I am not an IAM expert but maybe the app should have an admin login that sets the IAM user with full permissions on any s3 bucket(s) needed for the app to work.

There should be instructions on how to set that IAM user up (dont make it the root! It just needs full access to a single bucket ideally).

This is good. It defers the decision as to what to learn!
My initial though. At least create an IAM user per file :-). Maybe that defeats the convenience.

Cloning and installing is also an option.

Agent as in AI or agent as in actor framework? Or both?

It is good enough for plumbing, bricklaying, food service etc. Why not coding.

Vocational education vs. academic.

Basically you find a grad right now and make them do a coding test. Something is broken there.

A degree could include the vocational qualification as a 1 year study, but having the vocation qualification alone would save youngsters a lot of money and reduce the burden on hiring. You could even still interview coding questions but the application process can remove the spam/ai bullshit to some extent. "Can they code?" is answered.

My initial feeling is: that data is probably mostly unmined and lost. Lucky bastards!
Lack of clairvoyance? Missing out on mobile was more obvious tho.
That must have been such a satisfying fix for the engineers though!
That is default Amazon - you can return stuff no hassle for almost any reason.
It can be good if done well. The goal is not abstraction but understandability.

Any function call is abstraction after all. Unabstracted you would just inline that code or use goto.

That is damn good!
Shared hosting usually doesn't have docker or a vm available to you. Often you get to upload PHP, maybe Node, Ruby or Pyhon too and accept all their opinionated defaults. Often this makes it incompatiable with anything not specifically designed for shared hosting.
Try rotating 4 weeks: easy medium hard hardest. It is great for keeping motivated as you are not slogging it out every week and consistency > bravado. Lifting weights that are now easy but were harder is great feeling too.

Yep the isolation lets us run completely untrusted workloads. "Us" is not my team, I am adjacent, so I am not fully across which buzzwords but it is pretty cool.

Well thank you. My current job is probably only possible due to lambda!

Depends on the competition of course. They need an edge to stop me going to the bald guy and running it there.

Microservices lets you horizontally scale deployment frequency too.

Re:Ask HN: Do you backup your Emails? on Saturday December 21, 2024 @08:46PM (#42483838)
I regular look at years old emails to check for things like who I was insured with for something or what SKU to reorder for a part. I like to backup with Google takeout for a "no brain" backup.
Re:Would you pay $19 for this Mac menubar app? on Saturday December 21, 2024 @08:44PM (#42483832)
I like the idea of aggregation but I prefer to open a dashboard once a week. I only want info in my face if I need to react to it. For example a downtime alert. I think "checking your sales" can become a procasination vector.
