The linked PDF with the Dutch version of the announcement has a clearly bogus map.

That's the way COBRA works though: you have 2 months to elect it, but if/when you do, you have to pay premiums starting from the moment you lost your original coverage (and have retroactive coverage).

For what it's worth, I do see "Go 1.x" as one of the choices when I try to create a new Lambda function in the console.

Also, it's immediately obvious to anyone who's ever ssh'd to a server on another continent. The added ~100 ms latency makes for a very different "feel".

The experience of 100 ms latency is definitely noticeable. Ask anyone who's ever ssh'd to a server across a continent or ocean. Empirically, I notice I have a lot more typos in such a situation.

Out of curiosity, how do you type "Dijkstra" in that case?

Why did they change things again or is this simply a 2-year process that is only now completing?

It's late and I'm tired and far from a SQL expert, so this may be a silly question, but why is the dense_rank needed instead of just using the event's timestamp directly in the 2nd query?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding your post, but any half-decent compiler should compile (x<32)?1:0 and (x<32) to exactly the same code, regardless of platform.

You could go even a step further and ditch the hash table altogether, and just use a 2^32 bit set. “Only” takes up half a gigabyte of memory.

Number 2 is cheating IMHO: it is invoking console.log just like 1, just wrapped in an immediately invoked closure. You can keep playing this game ad infinitum: (_ => (_ => console.log("2a"))()() (_ => (_ => (

I noticed the YHOO stock ticker is still active. Is that now the empty shell that still has the Alibaba stake, or something else entirely?

See also the discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14526156 I just can't fathom why any $5k/year in-app subscription should be legitimate.

The article was written by Mark Gurman who had an excellent rumor track record when he was at 9to5mac.

It looks like the 2016 MBP actually sold quite well in the last quarter, according to http://www.macworld.com/article/3163463/macs/apples-q1-2017-... Not sure whether that's because of pent-up demand and

Author says he needed a device that's capable of shaping 200 Mbps, and therefore the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter line is not adequate. However, just shaping traffic in the upstream direction (10 Mbps) is sufficient. An EdgeRouter can easily do

Not sure. Perhaps it might be a reference to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1518457 which caused 100% CPU usage (and thus throttling) on t2 instances in some cases.

From the moment this was launched I had wanted to buy one but never could find one in stock at MSRP. Eventually just built a RetroPie box :/

I'm assuming 6 months after launch they'd have a decent idea of what the demand is.

Agreed, I don't understand why the NES Classic Mini is still pretty much impossible to buy anywhere, and is 2.5-3x MSRP at third-party sellers on Amazon/Ebay. Surely by now Nintendo could've ramped production to match deman
