The recent days have been horrific. We can't become numb to repeated instances of illegal and unconstitutional action by government agencies. It's even worse when public officials are blatantly lying in ways that contradict dozens of pieces of video evidence.

Discovered today that "colorable" is a contranym -- it can take one of two opposite meanings, either "seemingly valid" or "intended to deceive".

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court rules virtualization illegal. "The kernel executive may not be denied full access to hardware."

Kagan, writing for the Court's SREs: "What, we're using Docker now? What the fuck."

Ehh. My endorsement is more narrowly about Runza. Although: SAC museum is neat!

I only know about Runza but the conclusion seems inescapable.

Also. The deep and rich meaning that "nuanced" carries there. Excellent.

Thank you for the peek behind the curtain! It's delightful to learn the real world and my headcanon had some overlap. :)

The question there was why this was different from ElastiCache.

It seems like MemoryDB is an acknowledgement of how many shops use Redis as a *database* and not a *cache*
• AWS built a service with Redis
APl and performance profile but with DB-class durability.
And if you're selling durability you can't call it a
"cache"

That said, easy to imagine AWS thought customers would see a starker difference here than they have.
When you're AWS, the idea of putting data into something without strong durability is unthinkable.
If you're a startup, it's called Tuesday.

I am 1000% convinced AWS engineers launched MemoryDB (speaks Redis/Valkey but has a durability story) as a "mission of mercy".
