> That's only really true because the areas of the USA where the Burrito is common were part of Mexico until very recently.

Texas and California were made states over 150 years ago, and Arizona and New Mexico were made states over 100 years ago. In the scheme of American history, this is not "very recently" at all.

In fact, it seems plausible (if not probable) the burrito was invented after all of those states became part of the US.
Please just remember that you should always read the entire prospectus, verbatim from the SEC, if you want to really understand what's going on. Not just someone else's analysis, and definitely not the "investor summary" or God forbid the slide deck prepared by the securities seller (the company). Bottom-to-top reading is a useful strategy because there's usually some bad and relevant stuff hidden close to the end.

It's an adversarial game where you (the buyer) want to pay as little as possible, the company (the seller) wants as much as possible, and the SEC (the regulator) is the neutral arbiter of information. Any third party's intention is unknown unless they publish their full portfolio.

Go, Python, and C++ are all notably languages that encourage a traditional imperative model of programming with things like for-loops and lots of mutation. I've noticed that developers with a background in these kind of languages struggle with Rust, which works much better with a functional approach.

Coming from JavaScript, my Rust code is often almost identical to my JS code. With perhaps a few extra `.clone()`s, a bit of extra error handling code (which is of course the benefit!), and type annotations.

An Interview with Laurene Powell Jobs
Pure Zero Trust is just as ridiculous as using Pure-VPN-around-a-garden. The first gives an attacker unlimited retries, and the second gives an attacker full system access once they breach the outer wall.

The correct solution is somewhere in the middle: block everything by default to get you to an inner courtyard, where the zero trust model is deployed... (which ironically he suggests by deploying port knocking (port knocking is a bad idea (TCP/UDP ports are sent in the clear and the "key" is never rotated)))

The best model is probably "block everything" by default, then allow access to the inner courtyard via a VPN, where then the Zero Trust model is deployed. You remove the ability for an attacker to have unlimited retries, but access to resources still requires individual authentication.
I agree that none of these metaphors, including the digital computer one, have come close to providing anything close to an explanation of consciousness, but if the premise that a sufficiently-detailed digital simulation of a brain would have a mind turns out to be correct, then, by Turing equivalence, there is a sense in which the medium does not matter. Of course, none of the pre-Turing materialist claims were predicated on this insight!
Ordering messages and providing reliability does not require 1.7M lines of code.

I think you're on to something here. I certainly value a lot of freedom and need the challenge of solving big problems myself. I get demoralized when some scrum master is breaking everything down into tiny tickets and only doling me pre-thought out bits of implementation work.

Lets assume for a second that you're right and focusing on sprint targets is bad. How else can we solve the issues that Scrum solves well? Management knowing what their team is working on, Management being able to prioritize features, Not losing developers to time sinks only to surface weeks later without any significant value add. etc. etc.

I've found some success with setting 2-week goals as large items. Give a good engineer clear requirements for an entire business goal that will take roughly 2 weeks to solve, and then give them huge liberties of how to implement. Though do the same for bad engineers and you'll get comically disastrous results...

This is all rings so true.

Why do I have to swipe an access card and display a name badge in my building, when all the important data is outside the building?

Why do we factor GDPR into our designs if we don't know where we store the data, and we'll never meet (nor be able to trust) the people who hold onto it for us. Can't we just encrypt it on our side then? I don't think we're getting homomorphically-encrypted relational databases anytime soon.

My last month has been an effort of 'migrating' a service from another team to ours. The service stayed right where it was - the cloud - but we sank weeks into editing IAM files and deploy scrips to try to make it 'belong' to our team.

We're programmers; we don't know about AWS's policies model, security groups or software-defined networking. Whenever I'm forced to interact with AWS I always feel like I'm doing significantly more work than the "managed" selling point of AWS would imply.

The author elaborated in another post: it's also ipv6 addresses, ranges, cidr notation, and the data center id number. It's not as simple as just an ipv4 address.

IMHO this was critical information that muddled the article. I think most people who think critically about their data (ie, everyone who would be interested in the article) should have the same thought. I sure did.
Sounds and looks amazing a first glance, but the issue for me is simply that more virtual monitors does not translate into more physical resolution.

> It's a chat app that works very well even on the crappiest connections

Does it? I routinely use Telegram, Line and Messenger. Messenger is without contest the one that gives the most trouble.

I've been using chat apps at least since ICQ (1996) and sometimes I feel the user experience has declined.

That being said, I'm sure that a lot of progress have been made and that there's a lot going on behind Messenger in terms of security and scalability. I'd be curious to know what's hidden between the millions LOC.

I'm not a beer historian but I think the American craft beer scene is a 'thing' because home brewing was legalized in 1978 and it took this long for a fabric of breweries in the US to develop to mirror what already existed in Europe or any other country.

I think the influence of American IPA is quite limited and only adding to the selection rather than altering how others do anything ("influence"). That said, Duvel has a triple hop beer which tastes awful, so maybe I'm wrong and the hop fetishism is contagious.

Comparison of Student Health and Well-Being Profiles and Social Media Use [pdf]
Honestly, a chat app that 1 billion+ use per month that includes payments, camera effects, extensive social integrations, stories, GIFs, reactions, games, polls, voice recording, calling, video chat, and works across all mobile platforms, with nine years of technical debt, that thousands of developers build simultaneously seems WAY more complicated to me than any of your examples.

Messenger may not have "HN clout" but the devs who work on it are having some of the greatest software impact in the world.
Congrats on the big release!

One thing which saddens me a lot though, is returning types you have to type assert because they had to avoid an import cycle. I don’t know if it could be avoided (probably not) but it’s still unergonomic.

> (Why the type assertion? Since the generated descriptorpb package depends on protoreflect, the protoreflect package can't return the concrete options type without causing an import cycle.)
Does this also mean, that that's the smallest unit of time?

Templates do have a part to play when they are incorporated correctly into training and procedures. At times, they can be used as a checklist for inexperienced support people, but as a support manager you need people to understand that these aren't even the minimum required for a response to a customer. I always show our templates and what actually gets sent to the customer for comparison.

The support person needs to understand the problem that the customer faces and how it connects to the product they are supporting (today and in the future.) Often, support is a just a cost to companies, or they offer no career path in support, which means that templates become the norm for bad support management.
I guess my point was that "opinionated" generally seems to imply maintainability at the (explicit and very intentional) expense of utility.
