We use parameter store, the thing that makes me nervous about it is there's no SLA on it. As it's free, what incentive do they have to improve it? Additionally they might just retire it in favour of the secrets manager soon anywa

I have a throwaway account on reddit that I sometimes log in to, and it surprises me just how much worst the new reddit design is. It's so incredibly slow and seems to make my browser struggle. Old reddit is silky smooth. I really don&

I like the idea, but the weird mixed sizing of the headings throws me off a bit I suppose a weird mix of sizings is a key characteristic of brutalism though!

I think we have a similar problem here in the UK with 1 & 2 pence coins costing more than what they are worth. It's not entirely clear though as The Royal Mint doesn't reveal their production costs, but it really wouldn't

All those 'indie'/smaller titles out on PC? Most are out/coming out on switch and it's a delightful way of portable gaming. Right now I'm away from home, but have my switch with me so I can play them, and also

Never done any API/HTTP stuff with lambda, but I've built many ETL pipelines using it. A few years ago we tried the Kinesis -> Lambda thing, but it failed during a large traffic event. This was due to the way the Kinesis polle

I wish email had this feature. Sometimes I might ask someone to do something, and when they reply like "Done", it would be nice to just react with a thumbs up or something rather than continuing the chain of emails with a "Th

At work we have an enterprise contract with Slack, but the implementation is really strange. Before the contract, there were a lot of teams/departments using Slack, so naturally an assortment of team workspaces started to accrue. Once

It makes sense though. Microsoft already sense this (and have done for a few years now), most of their 1st party titles for XboxOne can also be played on Windows. Going forward it sounds like they want to further employ this strategy to ess

Maybe it's just laziness on my part, but I do tend to find that that Firefox running with 20-30 tabs, plus Docker plus a bunch of other apps (inc. Electron based ones...) eats up my 16GB of RAM quite easily. I really could do with a la

I was thinking of using ML for this approach too but tbh most of my transactions are predictable, just a simple hashmap of Payee->Account works just as well. Cleaning up the payees is the trickier part. I guess in cases like Amazon, wher

Off topic, but just looking through TechCrunchs GDPR options, they list at least 50 'advertising partners' who they work with to personalise your ads. I don't work for a company who runs sites like these, but is that normal?

I really like the budgeting approach in YNAB, but the software could do with some more reporting capabilities, as well as being able to track investments and so on. I've never found the 'perfect' piece of personal finance sof

AWS Athena is pretty good at tackling this problem, or PrestoDB running on EMR. As long as your S3 data is reasonably partitioned, and you don't have millions of small files, it does a reasonable job -even on count(distinct) It even su
