There's some limitations with both lambda and the API gateway that you need the be aware of -

API gateway has a fixed timeout of 10 seconds that you can't currently extend. Should be fine for most use cases, but something to be aware of if you have any functions that will take longer.

Lambda functions cannot return binary data.
The only proof I have is an anecdote but it is consistent with my research-- and I've lost 100 pounds in 8 months as a result.

The biggest problem is we have rejected science from food to begin with. We have government spending billions pushing a diet designed to create obesity (which is very high in carbs, effectively sugar, and low in fat.)

Likely there are at least two types of people biochemically- those who are insulin sensitive and those who are insulin resistant.

The insulin sensitive tend to not be fat and if they are fat its because they are really over eating. These people are the ones who end up thinking that fat people are lazy, or who think that "You should just eat less sugar" (not realizing that carbs are effectively sugar) or "calories in < calories out".

The insulin resistant people tend to be the fat ones. And for them a diet low in carbs is effective. I've seen a lot of studies and this is consistent in all of them.

Personally, I finally found out about the effect insulin plays on the creation and storage of energy in fat cells.

Government has been pushing a high carb diet for decades and as at the same time we have an obesity epidemic. Instead of recognizing the problem (correlation is not causation but you can't claim they have caused obesity to go down) they are going to war against fats. Transfats being banned is junk science (I eat a lot of them and my blood work is great, and getting better, not worse) and their use in the food system is because of government going to war on "Saturated" fats in the first place.

The war on Fat is the cause of obesity, in my opinion, because it is political, and not scientific, and ignores the insulin sensitivity issue.

I'm slow banned because this site is not tolerant of diversity, so I can't reply to Max below. (And so I'm off to do something fun. Caio!)

Here's the reply I tried to give him:

======================================================

Fish oil is trans fats. I'm taking trans fats supplements!

I think the larger issue is that people are looking at things way too simplistically ("trans fats bad because more of them means problem x") and not controlling for other things-- eg: there's a huge difference between eating a pure meat and vegetable diet (And consequently a lot of fat) and eating a lot of fats in the presence of a lot of carbs. Those anti-trans fats studies did not control for carbs (as far as I can tell).

This is why the blood work of people on keto disproves the "trans fats bad" hypothesis.

And also "trans fats" are a government propaganda boogeyman-- how many people take fish oil supplements and also oppose trans fats, do you think?

I can't do two experiments on myself at once. Since things are going in the right direction now, I want to enhance my weight loss.
They've put out videos of past landing failures. No reason to think they'd be shy about this one.
The tl'dr: Eat actual food.
I recently built a small service running on Lambda as part of a data pipeline. It doesn't get called very often, so it's well within the free tier. It's far from core functionality, and we wanted to just stick it somewhere where we wouldn't have to worry about it.

I would second what meddlepal said in a sibling comment about tooling and documentation. Everything is a little undercooked. I can see something like Apex being hugely useful here.

Given the current pricing it does seem hard to imagine large-scale systems running entirely on Lambda. But I imagine that will change.

I completely agree with TJ that we are headed for a new paradigm in server-side computing that looks a lot more like Lambda than Docker or Chef. We're racing towards a much higher level of abstraction. It's too early to tell if it will be an AWS product that emerges as the dominant platform for this new paradigm, or if a new player becomes dominant.
I was under the impression that this was useful only for GUI programming, but yes, that's a use case. I'm happy to know there are other legit use cases.

Multiple requests didn't cause the issue. It was asking for all of his data to be queued in such a small window of time. The same thing would have happened without the bug.
Low carb for 8 months, so I think I'm beyond the short term measure. My bloodwork is better now than before. I can't imagine what nutrition I'm being deficient in, and the things that are potential issues I already take supplements (and since there's not a lot of risk in vitamins I take more than I probably need and for more types of vitamins than I need.)

Of course this is anecdote and it gets to the key problem the article is addressing-- there's no controlled group of statistically significant size who are all eating the same diet for decades.

When I hit my target weight I'll go into a maintenance mode anyway hat will include more carbs. I've done this twice- once when I was moving and once over christmas where I didn't want to be on the diet and increased carbs. I was able to keep my weight relatively flat.

But there are studies where people do this diet-- not just the scores of anecdotes on reddit/r/keto- but actual studies. And of course self reporting is not ideal, but I saw a meta study of a variety of diets that seemed to indicate the more low carb/high fat you went the more effective you were (there is a spectrum- keto, zero-carb, atkins, protien power, pescatarian diets, etc.)

The practical thing is, this diet not only caused me to lose weight ,but totally changed my relationship with food-- I'm not longer hungry. I eat as much as I want so long as I keep carbs under 20 a day (and really I usually hit less than 10 known carbs, often zero known carbs, but carbs slip in to all kinds of things, like cheese which should be no carbs has some, etc.) Sometimes I forget to eat meals. When I go off the diet and eat carbs, I find myself hungry soon after eating.

This change in my relationship with food and no longer being hungry indicates to me that part of the cause of my previous over eating is the carbs causing hunger. This points to it not being me starving myself, but an orientation towards food, or types of food.

Which I think is hormonal. Since many people report similar effects, and it is reproducible, there's room for real science there.

I remember watching a ton of sugary cereal commercials as a kid. I'm pretty sure Kellogs was banned from advertising cereals that did not meet some minimum health requirement in 2007. [1]

With that said, it's ultimately the parent's responsibility to make sure the kid is eating healthy foods. I was recently at an amusement park cafeteria and I saw lines out the door of parents and their children holding huge green refillable cups, waiting for their turn at the Coke fountain drink machines. Many of the kids were clearly overweight. It struck me as terribly sad and unfair that the kids did not know any better than to enjoy sugary drinks, but that the parents knew exactly what they were feeding their children and just didn't care.

No, it's not about the black pixel at all. Of course zero times anything is zero. It's actually about the red pixel next to it.

The method the article details is the correct implementation for a variety of reasons that it goes into. Yes, there are different ways you can handle 100% transparent pixels on the edges, but only premultiplied alpha handles all edge cases that we're concerned about.

I'm kind of surprised Hetzner didn't replace a hard drive after the first raid; it was apparently operating in degraded RAID-1.
Learning about diets and food is also terribly difficult because the internet and books are so full of people who are so dead certain about their pseudo science. There is so much emotion attached to food that getting an objective rational opinion on anything food related is next to impossible. Personally I like the Soylent creators take on it. He seems extremely focused on figuring out the objective truths and ignore all the wishy washy emotional bullshit.

And also with so many eating exclusively the soylent mixture which is easy to control what goes into, they got an excellent opportunity to study many hypothesis about food. E.g. how important is it to eat "live fresh food" vs just getting the micro nutrients in the right mix.

I don't like how the title and article reads like a hit piece on Amazon Glacier. It's great at what it is intended for. In addition it seems he still saved money because over 3 years because the $9 a month savings added up to more than the $150 bill for retrieval.

I'm surprised that this aspect has not been mentioned here in the comments yet:

> I was initiating the same 150 retrievals, over and over again, in the same order.

This was the actual problem that resulted in the large cost.

At my old job we would get a lot of complaints about overage charges based on usage to our paid API. It wasn't as complicated of pricing as a lot of AWS services, just x req / month and $0.0x per req after that, but every billing cycle someone would complain that we overcharged them. We would then look through our logs to confirm they had indeed made the requests and provide the client with these logs.
My child doesn't watch TV, and is surrounded by ad blockers of all possible varieties. Consequently she rejects food that she can't break down easily into ingredients with plain English names.

The more general problem with America is the prevalence of business models that depend on sales of people's attention. "If it's free, you're the product" is such an integral part of living in the US these days that most people don't even realize how deeply in hock they are.

Cutting the cord, abandoning traditional TV programming (including daytime content-less shows and infomercials) and fighting the good fight against ads will eventually leave consumers free to make their own decisions. I'm worried only that it might take too long: the genetic damage to humanity will already be done.
Back when I worked in banking we had requirements like that (though we didn't use glacier)

We had a legal requirement to be able to product up to 7 years worth of bank statements upon receipt of a subpoena.

Not "reproduce the statements from your transactions records" but "give us a copy of the statement that you sent to this person 6.5 years ago"

We had operational data stores that could generate a new statement for that time period, but if we received the subpoena then we needed to be able to produce the original, that included the (printed) address that we sent it to, etc.

We had (online) records of "for account 12345, on 27th October 2011, we sent out a statement with id XYZ", we'd just need a way to pull up statement XYZ.

There's no way(^) we'd ever get subpoenaed for more than 5% of our total statement records in a single month, so something like Glacier would have been a great fit.

We had other imaging+workflow processes where we'd receive a fax/letter from a client requesting certain work be undertaken (e.g a change of address form). 90 days after the task was completed, you could be pretty sure that you wouldn't need to look at the imaged form again, but not 100% sure. We could have used glacier for that.

We use case that would have cost us (rare, but we needed to plan for it) was "We just found that employee ABC was committing fraud. Pull up the original copies of all the work they did for the 3 years they worked here, and have someone check that they performed the actions as requested."
Depending on circumstances & volume that might trigger some retrieval costs, but the net saving would almost certainly still be worth it.

(^) Unless there was some sort of class action against us, but that's not a scenario we optimised for.

Others have commented on this, but I'm curious where you get foreign governments from - is it part of the sections/comment you quote - but just accidentally left out of your quote?

Because as I understand it, one of the many serious grievances people have with the TPP is that it grants international corporations a legal framework in which they can bully states into changing/not passing laws that "limit" trade, even in the name of public interest.

See sibling comments for examples of how corporations have worked against nation states wrt eg nationalising oil, or limiting marketing of cigarettes.

No, because he can download the 60GB at a slower, cheaper rate, paying less than the storage for the 1.8TB and getting it sooner than a month.
Ignoring the childish domain name, hopefully the discussion won't go down that route again - that guy seems quite sincere and explains the situation quite well.

My take away: Don't (blindly) trust Germany, and certainly don't use Hetzner. If he's correct ("Hetzner didn't provide a copy of the confiscation order to me or my lawyer") I'm glad to be the first in this community that runs around, arms flailing, shouting "Hetzner is bad, Hetzner is the devil".
What's your blood work look like if you eliminate trans fats while keeping everything else as similar as possible?

Edit to answer: Fish oils are not trans fats. But my point was that you had not yet even run an n=1 experiment and shouldn't draw any conclusions from your experience (unless you think the weight loss and other changes you speak of would have no impact on your blood work...).
Nothing is certain of course but I tend to believe your line of reasoning based on the stuff I've read. I think we really should reduce carbo hydrate intake for the stuff we eat we should use more of the whole grain stuff: whole wheat, brown rice etc. White flower and rice is terrible and we should really try to stop eating it. More chick peas, beans etc instead. But I also think it is important that while pushing more fat in the diet we should emphasize eating the right kind of fat: more fat fish, cold pressed olive oil, avocado, nuts etc.

My problem is that I know a lot of this stuff but I don't really live it. Hard to change habits once you have developed them. I just love bread and pasta too much e.g.
Yeah, I remember the express lines in the 80s often were "cash only" since check and credit were so much slower than cash.

Groups in Europe a few years ago were trying to push for video card manufacturers to build the hash database into their drivers, so that no image could be displayed which was not first checked. Never underestimate the amount of resources people are willing to dedicate to "stopping child abuse" as long as it doesn't require doing things actually shown to stop child abuse - like education, empowerment, and providing resources for the relocation of children leaving dangerous environments. None of that stuff gets headlines, or makes it look like a cop is doing a good job like going online, or opens the door to later extension to whatever sort of content groups feel like controlling.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that the thickest component in an iPhone is the camera, not the headphones socket. So removing the socket won't make the phone any thinner, unless Apple goes for a wedge-shaped design, perhaps.

Arguments about "high-resolution" audio notwithstanding (there's no need for anything better than "CD quality", you can't hear the difference), I understand that Apple wants to drive technology forward and that wireless audio over bluetooth "should" be the future.

But ultimately I feel like the 3.5mm connector is just too entrenched. My headphones use it. My car uses it. Even crazy things like the Square card reader use it.

No, it's not ideal, but it is everywhere, and universal.

Surely there will be an adapter, but I fear that the adapter will probably have a DAC and an amp in it, and unless they make the adapter bulky, I can't imagine that a teeny-tiny DAC/amp will sound as good as the one currently inside the iPhone.
umm, except for the rest of the lifeforms on earth.
I assume that for 32-bit floats, you could mostly do away with the HP stuff and just use 64-bit floats, right? Though it does make me wonder if that's always faster than two 32-bit floats. I would think so.
There are diet specific versions of soylent, now:

here is the recipe:
https://diy.soylent.com/recipes/keto-chow-104-master-rich-ch...

Its true that its hard not to sound like an evangelist when you've lost weight-- but it's not pseudo science when there are studies that support the hypothesis (of course a lot of diets are fad diets and are pseudo science). The thing is its hard to tell the pseudo science from the real science.

Personally, in my experiment, I'm going to try adding Keto Chow to my diet over the next couple of months and see how I feel about it.

FWIW, my civil engineer friends once told me that the biggest problem with building something like this often isn't the tunnel itself, it's making sure you minimise damage to everything already built on the ground above. In this case, there is a lot of London up there, and causing subsidence under a road with average house prices in the millions would be a very expensive mistake.

Three thoughts

1. As Taleb has often argued, you dont need to fully understand a problem, all the interaction effects etc., in order to understand that nature has already solved it. Eat what your ancestors ate.

2. Could it be that the people who go into food science are basically rejects from more respected disciplines?

3. People seem to widely hold beliefs about diet which are patently illogical. For instance everyone seems to talk about how people put on weight because their metabolism slows down, or because it was slow to start with. This doesn't make sense. Rate of conversion of food into energy has nothing to do with eating more than your activity level required. Could someone explain this to me?

Between 2009 and 2013, including when Mrs. Clinton was secretary of state, the Clinton Foundation received at least $8.6 million from the Victor Pinchuk Foundation, according to that foundation, which is based in Kiev, Ukraine. It was created by Mr. Pinchuk, whose fortune stems from a pipe-making company. He served two terms as an elected member of the Ukrainian Parliament and is a proponent of closer ties between Ukraine and the European Union.[1]

Between donations from Ukraine oligarchs to Clinton foundation, Joe Biden's son involved in Ukraine gas corporations, the hundreds of millions spend by U.S. every year in Ukraine to "build democratic institutions", stories from recruited shooters planted in Euromaidan[2], here you are, saying U.S. officials are the good guys for the Ukrainian people. If that's not effective propaganda, I don't know what is.

And if you think the above situation is fine and dandy, I think there's nothing else we can say to increase our agreement. I'm not the kind of person who would interfere with my neighbours family, because their children didn't get lunch money for school, so that I can buy their house at a foreclosure auction later in the year when they divorce, but if you're fine with the U.S. government doing that kind of behaviour, then I should not interfere with that, either.
