That is the point. It is a terrible idea to provide full administrative privileges to something you are testing. I.e, it does not need to remove EC2 instances so it is a bad idea granting it against you AWS account. If the tutorial provides

Why so many of this frameworks insist in using an account with administrator privileges? From the docs: "search for a Policy named 'AdministratorAccess', click next and confirm". It would be much more convenient to reque

We're here also maintaining some big platforms using Adobe Flash. Even I mostly agree on the need to reduce unnecessary Flash usage on the public web, there are some features Flash provides that can not still be replaced by HTML5, lik

In fact, there are very few subjects where reality is a matter of fact and there is an absolute truth. Even knowing this specific case is very clear to all of us, cherry picking which side is true and which one is false on ideological matte

This is an awful result, but it raises a difficult question: should the SERP be moderated or they should be fully automatic and allow this kind of results to be in the top of the result pages? Because a human moderated results could be even

Really nice, indeed. Very useful too the hints on each metric. I've not read docs in depth but I'd like to see also a compacted dashboard to avoid scroll for the latest ones. Congrats :)

Can you point to any 10g switch on that price range? Last time I searched for there all were over $700 - $1000 USD. Alternative was to use a 4 ports NIC with bonding but 10Gb will be far more easy and stable.

LTSP 4 uses XDMCP as Login manager and GUI export. LTSP Clients boot with PXE and get the root filesystem via NFS, then it uses XDMCP login screen. AFAIK, LTSP 5 uses LDM instead of XDCMP.

Our company has been running LSTP on commodity hardware since 2013 for a development team, and I am truly happy with the result. For a long time, a 2013 i7 CPU with 32 GiB RAM running LTSP over ESXi was more than enough for intensive use of

Hey, thank you for the link to you article. I've read it throughly and I cannot agree more. And that was written two years and a half ago, before the AI "explosion" that we saw later. Actually, checking against confidence is

For intensive use I'd recommend against use of headsets. We've found the Jabra Speak 410 (USB) and Jabra 510 (Bluetooth) speakerphones to be much more comfortable and microphone and noise cancelling are excellent. IMO speakerphone

Unless you have good funding or a customer with a pre-sales signed contract, I myself would be very reluctant to even think about it. If your idea is so good to worth it, just hire it. Sorry but I've received too many promising proposa

We've worked in the past with CMU Sphinx too, and it is absolutely amazing the advances in this area in the last months. A little bit off-topic, but do you know any recent work or paper for speech recognition in language teaching area
