Twitch rans on a separate network. Bulk traffic is not on AWS.

As I saw it, still think this is in reverse. Twitch as an org was running at a loss and had some tech and network that could be packed up and sold to enterprises. AWS, which is the B2B side of the house, resells this as IVS, take some % to

IIRC, this was not how IVS and Twitch worked at least a couple years ago. This was in reverse, AWS was selling Twitch as a product. Twitch is on Amazon's side of the company, not on AWS.

IVS doesn’t (or at least when I worked there, didn’t) use AWS network. Streaming traffic goes (or went) through Twitch’s network - it’s cheaper traffic compared to CloudFront’s.

Infinite scrolling was also present in desktop. I blame the pivot from the chronological feeds to algorithmically generated feeds based on engagement (or whatever other metric).

It's not an article, but I found The Scientist and Engineer's Guide to Digital Signal Processing book to be very comprehensive. There are a couple of chapters on applications, but not much code. http://www.dspguide.com&

They should spin-off the whole of AWS, not specifically the chip group.

You have a similar experience like you described above with those USB video adapters that don’t run DisplayPort. They use lossy compression and - as a byproduct - have increased latency compared to a DP/HDMI output. Displays aren’t spe

As a foreigner, I just multiply everything by 1.1, so I know the average upper limit on what I’m buying. If the sales tax rate ends being less than 10%, it’s money saved. If it ends up being more than 10%, that would be my new multiplier th

Until the recent explosion on direct online shopping from China, you, the importer, were responsible for collecting import duties/VAT. To avoid tax evasion the customs authorities started requiring import duties to be paid in advance.

A large part of what you see on shelves are not the retailer's, but are on consignment from the manufacturer. The manufacturer also pays for the product to be displayed, with different rates for different positioning. The limit is phys

I really like SSM, and for specifically for Windows RDP, the port forwarding feature. When combined with SSO, proper policies and tagging, you can do away with SSH keys, bastion hosts and VPNs.

Once you add up the real world factor of half-assed implementations and bad business/tech decisions, you end up with DHCP and NAT (or its IPv6 cousin, NPT) to solve issues.

When I went to other sites I just had to file a ticket and that was it. If something were to be approved, it was automatic, unless it was a restricted office/building. Maybe it depends on the job role. Not too unusual, other companies
