#10225. How to deploy a docker based lambda function to compile latex on fly. Currently it compiles tufte class pretty well.
I did the very same thing 2 weeks ago! Out of curiosity, were you using the lambci image as a starting point?

#10331. I just learned how to make soap in Dwarf Fortress.
32 (and just learned about Competitive Analysis) but I wanted to say that learning how to make stuff in Dwarf Fortress is always rewarding in a very deep sense. I have no idea why, but every new mechanic mastered seems to multiply the possibilities of fun (and dwarf fortress 'fun' also)

#106Not to get emotionally involved with a product that could be turned off at any time. And that just because a business is more popular and better technically than it's competitors doesn't mean it doesn't have problems behind the scenes. And on a related note, if you don't have something downloaded to your own hard drive, you don't really own it.

#10718. I've been learning a lot about Drupal recently, and it's been really eye opening in terms of what PHP can actually do. I haven't taken a serious look at it in years and frankly writing tests in it has been really odd.

#10853. I'm learning to play the banjo and solve Rubik's cube. (I can solve it, but still need a cheat-sheet.)
I learned to juggle at 50. My plan is to try to stave off mental decline by learning new stuff.

#10924. Why nuclear weapons produce a double flash. I'd read that was a signature of a nuclear detonation (Clancy novels, sue me) but not why. Turns out it's because the shock wave is hot enough in the early stages of the explosion to become opaque, blocking light from escaping. As it expands, the shock wave cools and becomes transparent again, letting the light from the fireball inside escape.
