Agreeing here. If you can't run your code without AWS or whatever your vendor is, you got bigger problems.

I'm talking about the core business code. Ops is important but replaceable.

The reason they can't hire is because it is illegal and opens you up to be compromised. It's that simple. Drug dealers can put you, your family, and work in a shitty situation because they need more money because of something happening to them.

The risk is too high for law enforcement. Once Congress changes the law they won't give a shit.

I enjoy Clojure dependencies. They are usually more succinct than other languages.

On: Building blocks of Amazon ECS

[boogiewoogie]

My understanding is ECS can run multiple tasks and services while a beanstalk just runs one.

[hardwaresofton → boogiewoogie]

Yeah maybe it just wasn't for me -- with RDS as the database and ElastiCache for redis, all we needed was to run the API server (one container, we don't even have any like queue job workers or anything). When I started looking into how to run containers on AWS ECS seemed like the best fit.

Sort of. You can actually do a multi-container deployment in Elastic Beanstalk. I did that the other day with 1 EC2 instance and it deployed both containers to the same instance. I don't know what the behavior is if you have multiple containers and multiple VMs though.

One of the other annoying limitations of a single container deployment on Elastic Beanstalk is that you can only open a single port to the docker container - which is really problematic in a lot of situations.

Pretty much that. Forward some X11?

Tails isn't a VM. It's a LiveCD.

I'd rather see how the top touring bands are distributed.

On: What it feels like to get hit by a pitch

[boogiewoogie]

If the umpire thinks it's intentional then the pitcher will be ejected. Or if only the batter thinks it was intentional then you might have a brawl https://youtu.be/4APOqlpyseM

A recent example of this is Bryce Harper being nailed by Hunter Strickland and taking it personally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w6tEO81kAY

For debugging try https://cursive-ide.com it uses intellij and has improved nicely in the past year.
