I'm currently listening to this too, probably have about 30 minutes to go. Oddly I listen to it in bed just before I go to sleep, I find Dan's voice very soothing

This was a really fun read, thanks. I first made it onto the web in 1999, those were the days!

tbh you'll be better off just sticking with python for now, until you understand what's going on.

The example of your gun friend, maybe he doesn't feel confident about running a business? Doing the manufacturing etc is only one part of the process.

There's a bit in the video that displays the guys emails, and then a list of phone numbers from his missed call list. Hopefully he gave consent for that to be shown on camera? Anyway, it's really cool how well the VO stuff seems t

I'm presuming you already have plans in place to pay the VAT on any charges you accrue though, it doesn't look like Google do this. This is what worries me the most, plus Google stipulate that your usage of the cloud platform mu

Has anyone from the UK/Europe been able to successfully sign up to GCP? I can't seem to select "Individual" when I sign up, it permanently selects "Business" and asks for a VAT number. I don't want to lie

The string reverse question is a pretty poor one in my opinion, you'd be better off with FizzBuzz. The smart arse answer to your question would be new StringBuilder("my string").reverse().toString()

> By the way I got one of those in my interview day at Google, and another at Amazon, and I blew them both. Interesting to hear this, can't have done that badly as he got jobs at both of those companies!

Never heard of it before this article came out. Is this just a US/Canada thing? I remember my parents having an old-school pressure cooker 20 years or so ago.

Do you live outside the UK? The BBC is publicly funded, visitors to BBC news from outside the UK will get served ads.

It's quite a clever and elaborate social engineering scam, especially using the stolen data to use as a tool to get the mark to believe the call is genuine.

The author talks about wanting to do VR/gaming development, which is probably better homed on Windows anyway Also he mentions this in his post > (I now use a 12" MacBook for on-the-go productivity) Seems a bit strange to spend

The code in question is actually 9 years old and I wouldn't exactly call the article fawning over brilliance, in fact the author discusses the fact that a lot of things changed in the language over time and the code itself is quite clu

I've interviewed with one of the "big 4" before, their interview process was very structured and very gruelling. Didn't get the job, feedback was that I wouldn't even meet their junior developer criteria. I'm n

I always found the cold, hard manner of border agents in the US quite off putting in general. Last year I was fortunate enough to attend AWS Re:Invent, standing in the queue at McCarran airport, I saw the guard laughing and joking with the

I highly doubt this claim, humans make mistakes regardless of the control method. In this particular case the scripts didn't have adequate protections in place, but that's the benefit of hindsight

Really pleased to see this, it's good to see an organisation that's being transparent (and maybe given us a little peek under the hood of how S3 is architected) and most importantly they seem quite humbled. It would be easy for an

The blog post talks about triggering the workflow off an upload to S3, but neglects to discuss the critical step around the fact that you need a Lambda function to trigger the step function state machine (if you have a look at the github it

Can someone explain why Cloudflare parse the HTML in the first place. Is there some sort of information extraction feature service or something they offer? I don't get it.

By your description I thought she'd just created 5 or so examples, I wasn't expecting such a breadth of stuff! Did she talk about advantages/disadvantages to this approach? Does she use this daily?

We get around this by using a dependency injection framework (e.g. Guice) and initialising the module statically, so it will only get called once when the JVM loads (i.e. when the Lambda 'warms up') and then inject the dependencie
