^ this. The AWS v4 signing method is a spec for how to do HMAC request signing. It is not limited to use only with AWS services. You can use it to sign requests on any service, and…

This is article is a pedantic waste of time. Tapping out SOS is a thing… https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-civilian-worker-w...

This is cool, and I applaud the author’s effort. For certain projects this is likely the right way to go. However, another way to solve this which is safe to use when testing packa…

It depends what you’re optimizing for. One of the beautiful things about a static site is it’s ability to be served by object stores like S3 as your origin, and cached by a CDN. Fr…

Someone wants to lower their cdn bill, so they serve static things on cdn, and dynamic things from origin.

Common mistake. Good vibrations did not actually use a theremin. It was a ribbon controller type instrument that was designed to mimic the sound. Theremins are hard. https://en.m.w…

It’s a static site, so perhaps S3 (or any static cloud storage origin) and any CDN are a better comparison. What is the total power consumption of 1/nth of a large pool of cloud re…

This is a migration problem. A network of only self driving cars is effectively a more complex train without tracks. This does not require an AI, just a very reliable and coordinat…

Ahhh... Found it... The project has it's own Kernel. I stand corrected. This is super cool. https://github.com/ApolloAuto/apollo-kernel

Hmmm, thanks for the additional info. Still seems like a bad idea. Based on your assertion, what happens when the RTOS/microcontroller does not receive a "decision" before the sche…

Maybe I'm missing something, is this is a platform strictly for developing ML techniques? Or is it intended to actual run in a vehicle... on ubuntu, in a docker container? I'm no e…

Naming the return value in the function signature will both allocate the named variable, as well as make it the default variable to return. Returning a new unnamed variable for eve…

Thank you for mentioning adrenaclick. Generics have been completely missing from the public debate. While epipen price gouging is very real, and a problem, there is one short term …

One of the big advantages of microservices is scaling/migrating the databases behind each service independently. If you need transactions across multiple services then one could ar…

Not that odd if you are trying to represent a chunk of a file with a single url, which would be desirable if you were serving video manifest/playlist files like m3u8 (HLS) or f4m (…
