<p>Another funny thing about Mac networking.<p>There's a game I play (Old School Runescape) that does network ticks every .6s. Mac does some sort of aggressive optimization on the network hardware/software, so network this infrequent doesn't keep the layers "hot", and you end up getting delayed ticks regularly, meaning you learn what should be happening in the game .2-.5s late. This optimization for (I assume) battery life makes the software not work as intended.<p>Playing anything that streams, like video, or triggering TCP connections (e.g. curl) at a more frequent clip while the game is running fixes the problem.<p>No way other than hacks that I've found to fix it, and I have no idea how you could report this to the right team at Apple to get it actually fixed.</p>

<p>> The moment you are thinking of a job in terms of "fits in an AWS Lambda" you are automatically stuck with "Use S3 to store the results" and "use a queue to manage the jobs" decisions.<p>I think the most important one you get is that inputs/outputs must always be < 6mb in size. It makes sense as a limitation for Lambda's scalability, but you will definitely dread it the moment a 6.1mb use case makes sense for your application.</p>
