I don't think this is a very charitable reading. Your parent didn't make any claims as to Twitter's legal rights.

Yeah that's why I built it :) thanks for your message!
I don't think anyone has a problem understanding that these are private companies and that they are well within their rights to censor whatever they see fit.

What is concerning is that these particular companies are the main platforms used nowadays for conveying ideas and expressing thought, and there are no alternatives that offer the same level of reach. Sure, you can put your video up on another hosting platform. Nobody is going to find it like they would on YouTube.
It’s absolutely viral and addicting here in China, as well as the news aggreation app ‘Jinri Toutiao’(Toutiao.com) from the same company. These apps could easily kill a large amount of time and the recommendation system behind is the magical sauce imho.
> War money: your nation can't survive without it.

Especially when most of the money, and all the future interest on the new public debt, comes from the domestic taxpayer. Imagine all the trouble the average citizen would cause if they could spend their own money on scientific pursuits, entrepreneurship and educating their children instead of debt service. It would practically be a revolution in the making.
You're basically arguing that CTOs mostly cause damage and it's better to hide various vanity metrics from them with the purpose of them not meddling in the process.

My view is that looking at scrum metrics will provide you with additional insight into the development process. I understand that shitty managers will simply take those and decide on top of that. Proper managers would look at the numbers and go ask the line manager what is going on.

I can give you a very practical example - before we had scrum and burndown charts our team leads had limited tooling to detect problems and even quantify problems in the development process. Now we can use that to improve our process with the purpose of us being more efficient and making the development process less stressful.

I never look at burndown charts - I'm the CTO and my purpose is strategic. VP of Eng might look at them, but only if issues are detected, while team leads need to use them daily to help them improve how they work.

Could people whose filesystem will no longer be supported work around this by making an ext4 filesystem in a file and mounting that file via the loop device, and moving their Dropbox directory to that?
I wonder if I'll get a prorated refund for the time I pre-paid. This is really silly of them, the entire reason to use dropbox is because they have a client for everything.
Yes, the core idea of looking for someone who neither says they can do something difficult really simply nor says they can't do it is sound.

It's the idea of requesting the contractor to give feedback on a task that you have no intention of having them complete that people (including me) are taking issue with.

The title of the test is irrelevant - the test could easily be asking a contractor if they could develop an application that does abc in such-and-such a time-frame then turning round and telling them "I don't actually want an application that does that, I just wanted to see what you'd say".
That's a variation of Poe's law:

Why doesn't the article talk about corn and meat subsidies. While meat by itself doesn't fuel obesity as much as carbs, most people typically pair with high fat and high carb foods.

The decision usually is between a cheap meat based meal and a non-meat based meal, and since meat is as cheap or cheaper than vegetables, it gets picked. Also, broccoli has more protein per calorie than beef.

Axon CEO Says Face Recognition Isn't Accurate Enough for Body Cams Yet
Amazon employee here. I can confirm that ALB and NLB do not need prewarming for most customers.

If you are Epic Games running Fortnite on AWS, and you want to direct millions of player connections through a brand new, freshly provisioned load balancer then you should definitely talk to support to make sure the load balancer is prewarmed and ready for that level of traffic.

But 99.99% of websites and service won't need intervention or prewarming at the load balancer level because the load balancer can and will scale up far faster than your backend server provisioning and scaling, or your database will. You only need to worry about prewarming a load balancer in the very specific conditions where you are immediately redirecting millions of active connections over to a new load balancer, and frankly there are very few companies that have that problem.

Additionally even if you do have that problem Amazon gives you the tools to solve it without needing any manual prewarming. Any blue/green traffic switchover at massive scale should probably use a weighted Route 53 DNS record set. You wouldn't immediately cut 100% of your traffic over to a new load balancer, instead you should dial it up in percentage increments while testing and monitoring the new stack. ALB and NLB can autoscale up gracefully and automatically as you increase the DNS weight on the new DNS record.
You were just told the formatting removed the asterisk. const isn't a type, but a const pointer is, so is a mut pointer. It says so in the book AND it's in the position of a type in the code. What other information do you need to convince you that you're wrong?
It may sound like a minor correction, but track bikes are uncommon* on the road. You probably mean road bikes.

The important difference is that track bikes do not have brakes. Most bikes on the road do.

*Yes - there are people cycling on the road using bikes without brakes. However, that's not 90% - it's a small minority. Cycling on the road in the UK without two braking systems (e.g. front brake, rear brake) is illegal, and unusual. Regardless, anyone cycling without a front brake is an idiot.
Workona helps web workers finally close all those tabs
When I was first taken on as a developer in 2002 I worked on something like this, though I was very junior. XML was a thing then and so the "app" stored it's configuration as an XML file. You would alter your app by writing XML. This meant it looked like code and it failed in the marketplace, as people already had code and they didn't see the use of learning something new. Also this XML had to contain SQL, and HTML, and it had URLs in it. So not something a novice could cope with. The next step taken was to try and build a GUI to generate the XML files, but that didn't sell either because in order to do the really good stuff you still had to understand SQL, and HTML, and Javascript and the URL structure. Even if the app was responsible for some of those things.

Projects like these blur the lines between "coding" and "configuring" software, and I think the success of Retool long term will be understanding how to walk that line. The benefit of code is that it allows for greater complexity to be understood meaningfully, and configuration's benefit is that it is easier to learn. I think if someone is expecting to code and gets a configuration interface, that's OK until it limits them, and if they want to configure and end up having to code, then that's a fail for them as well.

Good luck.
The problem is that private enterprise is becoming the centralized controller of both personal and "public square" communications, being a ubiquitously editorializing middle man of common case and important speech.

This is completely different than, and carries higher stakes than the role that telecoms, hosting companies, and publishers have played in the past.

I wonder what the orange juice test response to "No, I can't scrounge up enough staff to fill that order" is. Are logistical impediments acceptable, or should they just increase the price to something astronomical (top pay for onboarding and training new staff) to compensate?

I think the issues are a bit different in the various countries, but I think the main issue is that Ryanair is barely becoming aware that its employees can make their own collective demands, it seems that after signing deals with the unions they haven't actually listened to the unions in the most basic sense.

For 19 days after the first strike one day by Irish pilots Ryanair management agreed to a mere two hours of meetings, and has since stated it plans to re-base a 100 pilots out of Poland: essentially threatening employees that they would have to change country to keep their jobs.

As for actual demands, I've found mentioned that Irish pilots aren't happy about the rules for how they are rebased, apparently the process isn't very transparent for the employees.

6 Reasons Why Your Website Needs a Website Redesign
The fracturing of the narrative is an argument against the idea sometimes espoused (most often implicitly, but sometimes explicitly) that, as functions are useful, then the maximal factoring into functions must be optimal.

Nevertheless, functions (with names) differ from 'where' clauses in precisely that: they have a name, and ideally, a function's name might tell you everything you need to know about it, though in practice, it is hard to fully and unambiguously state a function's contract in its name, especially if it has side effects.

I doubt it is possible for a language to be such that everything that matters in understanding a given part is always lexically local. I think we need to look to tools, rather than syntax, to help with that.

This is extremely frustrating. One of the biggest use cases for wanting to use Aurora serverless is connecting to MySQL using lambda functions -- Function as a Service apps that can still use rdbms. The problem is that RDS endpoints only exist inside vpcs, and cold starting a lambda function with a vpc network interface can take 10+ seconds, making it useless for an API.
I had hoped that, given they were making a serverless MySQL service, they'd make sure it actually plays well with lambda. Nope. Same problems regular RDS has. No better method of securing the connection beyond vpc firewall rules.
Amazon, it's been a problem since lambda was launched and it hasn't been fixed. Either fix lambda vpc cold start times, or provide a better way to connect lambda to RDS. Just burying the problem only pisses off your customers when they try to buy into your hype.

And since it always comes up:

* Yes, there is plenty of reason to want to use MySQL with lambda. Wanting to run software on FaaS does not mean wanting to abandon rdbms. For a small app, dynamodb is overkill; for a small app that turns into a large app, dynamodb is a money pit.

* No, adding scheduled heartbeat requests to the lambda functions so they never have to cold start is not a real, long term, scalable solution. It's a hack, it doesn't solve the problem if your app actually scales up, and infrastructure shouldn't depend on horrible hacks to function correctly.
Thank you for making this!

I can't help but think the big platforms are shooting themselves in the foot by acting as censors and opening the door up to whole new categories of services (like this) that will ultimately replace them. Betting against decentralization seems like a long term losing strategy. Censoring content and promoting particular political viewpoints will accelerate the move away from centralization.

> In 1800, the average person consumed approximately 22.4 grams of sugar each day (10.2 kg per year). In 1900, the average person consumed approximately 112 grams of sugar each day (40.8 kg per year). In 2009, 50 per cent of Americans consumed approximately 227 grams of sugar each day - equating to 81.6 kg per year.

The seminal event for increasing per-capita sugar intake was the introduction of Coca Cola/soda.

Christopher McDougall's book "Natural Born Heroes" is about the heroes of Crete during WW2 who were able to fight off the Germans by putting up extraordinary resistance by doing, among other things, hiking for miles and miles over treacherous territory for 20 hours straight. It makes an argument that a paleo-based diet is the reason why they were able to do it. With this diet, they were able to run and evade for long distances without fatigue. Meats and other proteins provide a sustainable, longer-lasting source of energy in contrast to the spike of sugar.

No, Windows support came with the 2G in 2002. iTunes for Windows wasn’t a thing and few Windows machines had FireWire, but the Windows-compatible iPod came out in 2002.

The 3G was the breakthrough model, but I lend that as much to the dock connector (which was available in USB and FireWire) and the growth of x-platform iTunes as anything.

The broader point that it required Windows support for the iPod to become mainstream is of course true. That said, the iPod was also the reason so many of us became Mac users in the early 00s because the “halo effect” was undeniable.
I tend to use regular people just to avoid this confusion :).
Again, the op stated these things are put there to "show how people react to stress" -- my post was a response to that, there is no re-creation of a stressful environment in the situations I stated.

"I know it's totally anecdotal, but we've all heard horror stories about candidates who couldn't write a for loop; some of us have witnessed these things first hand. And yes, phone screens should be filtering out those sorts of candidates long before they start sweating with a dry-erase marker in their hand, but, well."

Yes, it is a failure of how you have set up your hiring pipeline which you are now band-aiding. The majority of those folks can be screened by one look at a resume or in the first 30 seconds of the phone interview. Other hiring managers in our company repeatedly had this problem until we got them to focus of the right candidate qualities and ask the appropriate questions.

Take for example your local symphony orchestra; they have the same problem where people with visions of "making it" show up not being able to play at all. Want to audition? Send us an audition tape and a check. When you show up for the audition, you'll play a selection from these pieces and be asked to sight read this music. It is ironic that for an industry that is in a sense so subjective that the gates in the hiring process are more concrete.

To make an analogy, the software world is akin to:

Interviewer: "I see you are interviewing for the 1rst chair violin. The 3rd chair tuba player is really into experimental music, he would like to transpose Vivaldi's Four Seasons into a new scale with 12.5 notes per octave with a slight progressive jazz leaning. Oh, and since we all know there is pressure in performing in front of an audience, you have 30 seconds to think before the 2nd chair begins to throw rotten food at you. Reaction to stress and all you know...here is your tuba."

"But I don't play tuba...Are you asking me to play tuba? Am I going to be playing this nutcase's new music as part of our program?"

"Sigh...you don't know music do you?"
