fhoffa·last year·discussI like this. Using Twilio and other similar tools to send texts has become too hard lately - especially given all the verifications you need to go through.Thanks for sharing!
fhoffa·2 years ago·discussHi, Felipe at Snowflake here.Here is the latest from Snowflake on this issue: https://community.snowflake.com/s/question/0D5VI00000Emyl00A...We'll keep updating that URL with any further news.
fhoffa·3 years ago·discussYou think we are disagreeing, meanwhile I just love how much I've learned (and confirmed) thanks to your replies. Thanks for sharing!
fhoffa·3 years ago·discussThis is awesome, thanks for all the background info. Now let me give you an example of App Engine deprecating stuff:- In 2012 App Engine deprecated the "Conversion API".- They notified this deprecation in August 2012, and they told users it would stop working only 3 months afterwards.- You were affected by this deprecation.- You created an alternative to it, that worked on Heroku.Source: https://groups.google.com/g/google-appengine/c/-JJccGx5RRk/m...Did I get this right?You are awesome. We are just choosing to remember the past with different colored glasses.
fhoffa·3 years ago·discussWait, you just said in a separate comment that you migrated away from App Engine.You also just said that you used it very effectively back when it was a different thing.I think we agree in many more ways than we disagree.Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38020604
fhoffa·3 years ago·discussHave you actually been using it for 15 years?My guess is not, or you would have a different opinion. But that's just a guess
fhoffa·3 years ago·discussAppEngine today is wildly different to the App Engine I fell in love with 15 years ago.Since you're checking notes, please check out all the AE service deprecation notes.Disclosure: I worked for Google for ~10 years, and I fought internally many of those deprecation decisions. I did not succeed.
fhoffa·3 years ago·discussFWIW, I now analyze the Stack Overflow dumps on Snowflakehttps://medium.com/snowflake/how-to-load-the-stack-overflow-...
fhoffa·3 years ago·discussLooking at that source, there's a pretty straightforward explanation of where the page views come from.- Last month, Stack Overflow had ~142,575,642 visits.- Last month, Google gave 127,896,508 visits to Stack Overflow- Last month, Bing gave 7,491,274 visits to Stack OverflowYou could say that the Stack Overflow # of pageviews depends mainly on:- How often people are searching Google/Bing for answer.- How often Google/Bing rank Stack Overflow high enough for people to click into it.
fhoffa·3 years ago·discussI love this, thanks!How we could we add Snowflake to the compatibility matrices?It's popular enough to deserve it, IMHO.https://db-engines.com/en/ranking
fhoffa·3 years ago·discussI've seen the opposite: It's hard to find a large company that doesn't use Oracle (but many would love to get away from it)See this chart from Gartner DBMS Market Share stack ranks - Oracle was #1 for a long time:- https://www.linkedin.com/posts/aronthal_dbms-gartnerda-cloud...Snowflake is now #9 on this chart.(high res: https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/D4D2CAQGZqgH3ta2R0A/commen...)
fhoffa·3 years ago·discuss"More popular"? Citation needed, please.In terms of measuring popularity, I lovehttps://db-engines.com/en/rankingGoogle Trends is interesting toohttps://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=2021-04-24%202...Disclosure: I work for Snowflake
