There's a few. My company has been using serverless aurora pretty much since preview and will keep doing so for some parts of infra, but are moving some services back to provisioned. - Data is replicated cross region,…
I thought WireGuard was not yet ready for primetime, why is it being used here? I've been wanting to stand up a VPN at work to make my life easier than SSH tunneling but I was waiting for a 1.0 release of WG.
Super neat! One note that I found odd: km/L is a weird way to talk about fuel efficiency for metric. Everywhere that I've seen typically uses L/100km rather than just doing a MPG equivalent conversion.
Their conference is on as we speak so, the former?
King street restaurants have high turnover anyways - most of them have not been open that long to begin with. The area has a lot of competition so you really can't get away with being mediocre for very long. Lots of…
Yes, cost of living in Montreal is nowhere near what it is in Vancouver or Toronto
I'm at $90k with ~3 years experience (located in Toronto). Many of my colleagues are either at 90 or very close (~85) with similar experience. I've lived in Vancouver as well and have seen similar compensation.
Have you read their security white paper[1]? As much as I tend to freak out about cloud storage of password data (one reason I moved off of lastpass), they do seem to take fairly strong steps to host-proof the data…
How are you determining this without sniffing everyone's traffic? How do you know if someone typed youtube.com into their browser window or clicked a link from an email without access to things like referral headers?
Visa provides protection from a lot of risk on both the buyer and seller's side. As a seller I know that if a Visa payment clears I'll be getting that money, even if the customer doesn't have it. I don't need to arrange…
Google and Go-Daddy also have a constitutional right not to associate or do business with the alt-right (or really, anyone else they disagree with). You are protected from the government restricting your speech, no one…
First Nations in Western Canada would deliberately set fire to areas. There is a very old tradition of having "fire keepers" who were responsible for burning areas and ensuring that it was done safely. Traditional…
If you're in Canada report them for violating CASL - it's a cool $10k fine per infraction, I'd imagine they'll add an unsubscribe link right quick.
> And the companies that do well and grow: they just move to the valley, because they generally can, and they have every reason to. Slack is a perfect example of this. They still have a small office down the street from…
I've definitely had Google Now show me things to do when traveling. Usually it gives me lists of museums, places to eat, etc. I can't recall if it's ever done that without a plane ticket or airbnb/hotel reservation…
The new BMW M5 is also closer to the size of a 7 series from 30 years ago. Additionally, even with AWD being added it's 200lbs lighter than the last gen was. Cars are certainly heavier on the whole than they used to be,…
Collate looks amazing! I've been looking for exactly this, and since I use Linux rather than OS X quiver was out. Trying it out now and I'll almost definitely be purchasing. Edit: Where can I file bug reports? :)
I don't know that it would be difficult to reproduce the test that is mentioned in the paper linked below, but they do mention the following anyways for EC2: > A single account was never seen to have two instances…
This rant [1] on the PSD format has to be my favourite: // At this point, I'd like to take a moment to speak to you about the Adobe PSD format. // PSD is not a good format. PSD is not even a bad format. Calling it such…
It could perhaps be a) put to other uses or b) no longer grown in such large quantities and replaced by some other less harmful plan (speaking about corn in particular which is heavily subsidized and terrible for the…
I've noted a marked decline in North Face quality compared to even 5 years ago (Steep Series notwithstanding). It's a shame, they used to be one of my go-to brands when I wanted to spend a bit more but get solid gear.…
Certainly not. A modern DCT or even a regular torque converter (such as the ubiquitous ZF 8-Speed) will be faster to 60 than a manual with even the best driver by several tenths.
I hadn't considered that (this is really out of my depth). Any ideas on what the actual size of a trained model would be to distribute? Taking 150G on the user's hard drive is out as well, probably.
Very cool. I've been toying with the idea of using something like this or perhaps the cloud vision API to automatically generate image captions for screen readers (e.g. through a browser extension) but the cost to run…
