The AWS Lambda Runtime API is pull based:

- GET events from ${AWS_LAMBDA_RUNTIME_API}/2018-06-01/runtime/invocation/next

- process it (run your handler)

- POST the response to /runtime/invocation/AwsRequestId/response

You should try Descript[1]. One of its features is automatic filer word removal. I'm not affiliated, just a happy user.

Not the founder, 15 years ago, I helped build a browser-based VoIP app. It ran as a Java applet in the browser with Asterisk on the backend and a special device from the mobile phone company that bridged VoIP to their network.

It was a time when mobile plans were still costly, so free calls over the internet sounded good. We got a hotel to implement our service, but it didn't get much use, we killed it a few months later.

Overall it was a few months of work, and I don't regret doing it, but looking back, it probably wasn't a great business model.

I've used https://structurizr.com for that purpose before. It allows you to define the elements (containers, users, etc.) separately from the diagrams and then pull them into various views of the system.

My workflow is something like this:

- define the elements at various zoom levels https://structurizr.com/share/1/explore/tree

- define the relations https://structurizr.com/share/1/explore/component-dependenci...

- create diagrams by selecting subsets of what was defined in the first two steps https://structurizr.com/share/36141/diagrams#SystemLandscape

I registered and here is my feedback after using it for 10 minutes:

- I find the interface awkward to use on a laptop(windows 10), scrolling on the touchpad zooms and the touchscreen does nothing, probably best with a mouse.

- Bulk operations actually make you go thought the items one by one. I would prefer it to be able to select a few items and set the same value for all of them(and delete or add dependency).

There is a lot of missing functionality that I expect from a paid app: markdown, checklists, attachments in the description, exports(both as an image and xls/doc with descriptions), real time collaboration, customization(modify status workflow, add custom fields), api/webhooks.

Overall I don't see myself using it.

KDE has a clipboard manager app, I think its called Klipper.

I never used it because I don't like having a history of my actions.

Its still the smoothest DE on my old Acer laptop from 2012. It never misses a frame and gets out of the way maximizing the space for the applications.

Out of the box its not very configurable, but install compiz settings manager and its very good.

You mean it wasn't in Ubuntu until now? I remember running it on Gentoo years ago. It was slow, but I was running on spinning disk with an AMD CPU.

I'm actually excited to try the new version.

I highly recommend the book "Software Estimation: Demystifying the Black Art". I work for an outsourcing company and part of my job is to come up with estimates and it helped me deal with clients and managers.

The book contains a quiz that we used as part of a training exercise with management and the results were hilarious. Here is an online copy: https://scrumandkanban.co.uk/how-accurate-are-your-estimates... please don't look at the answers, I guarantee you will have fun completing it.

For clients, my preferred approach is to show "The Cone of Uncertainty" and ask where they think they are. Since most people have no idea what they want to built I ask if its ok if my estimates are 4x off. That usually gets me a few weeks of peace while a team comes up with a product definition and we start all over again :)

I use my Pebble Time Steel every day and will continue to use it until it dies. I tried a few different smartwatches and, for me, nothing comes close to the battery life, always-on display and hardware buttons combo.

For my purposes, it is a productivity boost to have calendar, slack etc. notifications and be able to mute everything by holding a button.

For me, it was the way purchases and travel info were displayed.

Right before the shutdown I've booked a fight and hotel for a conference in June and it was showing as a big card in inbox. After the gmail switch there is nothing displayed, I have to go hunting for confirmation emails. So sad to see inbox go.

Thank you so much for this framework, especially the youtube videos where you rebuild a design using tailwind.

FYI I got a "Suspicious link" popup from google when I clicked verify my email address.

"Malicious emails often link to this site. Are you sure you want to proceed to go.sparkpostmail1.com?"

In Romania, a bank started issuing watches that function as contactless credit cards last year.

We are doing live video streaming, mostly Java and React.

Our backend is running on Kubernetes in Google Cloud. Streaming servers are hosted in AWS, but we are preparing to move to dedicated servers.

We also use Consul for service discovery and statistics for streaming servers.

Same setup for me. Two things to look out for with the EdgeRouter X:

1, IPv6 is not trivial to setup. In my case I struggled to find documentation on configuring it on a PPoE connection.

2, It can't reach 1 GB/s on WAN.

Windows Defender detects it as Win32/Lineage password stealer :(
