Forgetting to shut down an instance in the cloud is the least worrying problem. In AWS, everything has a price. And some things don’t have a price until they’re the only thing left(ie. Elastic IPs that only charge once they are not assigned

This is a very odd comparison. You’re comparing a past workflow for one service against an existing workflow for an entirely separate service, but only speculating on whether it is actually less. It’s currently 6 taps to cancel a single sub

Python is typically taught in 101 classes because it enforces some good practices, is fairly quick to pick up, and if you have a math/finance background, can more easily lead to some quick and fun projects that can be bootstrapped in a

I had a similar issue when moving our stack to ECS Fargate. logs wouldn’t tell us anything other than ‘application was terminated’ within seconds of it booting. The most helpful thing was looking at the reason given for the container shutti

Years ago when Airbnb was picking up steam and I was in college I got a gig building a tool to automate cross-referencing Airbnb listings with housing records so the city could request the optional tourism tax. What we found surprised all o

Not OP, but it’s not uncommon for ‘Affordable Housing’ opportunities in NYC to get over 50,000 applicants for, many times, just 100 units in a building in a matter of days.

Somehow the NYTimes managed to make a negative article about the dangers of cyclists, while the only deaths and injuries they managed to conjure up in the entire story are from a truck failing to yield and running over a family.

It’s understandable that you wouldn’t see people wear masks on campus prior to COVID. Mainly because mask wearing outdoors was previously a rare event for any reason in the USA prior to COVID, so you’d stick out as making a statement if you

I wear KN95 masks, but I’m not breaking down the level of particulate matter that gets filtered for science. I’m saying I don’t get asthma attacks or sprayed by debris when I keep pace in traffic with a mask on.

It’s interesting that the OP didn’t also consider that people wear masks on bikes to block out truck and car fumes and other particles that tend to fly in your face. I rarely wear a helmet when biking, but there’s a noticeable benefit when

This will suck primarily for cyclists and motorcyclists approaching intersections. Most of the time they won’t be directly behind a vehicle and will instead be off to the left or right and may only see a single side before overtaking a driv

It helps to start slow with standing desks. Having a desk you can switch between sitting and standing will allow you to work your way up to standing longer over time. It also helps to have the right shoes and a soft mat to help absorb some

You can ‘Stop’ a DB and ‘Terminate’ a DB through the UI. If you have deletion protection turned on, you can only stop the DB until it’s turned off, which can also be done through the UI. You most likely stopped the DB, but the problem there
