It sounds good, then you try and get a TER (regional train) and find there is one or two a day, using old rolling stock, overcrowded for an exorbitant price. So if you want to take a TGV to/from Paris, it is nice. Anything else, less s

Unless I misunderstand, AWS SnapStart and their memory snapshots are the same feature (taking memory snapshots to speed up cold start). It doesn't seem a fair comparison to ignore this and my assumption is because AWS Lambda SnapStart

I'm not sure I understand your point. Just because the country is large doesn't necessarily mean that you need larger fire trucks? (Or that America needs a one size fits all approach to fire trucks - things that work well in citie

The main reasons for micro services (that I didn't see covered) is that it reduces cross team overhead. 10 people working on a service is fine, 100 people working on a service requires processes which slow development down (as no one c

The interesting thing is that it that night trains can be quicker if you consider the waking. e.g. Zurich to Berlin - the train leaves at 8pm and gets in at 7am. So it is 2-3 waking hours spent. (Does of course depend on how well you sleep

Immich ( https://www.immich.app/ ) is still under heavy development, but looks like it will hit most of those requirements (but not automatic album generation).

4 out of the 5 people I know with Garmin watches need the battery life while tracking to exceed 8 hours (this watch lasts 1 hour). I doubt any of them are going to see this and swap their Garmin for an Apple watch. I think the Apple watch a

The goal is to help with the cost of living issues (in part caused by high gas costs) and I think reducing CO2 is secondary. Additionally I suspect trains (at least electric ones) have far less C02 emissions than cars. I'm not sure h

Maybe they are a bad interviewer? In my view, if the answer involves a topological sort the interviewer should know how to solve it and be able to follow and find errors in the candidates code. If the interviewer, knowing the answer, canno

No, the moka pot is different from a percolator. A percolator produces coffee in a method similar to drip coffee, where as the moka pot produces coffee under pressure (making it slightly more similar to espresso)

Which is fine - if you have a deeper understanding of the US laws than most non US citizens. As far as I (from the UK) had read in the news it was legal in a lot of states and so my understanding was it was legal and fine. I didn't rea

I think you need either code reviews or pair programming to ensure quality and bring developers up to a more even standard. However I am not as fond of pair programming for ensuring quality of a change. I find that often it is easy when pai

I am not sure I see the point in implementing MapReduce when most of the current work seems to be in generalising MapReduce - i.e. Apache Spark and YARN. Is there any reasoning behind this?

Safety, how do you know the car is safe, what do you do if it has a leak, etc etc. A single unit that can be tested and properly maintained is a far better idea. You also then require car ownership, with very specialised cars that only a fe

Their comment that no one has yet to "beat" threes is in my opinion part of the problem. I get a kick out of beating something, having reached some goal (often in competition with someone else). So maybe 2048 is broken. Doesn&#x27
