We experienced something like this a long while ago, something like 4-5 years. We still employ our workaround, which is to have a tiny "keepalive" instance in each AZ in the ELB.

The OCR is flaky. The first email has "Release in Part" and the 'Part' is coming up as 'Fart' after OCR. And in the second email the word "fact" is coming up as "fart". If you download the P

This is an old article and is almost entirely op-ed. No idea how this got to the top of page on HN. :/

Wow. So complex and tightly packed. I wonder if they have any information on how serviceable the unit is, or what its operating life-cycle might be. In any case, a fascinating achievement, this is a historic day certainly.

I was hoping this was an update to this project; bugfixes, or more examples, or docs. Very cool that this exists though. @emodendroket "Isn't the fun of writing NES software basically doing it like guys would have done in the 80s?

Iron Bar for President! I think it's a very weird analogy, and a terrible title for an article on phys.org.

The source is apparently, "Some Czech guy". At least they plainly state at the beginning of the article: "Note: Some readers have commented that the original source for the article is of questionably validity. If anyone can c

I would consider parts that can be used in board games part of the board games ecosystem and market though. Even people making those dice sets, dice rollers, and such are supporting the board game market. So the distinction is irrelevant. I

Also, even though I also think it is irrelevant distinction between miniatures and board games - I'd like to add that Zombicide is not a typical miniatures game. Also, the recent successful Ghostbusters game, which plays very similarly

Ok, no 503s but just got a very small burst of 500s, "com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.AmazonS3Exception: Status Code: 500, AWS Service: Amazon S3, AWS Request ID: -redacted-, AWS Error Code: InternalError, AWS Error Message: We encount

We saw a short burst of 503s a short while ago, but we have not seen any since. Hopefully we do not see any more though. Also, for the record, S3 has been very stable for us otherwise. We have been rather happy with AWS overall.

I'm not going to read the article, and I'm not going to even say if I like VIM or not. I have become completely bored with the discussions about the pros and cons of VIM and other editors. My only hope is hundreds of years ago peo

Looking forward to giving this a try - we currently use an offshoot of "resque" for the Java ecosystem called "jesque", but it's always good to explore alternatives.

In homage to things like this, there are a number of 512 byte, 1k, etc. game development competitions. You can find them allover for a variety of machines. If you're interested these tiny masterpieces, you should enter a competition, o

I, for one, really like his use of potato. Also, thanks for sharing. I disagree with any people saying engineers can't make fonts. It's like saying engineers can't possibly have any other skills. Font away!

Their goal of $32M seems impossible, unless I'm not understanding how indiegogo works. If all the pledge levels 'fill up' (Only $830 and $20 do not have caps) They hit about 11 or 12 million. That leaves about 20 million to
