"SnapStart for Python" costs extra though. If we are paying then you can even have prewarmed Python lambdas with no cold start on AWS (Provisioned Concurrency).

Unless I misunderstand, AWS SnapStart and their memory snapshots are the same feature (taking memory snapshots to speed up cold start). It doesn't seem a fair comparison to ignore this and my assumption is because AWS Lambda SnapStart is faster.

That works a lot better in Europe because realistically it's a lot smaller. America is absolutely gigantic
Yacoby · 5 months ago
I'm not sure I understand your point. Just because the country is large doesn't necessarily mean that you need larger fire trucks?

(Or that America needs a one size fits all approach to fire trucks - things that work well in cities may not work well in rural areas)

Yacoby commented on The Microservices Fallacy   ufried.com/blog/microserv... · Posted by u/kiyanwang
Yacoby · a year ago
The main reasons for micro services (that I didn't see covered) is that it reduces cross team overhead. 10 people working on a service is fine, 100 people working on a service requires processes which slow development down (as no one can keep what is changing in their head)

>what could be more pleasant than being able to criss-cross Europe in night trains that are affordable, comfortable and sustainable?

Doing it by plane at a fraction of the time and cost.

Yacoby · 2 years ago
The interesting thing is that it that night trains can be quicker if you consider the waking. e.g. Zurich to Berlin - the train leaves at 8pm and gets in at 7am. So it is 2-3 waking hours spent.

(Does of course depend on how well you sleep on trains)

Yacoby commented on Lychee – Self-hosted photo-management done right   lycheeorg.github.io/... · Posted by u/shrx
colordrops · 3 years ago
Been putting together a spreadsheet of self-hosted file apps and trying them out. Still haven't found something that meets all my requirements. Does anything exist with:

* Automatic album generation based on detection of an "event", e.g. a cluster of photos taken together around the same time, organizing them in a folder, even better using an optional album title, e.g. 2022-06-24 - Picnic at the Park

* Modern UX

* Mobile support

* If no sync support, at least the detection of new files in a folder, say from syncthing

These are the core features IMHO, and everything else is icing. I'm basically looking for something that can replace Google Photos in a reasonable way.

Immich (https://www.immich.app/) is still under heavy development, but looks like it will hit most of those requirements (but not automatic album generation).
Yacoby commented on Garmin Reacts to Apple Watch Ultra: We Measure Battery Life in Months. Not Hours   macrumors.com/2022/09/09/... · Posted by u/Brajeshwar

I came here to say this exactly. It was so short-sighted, and that attitude killed the company.
Yacoby · 3 years ago
4 out of the 5 people I know with Garmin watches need the battery life while tracking to exceed 8 hours (this watch lasts 1 hour).

I doubt any of them are going to see this and swap their Garmin for an Apple watch.

I think the Apple watch and Garmin are aimed at very different markets and with current technology Apple can't provide what Garmin does without compromising their design.

Yes. Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom (which is also a country).
Yacoby commented on Spain will introduce free train travel   bloomberg.com/news/articl... · Posted by u/donohoe
Bostonian · 3 years ago
Train travel may consume less energy than car travel, but it is still energy intensive, so I doubt this makes sense if reducing CO2 emissions is the goal.
Yacoby · 3 years ago
The goal is to help with the cost of living issues (in part caused by high gas costs) and I think reducing CO2 is secondary.

Additionally I suspect trains (at least electric ones) have far less C02 emissions than cars. I'm not sure how electrified Spains rail is.

Yacoby commented on The Serde Rust Framework   serde.rs/... · Posted by u/ur-whale
Jweb_Guru · 4 years ago
I wrote a lot of Java back in the day. I elaborated on why I disagree in the other comment. I do not know if the situation in C# is similar.
Yacoby · 4 years ago
For context, the example from the Serde wiki written in Java using Jackson

  public record Point(int x, int y) {}

  // [...]

  var objectMapper = new ObjectMapper();
  var jsonString = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(new Point(2,1));
It isn't obvious to me what advantage Serde offers that you couldn't get with Jackson or other similar libraries in Java (although I get that Java and Rust are different languages, and that there may not be something this ergonomic in the likes of C++)
