I hadn't noticed this and am fascinated (and confused)- mind if I ask y'all questions to get more details?

Like, if I see a price on the website on my home network (the lower one, yes?) then I go to the store and look it up again then I see the higher one, yes? But once I'm standing in front of the item there's a paper label on the item (or on the shelf under the item) telling me what the price is, yes?

What's the point of displaying different prices in different places?

Is it only for "online only" items that they're offering to let you purchase while you're standing in their stores?

Has everyone here has stated, Writing the information is a very effective way to reinforce your retention of it. You can make it even more effective by writing the information in the form of a flash card, and then using spaced repetition to reinforce the information until you have mastered it.

There are a lot of good flash card applications out there that use this technique; my favorite is [https://www.ankiapp.com AnkiApp]. (AnkiApp.com)

> I've seen 30s on AWS

No, you've seen 30s on a random implementation running on AWS.

If you write your lambdas without knowing what you're doing then you can't blame the technology for being grossly misused by you.

Case in point: developing AWS Lambdas for the JDK runtime. The bulk of the startup time is not the lambda at all but the way the lambda code is initialized. This means clients and auth and stuff. I've worked on JDK Lambdas where cold starts were close to 20s due to their choice of dependency injection framework (Guide, the bane of JDK lambdas) which was shaven down to half that number by simply migrating to Dagger. I've worked on other JDK lambdas which saw similar reductions in cold starts just by paying attention to how a Redis client was configured.

Just keep in mind that cold start times represent the time it takes for your own code to initialize. This is not the lambda, but your own code. If you tell the lambda to needlessly run a lot of crap, you can't blame the lambda for actually doing what you set it to do.

You can't forget something if you understood it. A concept is internalized when one understood the concept. Techniques to memorize something is not effective. Even worse techniques are glorified. Then one spends a lifetime polishing the techniques to memorize what they wanted to internalize in the first place. It's a trap.

Want to memorize something? Try to really understand what's going on. You cannot forget something if you already understood it. If you can't recall it, then maybe it's not that helpful to you or you didn't understand it in the first place at all.

The techniques to memorize something effectively are organic, an effect when someone tries to learn in their own way effectively. Starting with techniques is a trap.

How many people who have used Anki or whatever forms of memorization became world class at what they do? It's a distraction.
Why not use the library? With tree shaking and/or direct imports you will ensure the same bundle size as if you just copied the file, and you don't have to worry about licenses etc. In fact, since other dependencies might depend on lodash you can deduplicate the import and actually save on bundle size.

You'll also get notified of any security issues in your lodash imports if your CI pipeline is setup for doing that kind of thing.

Decompiling Binary Code for Software Assurance and Localized Repair
Having someone smoothing over the out of box experience for a lot of OSS is of value to me. A lot of projects I undertake get bogged down or stymied by setup instructions that trivialize or one-line non-trivial tasks (e.g. setup OpenCV, configure a reverse proxy in Nginx, etc).

A lot of this comes down to the fact that software moves quickly and instructions are written for a given piece of hardware on a specific version of a distro.

One of the benefits of having a common platform like the Raspberry Pi or shipping Docker Images is that you can ship a MVP that anyone can easily setup like Hassio, Pi-Hole, or PiWebcam.
It's nearly _good_. Still a bit janky imo
Great example, I contract in FE space and GraphQL is very often brought up - 100% in project context where it didn't really make sense and most of the time I got the feeling they will bring it up to have it on the CV or out of FOMO.

I personally see good use in GraphQL for 2 usecases:

- Aggregator over existing (!) microservices backend arch that has REST (plus maybe gRPC) in place, to allow FE people to move fast with their UI. In no way should new services be written in GraphQL, BE should still use REST (+gRPC)

- Prototyping/Fast clickdummy implementation; ideally a Snapshopt of an existing DB is used, and graphQL adapter for 1:1 entity mapping to allow 1-2 FE devs to quickly toss together a new FE (this should under no circumstances be used for anything even close to production)

Cases where it has been pitched to me where I see no increased value:

- BE team is too slow/lazy/defensive for new features (just have a GraphQL adapter and 1:1 map db entities to GraphQL entities -> please don't do that)

- having "typed" queries (you should just use typescript to strictly type your REST DTOs instead and optionally use a VM mapping)
One shouldn't read too much into that.

We're not just talking about BTC though, one exchange is offering over 7% APY on DAI. Stablecoins don't gain 100% per year, they lose to inflation.

Shouldn't crypto investors have a safe place to earn interest? "Don’t leave coins in exchanges" only solves the safety problem, it's not that simple. It's frustrating that we're seeing the same issues with security that we saw nearly a decade ago.

And this is also a very significant factor to resistance to the mandates - it's beyond obvious this whole issue is more political than scientific at this point.

Think I'm exaggerating? Good luck finding the actual "approved" vaccine. The only ones that I can find within three states of me are all the emergency use versions - so more games being played. Why would anyone be suspicious when stuff like this is still going on? Yet the suspicious people who would like more information are the irrational ones?
Good grief.

Here's a very rational question. This technology has been in development since the late 80's. If it is unquestionably safe, then why haven't any of these manufacturers completed formal FDA approval before now?
Because everyone here is hell bent on "spooky arcane oldhat sysadmin deploy techniques", I'll share my setup using k8s.

- CI on github actions

- Project management on post-its (short) and READMEs (long term)

- deployment is done by a github action trigger on the `main` branch

- Hosting is using AKS, GKE, or on-prem k3s on a raspberry pi. Want to restart a service ? just kill the pods.

- Devops took about 2 days of work initially and now shared by every project for less than 30 minutes by project.

- Deloying a test cluster (or a test k3s node) is reproducible on whatever hardware / cloud provider you get, sometimes I often create a full-blown dummy cluster for running test scenario

- Certificate renewal is automatic (cert-manager)

- DNS record creation to services/ingress is automatic (ExternalDNS)

- Authentication using OAuth/OIDC is also set up automatically on whatever identity provider you have

- Database backup is automatic

- Load Balancing is built-in

- Job scheduling is built-in (and -fuck- logs are much more accessible on a failed job container than in a custom cron + sh solution)

- Service discovery is not needed

- Monitoring and alerting is not, but cloud providers often have something for you

Note: this is highly effective because I already had significant K8s experience, so, if you're still learning about what Ingress-Controller to choose for your OIDC proxy, then don't go that route.
Just something that I started doing the last couple of years, searching for for ‘etymology of <insert word here>’ instead of definition. It usually leads to pretty interesting and informative results, particularly when a word selection feels strained.
Compressed or encrypted data should also look random.
I might be biased here, as I started as a side project and wanted to learn k8s in the process. It turned out quite funny to set up and I am happy with the result, except for the struggle I had to add SSL. I have 1 frontend, 4 micro-services and 2 postgres. One cluster for test, one for production.

I use Gitlab for CI, commits to master create a new docker image in the Gitlab registry. I manually trigger deployment on k8s with `kubectl rollout restart XXX`

I do not. The only things that stay in my brain are some common underlying principles.

It was like this in university and the academy of science when I was in physics. Now it is in the programming.

If I need to know particulars search is my help. I program very different things from firmware to desktop applications to enterprise backend servers in multiple languages. If I had to keep all those details in my brain it would explode. Usually it takes me a couple of days to warm up when I am starting work in the area that is not in my "hot cache" and then I am fine but the other stuff gets purged accordingly.

Wait, this is the first time I hear this about Azure. Could you elaborate?

>People have a right to be unvaccinated, and the rest of us have a right to protect ourselves from them.

If your vaccinated and have the protection, what's the real issue?

If you want to go down the whole "protection" rabbit hole - and ostensibly I'm going to assume you mean protection from exposure to the virus, then the vaccinated are far more of a problem. An unvaccinated person can not shed (spread) the virus unless they are symptomatic - ie. have a fever. Checking for a fever is trivial to do in a non-invasive way.

Vaccinated people can not only be carrying but shedding (spreading) the virus while showing zero symptoms. So the only way to tell if a vaccinated person is a potential super spreader is through testing - that is neither as quick or easy as just taking someone's fever.

An utter 180 from your position. If anyone is concerned about protection from exposure, you would be looking at protection from the vaccinated - not the unvaccinated!

So? It can run your code the way you tell it to run, but you still need to have your head on your shoulders and know what you're doing, right?

> How is it widely known?

It's quite literally covered at the start of AWS's intro to serverless courses. Unless someone started hammering code without spending a minute learning about the technology or doing any reading at all whatsoever on the topic, this is immediately clear to everyone.

Let's put it differently: have you actually looked into AWS's docs on typical lamba usecases, lambda's pricing and lambda quotas?
