I think the idea is that if your service does more, it necessarily needs more work to maintain. From a simple point of view, there are just more moving parts to go wrong.

You would probably use something like a queue[0] that takes in data from the websocket and dishes it out to lambda functions. You might also use something like Kinesis[1] or other alternatives. [0] https://aws.amazon.com/sq

The provided index.html is optimised for readability, so it has a lot of extra whitespace. If you minify it, which results in the same content, it reduces to 337 characters[0] [0] https://femto.pw/irb7.html

I always considered my favourite system to be one where the discovery system was centralized, but the actual content itself and the ability to produce it was decentralized. So, for instance, you'd have "PeerTube" as a protoc

Not looked into the technology, but wouldn't it need to put a ridiculously strong laser to have any effect on garbage at all? Solar sails have to have a really large surface area and a really low mass in order to get even a tiny amoun

Any methodology for getting more information from less information is going to involve guess work at some point, surely? This guess work just happens to be helped along by having the results of (I assume) millions or more separate videos w

I haven't done chemistry in years, but I think you can fairly easily reuse the calcium carbonate pellet once it has been heated. I imagine the cost of energy is significantly less than the cost of the raw resources.

Jane's Research implies that we're actually getting really good value for money from BAE. That and the fact that the UK has far less custom armaments implies that they could swap with far more ease than the US.

If you have a C++ compiler that works, you should be fine. I've never had an issue installing a package that isn't, in fact, a C++ issue. Meanwhile, Python versioning of plugins is really broken, unless you use virtual environmen
