Anyone using Lambda should _absolutely_ do load testing with different memory configurations. You will get different results, and should analyze what is best for your application. When calculating the overall cost of managing your own insta

Agreed. "Micro" is a terribly defined term, and it sounds like this team went absolutely nuts in one direction. (And then in response to their problems, went as far back as possible to a single monolith.) This suggests a bit of a

There’s a healthy debate to be had about the risks of facial recognition, but I don’t think that it gets inherently worse when a company like Amazon streamlines the process. This particular technology is out of the bag.

I think you might be overestimating the consistency and reliability of how hiring is done. (For reference, I've worked as a hiring manager of software engineers for a few years.) I've seen departments just use the same description

Are you disagreeing with my use of the word "most" here? If so, do you happen to know what percentage of families own 51% of the wealth? Or if it's the word "small," can we agree that 5% (or whatever it is) is still

I see that you were trying to discuss what conservatives found upsetting about the "rich are too rich" narrative, and that you think my response was off-topic. I do (of course) disagree with your numerous assumptions about the coh

I'd suggest that asking for a citation is more relevant when the position is hard to source, but sure: https://www.forbes.com/sites/noahkirsch/2017/11/09/the-3-ric...

Did you really make an account just for this comment? I'm... kind of flattered. How odd.

I'd characterize my response as "mildly sarcastic" rather than "attack mode." Other than the tone of the first three words, my reply was in response to the idea, and not you as the poster. edit: I'd also like t

You'd also identify companies who are growing their teams slowly and adding more of the same role every N months.

The assertion ("most wealth comes from hard work and sacrifice") is both humorous and provably incorrect. I stand by my reply. (Edited: I didn't realize this wasn't the original poster I replied to.)

> most wealth in America is earned through hard work and sacrifice Ha. Citation needed. Most wealth in America is concentrated in the hands of a small number of incredibly wealthy families. It is plainly ridiculous to suggest that someon

Even hit on what we could now call “smart home” devices. He managed to come up with a lot of examples to try to illustrate to the host what computers would be used for!

edit: Whoops. My recollection of the article was quite wrong! ---- No, the article states that the average wealth of the 9.9% is 1.2m. This is of course heavily influenced by people at in the top 1%; people in the 10th percentile are not al

I believe he’s talking about EPROM: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPROM (I’m a software guy though, so this is all outside my area.)

You should really make that clear on the site. It sorta comes off like you just sampled the flags or something, and what you actually did is WAY cooler.

I'm really enjoying his ML class on Coursera. Considering taking the deep learning series next. (And I work more than full time at a tech giant. It's working into my schedule okay so far.)

Wait, this is wildly off topic, but can we talk about the snow woman in the sixth picture? What is happening there? Is that a person covered in snow? A really shockingly well crafted sculpture done by two women with shovels? I am so baffled

Woah, no shit?? (One google later...) Daaaaaamn. Makes sense, but seeing it called out is very striking.

Well... a Seattle city newspaper wrote an article about the city of Seattle. It's a valid lens to examine Amazon's impact to Seattle. Your insistence on being included in a conversation about a city you don't live in is kinda

I think the place we're missing each other here is that people who literally live in Seattle care about Seattle as a separate entity from the metropolitan area.

> Me, I'm content with a certain sense of smugness about living in Redmond and not Seattle. :-) See this is the great part about our little rivalry! Everyone gets to feel smug. :) (No sarcasm, I really think it's a pro.)

Sure, and that makes total sense when you're talking to someone who doesn't know the area. But disagreeing with me when I say that Bellevue isn't part of the City of Seattle is just weird.

Of course it's true. The city of Seattle is a thing, and it doesn't include the eastside. And sure, they're part of the metro area, but so is Tacoma. Eastsiders are always trying to pretend they live in Seattle.

I agree. But they're not at all part of the city.

Fascinating. That is NOT my experience. I hear people complain about Amazon and Amazon employees all the time.
