> . It is a bit scary that we are putting so many eggs in one basket.

We said the same when AWS was down. Same when fastly CDN is down. It turns out we are not putting eggs in one basket but we are putting all our (an organization's offerings) in one basket (cloud provider). That seems to be the core issue IMO.

India will be next to ban Twitter if Twitter decides to NOT abide by social media laws made by the country government which other social media companies have promised to / are working towards.

Sorry, Key context was missing.

Personal opinion: I do not think they'll outright ban it, if they do, there will be some change in public opinion for sure.

I agree with this sentiment as a technical person but no matter how we put it, stack overflow's primary market will be technical people no matter the various *.stackexchange.com sites. That leads to a limit in reach / monetization / RoI which leads to lower price (IMO)

I am not the original commentator but all the replies to this seem like attacking the individual (for a lack of better term) than providing a counter argument. They clearly state that they have been donating and assume that "their intention is to just increase their coffers with no clear plan on WHAT they are going to use it."

Is that wrong ? Far from reality? Help them (and readers like me) get a clear understanding.

OKAY, it is an ugly accusation considering "don’t know what it takes to run a globally available top site", but why? How much does it cost to run a Wiki like site on that high traffic using some modified form of mediawiki platform?

I am just trying to get a clearer understanding than attacking / siding anyone

> I use a ~100 line long DOM diffing algorithm

Since this is not vDOM diffing (which most JS frameworks nowadays provide) can you help share the algorithm if its already out in the open / non-proprietary?

And they are back up (at least for me, India). I hope it was not a push on Friday evening or worse "after EoD".

I was using self hosted gitlab (plus runner) . It did the job perfectly well but was too resource heavy. Moved to Gitea and haven't looked back. Although extensibility / plugins are not there yet, but still for "git" it works wonders.

Curious as an outsider, which parts are not?

wow. Which story was this? Would love to read about this.

where can we do this? All searches result in "DuckDuck vs Google" , how ddg is better etc.

This is so true. My workstation was i5 2nd generation with my development code running on a partition which was on HDD, the timings for every request were ~200ms to 1s depending on multiple factors. Page performance in chrome was constantly ~1s total.

I upgraded to latest i5 with SSD for data, and the performance drops are basically 0. It bothers me that there is something which needs improvement and I cant check on a commit to commit basis. But yes, it is very easy to oversee performance drops due to new / faster hardware.

> This can have a big impact for end users. Imagine an authenticator app ending service to all their users in such a scheme and how you will be cut out from all your accounts by this. How many authenticator apps do you have to use in parallel to mitigate this risk of a single point of failure?

This right here is a big reason, apart from actual restorable backups, why I root my Android device. Sure it is not required nowadays but it does give a sense of control if thats the right word.

So many times I had to restore older copies of apps like Chess or even Yoga app. The older apps allowed a functionality (downloadable content for offline view) which was straightup removed in newer versions.

Same for Authenticator or any other app which does things locally.

Can confirm. With multiple other amazing things he brought to the table, he was super excited about things we were doing no matter how small or big. He truly respected everyone. Definitely will be missed.

Indeed lost a child.

The thing which shocked me equally was Reddit removing him from the official "about us"[1] as a co founder. As if he never existed in Reddit's history.

> I thought it was the fundamental idea behind the tech industry.

It is. But it seems that lately governments in their own silos are thinking I can do it, you cant.

PS: Not saying in any way to allow capture of vast swaths of information to anyone :)

This seems so bad from the gist of it, any big / famous examples? Would love to read more.

PHP7 (coming from earlier versions comparatively)

I thought I was the only one. Seems like they did ban. Not sure before or after the announcement

Yeah I mean sure, see, my personal POV is the world isnt binary and there are always, always edge cases. The thing you said seems more of an edge case where one comment is sufficient. But this has to be the exceptional cases, not the norm (however, it is not a norm for reddit users, surely is for celebrities / well known figures)

I am not the original commentor but would like to address :

> > It is an absolute disgrace how it's become normal > Why?

I have seen where almost ALL discussions lead to judgement based on politics and that takes away from the core discussion point. What is the point of having separate subs then?

For example take this link (https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/khlnyz/ronaldinho_o...), this was the top post on the subreddit when I saw it last night, the top-most comment is not about well wishes for his mother OR about how he thought about Covid OR whether or not he denied covid but rather the fact that he is "right-wing". Now I understand how bad it is but that is not the point of the sub. And that has become the norm , at least on reddit, which if not a disgrace, at least leaves a bad taste.

I've seen people take time to go through your profile and dig out one comment and then label you, just one. That feels like a disgrace.

IANAL and do not have the exact understanding but wouldn't something like Redis's RSAL work in this case but for Cent OS and Cloud providers?

Quality insight from someone who has actually gone through this. Thank you!

If you could share, can you share what exactly led to the discovery that things are unreachable. Were there any status check mechanisms you were able to put in place to check that incident was raised and / or solved?

Also, do you still continue that (Email login / OTP login) OR is it moved something else?

I am very pleased to see this response, genuinely. Our Technical Curiosity aside, there are literally people and teams in such big firms dedicated for this.

> Glassdoor is not a place to find honest company reviews.

... which genuinely raises the question, what is a place to find honest company reviews except actually personally knowing someone working there?

One thing that comments so far down here do not highlight is that there was a recent change in the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act where there were changes in the amount of money / limit of administrative expenditure that can be allocated to foreign contributions to 20 percent from the previous 50 percent and, Enforcement Directorate had issued a show-cause notice to Amnesty International India recently (I think in 2019).

So while yeah, online discussions mostly conclude to simplest possible explanation i.e. authoritarian / totalitarian / nationalism / and what not - This notice comes just days after FCRA was changed in India, that might be the pushing point / breakpoint towards closure rather than "Government Witchhunt", because Amnesty has been getting the show-causes notices for some time now.

The key (for any product), from what I have learned and have no experience of it, seems to be finding a `beachhead market`, a startup term for finding a smallest possible subset of a niche, where you can dominate (establish a community in this case) and then grow from there one step at a time.

I have had this doubt for a very long time and I feel HN is the right place to possibly get some non-defensive / non-trolls response to it.

I am an Indian and here (I'd say most of Asia) we have a very strong culture of staying with parents, living together and everything. I mean unless absolutely required , kids do not live separately.

What are your views on it, as a westerner? Except the financial angle.

Fair warnings and a genuine suggestion. Thank you :)

> Anyway, point is, there’s plenty of variety out there!

Where can we find those? Almost every job posting ever needs 6-7 different technologies with multi-year experience in almost every.

Please do not take this the wrong way, I am genuinely curious, apart from constant learning / re-learning, what are the other things which people don't talk about when talking about Software Engineering (developer role).

I have worked as a consultant, sysadmin and developer but I was a fresher (when developer) at a $BIG_FIRM and everything had a process (Requirement gathering, analysis, etc. etc.) so it was not that Agile. curious to see how it is right now.
