Oh lord. I'm oncall and we were like "WHATS HAPPENING"

YES! None of these news articles seem to address this important question.

Edit: I meant "yes, someone with more knowledge please answer this question". Not "yes, it could be dark matter"

https://aatishb.com/covidtrends/ is a pretty cool related resource

Bad idea. You would be just rolling heads of people who just learnt a valuable lesson in high throughput services. Keep them around, they'll get better than hiring someone else who will have to spend more time learning the same lesson.

Used Mattermost for a year, and I can attest to it's shittiness. There is a bug during switching channels that pins your view to some random location weeks before the latest post. The result is that switching channel in Mattermost has a 60% chance of requiring you to spend the next 30 seconds scrolling the window to the bottommost-recent-message. Horrible.

So true. So many people I know and myself included are tired of the "rat race".

We don't want to keep working for nothing, we don't want to keep hoping for that next raise, we don't want to pretend to be smarter or cooler or better than we are. What a horrible way to live in the age of plenty. Maybe, we like cold pizza.

Bougey is a dirty word. We want to chill. We want fairness. Simplicity is where Happiness lies. There's nothing bad about that.

What is "grand" anyway? Those 500 people currently living that the rest 7+ billion should aspire to be? Nah. I'd rather be like my grandfather. Smiling even when I'm old.

It's hearkening back to a simpler time, and this gives me hope that more people might be "getting it"

We do a similar thing. Additionally, we use logrotate to move these files into S3, which later get ETLed into Parquet so we can scoop it for long term analytics.

Orange actually reported this bug to urllib. The ticket in the HN link is actually a DUP of Orange's original finding

You just did a microaggression by calling them paranoid.

:) Cool that you recognize that.

This is correct. Coverity does a bunch of specific analyses designed to eliminate False positives. This includes analysis to determine which data states are not possible for a given code path, and doesn't report those specific issues. This also works using data across function calls.

For C/C++/C#, Coverity has by far the lowest false positive rates, which make it probably the best in class for those languages.

Disclosure: I used to work at Coverity.

A grade is a record of the knowledge at a given point in time.

Can someone provide some examples where you would lose money in an SIPC insured account(like in Robinhood, presumably backed by low risk securities) that would otherwise be safe in a FDIC insured account?

OMG, they're my favourite youtube people. So, much, joy.

This is a requirement for PCI. So I'm sure all integrations will cease to work with older TLS.

Slightly OT, but I'm trying to make a point: Is any analysis of anything truly unbiased? I think it's fairly impossible to claim that.

Those numbers you are quoting in [1] is BECAUSE of the bias.

Who do I trust? A person I can identify by name and track a person down who has written an article. Or an anonymous account on HN named 'throwaway*'. Yea...you see?

I've been running this command on my mac for over 10 minutes, trying different stuff, nothing. Also tried "sudo tcpdump -i any -s 0 -n port 53 -v". What's going on?

They were off of it quite a while ago from what I remember. Perhaps they are completely off of it, as in, "we deleted our account" off of it.

It's not easy to fire employees.

Firing employees can scare and stress other employees, create bad blood and criticism on job boards which will make it even harder to hire good employees. Firing might mean you have to still pay the employee for a few months. It might be hard to determine if an employee is a complete failure, which means you might have to give the employee a few months to maybe even a year if you want to accurately determine if they're not performing. It's not cheap at all.

> There's also a well-known gap between what people say they want to watch vs what they actually watch, they should absolutely be optimizing for the latter.

That's the point isn't it? They will optimize for the latter, but I want to optimize for the former.

I find the Netflix recommendations largely non-beneficial considering their lack of selection. Most of the movies/series I want to watch are not on Netflix at all.

Moreover - I think the internal algorithm for training their models will be to maximize "continuations" of watching series enabling binge-watching. While this may be a good measure of engagement for THEM, it hardly is for ME. I would much rather that the choice was made out of the global list of "good stuff I should be watching" versus the "list of stuff Netflix sales people could buy and negotiate for".

I do think it's cool that when you type in a title that's NOT in their system - they can recognize it and recommend similar titles - although - it's a very good bet that actually clicking and watching one of those is highly likely going to a waste of time.

hansa was serving plain http. I wonder how much this matters since they use gpg for making orders.

I have always used AWS Route53. I didn't even know that ALIAS records were not a standard thing.

We've all learnt that "peer reviewed work" is code for "accept other peoples papers so they will accept ours" and has nothing to do with confirming the finding.

Well, there has to be a little offset to compensate for the size. It's easier to grow a smaller business at high rates than it is at Facebook scale.

Let's be fair, it's not really virtue-signalling. They DID do something. Virtue-signalling is when no action was taken or no effort was applied. If they had proclaimed or denounced or simply made ad campaigns, that would be virtue-signalling.

This is a Democrat proposal

Bashing C is like bashing English. Well, maybe Tolkien Elvish might have a better grammar system, but really come on now.

"evil" - or usually known as - not my side
