Ed: “If you can’t get the work done, then the past two years are basically worth nothing … There were at least five times, a good five times, where I totally broke down and I just didn’t want to do it anymore … I was actually really worried that either Tommy or I would die in the process of making this.”
I absolutely loved the Last Dance but I really like basketball. I wouldn’t recommend it to non-fans of basketball though (basing this off a small sample size of friends).
FWIW, I was absolutely captivated for all of Last Dance, and I don't watch basketball. But I do have an affinity for "30 for 30"-style docs on the human interest side of sports.
I’m not into sports and I don’t follow basketball. I couldn’t tell you beyond really famous basketball players who the majority of players are. And although I grew up in Jordan’s era of basketball, I didn’t watch his games. All that to say, I enjoyed it.
If you like something, recommending it is fine. Let the people decide if it’s a topic they’re interested in it or not.
+1 for Icarus. Until just a few years ago, cycling was up to its eyeballs and doping. Wasn’t just one American, one Italian, or one German. It was nearly everyone.
> If one million people came together to put solar panels on roofs - that would be cool!
That would be “cool” and actually great. The problem is that people who cannot get through the month because the bills have skyrocketed, cannot afford the upfront price of installing solar panels. So unless there’s government intervention, I don’t really think this would be feasible.
They cannot get through the month, but they have time to start a fight with the legal system by withholinding their due payments and then deal with whatever trouble comes from it?
What?! Following this logic then, the bread riots in the French Revolution[0] would not have happened because “they don’t have the money but they have time to start riots to demand a cap on the price of the good”?
By the way, I’m not commenting on whether this is the right approach to the issue, just commenting the current situation considering what’s happening now.
Dumb question. How is keeping a lambda warm different than just running a VM? Does the warm lambda instance respond quickly, and when it starts getting saturated, then additional Lambdas come online via a cold start process?
But what devoutsalsa said is true, you will still get a cold start when a request comes in while the already "warm" lambda is processing another request. This is one of the gotchas that not everyone seem to understand about these cloud functions. Sure, you'll scale quite horizontally, but just one executor at the time. If you have a long cold start, this can significantly increase latency. Some providers let you pay for concurrency, so that you can scale out more quickly.
What runtime are you using? A custom runtime can get cold start times in milliseconds, as long as you're not loading a large language runtime or a container. Try a custom runtime that has only a single statically linked binary in it and nothing else.
Yeah, from my EU IP address I could not visit the site, with US-provided IP from my VPN I could. I don’t understand why they would geofence it honestly but that’s how it is.
They probably got DDoS like usage patterns from badly behaved scrapers around the world. Geo fencing is the easiest solution while still keeping data public domestically.
It's easy to blame them, but if you provide any data on the web, the load you get from scrapers is insane.
