Key word being "most". I attended a state funded grammar school in the 2000s. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_grammar_schools_in_Eng...

I think the problem here is that they submitted a fabrication. If someone is prepared to do that, I don't think how they drafted the document is really the issue.

I certainly don't adore him, but would probably read a good biography about him _because_ he is such a controversial figure.

Provisioned concurreny does decrease cold starts. Reserved concurrency both guarantees a portion of your concurrency limit be allocated to a lambda as well as capping concurrency of that lambda to that portion. Reserved concurrency has no c

Yup. In the UK the benefits of owning are clear, but the entrance requirements can be very high.

> When you run Terraform against AWS on the subnets part, it will create (anytime you deploy) the missing subnets That is one of the core features of Terraform? Detecting and fixing drift is useful.

Hi, thanks for replying. I'll send you a message on Monday when I get back to work to recreate it.

I'd agree with them that the portal is terrible. Multiple times a day I get blank page errors, where the page is completely blank except for a single non-sensical error message in black text. However their actual services are also pret

OK but how does Terraform know you are renaming a resource? It is not a daemon always running and watching everything you type. It only gets a snapshot of your code to work from when you run it, it doesn't know what your code was befor

terraform state mv [old name] [new name] I'd much rather explicitly state when real resources are renamed than have terraform diffing my code and guessing whether I wanted to rename it or I am actually trying to recreate somet

Here in the UK lots of people have garages but I'd actually guess its more common to use them for storage than to keep a car in. Everyone I know who has an electric car keeps it on the drive with an outside charging point.

But that wouldn't have helped here. No companies wanted to lay down cable even when they would then get a monopoly on the customers in the town.

I am not a Heroku user so cannot assess how this compares to their offering but as someone who spends ~4 hours a day looking at Terraform and the AWS console this does not look "production" quality at all. * The web app is deploye

At a guess they are probably saying that a human when looking at a picture of a palm would not be able to tell you who it is, unlike a picture of someone that includes their face or body. Seems a bit of a pointless distinction as the Amazon

You can also shift right click the background of an explorer window to open a terminal session (powershell or cmd depending on the release I think). If you need a administrator prompt you can do that from explorer's file menu in Window

A combination of sign 3, 8 and 12 can be awful. The features that are shipped are half-baked, teams always say that they will come back and refactor it but of course never do. Developers start to care less and less about quality because tha

The battery performance of old Spartan edge was amazing, great for laptops/tablets. Have they managed to keep that kind of performance with their new chromium version? (I haven't updated yet)

I know nothing about forest fires or the Yukon but could that just be that other fires aren't noticed because they aren't near population centers?

Why not? It is pretty simple and very fun! My first project in golang was a program that polled for the machine's IP address and updated a AWS Route53 record.

Very cool! It would be nice to be able to group multiple cities in one map. Greater London and the City of London are listed separately so Greater London has a big hole in the middle.

On many Android keyboards you can hold and drag on the space bar to do the same. You can also drag back on backspace to delete whole words/sentences. Similarly unintuitive though, I only know about it because I saw someone else mention

Seems a bit extreme, just make a conscious effort to not use your phone as much. That way you can still use your phone to deal with the myriad potential issues that can come up when travelling e.g. issues with your bank, stranded in the cou

I just noticed the author used Romeo and Juliet in the screenshot and was curious how far through the play the truncation happens. It can be useful for some to put sizes like this into another more familiar form, for example the famous Bill

Just to put that in perspective the snippet of Romeo and Juliet where it truncates is a bit over halfway through the play.
