Most people don't have the financial wisdom to judge "too good to be true" on a macroeconomics basis. Specially not before the bubble burst, when even most experts regular people had access to thought there was nothing wrong

"To each their own" is when everything else is equal. I don't think that's the case comparing Linux to macOS. And I've used Linux for close to 8 years of my life, on and off, I'm not an Apple defender. Their OS

Wikipedia is informative, at the very least. It's the same reason why you don't see an outcry about people spending time at the library. Youtube can be informative as well, although the majority of it is not. I consider YouTube to

Honestly, I think people will disagree with me on this (due to some vague "you don't have to buy it" argument), but it's just too dishonest to me. This is possibly the biggest rip-off in pricing of any technical book I&#

My guess is he's probably using a JavaScript library to provide text justification. It has some pretty great typography for a web page, hyphenation on the margin and all that. Fancy stuff. Some parts are way better than what CSS gives

Almost everything? Aside from keeping an updated resume I've never had a single job come from it, nor anyone I know. As far as networking it's useless too. It's just recruiter spam and people you never met adding you to their

You guys should put up an example on how to convert a (small) test suit to use it, like you said you did in your top comment. The examples you have are cool but don't really help visualize that parallelism gain.

So basically if I had 200 automations I could run them on 200 lambdas and have them finish by the time the slowest one finishes? That pretty awesome, specially for testing. For many cases this would also fall under the free tier since it no
