    Provisioned concurreny does decrease cold starts. Reserved concurrency both guarantees a portion of your concurrency limit be allocated to a lambda as well as capping concurrency o…

    Yup. In the UK the benefits of owning are clear, but the entrance requirements can be very high.

    Hi, thanks for replying. I'll send you a message on Monday when I get back to work to recreate it.

    I'd agree with them that the portal is terrible. Multiple times a day I get blank page errors, where the page is completely blank except for a single non-sensical error message in …

    OK but how does Terraform know you are renaming a resource? It is not a daemon always running and watching everything you type. It only gets a snapshot of your code to work from wh…

    terraform state mv [old name] [new name] I'd much rather explicitly state when real resources are renamed than have terraform diffing my code and guessing whether I wanted to renam…

    Here in the UK lots of people have garages but I'd actually guess its more common to use them for storage than to keep a car in. Everyone I know who has an electric car keeps it on…

    At a guess they are probably saying that a human when looking at a picture of a palm would not be able to tell you who it is, unlike a picture of someone that includes their face o…

    You can also shift right click the background of an explorer window to open a terminal session (powershell or cmd depending on the release I think). If you need a administrator pro…

    A combination of sign 3, 8 and 12 can be awful. The features that are shipped are half-baked, teams always say that they will come back and refactor it but of course never do. Deve…

    I know nothing about forest fires or the Yukon but could that just be that other fires aren't noticed because they aren't near population centers?

    Why not? It is pretty simple and very fun! My first project in golang was a program that polled for the machine's IP address and updated a AWS Route53 record.
