I see a lot of responses here taking the purist line: that it's not real design and customers will know the difference. I suspect it's close enough in many cases that customers won't know or won't care. Likely it will ha

Yep if you wrote lambda@edge functions, which are part of Cloudfront and can be used for authentication among other things, they can only be deployed to us-east-1

Those 2 charts are amazing! At least the Itanium people adjusted their curves downward over time, looks like the IEA just carried on regardless!

So a 145% tariff on high tech goods will hurt the US too much? China should ban high tech exports to the US. That's gonna hurt both sides but the war was already started by Trump.

Actually I wrote it for Elon then added the headcount reduction!

From an alternate universe: I apologize for my erratic behavior which has tarnished our brand and created unnecessary turmoil within our organization. Regrettably, we will need to implement a 16% reduction in headcount to address the financ

I think it's smart to start with a high level language which should reduce development time, prove the worth of the application, then switch to a lower level language later. What was that saying again? Premature optimisation is the roo

Save money and go analog! Calibrate against a known spectrum. One example would be a sodium vapour street light but there aren't as many around these days.

A spectroscope is a handheld optical device which allows you to see the light distribution coming from a light source. Should be able to pick one up for under a hundred bucks.

Agreed from a software engineering perspective. I can't imagine who still uses stack overflow. However I'm still in the phase where I think of opening a browser before realising my IDE with it's LLM is a better first choice.

The great thing about young people is that they haven't had much time to develop a moral compass. I'd say that makes them perfect for the roles they've been given

I'm not a cheerleader of China by any means but the attitude you have towards China is scary. Why does the US have to control the world in order to be safe?

First thing I would have done is upgrade the version of Gatsby to latest. Did the author try that? If upgrading is difficult because of 4 years of breaking changes, blame Gatsby for not being backwards compatible. Also blame your original c

Agree 100%. That's the default on every support number you call these days. I think it's proactive anger management on behalf of the service provider

He'll get out - maybe through the embassy. It's not like there would be extradition between Russia and France with the relationship as it is at the moment.

Agreed. You say you're not depressed but actually when your describe how you feel it sounds a lot like depression. It might be a good idea to talk to a doctor about it.

In my country, last year it was definitely a candidate's market: I had recruiters reaching out all the time and I got the first job I applied for. This month I've been applying for jobs and not getting interviews. From the convers

That is nuts! The weirdest thing we have here (unrelated to roundabouts) is the hook turn which cars must obey at many intersections in the city: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_turn

by melbourne_mat 2y ago
I live in a country where roundabouts are common. They're great for relatively low traffic intersections as you can often get through much faster than lights. They are a liability when traffic levels are high enough - say during peak t

This is another one of those "I used this for 5 minutes and found this out" naive posts which add nothing useful. Check out the host LLM's at home crowd. One app to look at is llama.cpp. Model compression is one of the first
