This is a very basic introduction to dead letter management. Please let me know if there’s any interest and we can go into further detail.

This is a master class. So many good tidbits.

If they are successful I think it’s entirely possible that people will switch back to using Google and away from DDG if they can be certain their data is kept private.

In addition to not stalking you across the web DDG also does not store data on you even when using their products directly. For me that is still cause for my use of DDG.

I always wondered where the name cat came from which the article doesn’t address. Any ideas?

It's short for conCATenate.

original man page: http://man.cat-v.org/unix-1st/1/cat

And that was because it's function was/is to concatenate files:

cat f1 f2 f3 >f4

In the earliest references, it was "concatenate". It wasn't until 7th edition UNIX (1979) that "catenate" was given.

References:

- 1971 draft (pre 1st edition) of the paper that would become the well-known 1974 CACM UNIX paper (earliest documentation on `cat` that I can find): https://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/Research/McIlroy_... (tune in on page 28)

- 6th edition cat(1) man page (1975): http://man.cat-v.org/unix-6th/1/cat

- 7th edition cat(1) man page (1979): http://man.cat-v.org/unix_7th/1/cat

Latin root word "catena", meaning "chain".

Latin root "con-" ("com-") meaning "with," or "together." As in, "concatenate" means something like, "chain together."

I think there’s a much easier way to do this with Jekyll and s3_website. I describe the setup here: https://www.cannon.codes/static-site-generator-evaluation/

Maybe it just serves as a reminder to update Go?

Is it just me or does this look like AWS Data Pipeline with an actually feature-complete and usable user interface?

I just spoke one of the folks here who's PM for Glue. He confirmed that Glue will be superseding Data Pipeline, and it's basically the same team working on it.

Data Pipeline was a great version 1 of this idea, but the lack of functionality in the UI really killed it for me. It seemed inevitable that I would end up just writing the JSON configuration by hand.
