Thanks folks! Yea Feynman's spinning plate story about sophomore slump in particular is such a great read


What's your podcast by the way?


What about Python 3.6 support for ElasticBeanstalk?


At least you can use the Docker environment type and deploy your own image with Python+your code.


If you want to spend multiple weeks rewriting your deployment process. EBS promised a new Python image a few months ago, and now that Django 2.0 is going to drop support for 3.4 by the end of the year it's getting to be time for them to deliver on that.


The text is up and part of the audio as well.


Yep, thanks J. You can find it in the player:

I could not help but think that if The Economist wrote an article about the same topic that the title would have included the pun "The Secret Gardner."


What are some of your favorite more technical podcasts?


With technical podcasts, I don't listen to there every episode. Only, the ones that I find interesting. But, here are some of the ones, that I usually enjoy listening to.

- The Changelog https://changelog.com/podcast

- Does Not Compute https://spec.fm/podcasts/does-not-compute/

- Giant Robots Smashing Into Other Giant Robots http://giantrobots.fm/

- The Bike Shed http://bikeshed.fm/

- The Hanselminutes Podcast http://hanselminutes.com/

- The Web Ahead http://5by5.tv/webahead




Not technical but CGPGrey from Youtube has "Hello Internet" which is fun and relaxing.


That and “Cortex” by CGPGrey. Both of these can be quite entertaining and relaxing.


Thanks for the new things to check out!




Curious about the HN community's thoughts on this self-driving car AI conundrum.


HN readers have had many opportunities to voice their thoughts.

This was discussion about this 9 months ago, when there were 15 different links to the article "Why Self-Driving Cars Must Be Programmed to Kill" - https://hn.algolia.com/?query=Why%20Self-Driving%20Cars%20Mu... , with about 30 comments across all postings.

A bit over a year ago there were 70 HN comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9725288 to the story "Will your self-driving car be programmed to kill you?"

8 months ago there were 71 HN comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10709264 to the story "Will your driverless car kill you so others may live?"

There's almost certainly more that I've forgotten.


There's a vampire association in here somewhere...
