Thanks I'll check it out. I'll add my own recommendation: anything by China Mieville. Although he does have a few books that are set in the same fantasy world they are each stand alone storylines although they may loosely referenc

So far scientists haven't found anything special about the human brain that can't be mimicked by a machine. Given enough neural connections, and a large enough data set, and a long enough training period there is no reason to thin

There are a number of differences, but in specific the way deployments work is a good example of the difference between EB and ECS. Due to the way EB works the only way to get zero downtime deploys in EB is by having two environments and sw

I'm using ECS to run a small cluster of 25 odd microservice containers of three different categories spread out over a number of instances. I'd second your opinion that it still feels like a preview. There are some rough edges tha

This site's usage of browser is ridiculous. Every time you move forward or backwards it adds another history entry, making your back button pretty much useless. If they want to provide deep linking to a particular map location they sho

If you show up late and leave early then expect to get some pushback. If you show up late and then stay late I find most companies don't care. I generally get to the office at 10:30, but then work a ten hour day.

There is a minor bug: Any mouse event over the control panel, even a mouse wheel spin, causes the drum to stop and or start. This leads to strange starts and stops of the drum if you happen to zoom in while hovering over the control panel.

At the startup I work at we distribute an Ubuntu VM image powered by Vagrant ( https://www.vagrantup.com/ ) for developers and they can run it on any host system they want. Of course in practice we all end up running the VM o

Don't worry about success of your idea if your primary focus is gaining experience. If you get some success as a side effect then that is a nice bonus, but the more important thing is that you gain experience and practice which makes y

All true. However the interesting dimension for Tesla is that they also sell more than just cars now. They would probably have a hard time getting a car dealership to sell a Powerwall, but with their own Tesla branded store they can sell yo

The best way to practice interviewing in my opinion is to just do it. Go to your LinkedIn and send a boilerplate message to all the recruiters that have ever contacted you: "Hey this sounds interesting. I'd love to learn more.&quo

Which frankly is the same thing that many Silicon Valley startups do, except the investors have far more experience, yet still put money in. Frankly investing is a risk, and if you aren't willing to take that risk then you shouldn&#x27

This is the key. The OP's major complaint is with prebuilt containers from potentially untrustworthy sources, but he passes this off as a fundamental problem with containers themselves. The reality is that you can (and probably should)

Awesome! Looks like I'll be giving Atom another try soon.

I've tried making the switch last week but Atom is still missing some very essential basics for me, such as the ability to quit the app, reopen it, and have it automatically restore the same views, layout, files, and cursor location it

So in Node.js this would be accomplished by using a shared data store like Redis. For example I run eight processes per c3.xlarge instance, and the instances share a Redis which contains data like that. Particularly indexes could be stored

I ended up replying to one of your other comments with more details but the answer to this problem is streams. You can use streams for any and all incoming data, whether it is file data uploaded via multipart upload from a browser, or strea

by NathanKP 12y ago
There is no need to serialize large amounts of data. The way it is designed to work in Node is you use a stream. So for example lets say you have a multi TB data dump in Amazon S3, you want to process it, and then upload a transformed multi

Sorry you are getting a lot of downvotes. For what it is worth I don't think you deserve them, as your comments just show inexperience and lack of understanding of Node.js, and aren't trolling. However, I think you would be well s
