I agree! Enjoying it alot and by the way, I came in after having done Andrew Ng course a year ago. This podcast had revived my interest in ML! Not sure if you had mentioned fast.ai. I'm going through their course right now and find it super valuable. But it isn't as well organized as how I'd like it to be.

Re: How to return a custom error object and status code from API Gateway with Lambda

ronaldwidha — Tue, 28 Jun 2016 22:49:35 -0000

The only issue with the approach is when you have a status code that requires additional parameter (301 and 302).

The following approach works, but I had to take a long shower after I wrote it :)

The API Gateway status codes are triggered by ErrorMessage. So I'd use it for the error code. Then I'd pass the error body or in the case of 302, the location, in the errorType.

{ errorType: “Sorry can’t find the resource”, errorMessage: “404” }

I know, It's a little odd to read. But this way I can then map the response.header.location to errorType without any processing (header mapping don't support VTL) and still have full control for the other status codes.

See it working here: https://github.com/ronaldwi... (click on the demo/test-harness/302 redirect)

Thanks for all the posts Ken!

Guys, this is a super great episode. Juval is great as usual.
Karl, I love the fact that you dug in deeper otherwise we might not get some of those interesting side topic around actors. However, you owe Richard one! If he hadn't brought back the question - so what about that protocol, you would've gotten alot of angry emails! I have to re-listen this second half of the episode again for being too worked up about it :)

Re: Do's and Dont's When Deploying Akka in Production

Hi Michael, stumbled across this post as I was researching if one could decouple the client actor from its server actor, to enable independent deployment among them. You pointed out that as long as one don't use the basic java serialization - this is doable. That's good to know.

Unlike a pub sub message broker approach where each service subscribes to a topic, a client actor needs to know the specific IP address and port of the server. So if a server vNext is deployed adjacent to the older version, the client will need to be updated to take talk to the new server. Is this correct? Or is this something that the router can handle as an intermediator?

Man saw the post on readline(). This is nuts. Insanely cool. Though not sure why I would want to give up that sweet recording setup you had there!

Hey Terry. what a good post! I hear you. I recently picked up Java again and love the vibrance of ecosystem. From an alternative runtime, all the way to having lightweight shipping containers. By the way, HR wants to see you now :)

would having an NsTimer upon viewDidLoad be better than a recursive function? I'm kinda wondering if the recursive call would cause a memory leak

var timer = NSTimer.scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval(0.1, target: self, selector: Selector("updateclocklabel"), userInfo: nil, repeats: true)

Re: Idaciti preview - telling stories with global financial data

ronaldwidha — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 15:38:38 -0000

I hope this is an appropriate place to give feedback for the platform: This is an interesting usecase for idaciti. On one side, having the raw financial summary type of information is definitely useful, but chaining through pure financial summary cards simply offering the same level of analysis as "Wolfram Alpha" through crowdsourcing the effort. E.g. http://www.wolframalpha.com...

I think a more useful card to promote perhaps one that is more hypothesis in nature i.e. "Bed bath and Beyond sales rise up while Target scramble to protect their customer data against cyber attacks". Then this card could be used by someone to construct a storyboard around "The monetary value of cyber security".

As the "digital strategy" discipline gets more mature and expands (or absorbed?) to cover all aspects of business, there's an opportunity for IE to differentiate (or bring awareness) between Digital Strategy and Digital Marketing Strategy. This talk is obviously leaning heavily towards a Digital Marketing Strategy theme.

if you mean reset as in "reboot" (turning it off and on), you can safely reboot. You will not have internet connection until the router is back on.

if you mean reset as in "reset to factory settings", dont! Your internet connection may not work anymore and they probably have to come in to re-configure the router again.

Hi guys. a quick comment on the EF "lazy loading by default" - Either Shawn or Richard mentioned that you would never want to do lazy loading in web apps. I'm not sure whether this statement is correct.

The lazy loading behavior in EF prevents "eagerly loading" related entities being loaded in one go all the time. Imagine the use case where by loading a user also loads up all their orders along with the product details. In DDD, this would be loading up all child entities and value objects when retrieving the aggregate root.

There are cases where eager loading is desired, but typically this is heavily on a use case by use case basis. As for the rest, you'd want lazy loading as the default behavior. Ideally though, EF would always optimize a series of data request - but this isn't the same as turning off lazy loading as such.

As always, keep up the good work.

Re: The Tablet Show

ronaldwidha — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 13:29:20 -0000

Wow. One of the best tablet show I've heard so far. Good choice in bringing Justin as a guest. It was a slightly non-typical tablet show..for a second I had to stop and re-check my iphone just to make sure it wasn't Mixergy playing! I thoroughly enjoyed it.

If I can have a little constructive criticism,the first few mins into the interview sounded as if you hadn't done your homework prior speaking to Justin. For a moment, as a listener it felt like "did we just bring on the wrong guest on our show?".

Good work as usual guys. Love the variety!

I took a lot less drastic measure, power cycling the USB Dock by unplugging the adapter and leaving it out for 10-15 seconds before plugging back in seems to fix most connectivity issues for me.

Hi guys, I think the broken part about patent is the fact that the duration in which the patent is valid for is far too long for the cadence of modern day innovation. 1 internet year is an eternity in our industry. If a patent is valid for much shorter duration, in theory, couldn't it still protect the innovators by giving them a head start but also gives a chance to other people to implement the idea better at the end of the exclusivity period?
