If gathering the profiling data costs too much, the results are completely useless. Especially relevant is all the quirky side effects like cache pressure.

Seems to be some suggestions now that apps were continuing to crash even after commenting out the FB implementation because FB is managing to do remote API calls just because the framework is linked.

> I really don't understand why it is still crashing when we turn it off? Could you please explain, why there is a remote connection even we comment out the implementation? Linking binary framework just enough to break things down, why? What do you do in background? Sending or receiving some data even it's not been initialized?
RubyMine can become a resource hog - even when it's not acting up the VSCode responsiveness is a noticeable improvement for me (and I'm working on a i9 MBP with 32gb ram !) - for example code refreshes analysis hints and opens autocomplete much faster.

I don't trust any refactoring tool to do cross file refactoring correctly in JS/TypeScript and the code navigation stuff in VSCode has been rock solid for me - I don't really miss anything and it's a much faster environment to work in - if I just had to do JS/TS development I could switch without any issues.

Cookies were introduced as a hack to allow sessions. When HTTP/2 was being proposed phk raised this issue and asked why they didn't use this as an opportunity to make real fixes to http warts like this and eliminate cookies[1]. But given that it was pushed by Google, which didn't mind them, this of course was ignored.

A company which:

1. Does "security" critical stuff (like affecting the security of people not data if breached)

2. Which besides certain kinds of breaches has lowish requirements to performance and reliability (short outages of a view minutes are not a big problems, even outages of half a day or so can be coped with)

3. Slightly paranoid founders, with a good amount of mistrust into any cloud company.

4. Founders and tech-lead which have experience in some areas but toughly underestimate the (time)cost of managing servers them self, and that _kinda_ hard to do secure by yourself (wrt. long term DDOS and similar).

So was it a good reason? Probably not. But we still went with it.

As a site note while we did not use the could _we didn't physically manage server either_. Instead we had some dedicated hardware in some compute center in Germany which they did trust. So no "physical" managements securing etc. needed and some DDOS and network protection by default. Still we probably could have it easier without losing anything.

On the other side if you have a dedicated server hardware in some trusted "localish" compute center it's not _that_ bad either to manage.

Manufacturing. The cost to a factory if the internet is down is too great. Each facility has its own highly redundant virtualization infrastructure hosting 50 to 100 VMs.
Tech company CEOs this week
Yes. Why? Cost, availability, flexibility, bandwidth. For a lot of companies, on-prem servers are the best solution for efficiency and cost.

One great example. We were paying $45k/yr for a hosted MS Dynamics GP solution. For $26k we brought it in house with only a $4k/yr maintenance fee. We bought a rackmount Dell, put on VMWare, have an app VM and a DB VM. My team can handle basic maintenance. In the past 11 months we haven't had to touch that server once. We have an automated backup, pulls VMs out daily and sends them off to Backblaze. Even if we need to call our GP partner for some specialized problem, it's not $45k/yr in consulting costs.

We had a bunch of Azure servers for Active Directory and a few other things. When I came in 2 years ago I set up new on-prem DC VMs, and killed out absurd Azure monthly bill, we were saving money by month three. A meteor could take out Atlanta and the DCs are our satellite offices would handle the load just fine until we restored from backups and we'd STILL save money. We've had MORE uptime and reliability since then too.

If I have a server go down, we have staff to get on it immediately, no toll free number to dial, no web chat to a level 1 person in India, etc.

Our EMR is hosted, because that's big enough that I want to pay someone to be in control over it, and someone to blame. However, there have been many times where I'm frustrated with how they handle problems, and jumping from one EMR to another is not easy. And in the end they're all bad anyway. Sometimes I DO wish we were self hosted.

The Cloud is just someone else's computer. If they're running those machines more cheaply than you are, they're cutting out some cost. The question is, do you need what they're cutting?
Cost-wise is still a pretty compelling argument.
Interesting that one of them is from Taiwan.

> so they implemented what they thought was the intention of the law

No, they didn't. They implemented something that they thought allows them to continue with the practices that the law was specifically designed to combat.

The user has very little motivation to accept tracking. The web site has a lot of motivation to track the user (because personalized ads = more money).

Thus, web sites make saying no as difficult as possible, while making saying yes as easy as possible.

A 100% compliant, user-friendly implementation would be showing non-personalized ads, then occasionally replacing one of those ads with a banner "want to receive ads that are actually relevant? click here to enable personalized ads" (which would lead to an informed consent dialog and set a cookie that would then apply to all web sites that use that ad provider).

But pop-ups coercing the user to consent are more profitable.

This could be fixed by enforcing the actual law (punishing the companies that tried to weasel out of it and processed data without valid consent) so that trying to weasel out of it is no longer a valid strategy.

I'm going to keep repeating this until people understand the risks: Opening up too early without adequate testing in place means we go through the same problem that Hokkaido did. Which is that you get a second wave of infections and are forced to back into lockdown.

As for the article itself: Reopening the country wouldn't fix that either because it's a catch-22 situation. The people most at risk of dying from COVID-19 don't want to go to the hospital because of the risk. So they put off emergencies until it's too late. You don't solve this problem by reopening the country because the fear and the risk for said people is still there.

My parents are a great example. They have breathing issues which makes them especially at risk. They're afraid of getting routine tests done because catching the coronavirus could be very deadly.

Perhaps this outage will raise awarenesses more broadly as to the prevalence of "non essential" third party SDKs like these, and the risk that their failure can significantly impact on the wider ecosystem.

I can't imagine Apple will be all too pleased by this. Perhaps time for them to look at clamping down on SDKs that make remote network requests? (Given they have their own private sign in system now as well, they might even have a secondary incentive)
The idea that science education is profoundly and pervasively dysfunctional.

It was a slowly accumulating realization. There was Feynman's critique of rote memorization in Brazil[1], but ok, Brasil isn't CaTech. And Mexico high-school graduates having TIMSS scores similar to US high-school dropouts, but oh well, that's Mexico. And news media have a trope, like "Harvard MBA students don't know what causes Earth seasons", but that's merely misunderstanding the nature of expertise -- if someone last studied a topic in middle school, then a middle-school-like understanding shouldn't come as a surprise. Similarly for grad and undergrad, professors and grad school. MIT and Harvard graduates being unable to light a bulb with a battery and wire[2], that seemed more bizarre. But by the time I saw Eric Mazur's (Harvard, intro physics) "it became clear that in spite of high evaluations, and in spite of good performance, my students were not really learning very much"[3], it didn't come as a surprise. Though it could still felt odd, for a time. Talking with first-tier medical school graduate students, with no clue how big blood cells are, beyond "really really small". Asking first-tier astronomy graduate students, "a five-year old asks you 'I'm told the Sun is a big hot ball [...] what color is the ball?'"... and of the very few who didn't get it wrong, half-ish learned it as "common misconceptions in astronomy education", rather from their own, atypically extensive and successful education. A follow-up of "what color is sunlight?" repeatedly produces these cute, not "aha!", but "uh oh" moments... the "that doesn't make sense, does it..." of two conflicting bits of unintegrated knowledge colliding for the first time. I no longer find it even slightly odd when a physical sciences gradate student tells me the Sun doesn't have a color, or is rainbow color. A person's understanding very rapidly becomes ramshackle as they move beyond their active research focus. And education content is pervasively authored beyond that. Far far beyond. Chemistry education research describes chemistry education content using adjectives like "incoherent". To be fair, rote education in Brasil and elsewhere achieves... something, some societal value. And ours does too, and more of it. But now when I occasionally encounter someone who thinks of science education as working... it's become an exercise of empathy and imagination to picture how that might be a plausible description of the world.

[3] Eric Mazur's "Confessions[...]" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwslBPj8GgI&t=920
The thing worth mentioning is that becoming a famous author and writing quality books are different goals, achieved through different means. Cynically, I would say that they're unrelated, but in reality I'd say writing quality books is one avenue towards becoming a famous author but likely the least reliable one. Similarly, getting rich writing books is also another separate goal, which can also be achieved without the other two.

Thus, I disagree that goals like "becoming a famous author" entirely out of your control. There are definite steps one could take towards such a goal, but as with anything in life there's never a guarantee. Granted, you do have less control over the outcome if your goal depends on other people, like becoming famous, but those steps still exist and could include things like networking extensively, spending a lot of time self-promoting, polishing your image, hanging out with the rich and famous, etc.

The problem, I think, is that a lot of people tend to think that goals like "becoming a famous author" and "writing good books" are the same, or that the latter will automatically lead to the former, and when they figure out that the strategies for getting there are different they become disillusioned.

You're right, gross is a strong word. I don't mean to bash a dev who is producing something they are passionate about while at the same time providing a service to others.

What I will say is that that over-incentivizing active commit histories leads to weird market solutions like this one. The problem isn't a product that populates your commit history for a fee, the problem is an over reliance on arbitrary GitHub commits as a proxy for developer talent.

Yes but we still have many OP systems on the floor (see the link above).
Spotify is a web app, that is wrapped into clients on different platforms. The app is constantly pinging googletagservices.com, edgesuite.net, fbcdn.net, fbsbx.com, google.com, googlesyndication.com and doubleclick.net, however you are using the app. It doesn't matter if you only listen to one, unshared, downloaded playlist. Constant tracking.
I was just oversimplifying but the core idea remains. You should take pride in your work whether you are on your own boss or work for one. But sometimes taking your own idea from 0 to fruition gives you a special kind of pride. The "I wore all the hats and made it" kind. And indeed, the right people will notice regardless of where you are.
Sure... but at least they're not using the cloud! Just a whole bunch of servers!

Wholeheartedly agree. I think AWS is moving in the right direction with Lightsail[0], which is a service very similar to DO droplets and includes transfer. Nice if you want to use AWS for like one or two other services, but I tend to still go with DO for small things.

The Internet is a DARPA research project that was designed to keep on being useful even if huge chunks of it were destroyed in a nuclear attack.

I think people who have no experience managing servers dramatically overestimate how much time it takes to manage servers. Depending on your team, it can definitely be easier to manage your own hardware than to manage your cloud infrastructure.
