It's surprisingly complex to do that. Let's take a simple example and say your cloud account is doing 2 things - compute & storage.

Compute is an active resource, when you exceed your budget it can be automatically shutdown.

Storage is a passive resource, when you exceed your budget it can be automatically....deleted? That's almost always the wrong action.

Providing fine-grained cost limits help some, as passive resources usually don't have massive cost spikes while active resources do, so you can better "protect" your passive resources by setting more aggressive cost limits on the active resources.

This quickly gets more complicated. Another example is most monitoring services are a combination of active (actual metric monitoring) and passive (metric history) resources. A cost limit on that monitoring service likely won't provide sub-service granularity, mostly depending on whether the service even has different charges for monitoring vs history.

Oh, also, even for a passive resource like storage, you also have active resource charges whenever you upload/download your data.

Ugh, what a mess. The best thing to do is pay attention to your spending, just like you do with your personal & corporate budget.
IANAL

It isn't clear exactly what is required here. I think the intention is that this is fine, but then what if you were just to modify it and stick a TCP proxy in front? Does that mean that you don't need to distribute your modifications?

IMAP API opens a single persistent connection for every registered IMAP account and then uses this connection for all operations. Unfortunately this also means that you can't do stuff in parallel, so if you pile up a bunch of requests against a single account then it might take some time until all these requests are processed as these need do be done one by one.

Twitter does a similar thing: they'll lock your account and

Yes, Facebook this evening clarified the situation around SMS notifications sent using the company’s two-factor authentication (2FA) system, admitting that the messages were indeed caused by a bug. In a blog post penned by Facebook Chief Security Officer Alex Stamos, the company says the error led it to “send non-security-related SMS notifications to these phone numbers.”
8% conversion rate is pretty good for a PH/HN audience.

Three things I'm sure helped the signup rates, which others should copy:

- Low-friction registration using SSO.

- Glimpse of the product in the background.

- Let guests see and click on gated features. (Even if visitor clicks "Or try it instead" they still see "+ New Draft" button, which leads to the signup prompt again.)

I've tested these in other apps and found they significantly increase signups. The first because of low friction, the second because--I suspect--it shows the visitor what they're about to experience in just a few more clicks, and the third because it shows the guest what's possible and offers multiple chances to sign up.

Well done!

I teach high school English. We will frequently create audio products like podcasts, speeches, Tedtalks, etc.

Traditionally, I would offer feedback in person while a student is drafting/editing their products - but with distance ed. that is somewhat more challenging.

The feature I would like is the ability to add an annotation to the audio track (either written or verbally) that is tagged to a specific moment/stretch of audio.

The ability to have creators add submissions to a shared folder would also help (such that I can rapidly click through and provide feedback on a large set of submissions).

Just spitballing, but maybe like genius.com but for private feedback on audio.

It’s funny because in the early 2000s, everyone was against Turkey joining because of its economic woes. Today they’re against it for political reasons that could have been completely averted by its being a member state - all while proving that it had real, untapped economic potential all along.

But who knows if it would have been in Turkey’s own best interest to become a member state.
Red hat is now owned by IBM. IBM needs to pull every cent of profit out of their acquisition.

Maybe... it depends on the amount of _trust_ that you put in the remote domain. My prediction is that the Deno ecosystem will aggregate around a few, large repositories that will have good guarantees araound immutability and good track records to addressing vulnerabilities.

For large projects like React, lodash, eslint whatever, I expect some of them will start hosting their libraries on their own networks, like it used to be when Javascript was only frontend and you would have a script tag importing jQuery directly from jQuery's CDN. The reason it worked was because jQuery was sidely known and trusted.
> Saying everything is so integrated that it can't possibly be decentralized is basically proof of monopoly.

This doesn't matter from the standard of antitrust law. What most fail to grasp is that being a monopoly is not illegal. It's only illegal to use monopoly power to harm consumer welfare.

In this case integration between services is a pretty strong defense against this. Facebook can argue that consolidating the infrastructure allows them to deliver each product at a lower cost and/or higher quality than if it was served independently.

If the court accepted those facts, then Facebook would have a ironclad argument against being broken up under the consumer welfare standard.
It's very different from Debian Testing. The closest comparison is to stable-proposed-updates - any given branch of CentOS Stream is still issuing minor updates for a single CentOS major release. The closest thing to Debian Testing would probably be Fedora, with Debian Unstable being comparable to Fedora Rawhide.
Maybe this should make you think about your "worthiness" scan ;)

> retail investors get mostly better prices from market makers

When broker-dealers (BD) say this, check their foot notes. The precise statement is something like "80% of market orders are filled with a price improvement relative the the NBBO at the time of execution." That is a super narrow definition of "better". It says nothing about limit order fill rates, improvement rates, or improvement magnitudes.

More importantly, it says nothing about the path of the NBBO midpoint. "Better" needs to be measured relative to the counterfactual where orders are not sent to the BD. The BDs that fill Robinhood orders are all associated with large systematic hedge funds. The hedge funds make directional bets and hold positions overnight, activities that move the NBBO midpoint. That is a seriously suspicious conflict of interest.

If the BD is benefiting from hedge fund research about short-term price movements (probably legal if disclosed to hedge fund LPs), it will harm Robinhood clients. If the hedge fund is benefiting from BD research about retail flows (probably illegal), it will harm Robinhood clients. The data only has to cross the corporate boundary once to be harmful.

The worst thing about this clear conflict is that the BD and hedge fund are the only ones presently capable of measuring that harm. Until the SEC undertakes a systematic analysis, it is inappropriate to call this a "conspiracy theory". The SEC doesn't even have the data it needs to study this question. Weird.

The Problem with Corporate Innovation

Appreciate your insight, and I'm sorry to hear about the AMS team.

The OP indicates that a rewrite was necessary regardless. Even if Swift was not yet mature, do you think it was more worthwhile than rewriting in ObjC? Given that the goal was to "sustain mobile development at Uber for the next 5 years".

Secondly, I'm not a mobile developer so I don't have much context, and I'm wondering about your outlook on iOS development as a whole. Swift obviously had major problems but has supposedly gotten much better. You mention MacStadium's issues, but Apple build servers seem to be making progress with the recent AWS EC2 Mac reveal.

Is the iOS landscape turning a corner, or do you expect a new generation of bad developer experience?

The ABCs of Cryptocurrency
You could stay on CentOS and have your own internal mirrors / snapshots, so that you could test a release in your dev/qa environment, then promote it to staging, then to production. That should really be done with any OS regardless.

You could pick another distribution, Ubuntu, Debian, etc... though you may have some up front time sink in getting everything re-tooled, depending on what you use the OS for. On large bare metal fleets, this should involve some critical thinking and planning. Some vendor tools may not be available.

You could go BSD. This is an even bigger change from a different distro, as 3rd party library and application support would need to be verified. Hardware support and monitoring would need to be tested. Proprietary (dell, hp) tools will need alternatives. OpenIPMI, static raid controller tools, etc... this is a massive topic on its own.

Other considerations are what reviews and approvals you need from your legal departments, compliance teams, security teams, datacenter build teams, etc...

I think you're dealing with more than one thing here, including maybe some unrealistic expectations. It's hard to have a hobby that is the same as your profession. A hobby often needs to function as a relief from the pressures and annoying bullshit of work, and an outlet for pent-up creative energy. When programming starts to feel like pressure and bullshit at work, programming at home will make you feel like there's no escape. When there's no pent-up creative energy, and you keep trying to squeeze some out, it will make you feel inadequate and unworthy.

It also sounds like one aspect of programming you enjoy is the ego gratification. Unfortunately, this is very hard to manage as you become more experienced and more sophisticated. It is easy for your standards to go up and impossible for your increase in capacity to keep up. Early in your career, you can learn something really cool and put it into practice right away, because you are learning small things. As you develop, your knowledge compounds and accelerates, and you start to realize that there are big, cool projects that you could implement in their entirety with high confidence. It's kind of a curse, to be able to look at a complex web app, or a 3d game, and know that you could implement the entire thing, top to bottom, in a way that would be perfectly tailored to your desires and would arm you with a bunch of really cool skills, except it would take you years of hard work. Something like that only works as a hobby if you enjoy the process. If you're only in it for the results, get ready to exercise an extreme amount of patience and humility... and that doesn't sound like it makes for a very fun hobby, either.

As for what you should do now, I think that for a while you should put your productive energy into your career. Forget about hobbies, just play video games or rewatch old movies or whatever the hell you feel like doing when you're tired and lazy. Accept the challenge of being the best you can at your job. Turn it into a game. Let winning this game be your creative, productive output. It's okay. You don't have to be doing something elevated or glamorous at every single point in your life. Obsessing about where the present moment will lead you is a recipe for depression and stagnation. Sometimes it's more important to be engaged in what you're doing than to think about how cool it is or where it will lead.
Management had very different incentives while engineers had different motives. The two were not aligned, and TK culture was still very prominent back then (work hard, dont go home early, we are going to be a 1 trillion dollar company etc etc) and Thuan definitely helped him spread that culture. So definitely not great days but I think the engineers took away a lot from their time there. Lots of lessons learned
