Yeah that was really high level overview of very specific things. I'm not sure if people without any prior knowledge of aws are getting anything out of it. For those who aren't familiar with aws i would recommend using most of the

If you're like me who prefers having million tabs open you'll find vscode to be much easier on memory usage with multiple project windows open. Also the extensions are nice although i do not know how good they are versus intellij.

This is very fascinating, great job! One thing I was wondering how did you manage to build it? There's a lot of code there and I was wondering if I could make my own version for a different programming language.

I do have mild red-green color blindness although I'm not completely sure how the game is even supposed to work. So once you get a word wrong it shows new words that are still connected to the one you're trying to eliminate? But y

Interesting indeed. The arcade game of semantris was really annoying because as soon as you got a word wrong the new words started to pile up making finding the original keywords difficult. The tetris game was more pleasing and a funny thin

Interesting. I just happened to think of a new side-project for myself using RSS and Scrapy of which I'm familiar with Scrapy. Cool if you can parse RSS-feeds so easily with feedparser-library. Makes it probably quite easy compared to

It is but memorizing facts by rote is still some work, right? When you get deep down to it many exams are just that - regurgitaging a set of facts and nothing else. The practical side is often omitted and the level of your understanding nev

They are not setting a very good precedent with this that's for sure. Not everyone will be as white hat as this guy and opt for a little more value. Would this have been even an illegal thing to do per se? Could companies have sued him

Now that is just being prejudiced. It's not EU's agenda to try and bring down American tech companies for the sake of malice (or protectionism). You do not think they have not been at some fault? Or that there is something good ab

The self-proclaimed genius president seems like is following through his threats. What worries me is not the fact he is challenging China for its more than questionable trade practises but the incompetency how this problem would be solved.

This could a fun way to learn ML using just your browser. I'm still skeptic about the performance but for prototyping it could be viable. One thing bothering me about reading the API is the inconsistent way of adding semicolons. Not an

Hah I applaud you for writing all the details. I have to agree that in some cases using Docker doesn't really do much anything at all. When speed and productivity is on the line at times it's better to just stick with the old ways
