Oh, yeah, we just ran into this recently when rolling-out parameter store. For anyone else having this problem, the trick was to use the GetParametersByPath API method ( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest

It's not just naive though, it's wrong; it won't even give you new objects although it seems like it's meant-to: a = [1, {foo: "bar"}]; b = a.slice(0); b[1].foo = "baz"; console.lo

I believe that it's faster, but only because it's not actually deep-cloning. This: value.slice(0); is a shallow clone; it makes a new array, but doesn't clone it's contents.

I'm not a fan of over-regulation, but there are definitely some public good issues with plumbing in particular which justify some scrutiny by the state. For example, a bad/ignorant plumber could build a system where small quantiti

Yeah, but the vast majority of Australia's economy (just like the US and all other developed countries) is services, not resources or manufacturing or farming. We just talk about resources because they're a distinguishing feature.

What? No. You just bring-up a replica, compact that (or do any other slow operation you want), wait for it to catch-up, then fail-over, making the replica the new master. There's no excuse for doing slow, blocking maintenance operation

Collections with tens of Gigabytes and hundreds of millions of records can take a few hours per-node to build an index. You'll need to think about index migration strategies before that point though. I'd guess that once you have g

I do the same, but instead of switching/patching the JSON parser, I replace it with a YAML one. YAML was designed to be a superset of JSON precisely so that it could be used as an upgrade path. It also allows comments and neat multilin

Honestly, I don't know why Apple don't implement U2F on the secure enclave (activated via the TouchId sensor); it seems like such an obvious move. Maybe they're trying to get iCloud and Safari support all ready to release at-

I'd wager that some will survive by: 1) Getting very close to the crops and intertwining with them to make weeding very hard 2) Looking almost exactly like real crops (as-in, to the point where most humans can't tell the differenc

The best part? Weeds will still evolve resistance — just like they do for herbicides — but they'll do it by growing into shapes that the ML models misclassify.

Python was already strongly typed; the new type annotations just allow it to be explicitly typed too.

I totally agree: small specialised modules are great. Underscore is only worthwhile if you need some significant fraction of it (but it makes for an easy example). I think 4. it actually really important — regardless of whether you're

If you're in a multithreaded context, then you need to handle locking of shared mutable memory; Ruby doesn't fix that for you (but it does make it pretty easy with stdlib Mutex and block syntax). MRI happens to make many basic o

I love this blog, but I'm not sure that I agree with this: > In my mind, I’d just rather not have a reject! at all, and callers who need to mutate an array in-place can figure out how to do safely with respect to their own use cases
