I had an off-site interview experience with Amazon a few years ago, they came over from the US/Canada to London and held a hiring event in a hotel. You got put in a room and went through 4 face to face interviews which were very gruell

The UI for Cloudwatch Logs completely crumbles if you use it for Lambda functions, especially if you have a lot of executions. We run ETL pipelines and have lambda as a component of that, maybe 250k-500k invocations a day. If you want to se

I'm from the UK and I use my credit card for 99% of my discretionary spending, mainly for the perks, but also section 75. So the features in these challenger banks are largely useless to me, and I track all my finances elsewhere anyway

I was commenting more on the fact that the pencil and keyboard are sold separately, even though they're pictured extensively on the information page about the iPad Pro It gave me the impression they were included in the box

Another upvote for Starling here. I wasn't too impressed withthe other 'challenger' banks, but maybe I'm just too old for their target demographic.

This page makes it sound like the Apple Pencil and the foldable keyboard come in the box, when in fact they are sold separately and are very expensive. So on top of your £769 for the entry level 'Pro, the Pencil is an extra £119 and ke

In terms of "Apple units" it's a slight jump They tend to price their stuff in units of $100. So the jump is 2 'apple unit' uptick.

One thing that will be interesting around this is any future trade negotiations the UK has with the US, especially after we leave the EU. This tax will target the US giants.

Is anyone running this setup? The last time I used WINE was probably 12 or so years ago and I always got the impression it was a slow "it will do for now" experience Has it come on leaps and bounds since then?

The bit I find strange about this tracking is the whole daily spend thing. I track my finances too and I have many "zero-spend" days, but it doesn't paint a true picture because some costs come out all in one go (e.g. rent, b

Interestingly someone pointed me to this company recently https://aevy.com/about/dataprotection who scrape public data and resell it to recruiters. I downloaded the JSON document they had on me and it was pretty accura

Sort of reminds me of the video game "Hitman" where changing clothing to blend in with certain contexts is one of the main strategies. A few years ago a prankster here in the UK managed to get a job at a golf course, with the unif

I get up at 6:20am, leave the house at 7:15, get to work for 8:15 Go home at 4:15pm The sole reason why I do this is purely a matter of comfort on my commute, the London Underground is much more pleasant if you take the tube outside of the

In Java you can create a shared connection pool for AWS lambda functions, e.g. using DI and initialising your injector statically when classes are loaded by the JVM It relies on AWS using the same container/JVM for your invocations tho

the cynic in me thinks they could use the source to plant a backdoor in, then try to manipulate known targets into installing the tampered software under the guise of an update

I usually write data structures like Linked Lists when learning a new programming language. This was a critical mistake for me when learning Rust and led to many, many stumbling blocks

It will be interesting to see what they are gathering. My Pi-Hole blocks twitters analytics endpoint so I get an annoying name resolution failure when clicking t.co links

This brings back fond memories of being in secondary school (high school), and finding out you could circumvent the rudimentary "student friendly" restrictions of Windows 95/98/2000 by simply creating a shortcut to the C

That was a wonderful read, thank you. The post mentions that Google made some fixes and reverted them due to customer complaints, do we know what those fixes were? Have they fixed the issue?

What are people classing as personal projects here? I have a bunch of raspberry pi's running docker that I throw some things on to run, and have some custom scripts to pull a new image and restart the container when I want to do an upd

I looked at Kubernetes for personal stuff but the overhead was too much for something I'd rather just set and forget. My current solution is to just run docker on some raspberry pi's and have scripts to replace the container when

I use DDG as my daily driver. Shamefully I don't make extensive use of the features though (e.g. bangs etc), mainly because I forget them. It's a great search engine though and just gets out of the way to the point where I don&#x2

I host my blog on github pages but I always have that niggling doubt about it. My main issue with hosting the blog myself is the HN/Reddit hug of death. Does anyone have any experience around this? Do they use a CDN to take some of the

There's been plenty of public discussion, albeit in the tech community [1]. It's a hard issue to sell to people outside because most people don't care if a website is downloading 1mb or 100mb. [1] http://idlewords.

Thanks for this. It's pleasing to hear there might be a better way! I shot myself in the foot a bit when I saw the web worker thing working (ish!) and carried on down that path, so didn't really explore the other means with reques

Hey! Yeah there are bugs in the emulator so it's not time perfect, I've not really touched the emulator code in about 5 years so will take me some time to get back into it. Thanks for the tip about requestAnimationFrame (/u&#

I've noticed this too. Try reducing the frame rate lock (dropdown at the bottom) or hitting a few keys (e.g. arrow keys)
