So Lambda & (L@Edge) is a general purpose computing system. They run a normal process in a programming language of your choice, then feed it event data, take the response out and continue the pipeline. They might keep the process runnin

It’s the annual conference, called reinvent.

Technically no, but the word has come to mean something different. Because even bare metal instances come under the same APIs, security, architecture and usage model as the other "real" VMs, the difference is very slim now. We can

Ah, thanks. That explains how you manage to have so many available. I like the progressive / adaptive mechanism as well, it keeps the challenge at the right level. Thanks for a great product. There were some issues (crashes) with the v

It absolutely re-kindled my interest in chess. I played as a child, but never took it seriously. Got a chess board for my 4-yo, but unfortunately she isn't a prodigy. Who'd have thought. Still has fun arranging the pieces and make

I’ve heard AWS follows a you build it, you run it policy, so that seems unlikely. Just seems prudent to not mess with OS settings in a hurry.

About three discussions on the front page right now are about Apple controlling the Mac platform, but this is one of the upsides. Companies that use only Macs with gatekeeper on have automatic protection against a whole class of cyber secur

I know a book was brought to print that didn’t have the glyph, but I can’t bring it to the front of my mind. Would concur strongly with this. I try to do this by cutting down laptop utilisation. Play with kid or watch TV in the place of non

That’s what I was considering for a pro version. Would you pay something like $10 a year for that?

One of me pandemic projects was to take the books on Standardebooks.org, parse the ePub and write transformations into HTML with indexing. Was trying to build a platform for me to write tech books on, but I wound up just enjoying getting in

Yeah, that’s partly true. Applications that allocate 1000GB will need to get what they ask for. No getting around bad applications. The benefits are more in terms of lower level systems communicating by sharing memory instead of sharing mem

Going by the engineering explanations in the announcement video. See the segments shot in the “lab” set. They’re actually pretty proud of this and are explaining the optimisations quite candidly.
613.
by sudhirj 6y ago
That’s how I understand it, yes. I’m not into hardware either, going by engineering side of the event. In the announcement, there some parts shot at the lab/studio, where the engineers explain the chip. Ignore the marketing people with

by sudhirj 6y ago
All else being equal, yes, but the memory is faster, closer to the chip, has less wiring to go through, and because of vertical integration they can pass by reference instead of copying values internally on the hardware. The last one is big

One, this is repeating the iPhone vs Android comparisons. iPhones with 4GB RAM feel faster and get more work done than Androids running Qualcomm ARM with double that amount of RAM. The faster IO becomes the cheaper paging becomes, and macO

by sudhirj 6y ago
Chalking it down to ARM doesn’t cut it... other companies make ARM chips too, including Qualcomm. Most Android phones run ARM, and given they outnumber iPhones heavily you’d expect massive improvements. But this is better than putting Qualc

Yeah, that's really everything with all caps EVERYTHING, isn't it? From the beginning to the end of the universe, it would all happen in an instant.

I’d assume that the developed countries take the vaccines that require super refrigeration and give the low-drama vaccines to the developing countries, but that’s just me being naively optimistic.

But the entire point of relativity is that there’s no such thing as a joint “present moment” between more than observer. The only meaningful construct is your own present moment, about which information radiates outward at the maximum speed

Didn’t see if this was mentioned in the article, but it was interesting to find out somewhere that for a photon time doesn’t pass even as it travels across the universe. Basically the time component is 0 so the space speed is 100%. That’s w

Is this actually a problem? By the time the person travelling in the car and the stationary person synchronise their information enough to communicate won’t their frames of reference also sync up? Like if I’m moving and I see something befo

Does all the vaccine manufacturing happen in the same fabs / factories? Moderna says they can make a billion does by next year, Pfizer says the same, so does that mean we have 2 billion doses available? Or do they share factories and w

The general advice is not DIY everything by using the stdlib, it's to use packages that conform to the stdlib interface, because doing so gives you infinite composability. All of the concerns that have been pointed out have good, testi

Might not be. The Nordic states seem rich enough already. Norway, for example, has a fund that makes all its citizens millionaires, so you do get richer if you join them. Can’t speak for Finland, but because it’s a welfare state you are goi

Optimisation is a necessary process, and is amoral. It has no right or wrong by itself. If I make good cupcakes and you help me get my order page in front of people near me who want my cupcakes, you’ve done the world some good. If you do un

Flutter is purely a UI toolkit. It takes a rectangle from the OS and draws everything inside, like a game would. It just happens to copy Android/Material design and iOS design. The point is to to provide a reactive UI system. Focus is

Since no one else seems to be doing so, I’ll do devil’s advocate: this is a really good idea. The last thing I want with an expensive phone is to give it in for repair and find it’s been stripped for parts and replaced with low quality knoc

If you're communicating between two systems, gRPC has a few benefits: * keeps a socket open between them (HTTP/2) and puts all your method calls on that connection. So you don't have to set up connections on each call or hand

@orbuch can we get an API to set the percentage for each purchase programmatically? or at least vary it by country? I’d like to increase prices and the percentage for customers from countries who don’t do a good job handing climate change.

The point is that public justifications are more important than actual motivations. Actual motivations can be enslaving other beings, ruling / mining an extra planet or just wanting to watch the universe burn. Motivations are already p
