Expecto Patronuses?

Yes, all sites from this media group is a cookie hell, https://twitter.com/cyberfart/status/1004822971683352576

Yes, locks are server-side.

MongoDB Ops Manager [1] (previously MMS) is also quite nice, it's between Atlas and do-it-yourself.

Thankfully somebody said forum. Googling "SA forum" will have correct top result.

Not all heroes wear capes.

Starting out, it helps keep cost low while still having presence in multiple platforms. I hate every electron based app I use but that's exactly what I would use in an early company.

Can't really say much about bigger companies though.

There are some other examples from Bill Gates/Microsoft in this reddit thread [1].

Regards to comments mentioning that this is three F9s strapped together: While this is somewhat true, the development of this program was apparently lot more difficult than just tying them together. I remember Musk mentioning that they had underestimated the problem, the two additional boosters changed the dynamics significantly, and the core booster had to be redesigned to accommodate the new load parameters.

Needless to say, I'm extremely excited to even see a static fire of this monster. Re-using boosters for your early development is pretty nice and efficient too I imagine.

You clearly need to enable cloud auto-updates, duh.

It's not. I'm just a pissed of person annoyed by scummy user acquisition practices.

And I suspected that in EU, storing e-mail addresses without user's permission might actually be illegal.

Veritasium had a video explaining this a few years back, it's one of the videos responsible for sparking my interest in physics and cosmology.

Though I'd expect this system to be mechanical and not connected, you could also disable the limiters and let the turbine destroy itself with high rpm if the winds are sufficient. Not sure how often they are.

"In total, there were 66876 public packages from 15495 accounts directly affected — about 13% of the whole npm ecosystem.

Taking dependencies into an account, to my estimations about 52% of the ecosystem was affected — i.e. that number of packages install affected ones along with them through dependency chains."

It doesn't "resist change" as much as it just makes it easy to tell that it was manipulated. Now you can go ahead and rehash the following blocks in the chain (if you can) but with only you having that chain and nobody else, it will be discarded in a distributed system.

"We have proposed DECO, a simplification of concurrent programming techniques targeted at programmers with little understanding of concurrent programming." (from paper)

gave me the chills

I remember doing the same. Starting with a Qbasic book I had bought with the little money I had, I was already writing mud-like games and calculating prime numbers after only an hour. Though I wasn't lucky enough to have done it at that age. Lucky kid :)

Nice to stumble upon forever.fm on this thread. I like it a lot and been listening to it for some time.

you sir, just won my first ever comment upvote (well, probably not the first ever)

Fahrenheit/Celcius toggle changes the visibility value but the unit stays the same (mi)

there is a C/F toggle at the upper right corner

I don't think recovery after dd would be possible. Also, why if=/dev/random and not if=/dev/zero?

About the huge cost increase people mention in the comments: New cost unit is IH (Instance Hour) and GAE python scheduler has a habit of revving up new instances aggressively. To lower costs one needs to lower Max Idle Instances and -maybe depending on the situation- increase Min Pending Latency, thus lowering the Instance count (and the cost).

With the price increase and very harsh cut down on API free-quotas (plus the absence of long expected SSL on custom domains) GAE no longer seems a good option for me :/
