Could they calculate and show an estimate of the monthly charges based on current objects in the bucket before and after the change in storage class? OP may still have clicked through w/o heeding, but I can see that as a potential impr

You can write a list data structure with performant 'delete' properties if you're willing to maintain a sort or a hash table. There would be people here bitching about memory usage if the stdlib did that natively. Here's

This problem transcends documentation of any given language's standard library. list.delete(value) in any programming language is a degenerate without an ordering or hash built-in to the underlying data structure. If you ever need to d

Yep, it makes it easier to port the JRE to platforms like Windows that have an entirely different TZ system. Python, for example, has the same problem. Historically, Python took the stance of providing a "naive" datetime module th

Not sure if lower-level API of RQ supports this, but I tend to prefer message-oriented jobs that don't couple the web app to the task handler like the example. I don't want to import "count_words_at_url" just to make it

I don't think they're proposing this for anything other than a prototyping solution along the lines of this: http://xip.io/ There are cases where you simply want to use a name during development because it general

I'm not sure how you read from my comment that I'm saying 'this shit is impossible'. I'm simply saying in many organizations 'how fast the intern got it up and running' is not always a valid indicator of h

My comment isn't concerned with using 'personal' time for such endeavors. My concern is with the implicit conclusion that how fast you can get something up and running (a 'weekend' in this case) is an argument that

I'm not necessarily in the 'build one from scratch' camp either, I'm just pointing out that there's a trilemma in enterprise systems. How fast you're able to get something up and running is just one factor and

You're making a good underlying point but contriving way too many details in your argument for it to be taken seriously.

Let's not pretend that hosting an OSS chat server is a walk in the park for every enterprise just because you personally got one up and running in a weekend.

Hey you're still at an order of magnitude fewer layoffs than Sprint ION after they blew off a $2B loss in the early 00s. Maybe get your leadership to look at that case study.

There is no difference. I think people just get hung up on the word 'dimension' in the sense of degrees of freedom in a spatial state vector (to reuse your terms). Perhaps these are people who learned linear algebra only in the c

I'm sure there are valid reasons, but I also think there's a law that no matter how comprehensive your application protocol, it will eventually get turned into a transport for a higher-level (sometimes shoddier) application protoc

I'm sorry for the vitriol, but this is one of the most ignorant comments I've read on HN for a while. I read it three times and could only conclude your whole comment was just so you could spew the "couched in a faux construc

The tone of his comment seems to me he's just frustrated a community of programmers took the conversation down the path of debating the merits of recommendation systems rather than exploring the more general applicability of the algori

Maybe one should be able to put a subreddit in 'unmoderated' view and see what's getting moderated out so the community has a little more transparency. Yeah, you'll have to wade through some sewage, but at least you can

Think about the difference between a specialized AI that can beat a grandmaster at chess (using heuristics) versus a generalized AI that can learn how to play chess and then figure out how to beat a grandmaster on its own.

For specific beginner programs, GSLP and StrongLifts have always seemed like the two with the lowest barriers to entry of the ones I know about. I would add weighted chin-ups to any beginner routine that doesn't have them, because I pe

Lifting weights can help, but it can also cause more harm when your routine isn't properly balanced. Doing only bench press and military press lifts for upper body is going to be a chest/tricep push heavy routine. If you're n

Unlike many other fatal crashes, however, they presumably now have data from the corner case they can use to regression test every future release of the system.
