I accept that Google can't always pick these apps up when published but they need a transparent mechanism for reporting and taking them down.

I have a successful app on the Play store that is becoming less and less successful over time because almost all the competition do not play by the rules and violate the terms in one way or another but mostly comment spam which unfairly boosts their rankings.

Google do have a page to report them on but the response despite giving clear examples of repeated review and repeated fake reviewers is always thanks for your report and that's it.

So far I've not seen any action. Apps are still there and still full of fake reviews.

Basically, preprod and any not-prod environments cannot ultimately perfectly reproduce prod, and in a sufficiently complex system, the failure states cannot be predicted in a replicated environment. Instead, using strategies like rolling deployments, you can test on the actual environment you want to validate.

If set up properly, it doesn't really risk breaking prod.

Students flee field as computer 'fad fades' (1987)
"And remember, there are no Romans around to correct your pronunciation."
I work in a field (military) where "overtime" isn't a thing. We can and do work 24+hour shifts without any extra pay. Even during peacetime, if we need to work 16-hour days every day for a month we can do that without any financial cost. We can also be sent home at noon every day without diminishing our wages a penny.

That absolute flexibility does not reduce stress. With no standard office hours we face constant negotiation over timings for basic events. It can take weeks to plan the simplest meeting. Bill doesn't work Saturdays. Alice is on leave. Ken is on a home-study course. Hank's kid is sick so he is working from home without a secure computer. I miss my civilian days back pre-2000 when everyone came to work five days a week.

And somehow the entropy always flows up to supervisors. At 0400 (4am) Sunday morning I took over a watch from my boss. All the junior people are at home enjoying their flexible work schedules while the two senior people on the team end up covering the long shifts nobody else wants. Set saturday-sunday weekends are a privilege. Don't give up on them so easily.

A self hosted website with high traffic? Maybe you’re hosting high quality video, or a high tick multiplayer game server? Perhaps those specific examples are niche use cases, but the idea is that they‘ll stop being so niche if symmetrical upload/download becomes more commonplace.
Affluent people earn big incomes but have correspondingly big expenses. Big houses, flash cars, eating at fancy restaurants, etc. All those behaviours are status competitions. e.g. my car is faster, more expensive, etc.

Thus in turn, their children are also part of their status as success. Having a child who went to an Ivy League and works at a top NY firm is accorded far more allure of success than somebody who dropped out and travels with a backpack painting landscapes. Even if the latter leads a far happier, healthier, more sustainable life.
The purpose of Newspeak was not only to provide a medium of expression for the world-view and mental habits proper to the devotees of Ingsoc, but to make all other modes of thought impossible.

I’ve seen some people make the distiction between “unit” tests and “programmer” tests. Using this terminology, “programmer” tests are what are used in TDD; they help with development and cover the desired functionality, not implementation. When code is refactored internally, no such tests should break. “Unit” tests, on the other hand, are called such because they test an isolated unit of code, and are frequently heavlily mocking all its dependencies, both internal and external. These tests, when created, exist for code quality purposes, and are almost always tightly coupled to the implementation, and must be rewritten when the implementation changes.
I made an alternative HN interface that works good on mobile and adds some functionality like dark mode, split pane view for comments, etc..

It was 1979. The height of Mafia control over large building projects especially anything using cement. I would be totally unsurprised if corners were cut to reduce costs and pad the pockets of some capo who was running the union on that job.
Developers end up hearing my admonition that their unit tests should not be uptime indicators for some third party API. Those external things should definitely be mocked.

Whenever/wherever there is piece of code that can tested as part of a unit test, write a simple test or two for it.

However, each time I run into 200 lines of setup code that will make the test pass trivially, I think an opportunity to simplify something was missed.
Sure, police have only done the CSI "The fiber analysis shows that perp had been wearing a baseball cap sold only as a promotional item at Target and there is pollen from an orchid that grows only in Bahamas, so let's cross check all the Target's customers from that time with the tickets to Bahamas, meanwhile I will call the judge for the warrant for our newspaper thief!" on TV, they probably only do this for high profile murders or $100K+ heists in real life so nobody is going to investigate who broke into your RV past asking any potential witness if available.

Showing up to the crime in progress and stopping it is different. It used to happen quite regularly even in California.

The short answer is “don’t build that tall”. There really isn’t any material available to build that tall that cheaply without it being throwaway work, so don’t.

Building tall is really only necessary because of the amount of space we set aside for cars, both for parking and roads. You can get really good density by building 4-6 story apartments close to where people actually want to live and work, plus a bit of mass transit (preferably trains).

Open source feature flags platform

Steel is strongest in extension, and a horizontal pulling moment is going through the cross section of the rebar rather then perpendicular to it.

The rebar would have different load bearing capacities in different directions, particularly if it was rusting (i.e. most likely the corrosion was principally on the top face).
If you're not running a Thinkpad (I'm not) then there's not much that works for controlling power, fan, etc. I've tried everything I can find that works in this OS and it has almost no effect. Basic cpufreq controls work, but they only slow down the CPU, the fans keep spinning more than on the old OS. And most of the /sys/ settings that exist (like no_turbo or the power governors) simply don't work for whatever reason (and it's a Skylake CPU).

I'm not surprised that there's regressions, but I am a little surprised at how poor the hardware compatibility testing is (I guess there isn't any?). The only way to know for sure if a complete system will keep working when the software changes is to test it, send test results in, look for bugs, fix those, etc. It's surprising that Linux has been developed for 30 years and there's no official test suite for hardware compatibility. All of us should be running a test suite that automatically sends reports back to the kernel devs, but for whatever reason Linus's testing model is "put out an alpha release and see if anybody complains". And there's virtually no documentation for 90% of the controls in the kernel; you have to be a kernel hacker to know what values to set on what controls and what they'll even do.
Yes p2p really had the largest catalog and still surpasses what’s available on Spotify or Apple Music. You could get obscure live recordings, the smallest bands, everything was there. If you consider bootleg recordings, the volume of music produced is many times larger than what any one centralized service could offer.
Looking at the photo of the column, I see 3 of the 4 rods in one direction (the side labeled 72) 2 sticking out of the column, can't see the 3rd one presumably sheared off, and the 4th obviously slid down the column, and is the loop sticking up, and 4 of 4 in the other, labeled 73.
The issue is when positions are completely equal and there is no reasonable way to progress. It might still be technically possible to win in such positions, but it would require someone to make extremely bad moves and almost certainly lose. If there is no rule that forces draws in such positions, then players will just keep moving pieces without purpose until either someone's time runs out or 50 moves without capture / threefold repetition happens.
Bro, you need to do some serious re-evaluation. You just told me that I'd be doing the gene pool a favor by offing myself. My self worth is non existent and I'm suicidal and on edge. You're malicious, insensitive, and you deny my report about being a sexual assault victim, even going as far as to conflate that with your amateur perception of a serious mental illness.

Do you have any idea what that's like trying to come forward about a serious sexual assault incident and being told that I might be imagining it? I'll tell you. It causes suicide, you lowlife troll. Go talk to military investigators on behalf of male on male sexual assault victims. You know what they do, scumbag? They choose suicide before reporting it, scumbag. It's a shameful tragedy that you will likely never know. Remember that next time before dropping your troll suicidal nudges.

> QA says: “it doesn’t work”. Dev says: “it must be working, all the tests pass”.

Yup, the very next question here should be: Show me the failing/in correct behavior.

This means:
* There's a case the automated tests don't cover.
* There's a misunderstood requirement on the QA or Dev side.
* There's a broken machine or configuration in a deployment.

> Requires LLVM (a huge overkill on a system otherwise based on GCC), no proper support for dynamic linking, own build system, absolutely huge "ecosystem", No standardization (-> no competing implementations), SLOW to compile.

All of those are secondary if Rust is able to reliably produce memory safe software.

A relatively quick skim through those issues seems to indicate that the unsafe keyword really is unsafe. I wonder if SQLite can be written without it Rust?
perhaps you're aware of this but sci-hub solves a second problem in addition to simply access - ease of use. Using a library's system requires a proxy or VPN or a credential verification of some sort.

Of course she probably can't leave Russia ever, but it looks like she knew that a long time back and nothing about that has changed.
Exactly, you can use PID to turn a small craft or a large ship, or to heat a tiny copper vessel or an enormous iron one. Delayed effect and tuning time to setpoint and overshoot are, like, well within its territory.

That just seems like moving the goal post. Without a trial to explore efficacy, it is a pie-in-the-sky idea that shouldn't be taken seriously. When a trial happens...well this trial isn't really indicative of how people will truly behave when not in trial... we should just discount the results.

Because the government stepped in and said “we are going to use the enormous power of the state to make sure every citizen in this country is covered”, whether that involves using private insurance but dictating how and when it can charge, or paying for service directly, or subsidizing costs and then allowing private insurance to administrate.

It doesn’t matter to me if you call it “nationalized insurance” or “universal healthcare” or “healthcare that is overwhelmingly funded and controlled by the state but leverages some private components in controlled ways” -— that’s just semantics. All that matters to me is that we don’t try to fool people into thinking that the Netherlands or Sweden have anything like the broken medieval mess we have here in the US, when obviously what they’ve done is radically different.
This was a four year study involving 2500 participants. You may feel the evidence is insufficient to make the policy changes they did as a result, but if you feel this is fluff dressed up as science it might be nice to understand what you found problematic about this study's methods for it to not qualify as adding to the body of scientific evidence we have on this topic.
Tech companies struggle to retain employees because of overwork and poor incentives (financial and otherwise) for staying with the company.

There's a reason why Steve Jobs wanted an anti-poaching agreement with Google; when people find out they could make more money working at another company, they're likely to consider leaving or trying to negotiate a pay raise.

Another problem is that a portion of Apple's compensation package (like those of some research labs, game companies, etc.) is paid in intangibles (prestige, coolness, blessings of St. Jobs, etc.) rather than dollars.

This assumes customers would want to return three days later just to tell you that a problem happened last week. Most people do not do this, especially if they can make it work on Monday.

Nearly every time that I experience a problem on a website, I try to report the bug / customer experience. And nearly every single time, if it's even possible for me to report it at all, it takes me 30+ minutes just to figure out how to report it. And that's during customer service hours! If it happened when customer service wasn't there, I'm definitely not coming back the next week just to tell them their website has bugs.

To an extent neither are wrong - full disk access doesn't directly bypass the live filesystem's Unix permissions. But it does explicitly grant full access to Time Machine backup images regardless of admin/superuser privileges, including the ability to create new up-to-date snapshots, which is equivalent to full read-only access ignoring Unix permissions (on a short time delay.)

Pipefail is actually relevant here; because the difference between `-e` and `-o pipefail` is whether “on error resume next” is supported for `cmd;cmd` versus `cmd|cmd`.
I'm fine with sharing this data.
I’ve read codebases that size, ~0.5m LOC is still generally a reasonable thing to read. With that kind of team and progress the majority of code is likely boilerplate. For example you can skim through most UI, ORM, and glue code only really looking for any abnormal parts of it.

The goal isn’t to understand every line, the goal is to have a basic map of what’s involved. Even a superficial read likely shows you what parts to emulate when you need some of that same boilerplate.

Time wise it’s a good substitute for reading HN etc whisk getting up to speed. Personally, I find it vaguely relaxing so it fills a similar role when you just can’t concentrate on the difficult side of things.
