There are a few problems with the very simplistic statistics in this article: 1) These stats don't account for growth in employee base. If a company is growing their employee base by hiring new employees they could have 0% attrition an

A Node.js REST API can handle a significant volume of incoming requests with only 50mb-75mb of RAM. For reference here is a load test of handling around 75k-80k reqs/min using node.js containers deployed using Amazon ECS. Each node.js

To be honest you are better off not applying to companies and instead building out a LinkedIn by doing open source projects and consulting. If you do this you will get a nonstop stream of company recruiters contacting you. On the other hand

Having a certification can help in some rare cases, but it is by no means necessary. For reference I have never taken an AWS certification exam in my life, but my career so far has taken me from college dropout, to working at a startup that

In NYC Verizon has an issue where they haven't purchased enough bandwidth into NYC from the Youtube servers. I just turn on my VPN (VyperVPN) which has great bandwidth to the YouTube servers and I get crystal clear 4K streaming. It&#x2

I'd love to hear more about this problem and see if we can get to a root cause and help you resolve it, because it does not sound like standard ECS behavior. Please email peckn@amazon.com and I can connect you to the right people to fi

I'm currently a developer advocate for ECS at AWS, so I'm pro ECS as you'd expect. But before I worked at AWS I used ECS in production (since the early beta). At the time we ran a microservices deployment of ~15 services on ~

As much as I like the interactive map the truth is it makes things look way more shadowed than they actually are because its showing the averages of shadows from all time of the year and all times of the day. The reality is that most of the

Exactly this. I appreciate tarot cards because the symbolism stimulates your imagination and helps you to think of new ways to solve problems, or new perspectives on things in your life. The approach of mentally asking a question or thinkin

If I understood the point of the article correctly the author addressed this pretty well. Just like candy store employees were too sick of candy to bother stealing candy, the kids who are raised in an electronic environment are also desensi

Yeah I got annoyed for the same reason and used the Personal Blocklist Chrome extension to block WSJ from showing up in my search results at all. And recently I had to add Forbes to the same list.

Yeah it isn't so much conjuring new concepts as it is that the hallucinating mind connects existing concepts in ways never experienced before. So someone would never normally connect the concept of their self identity with the concept

I wonder if this also has to do with the mythology of Western religion that says humans are fundamentally flawed and bad. Western religion tends to promote this idea that we are fundamentally bad and our only hope for salvation lies in Jesu

Yep, there is the autoInject which injects previous dependent functions return values as parameters instead of as properties of a context object, so that may help some, but it still breaks typechecks. I wish that promises had a concept simi

I'm just too hooked on the async.auto() pattern to give up callbacks. The ability to break a large flow down into functions and then use a dependency based structure to automatically execute the flow with the most optimal concurrency i

In NYC its actually illegal to do a short term sublet of an entire apartment. So this is a common workaround so they can give you a short term sublet. They can claim that they just rented you some space from their office so they don't

Usually the only thing that should be shared is base process bootstrap related code. So for example I've used a shared lib in a microservices environment which had common boilerplate code for starting a web server that connected to a d

A classic example that I've encountered would be using some custom web socket RPC protocol for communication between microservices instead of just using plain HTTP. It can be tempting because an engineer thinks "I can optimize thi
