There were so many dummies out there saying those early M1 macbooks were doomed to fail early coz of high SSD swapping

Apple with their SoC really changed a lot of people's minds about hardware.

Some of us want to build and don't care that it doesn't monetise.

far out it's 10pm here and I was just about to sleep when my wife nugged me about a billing alert from AWS.

$151 billion the number for me.

Sean Carroll's Mindscape is my favourite.

Though sometimes it is very interesting and might delay sleep a bit

All good - it is something that has been over-complicated for marketing/product reasons.

If you know what A/B testing is, feature flagging can really allow you to nail down how you should deliver an experience to an end user.

We track end-to-end engagements on our websites based on how the content is displayed on a page with more performant layouts/content winning the test to drive users through the funnel.

I don't love it though because it's a lot of waste that gets left over and not cleaned up leaving billing to grow exponentially as flags are continually called for no reason.

That's not a feature flagging service then (config as a service! not a thing really...)

I've done both client and server side implementations of the launch darkly sdk and that's how it's done to know client context.

If you're initialising the entire SDK only to load 1 set of configuration items, I'd argue you can host the config as a json file on a CDN and be done with it - feature flagging is overkill.

Oh yeah lets make a web request per service invocation to figure out what to serve for the invocation!

Guys this is exactly the kind of banal crap that makes a simple app into a monsterous beast that won't work unless it's connected to the internet.

Hmmm 12K seems like a bit much, even if it's fintech.

They also didn't mention the company.

The title feels clickbaity as it's not specific to AWS API gateway and instead, the implementation of it.

And who hosts on blogspot...

a lot of AI is just wasteful like this.

there are a lot of parallels with crypto 'mining' a transaction and AI slopping a functional output.

so you take but you don't want to give?

perhaps try a different perspective of, "it's good i live in a place where we contribute for a common good"

they are greedy and don't want to pay their fair share.

people that count their tax dollars are usually very selfish to begin with.

i generally think the gov can do better with how money is spent though.

Wow what a trash discussion this was.

Turns out it was you who are polluting this community with low IQ takes.

Wow you sound very defensive.

If it's not obvious I meant breathing while sleeping at night in a sleep apnea discussion, I think you need to analyse your own internal bias and possible self-hate.

I'm very sure i have sleep apnea now as i wake up literally in panic where i'm not breathing + have a full bladder and need to go a few times a night (which i've read as a kidney response with sleep apnea).

As i said this all came about with extra weight gain in the past few months.

Do you run regularly?

Overweight by chance?

I've put on a bit of weight sunce having kids and my breathing at night is much worse than before.
