Mediatation.

I’ve been meditating daily using the app Headspace for the past 3 months and have seen improvements in my focus and a reduction in anxiety.

My mind would previously wonder off in meetings and I would miss a lot of the discussion, but with meditation I’ve noticed that I’m alot more focused and my mind doesn’t wander off as much.

I’ve also felt alot happier and less anxious, as meditation has allowed me to notice my thoughts and feelings and let go of those that are negative.

Microservices benefits large teams. There’s just too much operational overhead for a small team to manage microservices. Large teams with monolith applications benefit from microservices as the communication issue of large teams is reduced by splitting the team into cross functional teams.

Agreed. Help your manager succeed and they in turn will help you.

Has anyone tried dual n back? Has it improved your cognitive function?

Those using AWS ALB, how do you monitor your traffic in realtime? I want to aggregate host names, ip addresses, user agents in realtime.

I'm new to ML and currently looking at building a recommender system using KNN on a site based on what users have read. I'm struggling to select the optimum feature set. Should I use the article ids or tags as the features? Also, how do I go about the high dimensionality curse with potentially thousands of articles or tags?

Highly recommend these books too and also about to read Fathering Your Toddler by the same author.

Wasn’t Dodgecoin created to be an indicator of how much of a bubble the market is?

Possibly intentional market manipulation? They are in the top 200 most visited sites in the world and supply api data to hundreds if not thousands of cryptocurrency price apps. Surely they knew their change would impact the market.

With GDPR do we need to get consent from users before we can set any cookies?

Check your cloudfront and data transfer usage. We had bingbot overcrawling a number of our urls resulting in high cloudfront costs.

Yes! Especially the new ios 11 podcast app. I use it regularly and the lag is getting extremely frustrating!

In Australia there’s an online ordering platform called MenuLog who also charge a commission. I’m not sure if Grubhub or Seamless do this, but MenuLog will also purchase a domain and set up a cookie cutter site for all restaurants that sign up. They will also push this site high up in Google search results with SEO, which sounds great, but all loyal customers who are searching for the restaurant end up on this site, which links to their online ordering platform. So restaurants end up paying a commission for orders from loyal customers who would have gone straight to the restaurant. We’ve also seen phone numbers purposely omitted in these cookie cutter sites as they can’t earn a commission from phone orders.

Currently have a junior dev on the team that asks way too many questions, most that can be easily googled. How do we push him in the right direction to become more independant.

Having developed native android and ios apps in the past the greatest benefit i saw immediately using react native was the use of flexbox for layouts, it's so much simpler compared to ios' autolayout and android's xml layout.

Crypto compare api cannot be used for commercial use. Are there any similar apis out there that are free and available for commercial use?

That's correct. If you had one btc before the fork, you now have one btc and one bch.

I wonder what implications this has to the global economy. If we continue to fork will there be a global hyperinflation?

One thing that really annoys me is embeded gists don't render in medium's mobile app.

Thanks, the ECS resources look very handy, will check them out!

Has anyone used Zappa in production? What has your experience been like?

What's the difference between fly.io and any other CDN? Can it serve dynamic encrypted data from the backend to the edge faster?

Are you still using Django, Rails, or Flask to provide API end points to your front end? If not, what do you use?

Even with TLS 1.3 the fastest handshake for an initial connection is one round trip. That's around 250ms for someone connecting to a server in New York from Sydney Australia. Is there any other way to reduce this handshake time for visitors located geographically far from the server with end to end encryption?

Celluar connection download limits have increased over the years allowing developers to increase their app size without requiring users to download their apps on a wifi connection.

React native radio. Currently trying to build an app in React Native.

Anyone have experience with AWS ECS and Kubernetes? How do they compare?

> We keep feeling like we are getting close, but then we run into another issue. It's like a rabbit hole that has no bottom.

That's exactly what we experienced migrating a bunch of sites to https. There were so many things that we didn't anticipate.

Django. A great web framework with great third party libraries such as Django Rest Framework, which will help you to quickly get your app up and running.

Are there any browsers that support TLS 1.3 yet?

It will be interesting to see if they block ads that are served through Doubleclick for Publishers, a Google owned ad server.

Publishers that use DFP will be paying Google to serve ads that will ultimately be blocked by a Google owned browser.
