That can be true if you are using tightly coupled event sources (like s3, SNS, etc) where you need to inspect the incoming object. If you are doing a HTTP / REST API, try to decouple the code as much as possible from the API Gateway invocation by using ExpressJS / aws-serverless-express to aid in local testing and debugging. Then testing and debugging locally becomes much easier.

Problem is, meat won't take on any smoke ring after a certain temperature (170 degrees)[1]. Thus you won't get that beautiful authentic smoked meat ring if you precook without smoke. To some, you may as well cook it in the microwave if it ain't got a smoke ring.

I have a cluster of raspberry Pis setup next to my SmartThings hub. I upgraded storage to use external SSDs via USB 3.0 cables. After that, all my ZigBee devices dropped communication with my hub. After some troubleshooting, I just moved my hub to a different room.

Docker Swarm usage here in production. Mainly a regulatory and compliance constraint, but it is relatively simple compared to other container orchestration platforms.

This was a hilarious clip. Brought me back to 15 years ago, messing around with people on Ventrilo while playing World of Warcraft. Many, many lost nights and days playing that addictive game. Comic relief thru Ventrilo harassment was necessary...

Reading thru the thread, it appears the browser they are referring to may be Cutebrowser.

Docker most definitely has ARM and multi-architecture support. That is, assuming the particular image you are attempting to pull has been published using the Manifest V2 spec and has ARM images published. The issue you mention is an issue with the image publisher/maintainer not Docker itself.
I maintain a number of Docker images that have multiarch support (as seen in the Tags view on DockerHub:

This. Docker Swarm, and by extension Docker EE / UCP, is barely in maintenance mode. Go compare the Moby and docker projects on GitHub vs kubernetes.
To be clear, I use Docker Swarm in my home cluster due to simplicity and ease of use. Unfortunately that pattern hasn't scaled to the Enterprise.

I have over a dozen in wall GE z-wave switches and dimmers in my home. They have been working great for years.

This isn't an accurate statement. I work on behalf of a federal government agency, and no one has write access in development, let alone production. Everything is required to run thru our ci/cd pipeline. Times are changing.

Here in the entire state of Ohio, literally every dine in restaurant and/or bar operation has been shut down. Only take out / delivery is allowed: https://governor.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/governor/media/news...
I believe other states / municipalities have started to follow suit, but entire state shutdown has been surreal.

I was doing "devops" for Scottrade's order management system during the exact same time as the Knight implosion. If I remember correctly, the Facebook IPO was a larger mess we had to mop up for our client base...ahh the memories...glad to be out of consumer / retail finance these days.

As an architect, I am currently working on our org's first cloud deployment initiative. Due to federal compliance / regulations, we have no write access in higher / production boundaries, and everything is automated via deployment jobs, IaC, etc. Given the experience of the teams involved, I took the opportunity (burden) of writing nearly all the automation. If your architects can't handle shooting sick cattle in prod, I'd say get new architects.

I haven't written a blog, but I do have a 5 node RaspberryPi cluster running Docker Swarm. The docker stacks and compose files are on GitHub https://github.com/jmb12686/raspi-docker-stacks
Look at the 'gluster' branch for my current active work on clustered persistent storage using SSDs and docker volume plugins.
I have setup quite a few GitHub projects for building / publishing multiarchitecture ARM compatible images of open source projects (Elasticsearch, Kibana, CAdvisor, etc). Check them out if interested in running common tools on RaspberryPis.

My wife (33 years old) was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes last month. A healthy, under 120 lbs 5 foot 4 woman, who busts her ass for our young children, now has to learn how to keep her blood sugar in check with 4 shots and 6+ finger stick tests per day. Worst of all, accidentally taking too much insulin, or not accounting for unknown variables such as stress, illness, exact carb count of meals, snacks, and exercise, can and will kill you quickly.
I'm disgusted with the current technological advances (aka lack of them) in the diabetes space. The limited tech out there to support an "artificial pancreas" was initiated by a community of hackers [1], and is only supported by a handful of outdated insulin pumps. The manufacturer (medcom) has since "fixed" the vulnerability that allowed outside control inputs. There are a couple decent continuous glucose monitors out now, one by Abbot la s, another by Dexcom, but this only solves half the equation. A true closed loop system feeds continuous glucose monitor readings straight into an insulin pump to administer, algorithmically, microdoses of insulin. This completely eliminates the risk of hypoglycemia and effectively forms an artificial pancreas.
The only reason I fear this kind of tech isn't readily available for all type 1 diabetics is sadly, what's the profit motive to big pharma? They are making a killing off of crap solutions currently available. Trust me, you'd think decades old insulin and glucose meter supplies are affordable by now. These low tech items cost 1000s a month (insurance paid portion).
