I have the opposite frustration here, where I queue up some music videos on my TV and inevitably after 1-2 songs, I'm staring at static album covers when I know there's an awesome music video that should be playing instead

You should look into multistage docker builds, that lets you still use a full fat image for your build but then leave all the build tools out of your final image
I liked jpetazzo's post on the subject but there are plenty to choose from https://www.ardanlabs.com/blog/2020/02/docker-images-part1-r...

Plugging my old student project for GraphViz reference/examples: https://graphs.grevian.org/
I wouldn't mind changing it to use a js renderer, currently it's using the (deprecated!) Google image api but I hadn't really found anything as complete/safe/reliable to replace it

A while ago it was suggested to me to mentally translate "accident" to "collision" in context of cars hitting cyclists. Most collisions with cyclists are easily avoidable, and caused by negligence, impatience or ignorance.
Treating collisions as unavoidable, unintentional mistakes relieves drivers of a lot of the inherent responsibility of controlling a vehicle. Watch the road. Respect other users of the road. Be patient, safe, and focused.

Riot accounts are tied to different geographical regions, so I would expect the service doesn't have to span across them, http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Servers

I've wanted something like this for years! A great real world example of a data structure that really made an impression on me during my computer science education, connecting theory to implementation

I think Google has shown they're trying very hard to become a primary infrastructure host for any business in "The Cloud", getting more people online opens up new opportunities there too

I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned yet, but at I/O during his Q&A Larry Page talked a fair bit about how he wants to see manufacturing get more streamlined, Maybe this could be related?
> Smartphones, Page said, are “relatively expensive,” with the raw material costs — glass and silicon — is “probably like $1, or something like that. I think glass is 50 cents a pound. Phones don’t weigh very much. So I think when I see people in industry making things, I ask this question, how far are you off the raw materials costs. So as an engineer, trying to go to first principles, what is the real issue? What’s the real issue around our power grids, or around manufacturing? I think a lot of people don’t ask those questions, and because of that, we don’t make the progress we need to. If you’re going to make a smartphone for a dollar, that’s almost impossible to do. But if you took a fifty-year view, you’d probably make the investments you need to, and you’d probably even figure out how to make money. So, I encourage non-incremental thinking.”

Really? As a Canadian who crosses that border fairly regularly, the iris & fingerprint records are only for the "Enhanced Drivers License" as far as I knew, I've crossed the border dozens of times with just my passport

If some requests are taking 30s to service, front ends will be spinning up very often because during those 30s, other requests will be queueing up

I've always found that knowing the deficiencies of a language is the best way to know the language. Anything that works well should be pretty intuitive and comfortable, but knowing exactly where the trouble spots of a language are let you be aware when you approach them, and know how to handle them.
