The article's price tag of $2.3 MM for 12 HP Servers with 24 cores per server and 166 GB of RAM each is ridiculous. We just paid just under $50k per server for on-prem physical servers that have 144 cores per server and 1.5 TB of RAM e

I always say the best way to learn a new technology is to work on a real-world project that you are interested in. The person that set this up got an amazing education on use of real-world AWS services. A lot of IT people aren't aware

Is PBS not a non-profit? Because they'll give me perks for donating certain levels but won't give them to me if I don't donate at certain levels. There are plenty of non-profits that give similar benefits if you donate. Even

What does cloud computing mean to you? It seems like you are thinking of traditional “virtual machines in the cloud”. When I think of AWS for new development I mostly think of serverless technologies like Lambda, DynamoDB and even serverles

You’re correct but don’t take into consideration things like child tax credits. I have family members that pay a total of $400 in tax yet receive a $9,000 or more “refund” due to various credits. So yes, there is a sizable portion of the po
