The counter argument might be that Ford F-150s aren't particularly fungible. A slightly stronger example might be gold, but people don't use gold as money anymore either.

I would find it really annoying yes. I used camo with a spare iphone that has a broken screen. Despite being quite happy with the image quality results, I found that the experience was frustrating enough that I don't bother using it

Misleading title, VPC endpoints aren’t a replacement for NAT gateways. Traffic destined for certain AWS services can be offloaded to a VPC endpoint, when it otherwise may have been routed via your NAT gateway. However you still need somet

Aren't US homes running at 120 volts? 22kw at 230 volts would be ~95 amps. 22kw at 120 volts would be ~183 amps. 48kw at 120 volts would be 400 amps.

At this site I think the generators are outside, but there are lots of facilities that keep their generators inside the main structure.

Does anyone have more information about how this is enforced, and how non-compliance is penalized? Can a manufacturer be non-compliant and pay a per-device penalty?

Docker on macOS already has some kind of qemu based solution for running x86_64 containers on m1. Potentially this could be used as an alternative?

I know some prominent HN users work for fly.io, and they seem to be doing some interesting work, but the absolutely glowing response that every blog post gets here on HN seems a bit nepotistic.

Lambda is fundamentally message oriented, you send an invoke request, lambda will either route the request to an existing warm instance, or will boot a new instance, it processes the request, then once the request is processed it will suspe

The main thing I use mygov for is doing my tax, and it works fine. Given all the complaints I see here about the lack of a US government online tax app, we seem to be doing better in that regard, although I imagine the US tax landscape is

Lambda function code tends to be fairly single threaded, as others have mentioned, using a lower memory size with Lambda, also lowers the amount of CPU performance available. However, it appears to not only lower the amount of cores availab

Also given that a lambda instance can only handle one request at a time, it generally gets very poor CPU utilization. Google cloud-run can handle multiple requests at a time, but still suspends the instance while no requests are being proce
