Your experiment has #samples = 1 and no external variables control, yet I absolutely believe the reported outcome.

>Oil consumption has been increasing primarily because the price has been declining Not arguing, but here's the data that should be reconciled: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/world-crude-oil-price-vs-...

idk. Global oil consumption has been steadily ramping up 1-2%/year with little regard to renewables or climate crisis. The increasing penetration of renewables is dwarfed by increased population + raising living standards.

So it'll be like voice control where I have to speak slowly and clearly, hide my accent, control my pronunciation... just to get Siri to tell me the weather... but with my thoughts ? I don't even know how to think slowly and clea

As a pointless counter-story, I almost ran over a dude laying in the middle of a highway. Another driver and me pulled off, drugged him to the sidewalk (he was heavy and strong, but not violent per-ce), and we sat on him until police came a

I know this is a cliché, but a fraud detection system cannot work transparently. Also for fairness - Does Akamai publicize the internals of BotManager? Imperva gives you much transparency into how DistillNetworks works?

Not to contradict you, but had we the Spanish flu today you'd get 300mm dead within a year, and about 2.5 Billion people hospitalized... that would far exceed any humanitarian crisis we can currently imagine.

But they do go away. They go straight away to a vendor which is very likely to address them faster, and with more competent resources, than you and your team (or, if that sound insulting - me and my team). They become covered with that famo

If Israel is "more entrepreneurial" than Germany (and it's probably not), it would be due to IDF tech leakage and the very supportive international Jewish community (that one is difficult to measure, but as this whole thread

This is indeed a Pavlovic response :) The promise of serverless is pretty simple, and pretty useful for the right use case - be it unpredictable load, or just very low load, or very frequent deployments, or pricing segmentation, or you do

by avip 7y ago
There are enough results to prove that serverless is useful (may I say, correct ) architecture in many use cases. Not everyone is dumb, contrary to a common belief. Don't be religious.

You imply that exporting things to svg is “modern habit”, but it’s just a tribal ceremony of your specific tribe.

I think, and I'm replying to both above comments, that there's a non-trivial cost reduction + DevOps reduction potential here. Of course, the overarching rule is always "if it works, don't touch it".

First, that's a great stack and very well written/presented. One comment - he dismisses serverless as being overengineering . I think the correct POV, moreso for the single-man company, is that running a server to perform a task

In India I had to give a photocopy of my passport, my permanent address in India, and a letter of referral from an Indian citizen to get my Airtel sim card. It was one of the weirdest experiences I've had in the country.

Thirded. An obvious consequence of 9-5 programming schedule is any other hobby takes precedence. In fact, I strive (and struggle) to power off my laptop and put it in the closet when home.
