It depends on how much your dignity is worth to you. You couldn't pay me to lick Bezos's boots, and I don't think any person should be expected to do so. Apparently you hold yourself in less esteem than I do.
It's also worth noting that for a paper from the collaboration to have to got to the preprint stage it will have gone through a very strict internal review process with several layers.

Source: I working in the LHCb collaboration for several years.
The paper resolves the controversy with the Easter Island (Rapa Nui) population. After colonization, the population from Chile mixed with the population from Rapa Nui. This paper conclusively shows that a 1200 AD (i.e. pre-colonization) event occurred on one of the eastern Polynesian islands before Polynesians settled Easter Island. The "hub" island radiation starts in the natural east-to-west currents. The Rapa Nui admixture is from Chile but the pre-colonization admixture is from Columbia and it is found throughout eastern Polynesia along with the South American sweet potato.

It is not known whether Polynesians sailed to Columbia/Ecuador and back or if South American natives sailed to Polynesia. A fisherman blown off course doesn't fit with the spread of the sweet potato and gourds, but who knows. The there-and-back-again narrative fits the Polynesian practice of exploring upwind/up-current and allowing the wind/current to help you get back. I use the same safety technique when canoeing and diving.

Well, then stop! Delete all the tests right now and do it however you want to do it.

The thing about testing that never really gets talked about it is, what's the penalty for regressions? What's the consequences if you ship a bug so bad the whole system stops working?

Well, if you're building a thing that's doing hundreds of millions in revenue, that might be a big deal. But you? You're a team of one! You rollback that bad deploy and basically no one cares!

Your customers certainly don't care if you ship bugs. If it was something important enough where they REALLY cared, they wouldn't be using a company of one person.

So, go for it. Dismiss tests until you get to a point where you fear deploying because of the consequences. Then add the bare minimum of e2e tests you need to get rid of that fear, and keep shipping.

Separating needs and wishes would be a good start. Security and dignity would serve as nice starting points imo. Then, we could argue over the rest, but we're not there. Most people - in the US anyway - see everything as something to fight for, and if you fight for more than you need while others are unable to fight for what they need - or fight well enough to get what they need - it just means you're winning.
You spell out your question like a human being, to treat the other human being with respect.
I think it's telling that his first hypothesis for why Barnes & Noble was getting more positive reviews was that they were paying for them. Honestly, my first thought was "maybe they're just asking more customers". I wonder if he thought that the competitor was doing something shady because he'd been put on the spot and so his first response was instinctively the most defensive one.
Since the early 90's I've argued that banks should join forces and make a phone or at least a chip for a phone. I talk with a few banking people not to low on their food chain but they didn't understand it at all:

Phone companies are doing transactions per second which requires them to replicate a bank. It might be that you can only buy one thing today (calls) prepaid phones are ordinary bank accounts and phone contracts are credit cards. Where do you, as a banker, think this is going to go eventually? To add to this insanity [I added], you have a 0.50 cent per minute help line. You are already using their bank to sell support to your customers. Hundreds of guilders are transferred per person from your accounts to your competitor every month! Compare the service level: If I don't use the phone often enough they steal my money and close my account!

Over the many years that followed I got properly robbed by phone companies multiple times and hear at least 30 crazy stories from people I know. Schemes not even the greediest banker could dream up. They would go to prison fast.

Pricing is very important. There's a reason a lot of manufactures won't allow a company to discount their prices. If my discount pizza shop who usually sells a large cheese pie for $8 gets a reputation for selling a large cheese pie for $15, it could negatively effect branding. The $8 pie place doesn't want to compete with gourmet pizza shops, and a way they do that is by pricing. Having someone inflate your prices without consent could put your restaurant out of business.

Wow, we complain about the immediacy of Twitter and FB, yet Zweig was already feeling too plugged-in in the mid-twentieth:

"In times of catastrophe former generations could revert to isolation and remoteness; it was reserved for us to have to know and to co-sense whatever evil happened on our globe at the moment of its occurrence. No matter how far I withdrew from Europe, its fate accompanied me. Landing one night in Pernambuco, under the Southern Cross, dark-skinned people in the streets, I read on a news placard of the bombing of Barcelona and of the execution of a Spanish friend with whom, a few months before, I had spent some pleasant hours. Once in a Pullman car between Houston and another Texas city I suddenly became aware of loud, mad shouting in German: a fellow-passenger had innocently tuned the train radio to Germany’s wave length and in consequence I had to listen to one of Hitler’s inflammatory speeches while the train rolled along the Texas plains. There was no escape, not by day, not by night; always I was in a torment of anxiety about Europe and about Austria within Europe."

I would be happy if one could once again board planes without doffing shoes, but Zweig remembers even more frictionless travel:

"Before 1914 the earth had belonged to all. People went where they wished and stayed as long as they pleased. There were no permits, no visas, and it always gives me pleasure to astonish the young by telling them that before 1914 I travelled from Europe to India and to America without passport and without ever having seen one."

"When those of us who had once conversed about Baudelaire’s poetry and spiritedly discussed intellectual problems met together, we would catch ourselves talking about affidavits and permits and whether one should
apply for an immigration visa or a tourist visa;
a stenographer in a consulate who could cut down one’s waiting-time was more significant to one’s existence than friendship with a Toscanini or a Rolland."
The important bit for NAS is redundancy. If you can afford 2+ of these drives to run in RAID1, RAID5 or RAID10, then go on ahead.

For me personally, my 5TB x 2 RAID1 (ZFS really, so mirrored) configuration with 5TB usable is enough for my personal uses. If I need more space, I'll configure my ZFS with +2 HDDs for another pair worth of space+redundancy.

Intel designed Thunderbolt as a technology, but they had it working over optical connections (called “lightpeak”). Apple and Intel got it to work over copper wire, and Apple have been heavily invested in it ever since.

It’s Intel’s technology at this point, but Apple have some 50 or so patents on Thunderbolt technology. They probably have a reasonable case for being obstreperous if Intel tried to play hardball about licensing or availability.

More is not better. Repair time gets slower as the ratio for transport speed to capacity gets lower and lower. This means that more file pieces can be lost during the longer repair window resulting in possible data loss.

Keep in mind that when people calculate lifetimes and repairs they usually assume that drive failures are independent. Given that they are installed at the same time and usually from the same manufacturer and bought at the same time (e.g. same batch), it's not great to assume that all these things are independent.

Bad practice to assume your ethos is the only one at play.

I'd hardly call taking a look at _where_ people are coming from to view your Github profile a "vanity" thing. A view of referrers could be extremely useful in tuning one's developer presence and visibility. That could come in handy when job-seeking, or trying to spread the word about your services and/or company. Both of which Github is widely used for.
There is not, mostly because nothing is “in it”; any persistent state is farmed out to localstorage or gists, as far as I know.

In my experience it's the pro-unit-testing people who are more likely to be anti-type safety people. The argument against type safety typically goes something like this:

I already have to write unit tests so why would I bother with types they don't add any real value.

Both camps are wrong. Unit tests are an unambiguous good. Types are also an unambiguous good. Both have some rather common failure modes though and guarding against those failure modes is useful.

Unit tests of purely functional code where you only need to provide an input and validate an output provide tremendous value. The unit test can treat the code as a black box and as a result the unit test is robust and resilient to changes in the black box while verifying that the box still produces the correct answer. Unit tests of code with hidden dependencies that need to be mocked require a lot more care to construct properly. Mock scripting frameworks encourage a number of bad habits. Things like "How many times did this method get called". Or "Always provide the same answer when this method get's called." The result is a hundred reimplementations of the same interface that are at best correct for the current version of the code they are testing and at worst completely incorrect reimplementations of whatever they are mocking. They all need to be kept in sync and maintained over time.

A shared in memory Fake will in general provide more value and be less fragile over time while also ensuring that your tests are actually testing the code and not the particular script you defined for the mock.

> I'm reticent to think that redis search has managed to make them ok at the first try.

Your example doesn't really match the reality of Redis. Modules in Redis can bring their own data types and algorithms and don't need to resort to the same kind of hack you mentioned. The ecosystem inside Redis is designed for modularity and clear, minimalistic interfaces between components.

RediSearch might not be perfect, but any problem will stem from a different set of causes, not because it tries to "emulate" a data model.

The whole point of Redis is not having to emulate data types and algorithms.
