Re:PNG Is Back on Wednesday June 25, 2025 @01:23PM (#44379761)
This is a false claim in the PR:

> Many of the programs you use already support the new PNG spec: ... Photoshop, ...

Photoshop does NOT support APNGs. The PR calls out APNg recognition as the 2nd bullet point of "What's new?"

Am I missing something? Seems like a pretty big mistake. I was excited that an art tool with some marketshare finally supported it.

Why does cloudfront not support connecting to an ELB on a private subnet?

Seems like a big blindspot with no work-around.

guilded.gg is a great alternative for this use case (and many others). Transparency: I work there.
Thanks and you are very welcome! LMK how it goes / how I can improve.
OP here - my hope is other software engineers/devs can use this as a tool to get knowledge out of their heads and into the hands of kids. Took a few days off during winter break and made/went through this with my kids.

Feedback/PRs appreciated.

Are you grandfathered into the 10,000 free Action minutes for paid Teams? 10k -> 3k drop is pretty substantial.

Thank you Justin!

How do you "check out" one of these to a kindle? I see you can download a kindle file, but dunno how to get that to sync to my kindle devices.

My goal is to show my 5th grader how to checkout a book to his kindle eReader by himself..

This is the way my friend. Hold tight.

16“ MacBook Pro: True Tone Broken with Scaled Resolution

When using True Tone on new 16" MBP, blue shadow/anti aliasing is displayed around things rendered on screen (both native retina display and external displays). This only occurs when using "scaled" resolution above the default.Apple discussion thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250963040For those without AppleID:...

Re:Making S3 More Resilient Using Lambda Edge on Monday December 16, 2019 @09:13PM (#21809820)
My concern is you (contentful) are leading folks down a bad path. Adding complexity, code, cost and a larger surface area of services that need to be up.

Confused - why not use CloudFront Origin Groups? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/Develope...

Full disclosure, I've never used, but pretty sure this feature was created for the scenario you are trying to solve.

Re:We 30x'd our Node parallelism on Friday December 13, 2019 @10:27AM (#21782372)
Agreed. This is the second scratch my head moment from the Plaid engineering team blog recently.
Re:We 30x'd our Node parallelism on Friday December 13, 2019 @10:25AM (#21782362)
I’d be curious to hear your reevaluation of moving this to Lambda after some of the major announcements during re:invent. My guess is some of the reasons you went ECS have been addressed with these announcements. Obviously some of the new features are still preview, but would be interested to hear your analysis none the less.
Re:Using Makefile(s) for Go on Tuesday December 10, 2019 @01:59PM (#21755662)
I think the example discussed in this blog is selling Make short. A more complete example with: protoc(protobuf), Docker, DynamoDB local, go modules (and vendoring), and testing can be found at https://github.com/rynop/abp-sam-twirp/blob/master/Makefile
Re:AWS Launches HTTP APIs for API Gateway on Wednesday December 04, 2019 @10:02PM (#21709613)
You should really change the title as your selling the significance of this short. A feature I (and many others) that have been hoping for is a DRASTIC price drop in APIG. This IS it.
Agree, "most" was a bad word choice, "some" is probably better.
I have a simple low tech solution that is practical for m̶o̶s̶t̶ some.

Change your number to an area code that is outside of where you live - ideally a different state altogether.

If you get a call from an area code outside of where you live it’s probably Robo. If you get a call from area code of where you actually live, it’s probably legit. Ex: kids school, daycare, healthcare provider etc.

Re:How Far Out Is AWS Fargate? on Thursday August 15, 2019 @09:27AM (#20704964)
I have a CI/CD driven AWS Blueprint for Fargate - with a bunch of other production grade best practices built in. Should get you up and running in under an hour (much less if your experienced with AWS). https://github.com/rynop/aws-blueprint
Totally read it the same way. Was let down a bit
Re:Gist Is Down on Monday July 22, 2019 @11:41AM (#20499039)
`git push` failing as well
How does this impact CloudFront origin domain names? I have an s3 bucket as a CF origin and the format the AWS CF Console auto-completes to is:

<bucket>.s3.amazonaws.com

Do I need to change my origin to be, Origin domain name: s3.amazonaws.com, Origin Path: <bucket>

This is a sneaky one that will bite lots of folks as it is NOT clear.

Wonderful talk. Thank you for sharing this.
Creator here. Admittedly this app is only useful for a handful of people. I wanted to tackle an unsolved problem for my 1st app. Thought this was a nerdy yet novel solution.

Open to feedback and suggestions. My current line of thinking is maybe I should donate it to an org like https://github.com/guardian . Thoughts?

Same experience, huge turn-off. I was hoping for `.dev` to be free and along the lines of letsencrypt.org. Very disappointed
