far out it's 10pm here and I was just about to sleep when my wife nugged me about a billing alert from AWS.

$151 billion the number for me.

Sean Carroll's Mindscape is my favourite.

Though sometimes it is very interesting and might delay sleep a bit

ARGENTINA IS BETTER THAN BRAZIL

All good - it is something that has been over-complicated for marketing/product reasons.

If you know what A/B testing is, feature flagging can really allow you to nail down how you should deliver an experience to an end user.

We track end-to-end engagements on our websites based on how the content is displayed on a page with more performant layouts/content winning the test to drive users through the funnel.

I don't love it though because it's a lot of waste that gets left over and not cleaned up leaving billing to grow exponentially as flags are continually called for no reason.

That's not a feature flagging service then (config as a service! not a thing really...)

I've done both client and server side implementations of the launch darkly sdk and that's how it's done to know client context.

If you're initialising the entire SDK only to load 1 set of configuration items, I'd argue you can host the config as a json file on a CDN and be done with it - feature flagging is overkill.

Oh yeah lets make a web request per service invocation to figure out what to serve for the invocation!

Guys this is exactly the kind of banal crap that makes a simple app into a monsterous beast that won't work unless it's connected to the internet.

Hmmm 12K seems like a bit much, even if it's fintech.

They also didn't mention the company.

The title feels clickbaity as it's not specific to AWS API gateway and instead, the implementation of it.

And who hosts on blogspot...

a lot of AI is just wasteful like this.

there are a lot of parallels with crypto 'mining' a transaction and AI slopping a functional output.

so you take but you don't want to give?

perhaps try a different perspective of, "it's good i live in a place where we contribute for a common good"

they are greedy and don't want to pay their fair share.

people that count their tax dollars are usually very selfish to begin with.

i generally think the gov can do better with how money is spent though.

Wow what a trash discussion this was.

Turns out it was you who are polluting this community with low IQ takes.

Wow you sound very defensive.

If it's not obvious I meant breathing while sleeping at night in a sleep apnea discussion, I think you need to analyse your own internal bias and possible self-hate.

I'm very sure i have sleep apnea now as i wake up literally in panic where i'm not breathing + have a full bladder and need to go a few times a night (which i've read as a kidney response with sleep apnea).

As i said this all came about with extra weight gain in the past few months.

Do you run regularly?

Overweight by chance?

I've put on a bit of weight sunce having kids and my breathing at night is much worse than before.

Google foeling more like Hooli these days.

"need to install a complete desktop app to get access to our new CLI"

Pay toll and don't get your ship bombed.

They likely didn't pay to move their goods through the strait.

Lets not let the truth get in the way of defence companies selling weapons for another middle east conflict!

'Cyclists sue bolt cutter manufacturer over recent surge in bicycle theft'

Garbage article.

Using a measurement for power as opposed to energy is dumb with batteries

Microsoft slowly becoming the IBM of the 21st century.

Google/Android don't want AI bots spamming marketplaces with dodgy apps.

Tie in the app to a verified identity/individual and it makes the audit process easier as well as engagement with authorities from the user's country if required (e.g. app facilitating child abuse).

But can it play doom?

Open Source Software doesn't mean maintenance free.

The code is all there mate.

Their time and efforts and ongoing contributions to the project are not.

OSS is not about fairness and free work from people. It's just putting the code out there in public.

I thought the same though this comment clarifies it -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47357608

Haha in the world of AI/MCPs, all of a sudden we have a push for companies to properly build out APIs/CLI tools.

Same clowns complaining that `npm install` downloads the entire internet.

Now it's completely fine for an AI agent to do the same and blow up their context window.

Lol yes lets just casually plug into a 1.2MW charger and not take down the electricity of the nearby town while I charge my truck.

Nuclear trucks and boats are what I envision so maybe I'm the one who needs a reality check.

This adds friction, disincentivizes legitimate and high quality code commits and uses humans even more.

Yes, but no need for the attitude.

Linux powers the world in this area and bash is the glue which executes all these commands on servers.

Any program or language you write to try and 'revolutionise CI' and be this glue will ultimately make the child process call to a bash/sh terminal anyhow and you need to read both stdout and stderr and exit codes to figure out next steps.

Or you can just use bash.

Without knowing anything internally about how microsoft builds:

Product driven development and too many managers with MBAs led to this problem.

Voting is one of those things that people care very little about but it's extremely important as it can determine who is the head of state (a position that has a lot of power an influence).

A single compromise once can have incredibly bad long term consequences for the majority of a ruling elite gain power indefinitely.
