Well, the West (TM) has a ton of freedoms and wealth. It does nor have the moral hogh ground when it comes to international affairs, there we follow money over democratic values more often then not.

My problem with podcast ads is how repetitive they are. I'm at a point where I hate squarespace so much because nearly every podcast I listen to is sponsored by them. Same goes for Simplisafe and ZipRecruiter. It's extremely tiring and I would consider this app for automating skipping of ads because of this reason.
Alongside the excellent recommendations for GoRails in the other comments, also look into the host's other Rails projects: Jumpstart Pro [0] as a template and Hatchbox for easy deployment. This corner of the Rails ecosystem is really nice, positive, and easy.
> Artists who work on gory cinematics integral to games like Mortal Kombat suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
Is it really someone else's fault if someone chooses to work on a game like Mortal Kombat and then complains about having to create graphics like this?
Can we please introduce some agency into people's lives and stop constantly blaming society for issues?

We've tried this and it helps somewhat but when AWS attempts to scale your function based on load, cold starts re-appear. We've moved away from Lambdas where a dependable response time is required.
If you are experiencing cold starts it means that function is not used very often. If it's not used very often that likely means it's not user facing (or something less important like a Terms of Service page). If that's the case, why do you need instant response times?
No, that's not what it means. If you have high concurrent execution, you get 'cold start' every time the underlying service 'scales out' to support more.
The MORE you use lambda concurrently, the more you hit the cold start issue.
Granted, it's just for that one cold start execution per-scale node (and they could probably just optionally pre-fire to warm things in that instance, like with a cache), but it's definitely there horizontally.
I really with they would add an init() callback that is called on cold start but before any traffic is sent to your lambda. It wouldn't help when there are no lambdas running but it could be useful when things are scaling up, especially if you can ask for additional concurrency above the actual concurrency necessary for spikes.
I don't think so. When it spins it up, the request is already in flight. Otherwise this would have been solved by everyone but instead everyone sees terrible cold start times.
This is along the lines of what the other responses to this comment have said, but https://hackernoon.com/im-afraid-you-re-thinking-about-aws-l... gives a very detailed overview. It's titled "I'm afraid you’re thinking about AWS Lambda cold starts all wrong", because the way you're thinking about cold start times is common (and wrong).
that’s not entirely true. while your warm lambdas can and will take the traffic it your traffic ramps up, additional lambda instances will be spun up. you will pay cold start prices as they are spinning up. so, even if you have a heavily used lambda fn, depending on the traffic your p99 will still look pretty bad and you will not be able to guarantee that all requests will be processes in x ms or less.
The overwhelming majority of migration into Europe is not due to any war or terror. It is economic migration primarily from sub-Saharan Africa which is why you comparatively see so few women and children among the migrants.
Crazy how many "sub-Saharan Africans" take the scenic route via the Middle East and Turkey/Greece - it's almost as if they are middle Easterners fleeing war and terror.

Wrong[1]
> you comparatively see so few women and children among the migrants.
Wrong, again - there are many women [2] [3] and children [4] [5] [6] migrants, even though it's traveling long distances on foot is risky and more suited to healthy (young) adults.
All of them except the UK, Poland, Estonia, and Greece. The ones that face credible threats are Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and to a lesser extent Norway. The Netherlands believes they are fighting a cyber war with Russia. Trump is correct when he says that the US is subsidizing European defense. The US does benefit from this but not in a direct monetary sense.
