Re:AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data - $1.7 BILLION

It's a good job it was off by such a large amount, or I might have panicked instead of writing it off as a phishing attempt. I had an email saying my $7.50 budget had been exceeded with an actual cost of $3bn.

I didn't notice this at first but if you click the pencil icon you can draw a shape to match against instead of searching with text or browsing with the dropdown

Crazy to see this story on the front page of the BBC and now Hacker News too! Ronnie was an awesome guy, and absolutely a part of Rob and Dianne's family, not a "maid" as another comment suggested.

Looks like 30+ instances of downtime in the last couple of weeks. Anyone know what's going on there?

Had same issue with Wise followed by same email about Evolve. I don't think Wise have discovered (or want to admit) the real scope of the issue.

Re:Ask HN: Is Express still "de-facto" for building Node back ends?
on Sunday October 29, 2023 @11:27AM (#38059458)
I tend to use hapi (https://hapi.dev) instead of Express if I need to write a quick backend for something these days.
Fastify looks nice too but I haven't used it.
Been burnt by full-stack frameworks in the past (e.g. Meteor) but they can be a good option for some.

The Baked Bean Museum of Excellence was a very niche one near me in South Wales. Think it has closed its doors now though.

Very soothing. Now I'm wondering how common "a supermarket trolley on the track earlier on this train's journey" is in Scotland that they needed to pre-record that audio.

In case the author is reading, the specified font-family 'Cantarell' is not loading and there are no fallbacks specified. Probably needs a 'sans-serif' fallback or a webfont.
