   The best cloud platform out there

   You could say a lot of things about AWS, but among the cloud platforms (and I've used quite a few) AWS takes the cake. It is logically structured, you can get through its documentation relatively easily, you have a great variety of tools and services to choose from [from AWS itself and from third-party developers in their marketplace]. There is a learning curve, there is quite a lot of it, but it is still way easier than some other platforms. I've used and abused AWS and EC2 specifically and for me it is the best.

   👍 Pros:    Great documentation|Website structure visualization|You have control over everything|Flexibility

   👎 Cons:    Learning curve|A lot of dashboards for different things

• Postgres rewritten in Rust, now passing 100% of the Postgres regression tests

  > but it's still a singleton instance, so where do you run it? Most hardware doesn't give you enough uptime for what you need here, because what you actually needed was a re-architecture for distribution / failover / whatever, and while you could ask your LLM to do that you aren't going to run your bank on the result. If only we had a way to solve these issues with tools capable of running Rust programs in that... - Source: Hacker News / 25 days ago

• My Experience Moving from AWS to Sevalla

  Not because infrastructure isn't important. It is. Not because Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a bad platform. It isn't. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• How to Use Pre-Signed S3 URLs for Direct Browser-to-Storage Uploads

  The AWS S3 documentation covers all of these in detail. The configuration takes about an hour to get right the first time and rarely needs changes after. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Why Your File Upload Endpoint Times Out at 4GB

  The first pattern is direct-to-storage. The client uploads chunks directly to an object storage service like Amazon S3 using pre-signed URLs. The application server creates the upload session and grants permission but never sees the file bytes. This pattern scales well because the application servers do not handle the upload bandwidth. - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• So you wanna de-bog yourself

  Last night I happened to listen to an episode[1] on EconTalk where the author of the post (Adam Mastroianni, a psychologist) was a guest. Definitely worth a listen. Adam also supports "open science framework" (https://osf.io/) and publishes his research and related artifacts there, which I really appreciate!

• Ask HN: How to discover new and interesting papers?

  Here are a few options to consider. First, Google Scholar. If you're logged into Google it will make a handful of recommendations on its front page. I've not really paid attention to how good the recommendations are. It says they're based on your Google Scholar record and alerts, so I guess you'll need both/one of those for it to work. https://scholar.google.com Second, Scopus from Elsevier (a company that plenty... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Bad numbers in the “gzip beats BERT” paper?

  It's customary to use OSF (https://osf.io/) on papers this "groundbreaking," as it encourages scientists to validate and replicate the work. It's also weird that at this stage there are not validation checks in place, exactly like those the author performed. There was so much talk of needing this post-"replication crisis.". - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• For members of "science twitter" who are opposed to Twitter's recently deployed content-wall - what are some alternative platforms that help academics openly share and discuss scientific research?

  2.Open Science Framework - A non-profit (but not open source) "GitHub for scientific research" [4]. OSF is an incredible team and and product, that helps scientists openly publish their papers, datasets, code, and other research outputs. Their website is also geared towards a technical audience too - they help scientists store information, but they don't have a feature that helps users discover discuss new...
