Curious to hear about what prompts power this.

I would 100% vote for you!

That's totally fair feedback. Particularly optionality having been removed from proto2 to proto3 is confusing.

The default transport (gRPC) certainly is, but HTTP RPC translation/gateways are easily generated.

Gotcha. I think this might be where Protobuf falls short because you have to "source" the tooling for all its different outputs, but support for OpenAPI 3.0 spec generation has existed for over a year.

What does this do that Protobuf doesn't?

Amazon is great at a lot of things, but AI and Machine Learning aren't it. From what I saw when I worked there, they don't have the talent to produce their own models (which is, I think, what we all expected to see), but the surprising thing is that they haven't partnered yet.

I lived in Ottawa at the time these protests were going on. These people weren’t there to protest. They were there to antagonize.

Normal and acceptable are two very different things. Another post from earlier mentioned other shady practices from them, so I wanted to bring this up too.

I got tired of getting pings from Netflix, so I finally opened the app and tried looking for the setting to disable them. Apparently they opt you in to these by default, and the only way to disable them, according to the help article, is through the OS’ settings directly.

Keep in mind that this isn’t rooted in any specific best practices. It just felt right.

The Reddit API usage is as efficient as it can be, server wise, although I’d like to be proven wrong by them.

As far as the app goes, an average of ~330 reqs/user/day is pretty good, considering they built the platform budgeting for 86,400.

HN is a whole other beast. A notification server would have to keep track of any replies to any of your comments / submissions in order to determine what to notify you about, purely because they don’t have a notification model.
