   This looks very cool, but the 5 minute build time limit (an inherent limitation of the Lambda service) makes this less than ideal for a build system. The author does address this by recommending that you use Docker containers on ECS as an

   What? Android lets websites vibrate your phone and launch the Play store without permission? That's insane. This is one of the reasons I will never have an android phone.

   Daniel Tiger's neighborhood is also a great show that takes a lot of the music and lessons from Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, but is an updated and animated version of it. I've always been very impressed with the music and tal

   A car traveling 60mph is traveling 88 feet per second - double this because the truck is likely traveling the opposite direction at the same speed. Average human reaction time in best case scenarios is ~215ms (see http://www.hum

   It's completely crazy that their first approach is to tax tech companies. In other modern cities, you're allowed to build higher than 3 story buildings.

   Great article, and good introduction to IOpipe. I think ultimately it will be nice to be able to run all of these FaaS (function as a service) platforms on Docker, to avoid cloud lock-in. I just can't imagine the industry supporting

   Thanks, but my guess is that it's actually a bonded 2x 10Gbps link, which would also give you 20gbps, and cost a lot less per port.

    It's a single point of failure that's highly available across multiple availability zones. I'm not sure I would even call it a single point of failure when it's running in multiple datacenters. If you need geo-redundan

    Oversimplified - it's also a multi-threaded driver with multiple queues. This should hopefully allow you to fully saturate the 20gbps available to you.

    Does anyone know what type of hardware they are using to accomplish this? Is it just your standard Intel X520/540 10GbE adapter, or is there some secret hardware they have access to? FWIW, saturating line rate 10GbE has been problemat

    I agree about the brain drain if brexit continues, but would there seriously be a brain drain if brexit is halted? I'm fairly certain the UK would be better off if most of the leave voters left the UK completely. The demographics seem

    This is a well reported story. Federal law only requires towns to provide a basic education to K-12 students. Anything beyond that like police, fire, and ambulance service, is not mandatory. If you choose to live in such a place, be prepa

    It's a good question, but many of these rural southern towns are very poor, and governed by conservative ideologues that have privatized all non-mandatory services. These towns are required by federal law to provide school service to c

    If you buy Spot instances you can get them for ~85% discount off normal pricing. Your spot instances can be pre-empted, of course, but for password cracking this shouldn't really matter much.
