"We started with the premise that Messenger needed to be a simple, lightweight utility. Some apps are immersive (video streaming, gaming); people spend hours using them. Those apps take up a lot of storage space, battery time, etc., and the trade-off makes sense. But messages are just tiny snippets of text that take less than a second to send. Fundamentally, a messaging app should be one of the smallest, lightest-weight apps on your phone. With that principle in mind, we began looking at the right way to make our iOS app significantly smaller."

This paragraph just restored my faith in developer sanity.

> It may come as a surprise to you, but many professional programmers are self-taught.

In high school, we once had a professor from a university visiting us to encourage to apply there. He made a short speech, where he also said: "It's important to learn and know how to learn by oneself. To demonstrate that, consider where Nobel prize winners (he used another illustration) are taught. Answer: there is no institution which teaches how to win Nobel prizes. Nobel winners reach that level themselves."

Self-teaching is a sort of default, being both easiest to start and highest to achieve level of learning. Just like most successful people are self-made achievers, the best knowledgeable people are self-taught. There can be exceptions, but those are rather exceptions, AFAIK.

To be fair, small fast messenger 2020 is "better" (aka more features / millisecond of cold start) than small fast messenger 2016. The cycle doesn't always go up monotonically, even if developers pretend it does. But it is possible to go "full-circle" through the loop and wind up in a better place than you started, and it's even possible for each stage of the loop to be truly justified given product needs.
if we knew the identities of all or most of the current cases, we could isolate them, trace their contacts, and thus slow the spread giving our systems more time to prepare by letting us allocate resources more effectively instead of reacting to critical cases only.

here is an analysis of the percentage of contacts we would have to trace (paramerized on R0), to stop the spread entirely.

The author makes some good points.

The discussion would be strengthened if the graph obviously showed what he says it does. This should be a simple matter of using GDP growth minus deficit spending as one of the bar sequences.

My impression is that many of the entities that rent IPs are shady VPN providers, spammers, and the like -- the reputational damage that the IPs will suffer during the lease term is priced in. The blocks that sell for $20-24/IP are relatively "clean" in comparison.

I think this implies that IP addresses are expected to be a worse investment than property? Landlords would probably be more willing to sell their land if it didn't appreciate. Conversely higher rents would be needed in order to justify holding land that depreciates.

The other possibility I can this of is that renting the block might have greater liabilities compared to outright selling it.

Companies don’t pay Bay Area salaries to remote workers.
because a lockdown doesn't necessarily slow down the spread by much (some epidemiologists suggested the Chinese lockdown only slowed the virus by 20% or so) while it has drastic effects on supply chains and the economy in the country. The trade-off is probably not worth it.

I can also be plain counterproductive by making people suspicious of authorities, with the result of sick people avoiding registering their infections or seeking help.

Looking for a full-time SDE role! Previous couple roles were in the blockchain space, but I'm definitely open to a different industry. Open to startup roles.

Hah sorry super busy, sorry. Inbound interest is a good initial signal that there's genuine interest on the other end. It's way better than reaching out. Somewhere between inbound & outbound is maintained relationships you push on.

From having legit inbound interest, you still need to find an executive champion on the acquirer's side who'll spend months pushing through the lawyers, politics, etc, and ideally, has done it before. Not easy. They may not be the person who reached out to you, but they are the one(s) you need to identify, make the bet on, convince, and iterate with as issues arise. If they're senior enough, they can make it Just Happen.

Maybe the perspective here is selling a business is the ultimate big & messy & relationship-heavy enterprise sales process. The process described in the post sounds like the numbers approach of SaaS (outbound reachouts to BD people -> a few conversations -> sell), but not with the messy human parts of enterprise.
-- For example, it's unusual to bring in someone like KPMG due to deal size and risks around disintermediating the owner from the buyer during relationship building. (Individual advisors here are more normal for slightly bigger deals, and they'd have more skin in the game & involvement than a big firm.)
-- As another, was DefCon time hanging out with the CEO or #2 of the company and the champions?

Not easy! The advice I got here is 90-99% of these convs fail, so it's useful to be wary & understand.

> Let me rephrase: many may troubleshoot in dev/staging, but that's not the right thing to do.

Maybe we have a different definition of "troubleshoot". Also, dev and/or staging should have similar data/specs/etc to production.

> Query execution plans can change completely based on data volume and even with the data itself.

Yes. That's why you could have your production server generate/log actual query plans for queries that are causing you problems. You could even set performance (cpu,io,bandwidth,etc) thresholds for your server to log. Of course that's in addition to the profile/monitoring data you have on the server.

> Hence, tuning a query on an environment without production data can lead to query optimizations that are either irrelevant or totally wrong in production. I have seen this countless times in my professional experience.

Well then your issue is that your dev/staging setup is poor. How or what do you even develop, test and troubleshoot? Might as well develop, test and troubleshoot straight on production.

> Since it uses cloning at the volume/fs layer, the size of the database is irrelevant --only the rate of changes matter.

Size still does matters. And as I mentioned, it still has a problem with security.

> No, you cannot, as I mentioned above. It's a waste of effort and can only lead to the false illusion that your query is good --and then beat you in production.

"waste of effort"? Developing, testing, troubleshooting, etc should be done off production. It's only on the rare cases that you should troubleshoot on production. This is best practices and basic security.

Unless you are working on internal office setup which isn't facing the outside world and where security and uptime doesn't matter. Your comment reminds me of people saying using "admin/root" account for everything is fine because everything else is "waste of effort". Do you even have a dev/staging setup? What do you use that for?

Everyone's professional experience is different, but I've never heard anyone claim "many may troubleshoot in dev/staging, but that's not the right thing to do". Not the right thing to do?

In my professional experience, the testing/troubleshooting is done on dev/staging. Once we feel everything is up to snuff, code gets pushed to production. If there are issues on production, we try to replicate it on dev/staging/etc and troubleshoot it. Most of the time, we find the bug/issue. On the rarest of occasions do we have to troubleshoot directly on production which serve our company and especially our clients who have SLAs with us. Your cavalier attitude about production is something I've yet to come across. But if it works for you, then I guess that's all that matters.

How is it "straight up denying the actual problem" when high usage is listed as one of the points? You use your phone a lot, the battery life degrades, and your CPU is throttled because the battery cannot produce sufficient charge to run it at the highest clock rate.

I don't deny your individual experiences at the Apple store, but the claim that Apple denied that battery life can cause phones to slow down remains unsubstantiated.
Quarantining isn't a magic wand. It needs a lot of manpower who is also dedicated. The enforcers in China are communist party members. China can build a 1000bed hospital in 10 days. In America that's the time needed for PowerPoint slides during meetings and money-funneling off it.

Very true. The ones that don't, I don't know what their excuse is.

Maybe they thought they would add performance later. Maybe they pulled in dependencies willy-nilly without truly understanding the problem space. Maybe it's a result of the frantic rush to add features.

Somehow it has become acceptable to keep users waiting for multiple seconds. It's crazy and often unnecessary.

For example, I just built a trivia game PWA[0]. >1MB in size, including ~30 SVG illustrations. 7kb per game. Writing offline mode now, it will add ~1.45mb but only once, at "install" time. It's only MVP but it's already fast.

Whatever the cause, it makes me very frustrated as a user and front ender.
So are you saying we won't do these quarantines simply because we can't?
