MySQL8 supports functional indexes and concurrent indexing fyi. It still does not have transactional DDL nor partial indexes.
Is your organization aware that Microsoft owns Github and your Azure stuff is most likely hosted inside Microsoft data centers exactly like Github? Seems like a weird line in the sand to draw.
> Microsoft under Satya Nadella is a very different company from what it once was.
Yeah, Microsoft is doing great things in other areas. VS Code, Windows 10, WSL, DirectX on WSL, the massive focus on open source and giving back to the community. I just found MS Teams in particular is unusable garbage, but I'm very happy with Microsoft otherwise.
I don't know if you're old enough but MS Comic Chat was significantly superior to Microsoft Teams.
Why the does chat need to take up so much space on the screen and why is everything presented in basically an old school SMS layout (I'm looking at you too, Signal). I tried a handful of their integrations nothing worked correctly. Trying to simply enable github commits/PRs/etc was a confusing nightmare of authenticating multiple parties and ultimately all it did was have a chatbot privately spam me, but couldn't have it reside in a channel.
Screen sharing is a disaster for everything business oriented too (ms teams, zoom, slack, whatever google's thing is called this week). They're slow, laggy, frequently crash, and resolution is unreadable most of the time. If you need to have screen sharing where your voice chat happens at the same time as your video actions, Discord is the only thing that works flawlessly. It's superior on simple voice chat too, persistent voice chat rooms, etc. It's lovely software.

You should take a look at Fed actions regarding public markets over the past few months.
If I held through expiration and the short leg (AMZN $2640) was assigned, I would be contractually obligated to buy 300 shares of Amazon at $2640 a piece. This would briefly reduce my buying power by -$792,000. But as I also hold a contract to sell 300 shares of Amazon at $2635 ($790,500), it would have a net cost of only $1,500. And since I already received $600 up front, it would be just $900 additional out of pocket. But for a period of time, my account balance would have displayed -$792k.
Robinhood's UI is not particularly informative in this process either.
I know this comes across as snarky but it really worries me that contemporary engineers think this is a feat worthy of a blog post. For example, take this book from 2003 [1] talking about Apache + mod_perl. Page 325 [2] shows a benchmark: "As you can see, the server was able to respond on average to 856 requests per second... and 10 milliseconds to process each request".
And just to show this isn't a NodeJS vs Rust thing, check out these webframework benchmarks using various JS frameworks [3]. The worst performer on there still does >500 rps while the best does 500,000.
It's 2020, the bar needs to be much higher.

This kid didn't lose $700k, his account just shows -$700k until Monday morning when it will update with the other leg being exercised and he probably lost a few grand instead. Here's a similar situation where someone thought they lost $172k, when in reality they lost $2k. [1]. It's a combination of a shitty UI and people not understanding option spreads.

Yes. That's also what I said above when I said "Google can sue them". It's not illegal is my entire point. You can sue anyone, for any reason, at any time, and even win. That doesn't make something illegal.
If Google sends them a C&D, and expressly forbids them from doing this activity, and implements technical measures to prevent them from doing so, and they continue doing so then they may start approaching the area of illegal (Craigslist v. 3Taps would agree, hiQ v. LinkedIn would disagree).
It's not illegal. Google can sue them and bury them in court fees and potentially win a civil suit, but it sure as hell isn't illegal.

It really depends on how the application is designed. Fork operates through mmap and copy-on-write. It's extremely lightweight by default.
A well-designed fork-based application will already have everything necessary to run a given process into memory, not munge any of the existing shared memory, and only allocate and free memory associated with new events/connections/etc.
When programmed that way, individual forks are incredibly light on resources. All the workers are sharing the exact same core application code and logic in memory.
Whether or not the above even holds today (hiQ Labs v. LinkedIn argues it does not) remains to be decided in a current appeal to the Supreme Court.
Okay, so don't? I think individual languages are better when they don't add every feature under the sun that happens to be popular in the moment. PHP doesn't need threads and it sure as hell doesn't need async. PHP multiprocessing works the old way just fine (fork).
> Today's "best practices" for PHP are to use typehints everywhere.
Yeah, and it's a result of people constantly bitching about PHP lacking features. It's really annoying because it gives credence to complaints like this, I really wish they would have just replied to the strict-types demands with "No, fuck off, this is a dynamic language."
If you must use PHP, I would strongly suggest you use it the way it was intended and stop trying to shoehorn other language features and paradigms into it, you will be much happier. If we simply treat PHP as a dynamically typed C, everything is so much easier.
Not to mention the screensharing is infinitely better as well. It's pretty pathetic of the busines sapps, we went through a day where I was trying to screenshare something and my remote coworkers kept complaining of lag, blurriness, or the app would just crash (slack). We went through ms teams, zoom, slack, and google meet. All had issues. Convinced everyone to install Discord and suddenly I was able to shared my desktop perfectly at 1080p without noticeable lag and crystal clear audio.
The difference is the stay-at-home protesters overwhelmingly didn't wear masks [1] and the BLM protesters are overwhelmingly wearing masks [2]. Hong Kong has proven it's possible to have massive protests while wearing masks and not being vectors of infection. [3]

Clip for context. The guy on the ground hits an officer in the helmet, once, at 0:30. If you think their response was measured and appropriate and followed ROE/EOF, then I feel sorry for the worldview you hold.
If it's a newsletter I actually signed up for, I respect that and will unsubscribe, but the majority is unsolicited spam where a company feels is OK because I happened to have bought a product they can now email me 8 times a day.
The OP submission just renders it on a map.
