Assuming the cloud is 100% hard down and there's nothing you can do to mitigate the primary issue which is not THAT common...

Unless you're 100% in a single cloud in a single region, there's always going to be something which broke which had a dependency on something in the cloud and you can work to mitigate that.

Events like this create increased workload on external and internal customer service teams, people who would normally be engineering can pitch in there. Internally especially hearing from senior dev/ops people helps people.

Shit-post memes about how there's nothing you can do because the cloud is down.

If the outage is on AWS, make up plans for how you should move the infrastructure off AWS onto GCP because AWS has so many outages. If the outage is on GCP, make up plans for how you should move the infrastructure off GCP onto AWS because GCP has so many outages.

Make up plans about how you can scale to multi-cloud muti-region deployments to mitigate against the next cloud outage. Once you finish doing the math realize that you're actually making things more brittle and thus causing more outages and that nobody wants to pay to avoid the hour or three of downtime per year. Realize that the developer who pushed the bad ALTER TABLE statement into production three weeks ago caused a bigger outage than the cloud ever will and begin to question your life choices.

Play some games with the team where you try to guess what sites/services are impacted. Loser has to stay late to close all the tickets generated when cloud comes back up.

Shit-post more memes.
Disagree. Didn't have YouTube, Google, etc and still cracked video game protections when i was 10.
I was wondering that as well because I have Google One. When I go to the support page it claims 24/7 support for phone and chat in 2-3 minutes and e-mail support within 24 hours.

You guys are all here real programmers, but I am just good with Excel & a bit of javascript. I made this sheet to get best possible words, & I am trying to get this converted into a bookmarklet.

My excel sheet is explained in this different hn thread about same game
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30037065

The whole word list is available in the javascript code of the game page. I know all of that can can be accessed by javascript runtime, but the javascript wordle uses is not the one I can understand, could somebody please have a look at wordle page source & let me know how can I access the variables defined in his code in js file https://www.powerlanguage.co.uk/wordle/main.e65ce0a5.js in variable named La

My some of the basic js apps I have made for myself are hosted on gitlab at username davchana

In manual mode I try to use first word with 3 vowels & no repeat letters. Hard mode is good for not letting the tryies go waste.

Thanks
There is. Mithril.js is much simpler than React, doesn’t reinvent wheels (onChange et al), loads faster, uses the same rendering method, is state-management agnostic, and integrates well with anything else. You seem like being sort of short-sighted by React hype against jQuery. Mithril is the core of immediate mode rendering reconciliated into DOM. React is too, but only in a sense, iff you use it’s preact version to undo synthetic events and skip its own state routines.

To save you an hour or so of reading its guide, the only key difference between Mithril and React is how VDOM updates are handled. Mithril always renders the entire “v-screen” on any vnode-related event out of an assumption that it changed something and DOM shouldn’t be too large in its div size. You can take it down with e.g. heavy svgs, but that is also true for vue, react, whatever. No framework can compare tens of thousands of vdoms efficiently, it’s always >= O(n). These cases are handled by mounting sub-apps at these points, so that redraws don’t descend and events don’t bubble up. React also advises against that and suggests “windowing”, also a very fresh and interesting approach (for those of course who still aren’t aware that it’s called a scroll view controller and is the core of all desktop ui frameworks since circa 1990).

>And for such a person, perhaps it's alien to consider that others don't suffer such a temptation.

The idea that temptation out of a relationship can be celebrated is reinforced by Hollywood movies. There's a lot of celebrated cheating in both classic and modern popular films like Casablanca, The Lady Vanishes, The Notebook, and Sleepless in Seattle.

Your view is admirable and I hope to share it, but popular movies are a strong force for people taking the opposite view as it normalizes the behavior of leaving a committed relationship for other people.
> So I took the question to the #staff-principal-engineering channel on Rands Leadership Slack, a little nervous that everyone would say “Uh, no? Competent people never feel like that. Oh, you sometimes do? …Interesting.”

I've been on the Rands Leadership Slack since the earliest days. There are some good parts, but you really have to work hard to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Most big channels are dominated by people who seem to have unlimited time to insert themselves into every single conversation. They give advice whether they're qualified to or not. There's a lot of uncomfortable tension among some of the regulars who are more interested in outcompeting other people's responses rather than having a group discussion.

Some of the community celebrities are only popular because they're active in the Slack all day long and will provide a semi-friendly response (with heavy use of emojis) to every discussion. It feels like a popularity contest, or at least that's how some people are treating it.

It's also the most rules-heavy Slack or Discord I've ever seen. Too many of the users think it's their duty to police everything in the Slack, including how other people are using it. If you start discussing something and the conversation involves an adjacent topic, be prepared for an influx of people demanding you move the conversation to another channel dedicated to that topic (of which there are thousands). Move the conversation to that channel and it will die, because few people are interested in joining hundreds of channels to micromanage every little topic.

There are occasionally gems to be found there, but it felt like grueling work every time I tried to participate or ask questions. Asking questions requires a huge amount of pre-defensiveness to fend off all of the people taking the worst possible interpretations. Contrary to the name, the audience is largely ICs, not managers, and they'll gladly explain to you that leadership and management are not the same. While true, conversations dominated by ICs tend to have a very IC-biased mindset, meaning any managerial questions you ask will be met with a "customer is always right" mindset where people think it's the manager's job to accommodate the IC employee, regardless of the issue.

I still check in occasionally, but it basically feels like LinkedIn in chat form unless you can stick to a few hidden channels with good signal to noise ratios.

I'm still looking for some sort of Staff Engineer type of community, but I'm afraid it will be impossible to handle publicly with open invitations. Too much attention from the people who have free time, not enough attention from the people busy doing the work.
I'm young and had the same experience as GP - for me it's just too little said about too many different things, it's hard to tell what 'it' is (and I only realised on the second read through that that's partly because they are many things).

Imagine if Amazon had a landing page with headings like 'eShopping', 'Internet', and 'Cashierless Shopping' to describe what the company did. (And worse, then obscured them behind fun but not descriptive names.)

It's a nice page, a lot's gone into making it obviously, but it could be about just one project, each section that's currently a different one instead explaining a feature or aspect of it. Or as it is, the big headings should be the class of thing each project is, not its 'fun but not descriptive' name, IMO. (Underneath: 'FunName approaches blah differently by ...', sure, just not the big eye-catching heading when I'm just scrolling trying to see what's on offer.)

A company I know hired a computer science PhD after putting them through the full programmer interview, including whiteboarding algos, etc. Literally the hardest crap that anyone working there could think up, and then hired the programmer who got the best score on the test, and the process took multiple months to find this magic individual who could score high enough to satisfy everyone.

Once hired (at a fantastic salary), she was then put to work copying data from a pile of CDs into a cloud storage account! Not only that, but she was given a laptop with only 1 CD drive to work with.

She quit within a week.

I suspect that the recommendation engines have a lot to do with this. Old songs have a lot more likes that new one so they are recommended at a higher level. Additionally, more likes begets more likes that again increases the recommendations of already popular music. The whole system is built to favor old music.
It's pretty common for game engines to disable background GC and explicitly call the GC only at certain times (e.g., between processing the current frame and before starting the next frame). Sometimes that can be done using the default GC and sometimes it requires a custom incremental GC.

Same idea applies to a JIT. Getting the best performance may require tuning the JIT to only run at certain times (e.g., before starting a level).

The $3500 ICANN registration fee and the accompanying $4000 yearly accreditation fee hardly make running your own personal registrar worth it, and that doesn't even cover the necessary legal fees and paperwork you need to fill out to become a proper registrar.

The entire process also seems rather lengthy to me if all you want is set up secure email: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/accreditation-2012-02-...
If someone wants to stop using gmail, it's horribly inconvenient to move to another service. You need to update your email with all your other accounts, which for most people is pretty much unfeasible. You can't take your @gmail.com address, which means switching email providers is extremely difficult. There should really be some consumer protection laws around email.
Not FUD, putting your eggs in the Google basket "considered harmful" - unless you pay (Gmail for your domain). I had a similar lockout but on my paid account, got fixed in about 48h. It's happened to like 10 other folk I know over the last 2-3 years

It’s this kind of thing that has had me moving most everything off Google over the last 6 months. It’s just not safe for me to have 20 years of photos, emails and documents in the hands of a company that may cut me loose at any moment. After decades of slowly moving my life to “the cloud”, I bought a Synology nas, and now all my stuff lives in my own house (though backed up externally, of course).
I only recently came across it, but haven't tried it. Like you, I'm intrigued.
What's really important to know is the actual ratio of Covid infections/Long Haul suffers. The number is above zero, but I have a hard time believing that it's as high as 25%. Plugging that number into the the PASC dashboard[1] at results in 17 Million long haul cases in the US. I have a very hard time believing it's that high of a ratio. I suspect it is more in the 1-3% range.

Note: I'm dealing with Long Covid. I have no affiliation, nor do I endorse [1], it just does the math in a nice manner.
I don't know about DRM. Be careful when joining batteries in parallel. You might not get full performance without the factory procedure for mating the battery and BMS together. Datasheets aren't enough to fully match cells, so the reliability and safety might be less.

I had an ancient Google account that I hadn't logged into in forever that put me into a similar recovery loop. I had the correct password for the account and it said I was logging in from a new device and asked for my recovery email. It sent a code to my recovery email account and I entered the code into the page.

So Google knew the following:

1) I have the correct password to the Google account
2) The recovery email address is valid and the code I entered matched

Despite that, after entering the code I received an error message stating essentially "Thank you for providing the correct code however we are still unable to verify your account". I then reached out to a contact within Google and they escalated the issue and the account access was restored for about a week or so before it went back into the same recovery loop. I gave up after that.
Still BLAKE3 still is not a ton faster for short data inputs especially if your implementation has a lot overhead for parallelism like threading like you mentioned in a rust implementation.

Good for files and similar if your data stream is long enough to effectively use the tree structure.

I’ve also noticed that google like logging me out regularly if I’m using more filtering tools (think pihole etc). The ridiculous part is I’m on a static IP…google damn well knows it’s me
Having your own domain doesn't mean running the email server yourself. Or are you suggesting that they filter by registrar?
> If a function is long enough to need multiple lines, it's also long enough to be named.

As a user of other languages, but only occasionally of Python, this type of reasoning (arbitrary limits because we think if you exceed them you’re probably structuring your code wrong) is totally alien to me. Why should the language have opinions about how I should or shouldn’t structure my code?

Imagine if Rust or C++ had an arbitrary rule that you couldn’t have more than 10 functions in a class/impl; maybe it’d usually be correct style but people would still think the language making it a hard restriction was ridiculous.

. . . it's obvious that's what you're doing in code review, and it's trivial to correct. Right?

> if you want to write happy-path code which ignores error

If you're doing this consistently you're going to have a lot of `value, _` i.e. underbar assignments in your code, and `_` isn't passing any code review process in any reasonable Go shop I've ever seen.

I usually do use emails only on my own domains, but in this specific instance I wanted an account that could not be easily traced to me (nothing illegal, just some investigative activity), and this was how I've found out how erratic and merciless our new Google AI overlords are.

In my experience, the moment someone emails your domain (at least on Gmail) your domain seems to become whitelisted almost instantaneously, even if others receive your email as spam. I don't know about Yahoo, but the problem is usually reaching out first. Generally, deliverability seems quite fine as long as you don't go for the cheapest package deal and implement all the modern protocols (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, etc.). Amazon IP addresses also seem to do quite well because Amazon has its own spam prevention system that's tied to your AWS account.

Having said that said, I haven't had a failed delivery in years and I host my email on a cheap VPS. I only started getting deliverability problems when I ignored my mail client's (and server's) warnings before sending a 100MiB email through a mail server that also hosted a TOR relay, which was pretty stupid in hindsight.

Mail deliverability isn't quite as bad as people seem to think it is, but if mail delivery to the big four fails, there's almost never a way to troubleshoot it. That's kind of a pain, I suppose.

I'm a 30 year old male and I've always found it easy to make male friends and maintain meaningful male friendships. That includes men of all ages. I don't know how, except perhaps by being genuinely interested in their lives and projects they're working on. I'm guilty of being too honest for my own good which may or may not play a role.

Despite treating females exactly the same, more often than not they mistakenly assume I'm romantically interested in them. When I was a teenager I was often taken aback by their negative reactions to my messages. I'd copy-paste the offending my message to a male, or have the same conversation with a male, and the men always reacted positively. It was quite puzzling.
It's absolutely bonkers what stupid crap some companies would call "security", and what lengths they'd go to enforce it.

- Security questions. Yeah, right, please give us what amounts to a password, but that other people likely know, and that we'll probably store in plaintext. You'll use this much weaker backup password if you forget your real one.

- A time component. Any kind of it. Sessions should not have an expiration time, period. Not unless I specifically checked a box that I want a session that expires. I never, ever want to be greeted with a login form when I follow some link when I've already logged into this thing a hundred times in this browser. This may have made sense 15 years ago when people shared computers, but people aren't sharing computers any more.

- Related: required password changes once a certain time period. Bonus points if I can't reuse any password I had in the past. You want me to forget my password? Because this is how you make me forget my password.

- Doing anything with IP addresses besides packet routing. Yes, my ISP uses a single IP address for at least several tens of subscribers. No, it's not my fault and I should not be punished for this. And no, if I went to other country, this doesn't mean I'm dangerous to the security my own accounts, ffs. You shouldn't care. You were provided with correct credentials, and you thus must log me in with no hindrance.
I don't know why you're being snarky at me?

We need cryptographic hashes for many legitimate applications completely outside crypto-currencies, many of which protect critical things like national security and personal privacy.
My closest friendships were my grad school friends. We were all working on different topics so there was no competition. On the contrary, there was a sense of questing -- we were trying to tackle difficult unsolved problems. We would be in the office till midnight -- catching the last bus at 1 am -- and working out ideas on the chalkboard. We would celebrate after exams, go to conferences together etc.

I'd often imagined this was the kind of environment that existed in places like Bell Labs.

Other cultures would have vastly skewed results: for instance, my girlfriend is Qatari, her interaction with males outside her family is very strictly limited, and vice-versa for the males. Segregation between genders is enormous in some cultures.
