Aldi has become our first stop for everything, if we can get it there we do before going to one of the big chains around us. Their prices are often 2-4x cheaper than the big chains, sometimes for the exact same item. “Fancy” cheeses that ar

I also like the frankness and simplicity of their communication style. No fancy buzzwords, to the point and speaks to things we all know are true but are typically not addressed or are wrapped up in spin. The first and last paragraphs are

You can always use step functions or some janky recursive calls to work around the 15 min timeout. I would recommend using docker containers and writing it in a way that you can swap out lambda/ecs/k8s/etc as the backend infr

I get these as well..(twice so far) they are no fun to say the least. I’ve also read stories of the surgeries making “flare ups” more regular. Stress seems to be a big driver for me (first one at the start of college and second one during t

I spent many hours in http://www.cburch.com/logisim/ during my program doing the same thing. It was a great feeling to finally get a sub component correct and then copy it around in the next layer up.

It doesn’t though. Poverty is well defined (and is defined based on the number of people in the household). https://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty-guidelines

Not sure about volume but mass wise it’s a drop in the bucket. About 4% of the moons mass according to Wikipedia. I was surprised to learn that the earth is about as massive as Mercury, Venus, Mars, the moon and a few more moons combined.

My understanding is that the “Andon Chord” was developed by Toyoda out of lean manufacturing in Japan as a result of resource constrained manufacturing. Do you have any information on “ the Harvard professor” and how JIT interacted with dom

The downside to that development cycle is that there is an overwhelming number of league mechanics, particularly for new players.

Extract and load. It’s a variation of ETL where you push the Transformation(T) step into the warehouse as opposed to doing the T out of band in code. This allows you to retain the data as raw as possible and empowers your analytics teams to

You probably just saved me a good 15min/week! Never knew you could toss “title:” in there. Thank you!

Thank you for all of your great Ansible work! I leverage a lot of them at work and they have been great! (I’ll be playing around with these!)

Many (all?) of the cloud providers offer credits to startups (credits as in free $ to spend on their services). So if they hadn’t burned through that, there would be no payment yet. (The startup I work at got $20k in credits and didn’t pay

This is just patently false. There are many resources that are free for those in need. (Help lines, churche/synagogue/mosque, support groups, etc)

I don't have any specific experience with emails but any time I need to move a lot of data around I go with Apache Kafka and Apache Flume. Write all of your emails into a kafka topic from your webapp. Read from the topic to do processi

So everyone goes back to reviewing movies ahead of time and Disney feels no pain from their actions beyond a small PR hit. I feel like everyone framing this as "We won't pre-review movies until you lift the block" gave them t

You don't need Redshift and it's not really the best for "combining data". I'd throw the data on S3, do the processing in spark(you can likely run on one node in local mode for now at that scale and scale as the dat

The schemas are not immutable. You also don't hit the schema registry for every message either, in fact you can skip the registry all together and provide the schema manually if you would like.

We run Kafka (and I believe Cassandra) on top of Centos/ZFS in AWS and haven't had any issues so far. (About a TB of data moving through every 3 days)

I feel like every time something like this comes up people completely skip over the benefit of having as much of your data processing jobs in one ecosystem as possible. Many of our jobs operate on low TBs and growing but even if the data fo
