> Edit: also fuck things like Lambda. It's literally the most horrible experience that the universe can muster. Moved most of our lambdas to simple boring http services on top of Go and just leave 20 instances running. Just not having to deal with CloudWatch saved us more money than Lambda could have.

imagine if instead of being a tied in to aws special interfaces lambda had shown up as closer to cloud run!

Though hopefully not the knative style that azure first went with and the LOOOOONG start times.


It'd still suck compared to a completely boring process you can just run on your desktop by ./'ing the executable and looking at the console output. Then chuck it in kubernetes as a ReplicaSet.

Have you seen the demo of what you can get with some wires and low friction traction options :P

medical industry must be going for some long term achievement in how much they disbelieve, mistreat, and degrade women going to them.

I wonder how many units of their training courses are spent on this and how much is spent on the cultural reinforcement of it.


Yes, let's pretend that the bias does not exist, that is helpful. It certainly doesn't have to do with the fact that it's currently a 60/40 split in active male vs female physicians. Or that women are more likely to be taken seriously by doctors:

    * https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10937548/
Are you really unwilling to admit that such a bias exists?

This seems like an especially bad faith interpretation of the comment you were responding to.

the cloud used because execs have already got a microsoft contract. (not to mention the fun licensing problem)

and many of those azure regions are a single DC or single cage in a single dc that you can walk past to find the bigger netflix pop.


> Azure support was completely worthless.

It's quite incredible that a support bill in the >10k per month range from azure makes the public google (not even GCP with a support contract) support look not crap


got to love how they're trying to hide the links.


get a travel agent?

Probably more reliable and corp ones exist.


> get a travel agent?

I think: to Uber founder, you’d have said get a driver or yellow cab :-)

To TurboTax founder, you’d have said get a tax accountant :-)


nope.

It won't even help you understand that the 20 second task you've been putting off for 6 months causing anxiety will only take 20 seconds (nor will we learn from this)


Or the fact that in the time it took me to read this thread I could have finished that task. Sometimes I really want to punch my brain in its stupid face lol.


> accessibility is like implementing braille and things for deaf and colourblind etc.

or

- larger fonts

- Better contrast controls,

- Non abstract art iconography,

- larger buttons and keyboard navigation,

- understanding that there are many types of colourblindness with different requriements,

- the ability to set lightmode on your app and website due to the issues reading text for anyone with astigmatisms,

- reducing the amount of animation or motion blur

The range of what accessibility is isn't small and some of it is going to be required for the vast majority of products. Also accessibility requirements change over time. eyes and hearing degrade. the desire to waste energy trying to find some stylish button that has no border and almost no contrast to indicate where it is goes away


sure, its much more likely even than your examples too...

was there a point you wanted to make or did you just want to elaborate on what accessibility means? im sure google can churn up tons more examples if u need em....
