That's kinda my point. Texting generally isn't used for business purposes either.

I do think saving specific messages is the best solution. But you can even see in this thread that people compare Signal (i.e. text) to physical mail or email and that's why saving all messages is "normal." So... if we're mixing that paradigm then I think gmail is an acceptable answer to the question.
It's not perfect, but depending on how much you know about them, probing niche areas of their interest can work out.

A book of 100 basic bread recipes is nearly useless for an experienced baker. A book of "authentic Mozambique bread recipes" though - that might be very interesting to them because it broadens their knowledge within their field. It's even better if it connects to them in a personal way - a family connection to Mozambique, or traveled there, etc.

It's not foolproof, but it's a big improvement.
I'm going to assume since you're processing off a queue, the lambdas are not serving a waiting user. If you do the work to orchestrate onto Fargate, you might as well go the rest of the way and move to ECS. Then you can use spots, where real savings kick in.

Someone mentioned step functions above. All of our steps run on spots. We also have some tasks like you have that read off queues and do processing, which also all run on spots.
Models of Society
But there’s also not many gifts I would want that only cost $20. Books, but that’s about it. A nice version of any material item seems to cost at least £30 ($40). What kind of gifts did people get?

Hmm, let's see. It would have been 2004-2008 IIRC. I think I did it at the tail end of that time period though. I want to say that it was on the gumdrop shaped macs but I know the school got some of the first iMacs around that time as well. The new iMacs were awesome to me because I could carry around an external hard drive and boot the newest macOS (Mac OS then) off it. It meant I had root and that coupled with a proxy gave me a fully unlocked computer.

Ask for hard drugs. :D

Kidding, of course. Gift giving really is often more about satisfying the giver's compulsion to do something for you. It's so that they can feel good.

The other suggestion about a charitable donation is good here, because there's a low bar for effort and they get the satisfaction.

I'm like you, but mostly because I buy for myself anything I want and don't hope that others will do for me. I'm also a screwball, so when people probe me for gift ideas, I challenge them.

I'd tell them things like:
Learn a new language.
Do that thing you've always been meaning to do.
Go after that X you've always wanted.
Why would you want to put it in Lambda then when there are better options?
It's crazy people don't want to hear that this could possibly be true. HMU on my email - we might know each other :)
Stupid question: Why do they decommission it instead of fixing it? It seems that it would be more work to build a new one.
I'm glad to hear that, and I hope it's true. I'd like to see a safe, effective vaccine. Thanks!
Honestly, it's just getting harder to participate without buying a bunch of junk. In my family we're keeping the tradition going, but the gifting part is getting harder as we're getting older. The stuff we want is becoming increasingly utilitarian so we don't want to wait, we'll just buy it on the spot. I'm planning to convince them to do either a secret Santa or a white elephant gift exchange next year.

As a runner, this is relatively useless without a GPS. Include that and sign me up in a heartbeat.
Whoa, cool. Could you make a .wav file or something so we can hear it?
Zzzeek has found exactly the ones I read.
I think there are also some points brought up by Chapelle that deserve quantitative legal scrutiny.

Coercion can invalidate a contract. Also, contracts that are extremely one sided can be legally challenged or that require no consideration from one of the parties. Additionally, contracts based on false information can be invalidated.

If I'm starving and I sign a contract to pay all of my future earnings for a plate of food, no court is going to hold up that contract.

Obviously, the methods used by these big companies are a higher and more complex level of coercion. But I think they deserve some scrutiny in this regard.
They just announced that you can use Docker images in Lambda of up to 10GB in size, that should solve all of these problems: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/new-for-aws-lambda-containe...
Thanks for answering questions I’ve had for a long time about POS. Do you have any links to share on the subject?
You were able to find sensors? When I've looked they've always been sold out for months.
I absolutely love this. We may think of Pac-Man as a simplistic game, but there is in fact a lot of depth there.

There are three modes of movement for the ghosts: Chase, Scatter, and Frightened. In Scatter mode, each of the four ghosts has a different movement goal, and in Chase mode they have really distinct movement goals.

While not covered by the article, I think the scoring system is sublime and is overlooked by many modern players.

Pac-Man is not fun when played for "survival."

The fun and beauty of the scoring system is only evident if you play for score. Then, it turns into a wonderful exercise of risk vs. reward, with each Frightened ghost worth twice the previous one: 200, 400, 800, 1600.

And you really cannot reach a respectable score without going for those 800's and 1600's!

Here's an example: A perfect score on the first board nets you over 16,000 points and takes just a minute or so. However, if you simply played "to survive" it would take five or ten minutes or more to drudge your way to the same score...

I live in Germany. Bus and train ridership is down, naturally, although it is recovering. So I figured a lot of people are driving. I asked a friend who works for a car portal, and he said that yes, more cars are being sold, but they are cheaper used cars and not newer more expensive ones.

A common function of malware is to create "zombie" computers that are controllable en-mass to, say, DDoS a website.

Thanks for the explanation, but I'm well aware of malware. I wrote my own boot sector viruses back in 8-bit days.

But the point still stands: Microsoft's practices stop him from doing his work, and could cost him his livelihood because it assumes that fixing its failures are more important than his work. What's the point of even having the computer if it can't be relied upon to do complex tasks?
I don't know, everybody here got excuses, kids, boss, housework whatever. I find myself just being lazy, procrastinating and not doing what I suppose to do. Can't blame anything or anyone, it is just me.
WA Notify: Washington State's COVID19 Contact Tracing
BTW, this is also how iOS apps could detect jailbreak status of the device: just try to open paths like `/var/lib/apt`, if it does not exist, it should return ENOENT; otherwise you would know this device is “not clean”.

Didn’t think the sandboxing on macOS also has this issue.
A few years ago I realized the most important part of gift giving is to devote some amount of time to really focus on a person and think about what they might want or like or need. In my opinion, this is the only part that matters, and if you take the pressure off of yourself for actually giving a great gift, sometimes you end up getting them something great anyway, because you're freed up to really meditate on them as a person.

Another tip is to pay attention to what kinds of gifts they give. Many times people just buy others things they want for themselves. e.g. my sister-in-law always bought women earrings, started getting her earrings to great effect!

I interpreted the OP as suggesting that the proper analog for a $200 (plus ads) Windows Pro license was a Linux long term support contract, suggesting that $200 (plus ads) for Windows Pro is a bargain compared to a Linux support contract (e.g., from redhat or similar). In this case, I'm not sure why a Linux support contract is an appropriate comparison operand.

If the OP indeed meant "Windows LTSC", then I'm not following along with their point.
> 3 days to setup macOS? Yes, it took me at least 3 days, keep in mind that a setup is not just installing software, it's also dotfiles, shell environment, automout (I use NFS a lot), PGP/GPG-alike keychains, the OS keychain, Firewall (pf in my case), privacy settings, company-related software, etc. So yes, it takes time, which I am okay with. My problem with macOS is the fact that updating/upgrading the system crashes a lot of configuration.

I do get frustrated when other people jump in to in effect say "jeeze, three days, what are you doing wrong?"

I sent my work Macbook into Apple for a keyboard replacement, which naturally means they have to wipe the SSD, as one does with keyboard replacements. Setting it up again meant replicating three years of cruft that I had long since forgotten about. Its been a month since I did this, and I'm still not up to the level it was before.

Password manager, check. Both the native 1Password and browser extensions. Speaking of browsers, need to install both Firefox and Chrome for testing. Brew? Ok. AWS, gotta configure new access credentials there, now lets install the aws-cli, oh its not available in a package manager, cool. Node, Go, Rust, Elixir, ok now maybe my git repositories? Oh, git isn't installed, lets install xcode, and there's a system update, that'll take about 25 minutes. Didn't I have a command to quickly switch kubernetes contexts? Lets see if I snippeted that somewhere, actually I guess i need to install eksctl and kubectl now. Don't forget email sign-in, calendar sign-in, gotta install slack, iterm, VSCode, jeeze I remember VSCode being a lot more productive, yup I'm missing about twenty extensions.

This stuff is really, really hard to automate; not because its technically hard to automate, though in some cases it is, but its shit I do, like, once every three years. No one automates things they do three times a decade. Cloud or local server system image backups can help, but I'm not giving Apple a full system image for Time Machine to use, there's too much sensitive data on this machine. Its just hard! And that's ok.
That money would be better spent building roads etc, fuck just give it for free to the worker. Some would end up running local businesses instead of stuffing offshore accounts.
Ah. I will give two answers, one about peoples' attitudes, and the other structural.

Most people who move to the suburbs do so as a compromise between being close to the city (jobs, shopping, culture) and further away from other people. That is, getting away from others is part of the point - it's part of why people move to the suburbs. They're not looking for community. (As I said, most people. It's not 100%.)

Given that, most suburbs don't provide much structural support for community, either. (If people aren't looking for it, it would be a waste anyway.) They don't usually have a community center, not even an unofficial one, like a diner or a pub. (I should qualify that - first ring suburbs often have at least a diner or a pub, though second ring suburbs often don't.) There aren't stores within the suburb - that is, not within walking distance - so you have to drive to get to anywhere, unless you're explicitly going to a neighbor's house. And your neighbors aren't walking anywhere, either. There might be a park, but it's big enough that you can be separate from others who are there. "Community" becomes "When I'm out working in my yard and my neighbors drive by, I wave".

What would make it different? Start by explicitly intending to be different, so you attract people who want to be different. Then give them support. Have a community center. (Figure out how it's going to be funded, or it's going to die.) Figure out a way to have stores and shops within the neighborhood - walking distance to people - and yet have the stores get enough business to survive. Maybe create joint garden plots between houses, so that 1) people don't put up fences between houses, and 2) people have something to do together.
Haven't you ever thought that the flippant attitude is exactly why you are able to learn of this now (and not 10 years later/if at all)? If everyone was "policy abiding" folks who will give a megacorp the benefit of the doubt, these won't be disclosed for years.

The flippant attitude is exactly why and how you are reading of all these vulnerabilities now.

Knowledge of the issue (but enduring "flippancy") or not knowing it at all? You pick.

What I'm really saying is that this "flippancy" is the agency that's making someone write a blog post, sign their name to it, put it out there with code samples, etc. You dismissing "flippancy" is insulting the agency of this. Without that emotion, that idea where they thought Apple wasn't treating them well, that is the source where people find the energy to publish, to publicise.

Every single word takes strength to write. In this case, the flippancy was the driving force and it shows clearly.

Why would you dismiss that energy?

And no, it's not the author's job to "shield" you from the wrath of their flippancy. I take it and I thank "flippancy" for disclosing this issue.
maybe it's a sign of your lack of self-awareness that you assume anyone who disagrees with you is ignorant?
Are they selling a bunch of activity data to people or something? $20 for a smart watch has me wanting to try this. I wonder if the catch is that they only work for about a year?

Managing macOS Hardware: Virtualization, Bare Metal, Amazon EC2?
I don't use Windows, but from the comments it seems that Windows just forcibly reboots after some time.
I'm sure your Fedora workstation will ask you to reboot, but not just do it without you triggering the action.
> Yes it does. The Xcode GUI only allows one build at a time, but you can run multiple `xcodebuild` command line builds using the same or different versions of Xcode in parallel, even under the same macOS user.

This isn't true. "xcode-select" forces you to set a system-wide Xcode version. If you have a job that uses one version and a concurrent job selects another version, it will potentially break the first job.
Again, all addressable through Windows Update -> Advanced and some very simple once monthly manual update schedule on your work calendar. It is what I do, and it is really not hard at all. This is all discoverable on the web through a generic "control windows update" search. No special tools needed.

Once a month I update my work PC and three home PCs, all on the same day. Easy to remember, saves surprise updates and reboots.
Currently it's only ECR, and public Docker hub. I hope they will support private registries soon.

Ask for food. You always need food. They can make it themselves, such as a favorite recipe, which will make it special to them. Or they can buy something that they like and think that you might like, which conveys a connection between you.

If it's good, you get a great memory. Even if it's not, it's soon gone, and not weighing down your life.

There are some who have rigorous diets or otherwise don't want their routine disrupted. This advice won't work for them. In that case, try an event, such as a day out (though the winter solstice may not be the best time for that, especially not during a pandemic).

But in a wide variety of cases, food does everything you want a gift to do. It's something personal that doesn't become a burden. And it can be done for a reasonable amount of money or time.
When I read things like this, it makes me not want to have children. From friends, it doesn’t sound like your experience is much different.

I’m sure you’re biased and it’s culturally unacceptable (to say the least) to say that you’d rather not have had kids, but I wonder how often you think about that loss of individuality? Maybe it’s that what you’d do were you to have the time wouldn’t be as “productive” in a broad, undefinable “life” sense? Or that intellectualizing “take away this kid” is too emotionally fraught to even consider?

It feels amoral to ask these questions, but as I reach the time when friends are having kids and the biological clock of partners becomes a real factor, I’m not sure how to know.
After using lambda quite a lot recently I think the vendor lock-in argument is overstated, especially with things like Serverless framework.

The lock-in comes more with the other AWS products you end up using such as CloudFormation and DynamoDb, but not Lambda which in most cases can be wrapped around an Express server or similar and could be hosted anywhere
They think that Biden is going to be more likely to allow a response? That seems... improbable.
Interesting, but they ship only to the US, which is a deal breaker for me. Would've ordered.
