Why is anyone being bothered with their personal degree of ambitiousness? Is it really a bad thing that you don't really desire to be rich or powerful? Is it bad if people are already happy with what they have?

Taking a node down does not mean outage at all. Service uptime also reads like a non-sequitur given the comment on the JDK11 crashes sounded like OP was doing something weird with the new JDKs, not with the old prod system running JDK8. JDK

I'd say the Oklahoma City bombing had a far greater impact in civil engineering and architecture than 9/11. The Oklahoma City bombing jump-started an awful lot of research into new topics such as progressive collapse, quantificati

I disagree. This should be news because it's as close as an official declaration that Intel acknowledges it's time as the world's leading chip manufacturer is over, and that the crown is nowadays firmly on AMD's head. Al

Also, right now it's current stock price (148.97) is still higher than it was two weeks ago (148.64) before it surged, and the truth of the matter is that today's price is still 15% up from where it was 6 months ago (121.03).

There really aren't a myriad of similar efforts. Eigen is pretty much the only C++ linear algebra library. BLAS is a C library which is the de facto standard, and ATLAS is an alternative implementation of the BLAS API. Other than this,

> Those 60k free emails only apply when SES is invoked from an EC2 instance or Elastic Beanstalk What stops you from putting a service running on a free tier EC2 instance to listen to requests to call SES?
