This is a neat little utility we made for Coiled users to easily request EC2 limit increases. But it should be helpful even if you don't use Coiled! Considering whether we should expand it to work with all quotas, or split off interest a separate tool...

Frustrating that AWS CloudShell has only python2 and python3.7 by default. 3.7 was "end of life" in June! (And let's not talk about python2...)

Extremely unsurprising that it's hard to predict sigmoids, but neat that someone wrote it down

Great demonstration of really large-scale data processing with the Pangeo stack. Coiled makes managing Dask clusters so easy!

I once read somewhere that a company gets bored of its product design well before its customers do, resulting in completely unnecessary changes. That about sums up Slack.

Instead of requester-pays on an s3 bucket, I wanted to restrict it to just readable from EC2 in the same region (to keep costs down). It seems like that's possible but... only by finding the IP ranges for EC2 in the region (dozens of different ranges just for IPv4). Fun!

New Blogpost: "Ten Cents Per Terabyte" medium.com/coiled-hq/ten-… This is roughly the cost of optimal cloud data transformation if you're bound by object store access.

Pretty sad for whoever hacked Nate's twitter account to not do something more creative with it

today I found a bug, sort of fixed it, just for fun sent the bug's author a screenshot of me asking GPT4 to find the bug... I hadn't read GPT4's explanation, but the other person did, which caused him to realize my fix was also buggy and we needed to do what the robot said

America is in the middle of a full-blown housing crisis. There are a lot of ways to measure it, but I’ll start with the most basic: We are 7 million units short of what we need to house people. What can we do? Increase the housing supply. It's plain old Econ 101.

📢Really happy to announce the "Scaling with Dask guide" for Panel. 🤝In many ways Panel and Dask is a perfect couple as they share both philosophies and key technologies. 👇Link to guide below #python #dataviz pandas Coiled #datascience #Analytics

haha this rules, sometimes those redditors are up to fun stuff

Wow this WEB page is amazing

dear users running Spark on Coiled (I see you!)-- that part's not a joke! keep trying it out, and we appreciate your feedback :-)

The first of these Loeb giveaways, then: the nine-volume set of Early Greek Philosophy. A bedtime book if ever there were one. Or nine! To enter the draw, just share this tweet and cross your fingers for Monday 10 May!

I failed to post this, but no. 10 of 10 is here. And yes, I’ve had my coffee…

I wonder if it might actually help to add Dunkin' to my resume 🤔☕

I tried to quickly find a way to ask an LLM questions about my whole codebase, and after a few minutes of searching I haven't found anything that sounds easy. Am I missing something obvious? Sorta surprised if we haven't made this easy yet.

If you’re new to the cloud, AWS just made their free tier more generous! It’s easy to get started running things at scale on AWS (and other cloud providers) using Coiled even if you’ve never used the cloud before.
