Yes?

The problem was not that MongoDB was young, the problem was that authors of it had no idea about databases when they started their work. They stored data in RAM and get fastest benchmarks, because they didn't worry about persisting the data on disk. They outright lied in their documentation about the guarantees.

It wasn't the being early product part, it was the misrepresenting the truth part that hurt their credibility.

DynamoDB for example is much younger than MongoDB, and doesn't suffer from this.
Full Disk Access was added in 10.14 (2018), so it's relatively new.
Yea, but ... due to the visa situation the vast majority of those folks are not getting the maximal courtship, so to speak.

This also mixes HCQ with CQ, which seems odd. CQ has a worse safety record and HCQ is normally preferred.

As a CEO, you should know the Why and What of the product, not necessarily How. Your primary job is to run the company and you cannot get into too much low level details of the product.

Forget large companies. I run a team of 15 and I m technically the CEO (sounds silly when so small) but I already have very less time to get into detailed product reviews etc. I m too busy trying to get new clients, fighting fires with existing clients/infrastructure, working on growth startegy, doing demos and even sometimes addressing disputes and protecting my team.
To further elaborate (since it's the first time I'd heard about this system), the RAT ('Ram air turbine') as used on the A320 is a mechanism for generating power for flight-critical systems during emergencies.

A good default stance to take in situations like this (especially so soon after a tragedy) is that the pilot and crew were likely fully capable and well-aware of what they were doing.

The thing with wifi is that you increasingly need a password to join. If a device comes with its own 4G/5G internet connection, it doesn't need your permission to phone home anymore.

I imagine that the distributed nature of the internet is actually what hurts it in this case - you riot over sports because your team won and the energy is palpable when you go out into the streets to join the crowd. There's less physical location to share this unrest, so it's largely just spent harmlessly online.
There are enough people completely divorced from reality in congress and in and around the presidency that it will potentially get incredibly hairy. I can absolutely see it getting to the absolute brink before they suddenly realize "oh shit this is bad" and pass an emergency "freedom payment" which again will be a one time thing and not be completely enough.

Some people like to use their Cuisinart Grind & Brew instead of an alarm clock. The grinder will wake you up at the programmed time, and if you get up, you are rewarded with freshly ground coffee.
You can get a pretty dumb coffee maker that has a delayed brew setting. You'd have to put the grounds and water in anyway, so the extra effort is pressing a couple buttons on the machine right after you do that, rather than a couple buttons on your phone in the morning.
how many DE did you try? you have a variety of choices now, I would recommend trying a popular one such as Ubuntu / Elementary OS / Linux Mint

You should get a very nice experience out of the box with these, which can be reproduced quite easily with less "bloated" distributions such as Arch or Gentoo if you prefer to install things yourself
That's kind of my point - it's surprising to me that they're shipping slow hardware and software, when they're used to develop that same hardware and software. Developer time is expensive.
I must admit I have grown weary of appending “the country” to every Google search I make related to Georgia.

I'd love for a heavy pilot to comment on the math involved. Fuel burn on takeoff is a lot more than cruise. I'd assume ~3x as much. Throw in the amount of time to fly around a pattern and that 45 minutes doesn't give a lot of flexibility if you start botching landings.
Except all of Apple's other devices are built on macOS. Apple's clear de-prioritization of macOS based on revenue numbers is so insane I can barely believe it's happening. If developers, who use Macs in large numbers today, go to another platform, there's very real risk that their entire empire starts to come apart at the seams. And, this may just be me being naive, but it doesn't seem like that much work to keep macOS going, all they have to do is stop trying to turn it into iOS. They are literally doing a tremendous amount of active engineering work that drives developers away from their platforms.

They are risking their entire empire because (apparently) someone at Apple has an axe to grind with macOS's Unix underpinnings. And until they start getting real consequences (developer's leaving in huge numbers), it doesn't seem like it's going to stop. The tragedy is, if they ever do reach that point, where developers are leaving in huge numbers, it'll be too late. Platforms are a momentum game, you're either going up, or you're going down. And once you're going down, you're as good as dead.

This coupled with the horrible docker 100% cpu usage bug (https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/3499) might be the top reasons why I hate WFH right now. My Linux desktop in office was so much faster at everything (granted its desktop vs laptop but still, it's a laggy mess developing on OSX now)

Which is an even worse option vs the emag. The 1Ghz A53's in that thing make single threaded perf of the emag look look like a speed demon.

I don't know. We should follow whatever procedures we follow when testing any potential new treatment.
Exactly. Especially given the Xcode lock-in nonsense.
Hydroxychloroquine is just ionophore for zinc. It just increases concentration of zinc in cell. Zinc inhibits replication of RNA viruses.

OK, but I wrote those things as "advanced" uses of make because the actual GNU Make Manual is very, very good (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/) and people should read it.

You can have fun at all those levels, jumping back and forth between them at your leisure. Just because you can program a computer to solve a sudoku doesn't mean that you can't enjoy solving one by hand from time to time.

I have seen so many distributed data storages fail in a multitude of ways that i just dont trust anyone anymore. After 2-3 years they may have ironed out most bugs and i can evaluate again whether i do trust their implementation to store my data safely.

Arch Linux does not help with this, unless you make it boot into a VIC-20 emulator or something. Arch can help with boot speed, but once you're booted you're back in a full modern OS. So fine, install VSCode and Python... okay, now you get to figure out libraries. Manage terminals. Arrange a filesystem. This is not getting you closer to the VIC-20 or C64's "boot into BASIC".
I'm using Visible with three strangers (https://www.reddit.com/r/VisiblePartyPay/) to get unlimited everything (including one device tethering) on the Verizon network for $25/mo. I downgraded from regular Verizon which was like $90/mo and other than some setup hiccups haven't noticed a difference.

I’d suggest it’s the other way around and those that suggest Zinc is important need to actually demonstrate that. I’d also suggest a dose of humility if you’re promoting it particularly if you aren’t able to quickly find out what a macrolide is and whether Zinc would be one.

Yes, the Roman calendar called the month "Aprilis". 10/12 of the modern Gregorian names were present in the calendar used by the Roman Republic (~500 BCE). Mark Antony renamed the month of "Quintilis" to "Julius" after Julius Caeser's assassination. The senate renamed "Sextilis" to "Augustus" in 8 BCE to honor Julius's grand-nephew who ruled for 45 years as the first emperor of Rome.

Of course, the Romans didn't use 'BCE' at that time. They referred to years by the consuls who held office that year.
Yes it does. When you pacstrap you include base devel. From that moment onwards your you will have a full programming environment all ready to rock and roll on your installation.

I would have thought the commercial "remasters" mean no open sourcing, but EA is doing both, so I guess not.
I think you could. The hardest part would be the first five years, when I think you benefit from in person learning the most. But if you found a good shop that was 100% remote and could support newer developers, I think you'd do fine.

You could consider the subject through the perspective of, say, David Petraeus:

No, although `pacman -Syu python base-devel` isn't exactly a burden. But then what? If you're trying to get back to a simple "turn on computer, land in simple programming environment", how does it help that you have python and gcc available? You still have to manage libraries, learn to use a compiler, and all the other joys of modern development. The only thing Arch Linux gained you was a bit simpler OS and maybe better boot times.
Having been through the experience of "large" financial loss (though not to the point of going hungry), I can attest that it changes the way you think about the world, your role in society, who you trust, etc. I wouldn't necessarily discount the idea of dramatic change of behavior if a lot of people get desperate enough.
My understanding, is that even with COL adjustment most people are actually saving just as much money after expenses as they did on the SV salary. Granted it's just anecdotal (and mostly from HN).
Thing is, for the early stage development or prototyping, where JSON to SQL is most praised for, to be completely honest, I don't write good migrations either.

I change the application code, trigger the cli to generate the sql migration and be done with it. In 99% of cases I don't even look at the generate file, I don't write specific migration tests, etc. If migration runs without error and the application tests pass in development and staging there is a good chance it will as well in production or auto rollback saving my ass.

This works until it doesn't and you have to become much more vigilant. But at that point I much rather build upon the relative robustness and consistency of the sql I got so far, than JSON that is all over the place.

Maybe it's my tooling, but almost every time I made a JSON column in Postgres for the sake of saving time in the past, it slowed me down almost immediately after adding it.

I guess I was just clarifying that the OP makes a comment implying "Epic made a game engine and blockbuster game all with smaller staff".. but the blockbuster game kind of.. takes away from the point because it already existed. the comment stands stronger simply on the fact that Epic made a better game engine with a smaller staff.
If everyone knew that debt resets were to happen, the contracts in the 49th year would likely be only for small things.

It's a shame this conversations always has to split into either of two camps: dogmatically for standardized testing or against it. It's almost as if there's no awareness that perhaps it could be beneficial to try both, perhaps where it's appropriate, and see what the outcome is. Just like not every company uses whiteboard interviews.

What’s a little frustrating with the Xilinx parts listed on Digi-Key, and to some extent other FPGA vendors, is the lack of any price breaks.

I looked up a random i.MX6 processor from NXP. It’s $32.08 for one of them, and $20.95 per part when you get a reel of 500. If you need a few thousand units made, it’s perfectly reasonable to order parts from Digi-Key. You might be overpaying compared to what a good purchasing person can get you, but it’s fine for a few thousand parts, and quick and easy.

Look up any Xilinx part on Digi-Key, and there’s just a single price break at 1 unit. Even Lattice parts only go up to price breaks of 100.
Hi there.

So, I wrote this. I'm the original author. I'm amznymous (still proud of that username)

It's wild to see this pop-up at the top of HackerNews 5 years later, but I'd be more than happy to answer any questions anyone has.

I'm still at Amazon and have been on a couple of different teams since then, but this was definitely written at my lowest time at Amazon. I've had low times since then and high ones as well.

I'm still an SDE II but on-track to become SDE III soon.

I've interviewed elsewhere but was either unimpressed with the company (Facebook) or the company was not impressed enough with me and asked to try again later (Google). Facebook interviewers all looked absolutely exhausted and stressed and lifeless. They zoned out in the interview and just in general left a bad taste.

One low point was when I found out (years after 2015) that the whole project that I had brutalized myself over was shutdown. Deleted. Scrapped. All of it.

It was devastating and cathartic. I've become a bit more balanced, jaded, and care-free since then. Not totally, but just a bit.

It's all just code. It's all just business and sometimes the business fails and everything you did doesn't matter anyway.

I'm still glad I wrote the paste, if it helped one person out there. Based on reddit responses, I wasn't the only one going through this.

=============================

Since then things that help:

0. Get that "Fuck You Money" I pinched pennies and followed Dave Ramsey's approach to get 100% debt free and thriving to ensure I never was locked in as I felt I was.

1. Being absolute about my sleep schedule.

2. Finding a good team. When you find a good team/manager, stick with it. Manager matters 10x more than the company

3. Therapy. duh

4. "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl

5. "The Depression Cure" by Ilardi. This is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for therapy or medication. ONLY use it as a supplement . The tl;dr is take care of your body or your mind will pay the price.

6. Soft skills: developing skills on how to provide estimates, pushing back on deadlines, and finding compromises between what business wants and what's feasible. It sounds obvious, but sometimes it really is just as easy as saying "that will take 2 weeks, what can be cut?"
