The two-part xbox episode was my personal favorite, because I remember that scene in my early years but never knew the story behind it. The North Korea 3-parter is equally good IMO.

This is accurate. Their competitor, the Ecovacs Deebot, just push an OTA update making cable detection way better. In a way the previous comment encapsulates all the misconceptions about robovacs. I was recently surprised to learn how good

To expand on this OP, I've done the AWS-full-stack approach in a mid-sized startup. Modern Serverless problems require modern serverless solutions. That ecosystem is simply not as developed as "traditional" web-server CI&#x2F

Nobody will suggest Java, but honestly Java. Java has pretty great flexibility when it comes down to concurrency. It sets the standard which all the other languages have to compete with. Apart from that, I like languages and frameworks that

It's always been a Swiss Army Knife. It's a single-threaded-in-memory caching, pubSubing, streaming, distributed-locking beast.

SPAs exist for a reason. Same with SSR. Developer ergonomics play a bigger role than you think. And if you think that the choice is either SPA or SSR then you haven't been paying attention to recent developments in the frontend world.

> I dislike all the magic of rails. This is my #2 problem with Ruby, and it's also the reason why a lot of folk love it. I think of macros in the same way I think of RegEx, if you're writing one you better hope it works perfect

Honest question from someone completely oblivious to AMP. What problem was AMP trying to solve? "Make websites load faster" is a buzzword-flag to me, and it's not really explained in the wikipedia article [1] [1] https:&#x2F

Fair enough. "Crazy complicated" and "the professionals" are both intended as subjective terms. To ME this stuff might as well be magic.

There's a searching concept known as edit (levenshtein) distance that is close but not exactly what you're talking about. To rephrase your question: is there a datastructure that can pre-compute the levenshtein distance for a set

All good choices, but it's also worth noting that the structure of the author's DAG is strange. The way this is set up, you would have to change Python code to run (or rerun) this task for different days. In canonical Airflow, the

Xenophobia is a classic way to win an election. From that perspective this is a great policy for him.

True, I'm not disagreeing with you. However, it's worth nothing that Cockroach DB's consistency model assumes consensus in 180ms, and Spanner assumes similar SLOs at 6ms. Arguably, one could say that the reason why an open-so

I really like this engineer's method of software estimation. It's really close to what Civil Engineers use to estimate load, called Load-Factor-Resistant-Design. That's a fancy way of saying, that we come up with an estimate,

As someone who works in Data Engineering, I'm a big fan of cloud-based docker containers with services like AWS Fargate/Google Run. It allows us to be able to pay for resource use rather than provisioning. For the longest time I h
