I use MySQL Aurora quite heavily and, for our purposes(very high usage, but simple query pattern) there's no obvious differences outside of one major annoyance.

The engineers at Plaid wrote a really useful article on the differences: https://plaid.com/blog/exploring-performance-differences-bet...

The biggest, for me, is that Aurora clusters use shared storage and therefore the isolation model is slightly different(plus other ramifications), read committed is only possible by setting a cluster wide parameter and read uncommitted is not possible, as far as I can tell.

I don't think that's true for most people, but for me the difference isn't large enough to matter.

It probably takes most people 1 or 2 minutes to click the one click buy button on Amazon and download a book. I can get a book from Z-Library on telegram, upload it to Dropbox, and have it downloaded to my Kobo in 3-4 minutes -- not a big deal on book reading time scales.

You can re-characterize the contribution until tax deadline day of the following year, you can contact your investment firm do to that and they'll handle everything. With Vanguard it's as easy as filling out a form and waiting for the process to complete.

I guess maybe I don't understand why one would go into journalism, but if your goal isn't to effect change why be a journalist? Were the journalists working on stories detailing the Catholic Church's pedo problem just doing it for kicks or a book deal?

Terraform 1.0 5 years ago

We use it for provisioning vsphere VMs with all of the provisioning done through cloud-init. Can't say I like cloud-init but our onprem stuff is pretty simple and almost all of the VMs can be rebuilt if a change is needed so it works well enough but I'd probably use ansible if I were starting new.

What I've done on a recent project is to vendor the dependencies before build(which are excluded from git, you could cache these if you're using a CICD system like circle), copy everything into the build container, build with -mod=vendor and then copy the resulting binary into a new container.

Don't know how that'll work out for a larger project but it works well enough in this small API I wrote.

Ever buy strawberries?

"We don't check all tickets for the venue. Too many people."

Train conductors often check tickets after the train has started moving.

"Cleaning the entire building is not possible. It's too much space."

Climate change. Dirty streets.
