  • The two huge benefits are that you only pay for what you use and you don't need to spend any effort managing it. For my own personal stuff, it makes zero sense to have something running continuously as the number of invocations per week is like less than 10!

    The time spent managing stuff can't be understated either. At my prevous job, we used EC2, and involved a fair bit of management: always doing deploys to roll out the latest AMI's with security patches, doing load tests for different trading peaks and working out how many instances we'll need at what size, monitoring the instances during deployments on the chance that an instance might not be brought back in, which would sometimes happen.

    My current job, it's 100% serverless. The website, any API's, everything. We never have to think about scaling or patching or load testing. The running costs maybe higher but the actual costs for the teams is less.

  • Interesting. Just had a look at scaleway and can see it has functions, and surprisingly even an object storage service called... S3. How are they getting away with that?

    I can't see any dotnet examples for functions but maybe I haven't looked enough. Certainly looks interesting though, I'll look further!

    Oh it has a terraform provider too, nice!

  • Seeing comments like this makes me question myself. I don't experience this at all. I can picture things vaugely in my head but they dissapear the moment I'm not thinking about it. My thoughts are more like concepts, unless I want to explicitiy imagine somethng. But even then I woulnd't say that I can "see" it in the same detail as if I were looking at it with my own two eyes.

  • One in seven food delivery businesses in England are ‘dark kitchens’, study shows

    Jump

  • Same. The guardian seem to have a bee in their bonnet about dark kitchens but I don't see the problem. As a takeaway customer I don't care that it came from a dark kitchen, as a customer of a restaurant I don't want to have to wait 2 hours because the kitchen is dealing with take away orders!

  • Is it common courtesy to stack your shopping cart back with the other carts?

    Jump

  • The problem I have with this is that it's a barrier of using the shop if you don't have a £/€1 coin on you. There's an Aldi by me where the trollies have this lock on them, but the Tesco opposite doesn't so I'll just not go to Aldi as I can't get a trolly.

  • If a high profile dissident dies in an actual accident, a lot of people wouldn't believe it's an accident and assume the government did an assassination.

  • Somewhat reminds me of Dr David Kelly in the UK. He was a key scientist involved in finding WMDs in Iraq in 2003, however he leaked to the BBC that the intelligence report given to the government was "sexed up" (the phrase used at the time) in order to favour an invasion into Iraq. It was discovered he was the source of the leak to the BBC and then was suddenly found dead in some woods near his home.

    The official story is that he commited suicide, probably from the pressure and stress he was under, but the timing was so suspcious that obviously people think the government had him bumped off.
