Sad story but a good side effect of that is you can now buy one of these arcade machine for a good price.

I bought a vewlix diamond a few months ago for $2k. Something I never thought possible a few years ago.

Game center are closing but if you are motivated, and not afraid to spend countless hours of research, cleaning, figuring out manual guide in japanese,… now is a good time to own one of those aracde machine before they completely disappear!

Congrats on making the dumbest business decision ever made!


Ah perfect! I really wanted to play Genshin Impact on my M1 MBA!


This is cool. Exactly the product I wanted for hosting my side projects without paying the exorbitant price for a MySQL instance on AWS or GCP.


I'm french and say 'no' all the time. I suppose I am a good software engineer then.


I'm British and say "bollocks" a lot. That makes me a Managing Director (as well as a sysadmin and network technician.) Engineers around here have a capital E and are time served. I am but I wont use the term wrt IT because that was Civil Engineering!


This is awesome. I hope http://rubyonjets.com/ will use all the new functionnality we saw this morning, including the lambda layers.


Jets now uses the official AWS Ruby runtime. Blog post here https://blog.boltops.com/2018/12/12/official-aws-ruby-suppor... Jets makes use of Lambda Layers to build the gem layer http://rubyonjets.com/docs/gem-layer/


Author of Jets here. Yup, excited about the release of Ruby support. Will be switching to the official Ruby runtime and using lambda layers


Is there a way on this release to create auto-scale rules like on RDS?


This comes just in time when I needed to replace an old scraper!

Does it have to run on an instance or can we also use a serverless environnement?


The SDK runs anywhere where you have Node running. And if you can run headless Chrome with Puppeteer there too, than you can use it in the SDK too. This might require several libraries and configuration settings. If I’m not mistaken, Google Cloud Functions support Puppeteer by default, AWS Lambda does not. With any Docker-based serverless platform such as Zeit Now or Apify Cloud you just need to use the right Docker image.


Got my H1B with a wet reckless offense (still a DUI I think). No question asked at the embassy. I even figured out later that I went to the embassy while having a warrant (lawyer never went to court because he died 2 days before).

It doesn’t mean you need to drink and drive or that it will apply to you, I think I just went crazy lucky that day at the embassy.


Yeah it's probably not 100% hit for sure. Some people in my University had questions when renewing their (student) visa because they got a DUI driving a bicycle.


Which is 100% normal. What entitle you to use the toilet for free? Someone will eventually have to clean after you and it costs money.

Even in the US you cannot just walk into every bars and restaurants and use their toilets for free...


Exposure leads to traffic leads which leads to sales is the main reason for why it is mutually beneficial usually. You stop in a place you usually wouldn't bother with just for the restroom and start to be familiar with it and remember it.

Take another extreme - allowing people in only if they will definitely buy something in the store. It reduces shoplifting and traffic that doesn't buy anything! Except that would drastically reduce sales from lack of people who haven't already decided in addition to being put off by it. The "buy something" policies strike me as similarly pennywise and pound foolish.


It depends on your clientele. If you're in an area where everyone is well behaved, then you might be right.

If you're in a place with tons of mentally disabled folk or other type of people that don't respect public areas, then it's going to cost you more than it helps you.

Also, it could be more headache than its worth if you're at a big tourist spot where the probability of someone buying something is not high enough compared to the enormous amount of people who will want to use a bathroom.
