It kind of looks like there is a Velodyne LIDAR on the roof. The "Even in Rough Waters" claim seems exaggerated.

Sounds cool an all, but mesh networks are slow and very insecure, the blockchain doesn't scale and thus cannot remain fully decentralized, and there's no practical way to run a trusted autonomous agent in an untrusted environment.

It's silly, the Randstad region is one of the largest and densely populated metropolitan areas in Europe.

Then don't use getters and setters... A lot of complaints people have about Java seem to be about the way in which they choose to write Java. My somewhat unorthodox rules for writing Java: 1. Don't use private. No reason to restri

You could create an Amazon CloudFront distribution with your github domain as the origin and use Route 53 to set up a root domain without CNAME tricks.

The way IAM roles work is terrifyingly simple. IAM generates temporary access key identifier and secret access key with the configured permissions and EC2 makes them available to your instance via the instance metadata as JSON at http:&#x2

Be very careful with assigning IAM roles to EC2 instances. Many web applications have some kind of implicit proxying, e.g. a function to download an image from a user-defined URL. You might have remembered to block 127.0.0.*, but did you re

In general, implementing ALIAS records through recursive resolution is a bad idea. Geo routing and other resolver IP-based policies will probably break, since the authoritative name server has no way of knowing the resolver IP. Edns-client-

CF can keep connections to the origin open, which saves several long round-trip times in TCP/SSL handshakes. Conceivably, the CF-to-S3 network might also be better than the you-to-S3 network.

Not familiar with OPML editor, but it looks like a way of activating features that are only available on the author's own computer (e.g., editing comments) that is useless to everyone else. Seems like a bad way of doing that though.

I'm not aware of any invalid status codes, the main issue is that vanilla S3 does not support index or error pages. Instead, it either returns Access Denied or a list of all objects when making a "GET /" request. However, S3 has a website f

No, the health check system does not have a dependency on EBS. More importantly, the health checkers are highly redundant and will continue to function even in case of multiple AZ, region, service, or Internet outages.

I guess I've been in your situation as a CS student. I dreaded the thought of working for one of the big Dutch IT companies or consulting firms and their string of boring and/or failing projects. None of the Dutch start-ups appealed to me,

Not sure what was doing, but it was kind of fun. What I'm really hoping for now is multi-player pong (with up to 32 rotating pong bats).

Seems this is the right formula for estimating monthly cost: 0.01S+1.80R.max(0, 1-0.0017S/D) S is number of GB stored. R is the biggest retrieval of the month. Parallel retrievals are summed, even if overlap is only partial. D is the amou

I think this is more or less the formula for calculating monthly costs (corrections welcome): 0.01S+max(0,7.20*(R-0.0017S)/4) S is number of GB stored R is biggest retrieval in the month 4 is the average number of hours a retrieval For an e

When using a custom origin (non-S3), your web server is generally capable of gzip compression. CloudFront will separately request and cache the content in compressed and uncompressed form as needed. http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/Amazon

Not necessarily. The networks used by CloudFront may outperform direct paths. More importantly, CloudFront edge locations try to maintain a persistent connection to the origin and use a large initial TCP congestion window. This saves you f
