fhoffa·2 anni fa·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 anni fa·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 anni fa·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 anni fa·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 anni fa·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 anni fa·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 anni fa·discussFWIW, I now analyze the Stack Overflow dumps on Snowflakehttps://medium.com/snowflake/how-to-load-the-stack-overflow-...
fhoffa·3 anni fa·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.
