Why HN links it

HN commenters link this blog for posts on choosing cloud regions by latency (including AWS region analysis) and on a distributed dataset approach for Haskell streaming. The comments do not judge the writing itself.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?

  1. I did some research about this a while back: https://utdemir.com/posts/choosing-cloud-regions.html#:~:tex... You are right, the best region that optimises median latency against all internet users over the world is `us-west-3`, which is Paris - I believe. Likely because it has much better latency towards Asia where the majority of internet users are. I also investigated which two regions to choose for a multi-region…

  3. found https://utdemir.com/posts/ann-distributed-dataset.html , which makes me think that kind of distributed approach could be workable for channable (the default existing backend spins up lambda workers and stores intermediate results in S3), but you'd need to write a different backend that farms out work to whatever worker machines you have available
