Yes, unit tests are the way to go. Lambda being a single function with a defined output makes this really simple. We have unit tests for sublibraries, but the "integration test"-level test are just calling the handler with the tes

Nvidia cut Hardware Unboxed off from review samples because they weren't happy with the editorial. Nvidia specifically said that "should your editorial direction change, we will reconsider..." It's not text, and it'

Google Finance actually used to have a pretty good API. My first iOS app was a client to that API, I was pretty bummed when they shut it down. I'm not surprised that it hardly gets updates though -- it was neglected back then as well.

I originally didn't like AWS's console because it wasn't "consistent", but when I opened up GCP's console the first time, I immediately preferred AWS. Fast and usable is better than inconsistent.

This is really good. I've been using pydicom ( https://github.com/pydicom/pydicom ) but it's always good to have variety in libraries and tools.

AZ is a well-known abbreviation in AWS. For all intents and purposes, it can mean a data center, but I've heard that AZs can span multiple physical data centers (which sort of makes sense -- there's a physical limit to how many se

What I find pretty funny is that "call-back when operator is ready to talk" systems are pretty simple to implement these days. I've done a few in Amazon Connect, and it took about 10 minutes to set it up and an hour or so to

I had the same thought. Makani had an interesting idea but the reliability wasn't there -- even if they had all of the problems worked out, the system having only one tether and such a fragile glider would have been inherently unreliab
