Recently implemented datadog at a large financial organisation - it does well at focusing on its core features. We had to create a lot of glue to make it enterprise ready - Active directory sync due to it not supporting groups, permission model is poor. If you wanted anything done raise a support ticket rather than with your sales contact too.
I doubt it would help, since it is increasingly common for POTS traffic to simply be routed over the Internet, so an Internet shutoff would also affect phone service.
People downvoting you but it's the truth. Watch how media is lying about her being African American. She's Indian and Jamaican and family owned slaves - doesn't matter to me but it does matter a lot to the current left.
I'm not sure what exactly your flow was here. Did you come from a specific feed? In that case the back button (ALT+Left) should work(?)

We will probably make the title of the feed within the post a link to the feed though. We can't have people getting lost like that. :)
Yeah, and if I'm following all this correctly, part of the basis for the US court rulings is that the Ecuadorian court-appointed experts found that Texaco (now part of Chevron) had in fact remediated the first few sites that were inspected, and that the lawyer in question apparently got around this by using extremely dubious methods to get the court to cancel the remaining inspections and appoint a single "independent" expert instead who secretly let the plaintiffs write their report. The "controversial discovery process" seems to have turned up a whole bunch of e-mails and video records of this happening, and if I'm understanding the ruling correctly, Donziger even admitted to a lot of this in his own testimony and depositions to the US courts.

I'm no legal expert, but I'm pretty sure it's a bad sign when your attorney doesn't want documents disclosed to the court because "the effects are potentially devastating in Ecuador (apart from destroying the proceeding, all of us, your attorneys, might go to jail)"... and then that e-mail gets obtained by the court.
What do you do when the black box doesn't work?

Almost everything I work with has bugs, so chances are I'm going to run into one. It's a lot easier for me to fix bugs when there are fewer layers and more of them are written by me. Of course, I can't write all the layers, but if they run on my service, I have to be prepared to fix them, or suffer from them being broken until a benevolent force fixes them for me. (Sometimes that happens, but usually not for the harder problems)
Most definitely both. But we, flawed, humans tend to think in black vs white
Pretty much last 5 years of my career
I highly doubt js engines would compile a string down to a linked list. But you're right they might compile it to a circular buffer or deque which can have O(1) prepends.

Quick googling shows that this optimization might exist but only for firefox and only if you use "unshift":
https://lannonbr.com/blog/2020-01-27-shift-optimizations

But it's very unlikely that the jit can optimize `str = ch + str;`
I've never seen any indication that anyone wants Mozilla to fail.

But after seeing several years of repeated strategic blunders and bad management, and Firefox slip from being the most popular web browser by a comfortable margin to a single digit percentage market share, which is still sliding down, I think the available evidence shows that they have failed quite badly, and for the most part through problems of their own making. Now, I'd like to use Firefox again, but they have regain strong technical focus first. They are all over the place doing irrelevant stuff. I'm surprised they even have that many staff to lay off in the first place given their financial situation. There must be a large percentage of non-jobs amongst that thousand, because they certainly weren't all dedicated to making a good web browser.
I don't remember the actual statistic, so I'll lowball, but in an internal audit the TSA did not catch 70+% of contraband that was intentionally brought through security by the auditors.
Firefox Bottom UI Theme
While I was getting ready to reply and say that most of my comments in this thread talking about the CEO were meant as general comments not referring to a specific Mozilla CEO, I went and read the Wikipedia Page for Mitchell Baker, so while you are correct that she took over from Chris Beard as CEO, there is also this bit of history to consider:

> When the Mozilla Corporation was launched as a taxable subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation on August 3, 2005, Baker was named the CEO of the new entity. In addition, she joined the Mozilla Corporation's Board of Directors, though she also kept her seat on the Mozilla Foundation's board, as well as her role as Chairperson.

In 2014, she wrote this piece[0] (while she was not CEO, but Chair), justifying putting ads in Firefox.

[0] - https://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2014/02/13/content-ads-cauti...

It appears that she has been setting the direction at Mozilla for a really long time, CEO or not.
How often do you believe this really happens in practice? And does that truly outweigh the benefit of being able to define a precise contract on your APIs?

How many times have you written a function and a version later said "Oh, wait. I guess I don't actually need that required Foo parameter! I used to, but now I don't!"
I would be fine if not everything is in the browser honestly. However the number of packages should be a slim amount to mimic how minimalist Chromebooks can be closely.
> nor even JavaScript itself was designed for web development

Javascript was designed for web development of the 90s. It evolved along with web development.
I'd argue that cob in particular spans across the range from build-it-yourself Womble homes to fancy schmancy eco-bourgeois. And that it's mainly access to land and planning permission that's blocking the former (or causing them to be bulldozed by busybodies). It genuinely is one of the rare few building materials that can be prepared from materials on site and put up by amateurs.
Now that would make a cool review, interested in that setup!
> It's a pain trying to filter them out of the rest of the 100 varieties.

Arguably, shops specifically design themselves to do things like this. When I was growing up, it used to drive my dad mad that the local supermarket would move almost literally everything around seemingly at random "to prevent shoplifting". He was a pilot, and usually had little time -- he liked to go into supermarket, grab x, pay, and leave. Suddenly, that stoped working, as finding x became increasingly difficult. It really annoyed him. For a long time the floor manager said that they moved their stock around to prevent shoplifting – until one day the store manager, when asked the same question, said it was "to promote footfall". Suddenly the real reason became clear.

>Another thing I would like to do is compare products by price/quanity. Maybe I'm trying to get the most protein/$, or oz/$, etc. You could also hook it into some database to only show you ethically caught fish, organic projects, fair trade products, local products, etc.

In the UK at least, all of this information is required to be printed on the label: product per unit money on the shop label and misery per unit product on the product's label.

Are you asking for a filter / search engine for that on top? Either way, I don't think your average supermarket would let that stay un-advertised for too long. Products at eyeball level pay a premium to be there.
Wow. Sumo costs are usually 75-80% of Splunk. Does this allow DataDog to take the crown for “sales rep most likely to arrive in a Bentley?”
I think a good option for domestic flights is a passport card. Getting the card at your next renewal, or early, is not expensive or difficult.
I wonder if this article from Kinfolk was found by the OP after reading the recent article posted here about the Three Bay Areas, which used Kinfolk as an example of a snobbish lifestyle magazine, and went to check it out. I for one have never heard of Kinfolk until that article.
Depends on the sales guys, I guess. We set a hard budget limit and then harassed support and sales to keep us within this limit.

Anyway. We used Datadog for almost half a year already. Looks like they are overcomplicating their offer to the point of no-return.

Time to look for the next market disruptor.
We anticipated that question :)

RudderStack is focusing on replacing Segment.com completely, we focus only on a part of the problem: getting events to DWH. Also, we don't have a UI.

By narrowing down the focus, we think we can do a better job sending data to DWHs. One example: we automatically create SQL schema based on JSON structure. You can send

{
"any": {
"custom": "a",
"field": "b"
}
}

To EventNative and we'll create any_custom and any_field columns in DWH table on a fly.
> Safari

Safari is Safari (WebKit). On iOS everything is Safari (WebKit).

iOS is probably, actually, our last chance for a major second browser engine.

(Safari on Mac is of course WebKit as well, and I use it and love it, but I would guess it's a rounding error compared to WebKit on iOS...)
Or made naturally on terrestrial planets (Radon's colored brown).
It looks like barely faster than Pandas?
Very true and confusing
I use Firefox. I have used it since it was called Phoenix, and I still use it today, extensively, on macOS, Linux, and Windows.

I'm just disappointed about what Mozilla has become over the years. It wasn't supposed to be an "agile" tech company, with slick marketing and UI/UX, making deals to try to get market share.

It was supposed to be a non-profit foundation, making an open-source cross-platform browser engine, pushing for open protocols and standards. It enabled a few niche open-source operating systems to have a viable browser, it put a big dent in IE's market share, I would say it paved the way for Safari on iOS to be viable way back in 2009, and that obviously changed the world.

It still could have done that. It was making 100s of millions of dollars per year from the default search provider deal, for over a decade. It could have saved most of that money, spending it only on 50 to 100 browser engineers. Branching out to MDN and websocket or webrtc libraries would also make sense. But the rest of the crap, the marketing, the rebranding, the Pocket purchase and integration, Firefox OS, the voice recognition and AI stuff (and notice the announcement, they're keeping the AI division, really need that part apparently), stuff that nobody remembers, that's all a waste of money that could be saved by the non-profit foundation to just support the low-level engine keeping the open web viable.
Where are signatures for these binaries published?
Banks basically break even on interchange after paying out awards and security costs and then the merchant acquirer + network get like .2% - 1% depending on the size of the merchant. V/M is one of the most benign duopolies out there.
This is a previous thread about something similar that happened a few months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22057737

Here is Bernie in 2015 saying against open borders saying it was a rightwing proposal:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf-k6qOfXz0

https://youtu.be/McKI1gfoeaY

Now he's fully onboard with open border policies. He doesn't even have the same message he did 5 years ago. Just like his twitter history shows him tweeting about evil millionaires and billionaires until he became a millionaire himself and now only targets billionaires.
I've been running a mailing list for 5 years now, and one of the most requested features is an RSS feed https://github.com/umaar/dev-tips-tracker/issues/9

I always assumed RSS was dying out, but it's clear there's still a large audience for it, so I will be implementing it.

I've been wondering if there'll be a noticeable drop in mailing list subscribers, which in turn leads to less email sponsorships. Open rates + mailing list size are all that companies seem to care about when deciding to sponsor you.

But anyway I'd rather support users in consuming my content however they prefer, and figure out monetization options when it comes to that.
This is interesting, because I had this issue. In one java lib I wrote, I needed to build an URL, so I naively pulled apache http common URL builder, got it done in one line, and went on.

But a few time later, I realized (well someone reported an issue) that depending on the android version, it would break. My first reflex was to try to bundle just what I wanted using some graddle class renaming plugin, it was a nightmare.

Then I just realized how stupid and lazy I had become, being able to just pull dependency for anything made me forgot I could just write the code.

In the end I dropped the dependency and wrote what I needed myself.

Your flawed assumption-by-framing is that all of Firefox's power users are "techie" / "computer-savvy" / "hacker" power users, which is definitely not true for other products, and likely isn't true for Firefox either.
It seems it hasn't received a blog post/entry in the release history yet
Branded as such? What? I'm constantly pestered by messaging which is telling me to get involved in these issues. The point is, I care, but I have more pressing issues to work on. Yes, my family members getting harrassed because of their skin color is an issue that affects me, but if I am getting kicked out of my apartment for not paying the rent then it is not an issue I can spend time or money on. Even if I did spend time or money on these 'one percenter' issues, the negative impact to my life would be great while my contribution would have a negligible impact on the issue.

I have no time to virtue signal by participating in meaningless social activism. I will help individuals where I can because that is somewhere where I can meaningfully affect change with my actions.

Maybe it's my age. Maybe I'm cynical, I don't know. I used to care about these things. I bought a crappy house in a crappy neighborhood to save gas. I wasted money on a solar panel system. I planted native plants, composted and grew my own fruits and vegetables. I was worse off for it, and no change came from it. If I managed to save any resources, they were quickly consumed by some other wasteful excess of society.

Unless your activism is effective, it is useless. It is basically religion at that point.
I get it that the US federal government has been antagonizing the world on overdrive for the past ~4 years, but as an "insider" I really don't understand how you arrived at any of these conclusions. The very notion of "collective psyche" is entirely nonsensical in the US as there is almost nothing that is very broadly agreed-upon.

Now of course I'm particularly opinionated about Mozilla, since I donate regularly to the foundation, subscribe to their VPN, contribute to the Rust ecosystem, and use Firefox not only on desktop but mobile as well. So, perhaps I live in what might be called a bubble, but the idea that anybody would knock Mozilla because they are not profit-driven just doesn't make sense to me, and is actually the complete opposite of what I got from reading the comments in this thread, which, by the way, probably has decent international representation anyway.
There's still only so many trees that we can have on earth at once, as past a certain point, some trees would have to die in order to either have physical space or nutrients to grow new ones. Which would be zero sum...

It's the same with everything. When you're not at your limits of your ecosystem - things aren't zero sum. However once you do hit your limits, things become zero sum.

You even see this with businesses. Industries go through a growth phase. In the startup-growth-adoption phase, all businesses in that industry can grow. However, once market matures and reaches saturation, businesses struggle to grow or change. The only significant way mature businesses can grow larger at that point, is via mergers and acquisitions of other businesses.
Scroll down a bit, they're on that page.
Sure but almost all interchange flows right back to the consumer via cash rewards
I don’t really understand stock splits. Is the only point to allow people to buy shares who could previously not buy because one share was too expensive? If so, why not just introduce fractional shares into the stock market with some fixed point number of decimal places? Or just keep track of ownership fraction (e.g. 0.0043% of the company)?
Yeah the message was always to get tested if you had any symptoms but that may not have always happened in practice. There was sentinel testing of border workers, but not widespread testing of the asymptomatic public.

If they can’t definitively contact-trace the origin of this family’s infection, then we’re probably going to have to lock down for two transmission cycles, ~4 weeks. That would be disappointing and difficult. We’re in the middle of an election campaign cycle right now, so I hope that doesn’t strain our unity.
I'm sorry, what you're describing as the authorisation required for voting or for going to the bank doesn't match my experience of reality.

Banks do not just require an address and ID card, and voting does not require anything more than an address.

Almost all your comments on everything are downvoted so I'm guessing you're a troll and I'm going to ignore you.
Serious question: how would a satellite ISP know where a user is located? Moreover, how can a satellite ISP ensure that its signals are not entering a particular country, especially a geographically small country?
I’m in the same situation in NY. One solution is to use a passport or passport card if you have one.

It's all actually git. And you can start a local repo without calli g to GitHub. You can just use it in half the time it takes to have this discussion.

I mean that's not really power if your staff quits on you after you do that. If you want to be able to pull off those sorts of pivots successfully, you need your coworkers to respect your competence and judgement.
Yes, and also finer grained control in general even for larger portfolios. Almost like increasing the resolution.
I'm not sure what tech you're planning to use, but if you use Zoom, they have a webinar mode where you can allow "panelists". The panelists can talk and interact, and everyone else is view only.
Fractional shares are already a thing on many brokerage platforms.
I assume watching the repositories you want to monitor and checking your Github feed on the homepage is not working for you. If so, what exactly is missing?
It depends on whether the reader feels diversity should be reduced to a PR tool and a mechanism of distraction, which seems disconnected from whether you’re for or against diversity as a goal for the organization. In fact, I’d think both folks for and against it would find this reductive usage onerous at best.

I have to agree. I think DNS adblocking off a Raspberry Pi is the best. Unfortunately a power loss screwed up my Pis SD card.
Sounds like a regurgitation of the interview of Dr Andrew Huberman on Rich Will's podcast. Look it up on YouTube.
> I may be rapidly downvoted but what strikes me as an outsider (reading most of the comments in this thread) is the collective psyche in the US is viscerally against any entity rising to the top that does not have profit as its sole goal.

One of the things I like about non-managed languages is the ability to have true destructors. Releasing resources is awkward at best in Java, et al.
To be clear, you're talking about the function signature changing from

fn(a: int)

to

fn(a: Option<int>)

?

Technically, yes, all callers would have to update, but practically, you'd just define

fn(a: int) { fn_2(Some(a)) }

to avoid the breakage. That is, you're essentially telling the compiler how to loosen the requirements. Ergonomically, this seems rather fine. Especially if this means you gain (some) protections from the much more problematic case of restricting the requirements.
Fine. Push TSA into non-public roles and give airport security back to the airports/airlines.
Also makes the perception of the stock being cheaper. I can't tell you how many times I heard someone say company X stock is cheaper than company Y becausetthey compare nominal price.
I don't think it's necessary or appropriate to assign an insulting stereotype label to that subset of customers, especially not on HN. People who behave in this manner can be readily found on HN in many discussions (for example, virtually all about telemetry), and while I don't understand them I don't condone insulting them either.
> I've put no words in your mouth.

Yes you have. You have made the implication that I'm asking you to act according to my wishes/opinions. I can hold an opinion without asking you to act according to my wishes/opinions. I hope you can see the difference. I don't know how to express it so it comes across more clearly.
To expand - why not use it to your advantage? Consultants for larger, competitive companies do well w/ ADHD. Leaders do well. Founders do well (if they can stay focused on the opportunity).

I have a CompSci degree, and loved doing algorithms, etc - but can't be bothered to sit behind an IDE for hours. So what - enough of people can do that well. I've found leadership to be the best use of skillsets where these 'symptoms' appear.
Outside of building synths, the most useful notion in this book that I recall is that a piano gives a smoother quality to string instruments. Nice orchestration trick.

I think the problem is that the individual contributor has decided to make that chunk of logic their business. This will probably not benefit the team or the organization.
There is definitely a deep, abiding sense of relief and peace at the fact that a lot of things which caused me pain in the past now make sense.

That doesn't help with the day-to-day of things, but it does contribute to an overall happiness which I do not think the medication alone would offer me.

It reminds me of the paper forms I'd have to fill out when entering the US on a UK passport. The forms would ask questions like whether or not I was a nazi that participated in the holocaust.
