GrubHub/Seamless also does this. Additionally they DO charge a commission for phone orders via a system that charges restaurants on a per-call basis. You see it frequently in tiny Manhattan restaurants where the website the owner set u

You cannot replace DynamoDB with S3. S3 can not perform atomic and strongly consistent operations. Edit: as other commenters have noted, you can perform a read after write on a new key.

You can request that limit be increased through the limit increase form. Also, if you need to scan a ton of items to assemble your desired result, you should re-think using DynamoDB as a whole.

I don't know if a union would help you specifically because I don't know who you are or who you work for. But in general, a union could negotiate the development practices you and your co-workers want. As an example, if you and yo

A union is whatever the members want it to be. Just because traditional unions operate a certain way does not mean a union for tech workers has to operate the same way.

It isn't that bots can't do it, it is that they must waste significantly more resources than they would otherwise.

You don't pay per node. In fact, the concept of a node is not exposed at all. Each shard is technically on three nodes for high availability. You pay for provisioned capacity and data storage per GB.

by ryanworl 9y ago
Each shard is 10GB. The unit of scale is a shard. You can have as many shards as you want.

I can certainly imagine a world in which you, having just purchased a vacuum, are more likely to purchase a different vacuum than any random person they just chose to show that recommendation to. For example, you might return your first one

Yes, but you have to set them up upfront and there is no API to split and merge partitions. If you add more partitions, it doesn't automatically re-shard for you either. I don't think it should automatically re-shard as it would c

I'm not the OP, but changing the number of Kafka partitions isn't a super graceful operation. You would be wise to add as many as you could reasonably need assuming one consumer thread per partition. But not too many because each

Yes, and fine dining is typically worse in every metric imaginable. That's why there is no McDonald's of fine dining. Besides being an oxymoron, the business model is terrible. You turn over fewer tables with more expensive food,

The most profitable restaurants are typically the ones with cheap food. It is counterintuitive, but true.

It still requires regular requests to S3, so large objects would see the most savings.

In theory not impossible to serve a request with this, but the performance would be poor in terms of TTFB. More likely useful in bulk transfers.

No, this isn't related to Lightsail. It may be worth investigating though! I haven't looked at all their bandwidth pricing rules. EDIT: It looks like there is a hard limit of 20 Lightsail instances per account which would provide

Many states have very loose control over their voter database. The control is mostly exerted through the force of the law prohibiting certain uses of the data. For example, I can order the voter database for the state of New York and receiv

I sometimes drink the regular version of this. It is extremely concentrated to the point of being basically undrinkable without dilution. You could mix the decaf version into the regular version and add the same amount of water for a strong

Ship a file with your app bundle (could be JSON, whatever you want) with all of the strings you'd want to be dynamic. Then on each app launch, check if it exists in the Documents directory, and if not, copy it to the Documents director

The per-message cost of AWS Kinesis is extremely tiny. If your company's recent article, Scaling NSQ to 750 Billion Messages, is an accurate count of messages you'd put through Kinesis, that would cost around $11,000 over the enti

Drivers are charged a percentage-fee for Uber's share of the ride in UberX. In Uber Pool, the driver is paid by Uber (as opposed to just through Uber) a variable amount that is not as easy for us on the outside to calculate as the pe

Yes, and they would take a corresponding gross margin hit as the driver's payment comes from revenue rather than being accounted for before it. I do not think this a shell game to make the revenue number larger. The way drivers are pai

Ads following you around (retargeting) can sometimes be creepy, but no one had to buy and sell your browsing history to get there. It is entirely a by-product of the fact that ad slots are auctioned off while a page loads, and when someone

To explain the typical workflow here, the restaurant receives a fax from the marketplace with a phone number to call to acknowledge the delivery. There is a short numeric code on the fax print out that the restaurant types into the IVR syst
