Go gaga over Machine Learning

Let's start with what is Serverless Framework? Build applications comprised of microservices that run in response to events, auto-scale for you, and only charge you when they run. This lowers the total cost of maintaining your apps, enabling you to build more logic, faster. The Serverless Framework helps you develop and deploy your AWS Lambda functions, along with the AWS infrastructure resources they require. It's a CLI that offers structure, automation and best practices out-of-the-box, allowing you to focus on building sophisticated, event-driven, serverless architectures, comprised of Functions and Events . It manages your code as well as your infrastructure It supports multiple languages (Node.js, Python, Java, and more) AWS Lambda is a compute service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers. You can also build serverless applications composed of functions that are triggered by events and automatically deploy them using AWS CodePipelin...

If you are looking to insert images in your .md file on github there is no direct way. Here is the trick to do get an embedded image In most cases your CDN assets do not, however, need to be version controlled. And while Amazon CloudFront or Akamai offer great CDN solutions, such approaches (a) physically separates your repository from your images, and (b) becomes an upload and maintenance PITA when you have a simple set of static assets. So the summary advice is: Do not try to add your images to the repository itself and then use a reference to a raw path. Do not worry about deploying your static images and other file attachments to Amazon CloudFront or Akamai Click on Issues tab: Create an issue with title appropriate to the context of your images  Create a new issue You can drag-n-drop 1 or more images onto the Leave a Comment box and those files will be instantly uploaded to the hidden GitHub asset manager.  After each upload, GitHub will update the ...

Problem: I created this confluence page that acts as a single source of truth for the community. I wan't sure who was reading or looking at this page. Also helps me when I roll out comms  to make sure the right number of people and the appropriate people has seen it. Solution: You could enable the Confluence Usage Stats plugin and you would be able to see anonymous viewing stats for all pages: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/View+Space+Activity OR You could install the viewtracker plugin: https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/ch.bitvoodoo.confluence.plugins.viewtracker Source: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Is-there-an-ability-to-see-who-has-visited-a-page-and-how-many/qaq-p/72335
