There’s no place where we are asking you to diagram the system that you’re working on. We ask you to diagram a system you understand well. Are you using messages queues, container orchestration, network components, cloud infrastructure, Java/rust/go/Python/etc.? Tell me about one of those components and how they connect together in theory vs the specifics of your system. Everyone who works in technology works with, mostly, complicated interconnected systems. The point of this exercise isn’t to design a system or tell me about a system that you’ve designed as much as it is about helping the team to understand the breadth and depth of your technology knowledge. Good engineers typically find creative ways help us understand their knowledge without disclosing NDA material.
They'd have to rename the store, sure.

I wish the relationship between ancestral findings (trying to avoid the word knowledge) and science didn't have to be so adversarial. If you've got an idea that a plant can help with certain illnesses there's probably a natural product to extract from it. If you think a traditional way of managing land is better than whatever is currently being used, let's run a test.

We could probably collaborate effectively, but the mere suggestion that those ideas be subjected to the scientific method is denounced as prejudiced.
https://github.com/beekeeper-studio/beekeeper-studio is pretty decent.
This is a great article, and sums up my team's frustrations with AWS Lambda and the AWS engineering leadership in general.

I worked in the past under a slew of former AWS product managers, and I know from them how the AWS roadmap works:

1.) Real, crucial customer feedback is incorporated into roadmap, usually for the core services that are already used extensively like Lambda.
2.) Executives have new, novel, sexy flavor of the month projects like "we need to catch up with that ChatGPT thing my kid was showing the Au Pair the other day!"
3.) Product Management leaders are incentivized to prioritize said new/novel projects, and proceed to do a worker crushing sprint to build what any sane person would call a PoC.
4.) PoC is barely tested and pushed out as a half-baked garbage product. Garbage product languishes. (See AWS Data Science Studio for a great example of giant, useless POS)

Meanwhile, developers are siphoned from real projects like, gee, I don't know, getting Python 3.10 out on Lambda? Or how about when you launch a sagemaker notebook instance you still top out at Python 3.8???? And don't get me started on recent versions of CUDA being available on GPU instances.

My team is relegated to docker containers deployed to lambda due to the antiquated, ridiculous limits on layer sizes for any of our ML oriented lambdas.

I have a buddy who works at AWS and talks about how utterly inefficient they are due to horrific leadership. At this point, you have a choice between a few highly dysfunctional cloud vendors. Google just SUCKS, Azure is a blatant financial rip off, and AWS is always developing new features nobody wants while ignoring the ones we do.
In the UK, with its more granular postcodes, office buildings can have one or more postcodes per floor.
The author makes a good progression in their reasoning but then somehow arrives to the wrong conclusion:

> So when someone says that Amazon has invested a lot of money into security I think about the fact that Ubisoft spent $1M on a backup solution that didn’t work for the game that would have had the best use of it.

The missing point here is thst ubisoft is/was spending money for something outside of its domain of expertise, and managed to make a suboptimal decision. Amazon however is spending money on two of its core domains of expertise: building and managing datacenters and building and operating web services.

Not to mention, aws is very clear and explicit about what is their responsibility and what’s your responsibility (security of the cloud vs security in the cloud).

Sad to see such a nice post ending like that.
There have already been experiments in altering personal biases and beliefs through transcranial magnetic stimulation [0][1]. Direct electrical stimulation will eventually permit a greater degree of control.

> We presented participants with a reminder of death and a critique of their in-group ostensibly written by a member of an out-group, then experimentally decreased both avowed belief in God and out-group derogation by downregulating pMFC activity via transcranial magnetic stimulation. The results provide the first evidence that group prejudice and religious belief are susceptible to targeted neuromodulation, and point to a shared cognitive mechanism underlying concrete and abstract decision processes.

A happy coincidence would imply random behavior.

That’s not even remotely how an LLM functions.

You’re not introducing any scale with regards to correctness either.

It is a poor analogy without any stretching required.
Asking dumb questions knowingly is rarely dumb, assuming you aren’t asking the same dumb questions repeatedly.

If you are mentoring, someone is listening. It would be highly unusual for that same person to talk down to you, and even more unusual for you to continue mentoring after that happened once or twice.

So, not to pry without cause, and not that you need to answer as it might reveal too much or you simply may not care to, but who is talking down to you?

Because this at face value sounds like an issue with either management or a subset of a team, or alternatively you are willfully or not, regardless of intent, leaving out some detail that makes it difficult to imagine the situation.

>Ascribing agency to inanimate things is a return to the pre-scientific past and an abandonment of science.

This is just so wrong. That these things are inanimate is not a scientific view it is an interpretation, period. People are allowed to interpret the world in other ways and most of the greatest scientific minds did not have this atheistic view. If you look you’ll find this is a relatively modern condescension.

>I rather happen to like my antibiotics and weather prediction more than sacrifices to the gods.

This is hyperbole at best. Irrelevant to the discussion.

Think you may want to read about what an axiom is.

An axiom, by the very definition, cannot be proven.

Since the mathematical impossibility of exactly once delivery can be proven (there exists a proof), it means it is not an axiom.

Now, a mathematical proof is different from physical reality. In mathematics 10^(10^(10^10)) is different from infinity while in reality it is not. In mathematics you can halve distance between you and a point every second and you will never reach it while in physical world you will reach it in less than a minute. In mathematics you can win any lottery however low your win chance is by just trying it an infinite number of times. In real world you can't.

An anecdote (funny regardless of whether true) says that CIA cryptographers created once an unbreakable encryption scheme using one time pad. One time pad is mathematically proven to be impossible to break.

USSR cryptographers promptly learned to decipher all cryptograms.

Apparently, when combining plaintext and one time pad the machine would generate different voltages depending on the bit used in the pad, so rather than output 0V for false and 1V for true, the output became 0.9V or 1.1V for true and 0V or 0.1V for false depending on what bit was used in the pad.

This shows how idealised world is different from engineering reality and forgetting about it can lead to large errors in judgment.

The same kind of errors in judgment as people saying "you cannot have exactly-once delivery".

Programs work in real world and not in idealised mathematical space. In real world, exactly once delivery is a solved problem for any practical purpose. Which is evidenced by all those systems that actually do, in fact, provide exactly once delivery.

Ah, I understand. Thank you. That explains the existence of several troubling loopholes I've seen.
For a contrasting viewpoint to your contrasting viewpoint, I took over my parents' finances as my father was dying from emphysema. He had a number of comorbidities that led him to see a number of specialists, so he was definitely using a large number of health services. After he died, I steeled myself for the dreaded slow drip of medical bills in the ensuing weeks and months. They never came.

Because my father had Medicare and a Medigap plan.
I am in the fortunate position where both my wife and myself work from home.

It has been an incredible privilege being able to spend quality time with the person I care for the most without the pressure to optimize what little precious time I have outside of work.

e.g., being able to have lunch together, or just taking a quick break to check in on each other's lives.

Would so much rather have this than sitting in a cubicle or forcibly socializing with people who are acquaintences at best (maybe the introvert in me speaking).

Yes, there are some folks who need the social interaction. There are also those who prefer quality interactions over quantity.

No doubt with a follow up on how the variable would be best named.
I’d been saying E Luther. Is that all wrong?
Its difficult to quantify a best strategy as there a many more variables at play than just what the customers can afford. There is usually a "sweet spot" for every type of customer that is a careful balance between price and amount of customers that maximizes profit. I'm doubtful that this price change will motivate more than 34% (1 - $19/$29) of their customer base to move elsewhere that would negate extra profits from price hike. Mostly due to the time required for customers to move elsewhere and the sunk investment of moving onto gitlab in the first place (a form of vendor lock in). There are also likely savings in other areas such as support that roughly scale with number of customers like sverhagen suggested.

From a financial perspective, it seems likely that gitlab will profit from this change. They may be able to profit more and mitigate hobbyist/very small business business loss by introducing another tier but gitlab is the only one that has enough information to determine if that is worthwhile from their perspective.
Are they planning on hiring more reports?
The main difference between shipping a binary and a js file, is that users don't expect binaries to be small, which means you can usually ship an entire runtime with your binary. If you shipped every single js polyfill with your website performance would tank. You also generally differentiate between downloading a binary and running it, and users will tolerate a loading spinner while a massive binary downloads.
Webpack will emit a warning if any of your build artifacts are larger than 244KB, whereas a 244KB binary would be considered anemic.
There is literally zero need to have long-term tracking of "Moon time". For all long-term (day/week/year scale) you can work in whatever Earth time zone suits you best, and when the clocks will drift - no matter if that drift is due to relativity or plain old inaccuracy - just sync them to Earth time.

Yes, an isolated non-adjusted clock on the moon would have slowly accumulated some drift from the correct time, but who cares about that? For use cases which need extreme accuracy, do explicit adjustments for the time dilation in these specific conditions, just as we do for GPS satellites, instead of trying to define a single moon-wide lunar second or some offset from UTC.

You've articulated the exact sentiment that I have to others before.

What can we do about it? Is trying to out-lobby i.e. regulate the CC companies the only way? I noticed that other countries don't seem to have this problem.
If you split profit equally, you should also split investment and risk equally. Many folks who start a small business owners put their home and other assets on the line to fund their company.

Most employees appreciate that they are getting paid whether or not the location performs well. They don't get an equal share of the profit, but they also don't pay an equal share to cover losses if the business is not profitable for a season. If a Starbucks locations were closed for a month during peak Covid, would the employees be happy to (a) not get paid, but also happy to (b) still help carry the cost of the lease, utilities and other operating expenses?

If I start a business and my employees are willing to put their name on the loan (backed by their homes as collateral), then this is a different discussion.
He's around so that your skip has to manage 1 person instead of 2.
What the hell. I'd be extremely pissed off if that happened to me. Does GitLab not save reviews as you go like GitHub seems to?
Unless and until someone can identify how chemical reactions possess any degree of agency regarding their reaction, people making such assertions are divorced from fact, reality, and science.

They are expressing wholly unsupported beliefs.

That's fine, but beliefs aren't knowledge, and they aren't science, and they have nothing at all going for them anymore except that they make people feel warm fuzzies. Those aren't science either.

Philosophers have a relevance problem, but as long as you can slap "quantum" on any jumble of nonsense and have a million people agree with it, they'll at least have an audience.
I followed along on their discord for a while but I wasn’t sure how to gradually increase my engagement to get involved.
Having grown up eating wild strawberries, my rule of thumb is that anything artificially made to grow bigger and plumper still has at most the same amount of flavor as the original small wild plant.

>Like users thinking imessage is shit because of third party clients.

If those are the concerns against forcing them to open it, they shall force them now! I mean, lol...

>Or taking away an app devs right to restrict how and where their app is used. You have no inherent right over how imessage is restricted. I mean, by what right or authority do you even get to even discuss forcing how a free(!) app is restricted or forcing an all network/server to provide services to arbitrary clients?

There are no "inherent rights" period. Right comes from law, which ideally comes from what society deems worthy to have. If EU wants open messaging than can be made into a law. It's that simple.

Whether the app is free or not is irrelevant. It's enough a consideration that it occupies a big percentage of usage share, so having it close presents a moat against communicating with a big chunk of the population (and also restricts those using iOS just one client).

>If I block firefox on my webserver, will you or EU tell me I can't??

They very well could, if the right conditions applied...
Starbucks can always sublease it. Leases are expensive to let sit vacant.

> it's very much in their interest to not break the lease and instead leave the location empty

There's an easy way to test that theory. Have the union make them an offer.

Besides, there's no particular reason the union has to set up shop in that store. They can pick anyplace else. As I mentioned before, people open coffee shops all the time. It isn't rocket science.
I expect that if you combine the percentage of H1Bs at tech companies, the percentage of layoffs in tech overall, and the percentage of that number who can't find something else and have to or choose to leave the country you end up with a fairly modest number in the scheme of things.

Cashback on credit cards is really just a rebate on the CC fees that are baked in to all prices. It's still a net economic loss for consumers, just not as bad as if you weren't taking advantage of that.

Credit cards only seem like a good deal to consumers because it is hard to reason about n-th order economic effects. The profits these companies make are ultimately coming from all of our wallets.
That's kind of the point on .deb not being the best format for distributing packages. Having it be treated by the OS as both an archive format and an application is unnecessarily confusing. MacOS applications are secretly just folders, but most users don't even know that. It might be obvious to someone like you or I, but most people don't want to do more than just click the app and type their password to launch/install it.

I have more than a handful of gripes about Windows, but I can at least say that clicking an .exe has a very clearly defined and understandable behavior.

one could argue that those people, in the end would be better off by actually joining the union and demanding better rights.

There is a reason socialism is inherently internationalist. Capitalistic society is not bound by national borders, and thus the exploitation of labour is a class issue that tranceeds national boundaries. Workers in different places are far more similar then people from different class in the same place.
No, i'm using node.js, fastify, postgreSQL. The interface is going to be very easy. Probably easy html+css (bootstrap) and simple JS, but maybe i'll try to learn a bit of some FE framework (I essentially know nothing about FE).
> The primary argument against crypto is that it shows why an open, stable, well structured professional governing state is crucial to the preservation of property rights. It painfully highlights all the problems that happen when you create these assets in a way that's ideologically against statecraft.

I mean, that was my point. It wasn't meant to be a 'truism', it was meant to illustrate that your investment making money isn't nearly as valuable if that value is lost because of problems that don't exist with other investments.

If I put money into a fund and the owner dies I can still get my money through the courts. If a crypto wallet owner dies and has the keys in his head, it is gone forever. Same thing with options for investing. If I have to use a crypto exchange to do my trading, then the chances of losing my assets increases exponentially.
I am in fact a little reluctant to use "progressive" since it is becoming overloaded and meaningless these days, but that was the term used by the OP so I'm going with it.
It's a game of numbers. Few developers, many users. The more users you have the more sinful it is to waste their time.

But we don't realise it because we have no idea how harmful it really is to waste a few seconds a day for millions of users.

Was looking to make something like this, but glad its out there already.

We'll get there eventually...
A nonprofit wouldn't have to distribute profits to charity. It just can't distribute profits to private or public shareholders (because it can't have them). A nonprofit is obligated to reinvest any earnings towards its mission.

Not remotely an expert, this is just my basic understanding. "Nonprofit" is a pretty abused term.
This is like the "AI can't draw hands" argument. At the current rate of progress AI will be able to draw hands by next year. And it will be able to write increasingly correct code.

It wrote much worse code last year, and couldn't write passable code in 2021.
