The last time I used SQS it was kinda expensive because I had to poll every minute or so it ate up the free tier. If I wanted to poll faster (like every 5 seconds) it was even more expensive. Maybe not the best use for my use case.

It's only after the rescue that they can give retrospectives on exactly how difficult things were at the time. My utmost respect goes out to each of these heroes for doing what needed to be done even at the possible cost of their own l

Anyone who plays an instrument knows the value of drilling. Yes it can be boring. But it is needed to get better. You really need to get down to each note and make it perfect before you can play the measure or piece.

I had a whole semester worth of Squeak at Georgia Tech. Can't really remember much at this point except that everything was an object and the environment we worked in was super slow.

This entire article is a straw man. "It’s trendy to argue that hard work doesn’t pay off." I think what we should be looking at is the amount of luck required to succeed. And that is most definitely increasing. However it isn&#x27

I buy servers. AMD based ones aren't available. That's it. I am waiting for them to be readily available and at a reasonable price point.

Why does it need to relaunch? You now have a forward operating base that can secure the rocket. You can break the rocket apart and truck it back. Or put it on a ship. Lots of options here. The important part is probably getting there in 1 h

Seeing humanity achieve net fusion in my lifetime would be a total game changer and repoint a good chunk of our future. Things like this make me think we are closer than most people imagine if only because climate change is pushing is hard

Exactly. Also not sure why everyone says Bitcoin is anonymous. It's as anonymous as how deep someone is willing to spend to uncover your address. If we are talking multiple nation states who are interested in tracking you down you are

Just like the mob there are some targets that just aren't worth it because they bring too much heat. They are learning this is bad for business all around so they are stepping back and encouraging others to do the same.

In a twisted sort of way I am happy to see these types of ransomware attacks making headlines. Before it was much harder to quantify how much a breach might cost but with ransomeware you get a fuzzy lower bound. Also the prevalence of these

> Squash merge has the major disadvantage of getting rid of valuable meaningful git history. There are reasons against it but the real world is messy. Developers tend to commit things, recommit, undo, redo, move things around. Is this va

I would host in a datacenter of your choice and do a cross connect into AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/directconnect/pricing/ This allows you to read the data into AWS instances at no cost and process it as needed si

It's not just the linux kernel. You can imagine this having some fallout to other open source projects where they all come out and say they won't accept contributions from the university. Huge PR nightmare.

I've been toying around with the idea of building a small device or widget to display things like this. There is hardware like this for temperature and humidity and such but nothing for internet health. If anyone is interested feel fre

Just thinking about the number of edge cases if this happened today gives me palpitations. And I thought this whole daylight saving time thing is ridiculous. Hold my beer, along comes the Church of England.

This actually makes me like blockchain technologies more. Finance has always been a game. A game in which the price of entry can be prohibitively high to a lot of people. Blockchain really levels the playing field. People are free to play t
