and by I, I mean Sam Keen did all the work (I just cheer him on in slack)

I wrote one of these but it only works for residents of san marino

Soon available for people in the Vatican as well?

I can download an APK and install it on android. Why can't I use my iphone like I use my macbook?

An underrated question. The answer of course is twofold:

* Paternalism (Apple believes users are too stupid to be trusted to control their devices, and no amount of "I really know what I'm doing" confirmations could change that)

* Apple's biggest fear is being disintermediated by Google or Meta, the way WeChat did to phone manufacturers in China. An ability to side-load an app could allow a foothold for a powerful competitor who could wean you off of all their lock-in features in favor of an experience that would tie into a competing ecosystem.

Apple would like your macbook to be more like your iphone: applications only via their store, thank you very much.

But it isn't worth the bother; the macbook market is much smaller than the iphone market.

uptime of 100% -- time to update that number :p

I laughed out loud at that 100 number too when I was reading statuspage :P

it lacks flexibility but i really enjoy grpc-gateway for 99% of my work

gRPC-GW is the way… if you’re fully bought in into Go. A bit harder sell if you’re on other platforms - you need specialized proxy infra

aws says no issue. It's very frustrating having problems but the company won't admit it's their problem.

When Apple was having issues a few weeks ago, commenters seemed impressed and relieved that it was reported truthfully on their status page, including the honesty to mark services with red dots instead of the usual “Some users may experience degraded performance” codswallop https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34916962

Getting good reporting on down status is unfortunately the pointy end of Goodhart’s Law. No real way to guarantee good reporting will happen, even Apple’s status page would likely start lying if anything started materially depending on it.

I've always been a fan of how far they're willing to stretch the technically correct "Some customers are experiencing higher error rates" status.

go step into the world of "covid vaccines are bad!" for a second (/r/newnormal) and you'll rescind this statement. It's getting out of hand, between misinformation and politicizing how we treat an infectious virus.

Excuse me, it isn't a real frontend without a service worker and offline capabilities.

I'm personally using chaos-toolkit with the kubernetes and istio drivers. I haven't dug too much into this yet, but will. Thanks for the hard work!
