AWS is fine, as long as you don't try to treat it like a cheap colocated server. Build for redundancy, replace resources when they fail (rather than necessarily trying to fix them), and you're good. AWS has some learning curve in

My sister in Geneva sources a lot of her food out of a community garden.

Agreed, but brand doesn't put food on the table!

It costs her time, at a minimum, which comes at the opportunity cost of other money-making ventures.

I'm aware. This thread is about Home. I've said similar in threads about Echo. :)

I do. And I recognize the hypocrisy of that. I think the difference for me is that my phone isn't a permanent fixture in my house - it's not explicitly a surveillance device. Echo/Home are explicitly audio surveillance device

When I was younger, I dreamed of something like this. Voice control for my home! A Star Trek computer that I can interact with conversationally! I just say what I want and it happens! Now, I just see an internet-connected microphone in a so

I don't have any problem with the Capistrano team promoting Harrow, but I'm really not pleased with unnecessary dependencies. The Ruby world already has a massive problem with transitive dependency bloat. Every additional dependen

Unless these folks had degrees in Working At Intel, losing a job is not the same as becoming permanently unemployable. Job loss sucks. But it's pretty hyperbolic to say it's destroying peoples' lives. Particularly for skill

It depends on the woman and the pregnancy. Some women do bounce back right after childbirth, but my guess is that's the exception rather than the norm. The combination of healing from childbirth (which can be minimal to significant for

Sounds to me like there's an opportunity to propel biology forward by teaching some biologists how to manage their code in a way that won't cost large amounts of productivity.

It's not equivalent, but it's roughly analogous from the Java programmer's perspective. You would spawn a new process much like you would start a new thread, but the similarities end there.

by cheald 11y ago
In Erlang, a "process" is analogous to a Java or Python thread in that it's not spinning up a separate OS-level process, but it really functions as its own self-contained process within the Erlang VM. Processes communicate wi

No, it would affect everyone - that's why it's so bad. HFT traders would just adjust their minimum spreads and continue on their merry way. Sanders' FTT doesn't attack the mechanisms of HFT, it attacks the markets as a w

I sent an email, but it looks like if RVM is installed, gitlab-rake may be depending on bundler being installed in the currently-active RVM environment. It looks like RVM may be conflicting with gitlab's bundled Ruby due to RVM setting

Not necessarily. Major accidents will have the police involved, small fender benders might be handled with just an exchange of insurance information. If there's substantial damage though, the police will probably get involved since a p

You can print money; if you hand a friend a piece of paper that says "I owe you $10" or "I owe you ten apples", you've printed money. The nominal economic value of that paper becomes the value of what it promises. Y
