I’ve never worked on a large(ten+ of devs including people that left) project that didn’t have flakes.

They’re hard to fix. If you can’t reliably reproduce then you don’t even know if you that it’s fixed or you’re just lucky.

They’re hard to find. The change that they first appear tends not to be related to the cause. Leads to a lot of “not my problem”

Really that’s just lack of ownership. Ultimately who owns the entire codebase. You say “my code” but I see a lot of people thinking that means the files I edit, not everything

someone has to explicitly decide to spend day(s) fixing tests, and then only might fix a couple. The roi is super frustrating and it’s hard to spend whole days on a single test.

There’s a ton of broken window theory. Once you get used to hitting rebuild, you just always hit rebuild and don’t even know it’s a new flake.

The most effective thing I’ve seen when you hit this point is get all the test data, junit xml say, somewhere queryable and make graphs and explicit parts of okr with time against it.
But will a Canadian that’s unfamiliar with the country be able to find it?

(Serious question, I have no idea what the answer is).
It sounds like the Illuminati social engineers need to start turning sex into a public matter, in order to capture this immense value.

Imagine-- The Internet has made boatloads of money, but 95 percent is un(der)monetized porn. That would assure economic growth until the end of the practically significant future.
> If the "public dns" are arbitrarily-nested subdomains,

not names. those are the limited conflicting resource, and they aren't arbitrarily nested:

"The server can contain only lowercase letters, numbers, and the hyphen (-) character" - "The domain name postgres.database.azure.com is appended to the server name you provide."

it also means I cannot just create parallel environments on their own subnet with the same scripts, I've to enter and manage configuration points for all the names, either as dns aliases or straight up in the application connection strings, and it also makes unnecessarily harder to just migrate the stuff around as needed to a failover node

i.e. rds advantage was zero downtime upgrades too, then and then sent a mail everyone last week with "we going to have 5 minute downtime to upgrade your db, whether it's multi zone with replicas or not"?

you can't trust them with that, the cloud is just somebody else computers', you need your own failover on top, and instead of changing one entry in the namespace I've to redeploy all clients, oh joy.
Furthermore, it's not like products that alter the smell of any body part are unheard of. So I'm definitely leaning towards a misportrayal. Outrage culture is dangerous and the people wielding this to do harm need to have some accountability.
Stepping Back from the Scaled Agile Framework
The article wasn't just about Tumblr porn, but yes, it shows that you only read the title and considered it a good opportunity to mention what else ails you.

Getting things off your chest is what HN is all about.
People are people and will do self-serving people things. Don't think any single industry is immune or reserved from this. I have been thinking about this heavily recently as to what I will do with myself when I return to the US later this year.

When interviewing ask the following questions:

* How do you define personal success?

* In the fewest words how do you define product quality?

* Do you require honesty/transparency as a primary cultural value even when it makes people uncomfortable?

> It's almost as if the "largeness" of a company allows the non productive people to hide within it

Yes, absolutely.
Good question.

I think (dont quote me) that porn ads could be seen as "lowest common denominator", aka "cheapest product on market", and, generally speaking, nobody in marketing department wants to be associated with such label.

We may argue that this is wrong and being advertised next to porn content does not carry such stigma, but this is how the world works, at least for now.

If some brand will start with porn advertising, their competitors will instantly postition themselves as "premium", "top class", etc, having nothing in common with porn.
"Wether you want it or not, you are in the news business – as a Customer, that is."

Thanks for clarifying this for me. Based on this, there is nearly no business I am not in. Does that make me a businessman extraordinaire?
Amazon has massive control over their margins. Therefore in a downturn, they just turn a dial and are profitable again.

They're just choosing to reinvest profits into growth, and can stop doing that whenever they want.

I think we mostly agree, but not about how much risk they're exposing themselves to in a downturn.
>Operators of other Canadian cryptocurrency exchanges called it highly unusual for a single executive to be the only one with access to the company’s funds.

It's almost like they never heard of Mt.Gox and MagicalTux.
A small typo in a crypto contract would not entitle the beneficiary to the funds...but a typo in a legal contract would, if sufficient other evidence of the true intent of the contract is available.

That was the whole point of the comment you were replying to. Legal real-world contracts are simply better for the scenario described.

You can't really compare the two number, the Dropbox's post doesn't mention how many disks they are using for each brokers.

In your example, they need 16 HDDs to reach 500MB/s, which average to ~30MB per disk.

Yes, sounds like bad design to me. But the uber-problem here is with complexity. Google had its own share of screwups (most of which users never saw, but some of which they did), albeit not quite to the extent of destroying data at scale (and when GMail did destroy data at scale, it had tape backups, so it was never actually lost).

The root cause of nearly all of these screwups is that large, complex systems can't be fully understood or observed, and that a good chunk of knowledge about such systems is institutional, rather than explicit. So from time to time people _will_ make assumptions that don't match reality, and reality will punish them for it. Which is what, I strongly suspect, happened in this case.
I think the general reason is that Pepsi cola doesn't want their ads showing up in that setting. Most advertisers shy away from monetizing adult content.
Based on my understanding of Asian tastes, it likely will still make cheese a rather rare and expensive product. So I advise caution with the happiness.

Reminds me of the guy who brought a shitload of blue cheese to Brazil and was surprised that he could not find it in his fridge anymore. Asking his domestica (household helper) she answered: Oh, yes, I threw it away. It was totally rotten!
oh come on. tumbler is aiming for sweet sweet sweet branding advertising dollars, which has nothing to do with payment processors.

they are looking for a hefty 1-10-100M transaction from BMW, P&G or Unilever. payment processors are not in this business at all.
There was some pretty debauched stuff on Tumblr before the crackdown. There is some pretty cartoonish, trollish, and non-serious Nazi stuff out there.

This line of argument goes in circles.
I'm convinced the problem with these keyboards isn't always debris under the keys. I've noticed it's often E and R, the keys right above the heatpipe system, which suggests that heat could be warping or damaging the contacts. This is even worse.

I wish every link could get a score based on how shitty the things it links to are, in terms of banners and paywalls. I need to know way in advance about toxic sites in a way that links that lead there get docked points for linking to toxic places, PageRank style.
Not true. Things have improved vastly in the health administration sector, especially when it comes to records. Corruption is indeed rampant but I think most Indians themselves have a very Bollywood-y idea about how things happen outside of their circle. So for a foreign official, outright faking it would be tough, until its somewhere deep in the rural parts (with little connection to the outside world). I think its more plausible that he committed suicide and the records are being altered, not faked.

Source: I have family working in this sector. Shit is difficult, especially if you are a foreign personal.
Agree. In fact, we have a rule in our team that if a feature is not supported by IntelliJ, then it's probably too arcane and should not be used.

No, conan create builds a package from a recipe. Provided you cloned sources form a git remote, you can locally build the conan package without conan ever hitting your network.

You can even just export any recipes into your local cache without manually building the package and then let conan do the work when you require the package as a dependency (using --build all)
I _think_ a key difference between the montreal protocol and the paris agreement is that the first meant _banning products_, so a if country X keeps producing something with CFCs and tries to sell it to country Y then the latter can just forbid importing.

So individual actors have an economical incentive to be compliant.

This does not work for CO2 emissions, we're left to the individual countries' "goodwill".
It's always like that. TV and radio were quirky in the early days too, but as soon as you go mass market it changes. It's not the medium, it's the people on it. Time to keep moving and get away from the mainstream.
"Free trade is great even when applied unevenly."

Is it?

Lets assume a real FTA with the EU and Mercosul.
Result? EU agriculture will nearly collapse, and Brasilian industry will nearly collapse. Sure, prices of electronics, cars and consumer goods will be lower in Brazil and food prices will be lower in the EU.

Trade barriers helped countries like Brazil, Korea, Japan and likely China to build up their own industries before agreeing to FTA. I am in favor of FTA but I am not sure that they are a solution to every problem.

I think you’re a more sophisticated user. Most people would just google something like best [type of food] restaurant in [city].

It's really easy to find hospitals in India, just google 'hospitals around me' or use the phone number '102' to call an ambulance from any place. Usually, doctors are very comfortable talking in English. I'm from India and most of my conversations with doctors happen in English.
Facebook does such a good job of ad targeting these days, I've actually disabled adblock on the facebook.com domain. It's weird to be getting ads for products and services I actually want and wouldn't have known about if not for the ad.. there's some junk too, certainly, but overall the ads actually improve Facebook for me. Which feels really weird to say.
I recently took the Brightline train between Miami and Fort Lauderdale and was absolutely impressed. It felt as if I had been transported to Europe and aboard a DB train. Staff were professional and competent, stations were bright and clean, and the train was quite fast (in some places). I have an optimistic outlook for their SoCal train.

This is all in stark contrast to my experiences on Amtrak, full of half-caring staff and dirty cars on a train that would be hours behind. I get it, they don't have ROW since they don't own the tracks, but if the long distance trains left stations nearly on time, then they would be able to meet most of the scheduled sidings and pass with ease.
"Surprised this was being downvoted because it is true. If countries engage in protectionism unilaterally, they are predominantly harming their own consumers and undermining competition of their own businesses."

This worked quite well for countries building up their own industries (Brazil, Korea, Japan, possible China).

"As Friedman used to point out, if Japan wants to subsidize its steel at the cost of their own taxpayers, just take the cheap steel and be thankful for it."

It becomes a problem if a country like China with state capitalism uses this to systematically destroy other industries.

Ted's Youtube channel is a treasure. Candid and honest, but interesting and insightful.
Considering the insanity that is the perfume market, I guarantee you that if a product that could make a body part smell differently worked properly, there would be a market for it. But a "journalist" wanted to be outraged so that's what they did. They kicked up a nice outrage mob to score some more clicks and the result was that he became radioactive. Nobody wants to be associated with him in the tech world because they don't want to be accused of the same things.

This is the way outrage culture works. You convince a mob that somebody is wrong and that the moral thing to do is to stone (attack) them. It worked for religion and it works today on social media.
Is there a better way of making sure someone can actually code? It’s easy to take credit for past projects when it’s unclear how much help you had or what part you played. Isn’t the best way to judge a candidate asking them to create/produce something for you?
All kinds of "absolute tests" are generally wrong.

For instance, your climate change (which was called until a few years ago "global warming") test rubbed me the wrong way because you mentioned the "climate scientists". There is no such thing as a climate scientist because there is no climate science. There is climate research or climate studies but not Science. Science means application of Scientific method: (a) making observations -> (b) formulating hypothesis (falsifiable predictions) -> (c) proving or rejecting the hypothesis through experimentation. Climate studies lack the third step and therefore they are not science.

Should I dismiss the rest of your argument based on my own test of "the person fails to understand the difference between science and ontology"?

Last time I checked, this wasn‘t even primarily about ad money. Apple had kicked Tumblr‘s app out of the App Store (apparently because of actual child pornography and not just „adult content“), so Tumbler got into some real trouble and had broader reputation issues than just with advertisers.

What's interesting to me is how Americans don't bat an eye on all the violence exposed in movies, music and games, but then become prudish when it comes to sex. And these are the traits of the exported American culture.

In my European country it is perfectly normal to have pictures of your children naked. It's also OK for them to see a nude body now and then, like at the beach (and yes I am aware that I'm not talking about all of Europe, some countries ban nudity in public). But do that in the US and you risk being labeled as a pedophile.

I love how freedom of speech is protected by the US constitution, certainly a model to follow for the rest of us, however banning adult content while allowing violence, white nationalism and xenophobia is a huge double standard that gets exported to the rest of the world too.

So as a citizen of an EU country that's not prudish about sex, why do I have to suffer from the censorship of US companies?

And honestly, do you like it when you see actors like Tom Cruise not kissing the girl in his movies, possibly because it needs to be played in China?
I would say it is about incentives.

If hiring manager is 'graded's on number of people hired, usually has a decent budget that might dissappear every new fiscal year, and they want to hire you, they will be willing to negotiate :)

On the other hand, your manager might operate on assumptions that you either won't leave because of your pay and if you'd leave you would have left even after you receive a raise.
Now imagine what government jobs must be like considering their size.

Tons of advertisers pay them (large and small). How is that not using a payment processor to process advertiser payments?

It's true that there might be other reasons though... like SESTA/FOSTA scaring them enough that they self-censor. Whatever the reasons are the climate for making a NSFW business are terrible... you're way better off making a marijauna startup these days.

go to BMW marketing dept and pitch them the value of being advertised next to mature lady sucking two huge young cocks.

maybe they really miss this opportunity and it will make them millions?

I dont know.
What's considered art vs adult content is a very big gray area that's open to interpretation from multiple perspectives. From a platform's point of view, it's safer to ban anything remotely that might considered adult content to avoid false negatives that could land them in trouble.
I was personally affected by all those three I had listed, among other things. To add, I also personally faced:

- The 2016-2017 keyboard issue on all MacBooks of that generation I had (5-6 devices).

- The MacBook Air 2008 "core shutdown" issue that the machine thermally throttled itself to a grind and shut down all but a single core.

- Most recently, I faced a water damage issue with iPhone XS Max (the device is advertised as water resistant). Class action lawsuit, anyone?

My face gets grim when I have to admit that I am still a customer, even an advocate, because all the competitors produce mostly crap, insecure, poorly-made and/or invade your privacy. I have, however, started to break the ecosystem chain.

There's been obviously plenty more. Especially on the GPU side it was super annoying. Most of these things will break even after they "fix" it under their quality programs.

I'm not disagreeing with that and I'm not even making a value judgment on what's more acceptable, porn or racism. I don't care to have that discussion. Perhaps my initial question was unclear to receive already negative votes for asking a pretty benign question.

The author describes Tumblr as a "haven" for white nationalists, I'm asking based on what? What makes it any less of a haven than other social sites on the internet for those groups, is their presence on tumblr more or less pronounced than it is on, say, reddit? I legitimately don't know and was curious to hear insight from others because my experience on the site is deliberately starched and sanitized.

Clearly that question offended a few people.
