I know a colleague that worked on Alexa stuff and he said they did use AWS infrastructure and part of his job was reducing the cost Alexa paid to AWS...

They are also built especially for developers and this lets more developers know more about their platform. I'm guessing this goes a long way to improving relationships in the community and just good PR for twilio as well. Twilio was

Cool. I did not know that. Thanks for the clarification.

Interesting. A scraper scraping a scraper. I don't get what the value add is over clients just searching Google Flights directly. Not trying to be mean, just trying to understand.

We refer to the dead weight as riders. they're just riding along for the journey but they don't actually provide any actual value to the company. At a startup, those are the first people to go during layoffs or during other down

The last 6 months I worked at a large for profit education company all I ever worked on or "released" were simple configuration changes. it was a struggle to find things to fill my day with.

I loved galaxies back in the day. I was online when the first Jedi was unlocked that was a momentous occasion.

I was hoping this was more of a 3d first person perspective ala Ready Player One / Oasis style. I would so throw money at that. Playing through Zork in VR First person style would be fun.

Yes but sadly people are still people.. they will take their problems with them.

Ah foot guns. I miss them so. But really, I've been struggling learning swift... I became the iOS developer with little to no experience.

I have a similar starting point. Civilization was one of the first the only games my computer could play at the time. I remember racing in the middle school in the mornings to get some time on SimCity 2000 with my buddies. We had one city

Most Uber drivers I know do it full time that is a side job like pizza delivery kids. The difference is I think people think Uber is a full-time job.

This has been amazing for the ApiGateway swagger files. There is quite a bit of duplication and splitting it up let's us only write the common stuff one time.. error code handling, common request templates, etc...

That's a great use case for lambda. Small self contained scripts/jobs that don't charge you all day to be available once.

Yeah a swagger file broken up with multi-file-swagger npm module works great

The fact that some specific attributes or options cannot change after creation is hard too. Other than that, it's not too bad. But like you said, setting it up takes effort, but a lot of programming is getting to a non trivial hell

The name/title doesn't always apply, true. But sometimes it really does. Most blanket statements have flaws in them...

Right could we focus that? I'm not sure how much heat it is but I dont like the idea of the fridge just dumping heat into my kitchen while the air pumps push cold air into the same room

I haven't bought a console since the Wii. With xbox vs Playstation battles, do people often switch consoles, have both or stick to their favorite? It almost seems similar to iOS vs Android in some ways.

Sounds like ready player one before the contest. When did it come out?

Yeah I miss even the 10 minute drive home transition from work to home mode.

I've done that 3 or so times now and each time it just sits there and does nothing. Would be super cool though. I raid the neighbors citrus trees (with permission) and also prickly pear cactus fruit to make fancier lemonade.

I remember transformers being one of the worst. Evey episode introduced new "characters"... Voltron was good, and then they needed a robot with like 50 cars that made up the big guy so there were more toys to sell.

I think the car rule is more often don't by a 50k car if you make 50k a year. Also related, cars go down in value. They are cool to own but by no means an investment. They are a utility to get you around and more specifically to your
