Do they just stop billing you for `await` time & keep the lambdas warm?

This looks awesome! So, rather than proxying requests from some server, I can use their dynamic ip product to just auto-update the DNS entry for my home computers whenever my ISP c…

I want to run web-servers from home, with public DNS, but I'm worried that my IP address will change. I'm willing to pay in the range of $100 / month for some sort of proxy, and I …

> This is a lot like the programmer tendency to want to re-write instead of refactor because to understand a system is way harder than to set out on a quest to build a new one. And…

I think the Helium project is a fascinating experiment, and I’ve had a lot of fun participating in it. I’ve been tracking my experience for a while (with pictures): [0] It’s certai…

I think it’s a pretty great idea for people to “have kids, raise them right.” I’m bullish on that strategy, even if there is no contractual guarantee that those kids will return th…

Credit: I first saw this on Twitter [0]. It seems like a great way to make some of the industry-standard info more approachable to newcomers. I spend a lot of time explaining to pe…

I quit my startup & picked up a boring, stable job to be a better dad a couple years ago, so I feel this too. If the article said it’s only hard for moms, then I’d disagree with it…

This is the first time I’ve ever heard anyone suggest this was a coincidence. You might actually be correct — I personally doubt it, but it’s a funny thought... to think that we al…

> Our device has 4G, Wifi and LoRa for comms... How many of the sites are in range of a LoRa network? I rarely hear of LoRa the US, although it seems like a great fit for many IoT …

I got a Computer Engineering degree from Mississippi State University, and I was able to take a 1-hour class on writing iOS apps. However, it was taught by the business school, and…

I loved reading serverless-stack a couple of years ago; it was really helpful & convinced me to use serverless for a side-project that’s still going (with almost no expenses!). I’m…

There’s a Typescript joke in here about treating the author as an “any” and not realizing that it was actually a Gary Berndhart.

Thank you so much for this comment. I can’t believe I didn’t know this, I’ve been inverting my colors & sometimes wearing cheap, non-polarized sunglasses at night — no more! I had …

It wasn’t covered by insurance, but the Freestyle Libre CGM was $37 at CVS & lasts for 2 weeks. The major cost factor (for most people) is getting a doctor to write you an Rx. Leve…

I have a friend who is a doctor. He was using it himself & offered to write me an Rx. I’m now doing it a second time, using the levels health app [0]. If you can make it to the fro…

I’m not diabetic, but I’m using a CGM for a few weeks, out of curiosity. My only surprising finding was that diet sodas don’t spike my glucose, but they do crash it, probably becau…
