A "Library of Congress" for published web content maybe. Some sort of standard that allows / requires websites that publish content on oublic-facing sites to also share a permanent copy with an archive, without having the archive have to scrape it.

Sort of like how book publishers send a copy to the LoC.

I see. It seems like you may be one of the people that try to coerce relational models into nosql stores like Dynamo.

Or course it's possible. They even trick you into thinking it's a good pattern by naming things "tables".

But if you're using Dynamo to its fullest an ORM is not going to be able to replicate that into a relational store without some fundamental changes.

I am literally in the middle of swapping DynamoDB for a RDBMS.

The idea that you can abstract away such fundamentally different data stores is silly. While I hate doing it now, reworking the code to use relational models properly makes for a better product later.

Thomas Jefferson never added airplane safety regulations to the Constitution ergo, it's completely unregulated. Also, Justice Alito would like to cite a man with tapestries tied to his arms as he jumped off a cliff in the 9th century saying of course it's safe.

(11) Every old idea will be proposed again with a different name and a different presentation, regardless of whether it works.

My principle dev asked if we could figure out how to invoke Lambda functions from within postgres trigger functions.

I was like, "Probably. But it's like putting a diving board at the top of the Empire State building.. doable, but a bad plan all around."

Altruism is never going to be the way to get companies to do the right thing. Instead, making the wrong thing a financial liability is.

There's an IDE drive in a landfill somewhere with 10BTC on it because I'm fuckwit.

Preachin to the choir, friend. I'd get worked up about it but I'm paid the same regardless of how upset I get.

I do one, the other senior dev does the other. We fight about it in pull requests.

I admit, this news has made me add a note to re-download firefox on my work machine...

Consumer PCs are almost certainly not covered entities under HIPAA, nor is Microsoft in its role as an OS provider.

Even then, if this whole thing were to result in an inappropriate disclosure by a covered entity, the organization that processes the data would be liable, not Microsoft.

That's like blaming the building contractor because you left the door unlocked and someone came in and stole your cat.
