Like other people said, no job is worth your health. I'll repeat that one more time: NO JOB IS WORTH YOUR HEALTH.

Quit if you have to.

Kobo has daily deals going. Every day I open my wishlist and sort by price lowest to highest, and every few days I buy something.

that's an extremely odd explanation and it makes me think that he has some hidden PTSD. it's also insane that one person's preference trumps the rest of the world's.

I ordered something yesterday, expecting it today, and the confirmation email contains the actual product images and title (albeit trimmed).

Great website! Seems like the web version of this book (which is highly recommended btw): https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17985198-high-performanc...

I got 404s on some, and then one I recall was a 1-page PDF that had links to buy off amazon >_<

https://www.openculture.com/free_textbooks - none of the free textbooks that i tried worked? i picked a few from the CompSci category

I'm one of them. CORS is THE topic that I have to get a refresher for periodically. It's like I forget about it, it never sticks. I'm a backend developer so I never encounter any cors issues. Maybe that's why? I seem to forget things that I don't use on a day to day basis, so.

I have a kobo and I use Instapaper. Is this similar?

What was your main takeaway from that book?

If they could read, this would upset managers at Amazon.

My uni course on optimization was so much fun but I forgot all of it. This was a nice reminder that I should probably revisit the basics :)

Though I wish I could check them out on my Kobo...

I love this website. I wish I could search it in Spanish. I grew up watching the Simpsons in Spanish and I sometimes struggle to find the right clip because I don't know the exact translation

I hang up a flag on my balcony and it has worked for me.

Why?

I worked for AWS for two years and if I recall correctly, one of the issues was circular dependencies.

I experienced that too! In Canada. It was a head-scratcher, none of my teammates had issues, and i could access just fine on my phone but i couldn't on my home's wifi.

I love this. Well, in general, I love illustrated explanations :)

"Synchronized demand is the moment a large cohort of clients acts almost together. In a service with capacity ... requests per second and background load ..., the usable headroom is ..."

oh my god

I guess his comment is acceptable because this is OSS and it's not like he can get fired over it.

In a past employer I've left a PR comment with a much less aggressive tone, and the PR author messaged me saying "your message is unprofessional". Granted, it wasn't my best moment, I had snapped. But if I wrote something like what Linus wrote, i'd be insta-fired.

You want your own employer to fail?

I've always known within a week if I was going to like a job or not. I was right every time.

We used leaky bucket IIRC and the issue I saw was that the distributed aspect of it was coded incorrectly and so depending on the node you hit you were rate-limited or not :facepalm:

I have zero complaints about Go's error handling and I'm happy with the decision!
