The cost to execute a 250ms Lambda on the most expensive tier 1M times is about $7.70. If your data is in S3 the cost of 1M GETs at the most expensive is $0.40. You don't pay for transfer between S3 and Lambda.

I just restructured a job to be parallel and run on Lambda and I couldn't be happier. Glad to see this idea is gaining mindshare. I found that it was easy to test, easy to debug, easy to maintain, not very expensive, and just kinda wor

This is very close to the style we use. The only big difference is that we opt for CTEs over subqueries whenever possible.

I think this is great, but point #4 is way off the mark. It's pretentious and it's gatekeeping. It's not true that a strong analytics leader as you've described is incapable of understanding selection bias, measurement b

If you're at the point where you have the need and the budget for a business intelligence tool, Looker is fantastic. Anyone who can pivot in Excel will pick up Looker quickly and be able to get actionable insights.

You don't live in the social/cultural circles where Vine is important and compelling and novel. You are also completely discounting shortform video. The format hasn't really existed before in this way and there's an expl

After years of being increasingly hostile to 3rd party developers, Twitter finally decided that you needed their permission to have more than 100k users of your twitter client. That announcement was bundled with tightened rate limiting and

I don't doubt that they're clueful. That's why I'm confident that they hired an excellent incident response team and wisely chose to have them review and edit any external communication. Anything less would be irresponsi

Unfortunately I don't think the Netflix ruling is going to apply here because Netflix doesn't take federal money to operate.

They are faster but only if you aren't waiting on them to set someone else. Also due to the nature of duckpin, strikes and spares are harder to get so they typically aren't setting every pin.

Near me there's a old duckpin bowling alley that's been refurbished to include a bar. They definitely employ pinsetters! It's such an interesting experience to have a human set pins just for you to knock them down. Modern pin

This wasn't a technical interview. This was a phone screen. As dumb as it is, having non-technical recruiters do a "technical" phone screen like this is increasingly common. I don't think this practice is completely just

Acura wants me to spend something like $179 to update the maps for my in-car navigation system. For that money I can buy a windshield phone mount and a nice cable with cash leftover to take the wife out to dinner.

I'm in the same boat. I have 4 microscervices set up with API Gateway + Lambda and now actively guide people away from API Gateway.

For it to be a valid point, it has to be a sensible strategy or position for Google to take. Do you actually think that under the list of goals and objectives for this project there was a bullet point that was like "* Better user track
