from Vladimir Klepov as a Coder [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago

I joked on Mastodon: If anyone endeavors to write a book about what went wrong with tech, I have a great suggestion for the title: “Enabled by Default” It seems there really are two hard problems in tech: Naming things Setting good defaults Keeping to scope Anyhow, a little while...

Publishing lots and lots of messages to SNS

from alexwlchan [alt+shift+b] in programming

over a year ago
At work, we use Amazon SNS as the trigger for a lot of our data pipelines. You send a message to an SNS topic, and it gets picked up by an SQS queue, an ECS task, or a Lambda function – and they in turn send new messages to other SNS topics, and the pipeline continues. Sending a...

against /tmp

8 months ago
I commented on Lobsters that /tmp is usually a bad idea, which caused some surprise. I suppose /tmp security bugs were common in the 1990s when I was learning Unix, but they are pretty rare now so I can see why less grizzled hackers might not be familiar with the problems. I...

Get in losers, we're moving to Linux!

from David Heinemeier Hansson [alt+shift+b] in programming

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
