Blizzard used to be my favorite gaming company. I remember when I was much younger dreaming of being able to work there on World of Warcraft. I played a ridiculous amount of WoW/Warcraft 3/Starcraft as a kid, and more recently a d

As always, crazy interesting stuff coming out of OpenAI! This is the type of stuff that amazes me - I really wish I had more of an opportunity to play with AI/ML in my day to day work.

It seems absurd that they only need to allocate $31 million for "alternative payments" while the old CEO leaves with close to $20 million in bonuses [0], while the rest of the money in the settlement is basically reserved for them

Unfortunately it normally takes them >30 minutes to start reporting issues on their status page, so it's hard to know if it's just us or if it's widespread.

I'm also curious about this - I've not put much in place on AWS for SNS or SQS failover. I found the following Stack Overflow post [0] that has given me some ideas about how to make our services do a pseudo-failover for SQS [0]:

It seems related to Google DNS, as when I switched from that to the Cloudflare 1.1.1.1's all of these sites are available again!

by jpetrucc 8y ago
Sorry for assuming! My first thought was a CDN or caching layer, and Cloudflare is the first that comes to mind. I should've investigated a bit more

I saw your repo a few months ago when looking at implementing something similar! A lot of the things in the development notes seem to have been solved or improved recently. I do think that Jupyter notebooks are an amazing thing for CS Educa

I've been so excited for experimenting with EKS ever since the announcement but this offering looks very underwhelming. With kops [0] I can spin up a production cluster on AWS quickly and have just as much functionality (if not more co

Even if it took an ancient machine 10x longer than a 2012 MacBook air, that 61 milliseconds more is really not all that much time in the grand scheme of things. I'm sure the people using these machines that are "much older and muc

This compiler is what drives our platform's automated grading. We've decided to create a public API which extends some of its functionality to see what others might use it for.
