Yeah it's odd we needed a whole article for this. "You can't out exercise a bad diet" has always been true outside of the most extreme cases (competitive athletes).

Fair enough, I guess this just seems like a bold assumption to make since an explicit handler function is a cornerstone of lambda, rather than being able to run module level code and having the end self detected.

It may just be such a basic tenant of the platform that no one thought to. You stop getting billed after lambda returns a response so why would you expect computation to continue? This guy expected free lunch.

For brochure / static content sites this is definitely the beginnings of a web crawler but it can be a lot trickier for web apps. For example, clicking a link which loads some data, then clicking edit (which isn't even an anchor),

If you are using Cludfront with an S3 origin you can turn on static website hosting and specify a 404 fallback page[0] - which would then just be your index file. It will render your client code and let you show a 404 if it is indeed one. T

I don’t know what my use case for this would be. I don’t tend to do anything regularly through a browser that I’d want to automate. Would be kind of handy to have a “pull all my relevant tax info documents from these sites and zip them up”

On an iPhone, can they actually access mic input without the indicator being on?

It just seems odd in this context given they are willfully compiling these screenshots together, displaying them prominently, and saying they pay attention to details. What details are they trying to highlight here, if not the UI details? I

Am I the only one who gets an uncanny feeling visiting this site? If someone told me this was software satire I would believe them. This cyberpunk-ish theme with juvenile sprite sprinkled over it (e.g. the little AI guy floating under the v

"Learn to Code like a Developer" is a funny tag line to me. Isn't the point to become a developer? Or are you saying: "you're going to learn with modern tools, just like how a may use tools to facilitate coding?&quo

A concrete example would be a users shopping cart, as they build it. You don’t need the niceties of a fully ACID compliant DB, you need write performance, and extremely high availability. That was at least a chief use case spotlighted in th

C++ for when you need to be very close to the metal. Java (and C#) are still legitimate options for server side code when you want speed and type safety but managed memory.

I duplicated a repo to test this out on and signed up, only to find that all I could try out was Authentication. That's probably one of the features most dependent on which library or identity provider you are using and they only have

I think certain fads are a little dreadful in terms of unoriginality - those humaaans illustrations, for example. But I think most of the web really should look similar. I think of brochure websites like resumes: you're trying to depic

Yeah I'm always surprised by the downright hate. I use the console for 95% of things and it's alright. My gripe is that the thing just gives off this BLOATED impression. Safari routinely reloads it because it was "using signi

I don't think the knight should be allowed to move in a full circle. It should be disjointed - four arches. Allowing a knight to move two squares orthogonally kind of makes it a completely different piece.

I find the debugging and testing process pretty slow with AWS SAM so I may have to try this out when you have a Node runtime.

From what I gather, it seems like this would be a good choice if a portion of clients are on low end devices and it is more of a MPA/SPA hybrid - not a full blown web app. A lot of E-commerce and informational sites do fall into the MP

Going to third the "need more information on this." Are they job hopping, in which case wouldn't that also be a revenue stream for 70MR? Did they find that it was such a sellers' market that they didn't need 70MR&#x

Fundamentally, if you want to support multiple, unlinked accounts per person you'll still need some sort of "account designator." If you don't then the biometric marker can just replace both password and username. The re

That's pretty much what happened here. Obviously it's going to look a bit different afterwards because you have to mathematically tangle the time, key, and domain together. You can't really do that with the six digits of a tr

I'm surprised how many people are just nitpicking the examples like they are supposed to be rigorous analogies. The point that I walked away with is that oftentimes experts use these same heuristics even when people assume they are not

Yeah I feel the same way. I want wordle to be about guessing words, not constructing some max entropy string within the constraints.

What do you mean by incorrect? The equation has to be valid, according to the rules. At some point I ended up with 2 + <x> + 8 = 1<y> where x = y because of math. I had 5 guesses left and 8 possibilities. That's just gambli

Having been in the same situation, as well a similar one invoking cigarettes, I suggest to you winter green life savers. (Bare with me.) They certainly don’t help with any physical issues but they help with the mental side. I’m not sure wha

People seem to invoke the word capitalism whenever things aren't a utopia for everyone involved. Still, even without capitalism, you'll have to contend with the issue of how to cover operational expenses. Say some, more centralize
