While the author of the article is against commercial publishers, I don't think I'll have the same impact if I were to go with the self-publishing route. Either way it's super unlikely I'll make a profit so it might be better to use it as leverage; also, getting a publisher to publish it shows that there is at least some commercial viability.
Looking for beta readers--if interested, feel free to reply or email me (email on profile.)
There's a major competitor in this space, so I'll be targeting small businesses that need lower overhead.
I would be interested in any notes you have from your presentation about "homelab for newbs"
My guesses:
- They are doing something like Netflix's internal spot market https://netflixtechblog.com/creating-your-own-ec2-spot-marke....
- Or, they reserve a bunch of super large burstable instances at a discount, then run many jobs on there each in a firecracker vm, then do some sort of quota/reservation per job to allow it to use some of the burstable credits when it needs to.
Or, if it had OCR capabilities, you could just hold a sheet of paper in front of yourself and say "what's this?" and it would explain the text to you.

My intuition says you'd get better value out of testing different browsers shallowly rather than 50 old versions of Chrome, though.
Lots of excellent questions. If you'd like to get notified when I write an extended version of this post with more details, sign up to my mailing list here: http://eepurl.com/idzoGv
std::map<int, int> foobar(std::vector<int> x, std::vector<int> y) {
std::map<int, int> map;
for (int i = 0; i < x.size(); i++) {
if (std::find(y.begin(), y.end(), x[i]) != y.end()) {
map[x[i]] = x[i + 1];
}
}
return map;

Of course, that makes things even more subjective and makes burstable instances more difficult to compare but the results could be interesting.
I'd then go back and find any gaps or things that I was unsure of or didn't make any sense and then study those with extra caution. It was a very mentally-intensive exercise but it had proved the most successful study technique thus far in my academics.
