Re:The Serverless Revolution Has Stalled on Monday October 12, 2020 @11:42PM (#24762044)
I'm ignorant

How does a build trigger the serverless function to notify all of you? I kind of assume serverless means it activates on a timer or when you visit a specific URL. So a build script executes it by visiting a URL when it's finished? And the script executes from any internet connected machine?

Why is it better than having a VPS? I currently use a VPS for a few one off scripts. Cron does the timer ones and the URL ones are entries in a nginx config file. Actually that's half true I actually config an app I wrote to do it cause I didn't want to bother finding out how to do shellexecute on nginx

IG killed a gb for my cousin in about 2 days. How have you not done this? Streaming not required. We checked it before and after setting the save bandwidth option. It did 100mb in maybe 10mins of scrolling
That's how we do things at work. If we need to change a class function we outright copy/paste it then change what we need. This is so everything is backwards compatible. A bug in one version might be expected or documented in a previous. We can't fix the bug in an older version unless we get the OK from our clients because they might be depending/expecting it for their code to run correctly

It's a good system. You shouldn't complain. And deleting code is easy since not everything depends on everything

Ask HN: What libraries have you used in more than one project?

What else might I try in a...

Are you writing an OS?

I'm pretty sure the linux kernel compiled is < 350mb. Debian net install is less than this
