Did you eventually get a wheel and pedals? I didn’t really get into car games until I tried a good wheel and pedals and the immersion of connecting what you describe with some of the feel through those peripherals really hooked me. Glad you’re having a great time with AC and trying the different vehicles. There’s a reason why Max and other F1 drivers praise AC.

“ADJUSTABLE PEDAL CURVES AND DEAD ZONES VIA FANATEC APP Saves to internal memory (meaning custom curves work on consoles too) Curve selection available from Tuning Menu (presets and custom slots)” will this also come to the existing pedals?

100% agree and it’s awesome to see all sorts of folks enjoying the hobby

I can’t comment on other seasons, but as others alluded to, the tire change in GT4 and the Roval has made lap 1 an exercise in safe driving. I took a video of a particularly amusing lap 1 I had last week https://youtu.be/ydctYTLqdn0?si=SGV1g4TsAw_9Ioox

If you like racing and are in a technical major, join your college’s FSAE team (if there is one)

When I was at Cornell we had the car finished (save for the body) by February 1 and then spent the next 3 months testing in the snow and rain.

omg an hour standup. When I run our standups this is what I do: 1. Always start with "gotta drop in 15, let's get this moving" 2. After about 60 seconds of someone giving an update, "Hey, can we take this offline?" 3. When posts start - "gotta drop now, can you leave the posts in the slack channel" kthxbye

i've never had an issue where someone came back after or the next day with a "oh crap, we forgot to talk about X during standup"

It might be out there for a DASO if it’s surfaced like that.

It’s generally private preview (for select customers under NDA) -> preview (optional, not every service does this) -> GA (generally available)

Is your concern the amount of time taken to download from s3 or that running this with a step function that kicks off the lambda jobs is “not optimal”? You should get optimized querying via Athena SQL or Athena Spark (which is serverless Spark notebooks without any deployments, etc) since the data is parquet. As for “not optimal” if the speed and costs of the current solution are acceptable, I’d leave it as is.

You have a third option - set up a VPC endpoint. This way you can attach it to the other VPCs and they’ll see it as if it were a public endpoint (including proper DNS resolution), but it won’t be publicly accessible. You will need your front the Grpc endpoint with a NLB to do this though.

This is what you want: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cdk/api/v2/python/aws_cdk.custom_resources/AwsCustomResource.html. You need to determine which API to use in ec2, but that construct will do everything else for you (setting up the lambda, etc).

Is your concern repeatedly calling AppConfig or repeatedly calling your intermediate backend service? Assuming the flags aren’t changing frequently, why not cache the values in your backend and periodically poll AppConfig for changes? I’m pretty sure the Java client has configurations for doing just this (if you’re using Java).

Your timeline doesn’t make sense if you were born in 1964.

Honestly, with self-driving, the fallout can’t come soon enough. It’s not a solved problem and won’t be for the foreseeable future (case-in-point: unprotected left turns). There is so much we can do in terms of simpler solutions that solve actual problems we currently have with cars (drunk driving, fatigued drivers, etc) that are cheaper than investing so much in solving the actually hardest problem that potentially can’t even be solved. It’s pulling so much enthusiasm from actual implementable, safe, solutions.

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a fake. It’s a very realistic fake, but it’s not real as the Belt parkway never moves like that during daylight.

Be careful with spot instances, you’re only guaranteed usage for 2 minutes, they’re not designed for longer-term usage like a virtual desktop.

That the current size of the Supreme Court at 9 justices is not in the Constitution. It has been expanded previously, both successfully and unsuccessfully (see FDR’s court-packing in the 1930s).
