.”

The data (re: the Flynn effect) suggests otherwise.

Strictly speaking, no such law exists. My understanding is that it’s a request from the secret service that all of the printer manufacturers have agreed to comply with for counterfeiting reasons.

People seem to have a good reasoning for your specific example, but they’re not addressing the question. I can think of a number of YouTubers that have longer schedules that have had success (Mark Rober, Cleo Abram, to name 2 but there’s clearly more).

My guess is that if all you want to do is work the algorithm to get views then you’re going to get worked by the algorithm.

Hm. I’m a grown man and I post reels to all the platforms. I like the tech and enjoy trying to emulate a professional process with prosumer equipment and practices (filming, editing, color grading, sound design, etc.).

After about 30 or so reels this year, I’ve got about 70 followers - half of which are definitely bots, a third are family/friends, and the rest seem to be real people.

My feed has a lot of people like me, and people whose content I think is at the quality I’d like to be at (mostly photographers, videographers, small but full-time YouTubers).

Maybe you’re just finding what you’re looking for.

> Well, I guess that's what people want, but I'd argue that we're not better of it, that despite the greater size of it all, the culture of the early 2010s internet still produced far higher quality and authentic cultural products than today, hell alot of shorts I see today is just a rehash of well-known facts back then.

You’re just getting older. You’ve seen it before in another place, another medium, a different author, actor, photographer, director, philosopher, painter. You just haven’t realized that the internet isn’t just for you, and that reel you saw that just rehashed something well-known to you, was new info to someone else, somewhere. I can assure you, in 2010, there were plenty oh people bitching about bloggers retelling the same old things they learned decades prior.

“Everything old is new again” is a centuries-old expression. Every generation tells their tales, and shares their cultural experience in their own way. Right now, people express themselves in short-form video. I’m curious to see what comes next - you and I probably won’t like it.

I don’t know that it’s people trying to make a buck - and that seems a bit silly of a thing to say to begin with. I presume you try to make your buck doing whatever it is you do.

What I will say is that it’s definitely a different form of expression from what we’ve had beyond recent history and - at the same time - artists, photographers, painters, jesters, philosophers, and playwrights have been trying to live off their form of expression for a while now too.

I have it on good authority that the snozzberries taste like snozzberries.

I like this. I do something similar; I ask myself “Am I buying this for the knowledge inside it, or the experience of it?”

I buy the latter. Be it a comic book, photography book, or something else. Those are artistic experiences for me.

Apologies for the caricature.

It’s clearly up for debate, but I’ve always thought that imposing obligations for how people use the product/code, or implying obligations for what the project is “owed” by users, isn’t free as in freedom, or beer. So I don’t think it’s a basic principle of open source. I think some people want it to be though.

I get it though. People see aws et al making a business model of hosting FOSS and making boatloads of money doing it, and they don’t like it.

Meanwhile, it’s wild to me that you seem to think open source means “free for everyone… except them - they make too much money.”

The alternative is charging for the rental by the day but a huge proportion of your customers (who probably own a bmw) constantly complain that they’re being overcharged and they want a discount cause they don’t need the blinkers, and refuse to pay for them.

I joke, but this persona is very real, and it leads you to this nickel and dime billing model.

I’ve written a lot of modern C# and I don’t know what you mean - especially with regards to your comment about F# being different.

Are you taking about the popularity of the mediator pattern (via Mediatr)?

I’m sure a judge will agree with you.

Which Linux?

There’s some YouTubers that regularly cover these if youre the type that enjoys watching it instead. Nick Chapsas is one I enjoy watching.

Amazon already had very high turnover before Covid. Many people don’t stick around (willingly or otherwise) after the year 2 hiring bonus cliff.

AWS does offer software development services.

Every attention thief is absolutely thrilled at the idea of tracking your eyes. Let’s all imagine the day where the YouTube free tier pauses ads when you’re not actively looking at them.

Shit. I’m turning into one of those negative downers. I’m sorry. I’ve had too much internet today.

> …when they get to the point of only rarely making big dangerous mistakes.

Are you intentionally rubbing FUD on that or am I mis-reading you? I don’t think we need to wait to rely on technologies until they’ve achieved perfection - just when their mistakes are less frequent, less dangerous, or more predictable than human mistakes for the same task.

Oh don’t worry. Once dns-over-https becomes standard, you won’t be able to do any dns filtering anymore.

I don’t think we’re ready either but I also don’t see how you’d get ready without the pressing need to.

That is to say: I think this was inevitable.

In AWS, AMIs are kept up to date and all you have to do is roll your instances inside an ASG (which is a 1 button thing) to have them updated with zero downtime.

RDS takes backups, out of the box with zero configuration, and further customization is very easy.

When people provision resources in the cloud in the same way they provision resources on-premises, they tend to massively over-provision.
