It’s not that the DB servers can’t handle it, it’s that establishing a connection is slower than re-using an existing one. You also forgo certain optimizations within the DB designed to make fetching things for the given connection/sco

Thanks, but I think this is very different from connection pooling on a DB, say pdbouncer. Doing some searching, I did find this that seems much closer: http://blog.rowanudell.com/database-connections-in-lambda/ TLDR;

Haven't heard of this approach yet. Do you have a write up I could reference to try it out?

I don't think it is, just wishing it was.

Really wish "serverless" also meant that it can work with AWS Lambda efficiently. As is, each function would try to open a connection, making the overall overhead extremely high and stressing DBs.

It’s absolutely not fine if your customers are already paying you specifically to connect to Netflix, which is an extremely common use and why we have the bottleneck in the first place. The imbalance of the traffic has little to do with wha

Chassis are definitely similar, but specs do not line up at all. Screen is full HD for these versus 3200x1800 for System76 for example. System76 seems to be cheaper too.

That's not where I was going with this and I'll respectfully disagree with your statement because in a society, there has to be a balance between conflicting interests. If what is good for me will cause harm to you, societies gene

That's the point I was trying to make - it doesn't exist and laws at best convey the ethic that the majority does not care to oppose at the time of enactment.

Can any attorney with knowledge of fair housing weigh in on this? Law quotes states that the ad cannot say these things, but the publishing of an ad in a medium targeted based on these seems like a relatively new ground, since the ad itself

Sure there is. It all depends on what we, as society, value. So long as the market exists and is supported by enough people it continues. If society decides it no longer collectively finds a given market acceptable (not in the legal sense n

That seems completely different type of work. There are still artists today that paint mural and commissioned art, but that work is usually more or less unique and is not cheap. It also includes artistic expression. Not so sure there is roo

At the low end of the spectrum, thanks to this mass produced "art", it's almost impossible to find anything painted by local artists in places like Paris, unless you go for the galleries, and even though I'm not sure it&

Some really great points here, so won't rehash those. Some additional things to consider: - Request size limitations (implicit and explicit, such as only allowing GET and being limited by what can be URL encoded) - Response size limits

Since you have to balance asset/liability entries, if you try to model out the cost of termination (which can include TI allowance refunds, commissions, fees and other not so straightforward cals), you might end up with an unrealistic

Couldn't find much on salaries for 1970s, but here's a resolution to hire a junior programmer for ~$10.6k/year in 1979. Seems like the $13k referenced was not a huge amount, but about an annual salary for a single dev. http:

I’m guessing they are trying to get more drivers on the road during Halloween and by giving them this promotion they essentially lock people in to drive during that time to make up the earnings they prepaid, and potentially make a bonus.
