Echoing this, early engineer at FullContact here -- I'd love to know what kinds of problems you ran into with our support team. More often than not, if the issue isn't trivially answerable the support team asks us directly. We&#x2

If it's anything like Apple maps, we'll have death tolls in the thousands.

Agreed. Doesn't make it any less crap, but it's good to see the opinion of the other side. I can sympathize with the position, even if I disagree. Investigations are hard enough to conduct as it is without having a potential treas

Since S3 is the defacto artifact delivery system for most people that run on AWS, it's not much of a surprise. For the most part, very isolated incidents aside, S3 is rock solid. Even EC2 relies on S3 for launching non-EBS instances.

It's not true as far as I can tell. You need this flag set or it keeps DNS entries forever, at least on the JVM we run (Oracle, 1.8u51).

Sounds like the bible belt[1]. Come visit the rest of the US, it's a vastly different experience. Not that we don't have our share of issues, but explicit hate speech is vastly reduced, people believe in climate change and evoluti

That's a pretty broad brush to paint a country of 350+ million citizens.

Came here to make the same point. Named timezones like America/Los Angeles are still important because they refer to both the timezone offset as well as the DST rules that govern that particular political zone. That being said, the gis

> That automobiles are recalled for reasons other than hardware replacement is a recent phenomenon. Sure, but how often are they doing major surgery vs. replacing a part / doing a patch? It sounds to me like properly fixing this iss

You need a larger team to do automatic failover because getting it right is a massive PITA. Either that or pay someone to do it right for you, e.g. RDS, managed solutions. Manual failover is often a lot safer, automatic systems have a nasty

Go outside your comfort zone, learn a functional language and give a talk on it. Learn higher-level maths. (IMO) There's satisfaction and clarity to be found there if your current path isn't challenging you. You might find that it

At least in our resume-tracking software, there's a bunch of pre-canned messages you can use if you choose to, I imagine it's much the same there.

It's possible the position was filled, so some hiring manager just cleared the queue.

I'll assume that you're asking out of a genuine curiosity born from a lack of knowledge of either system and not a question of "why was this made?" Hadoop is a computing ecosystem. The Hadoop project is not only a comput

I really like this idea FWIW. That said, there's some big barriers to making it a reality. I think it'd be difficult to get enough external services to integrate into the personal service for grabbing Github/Yelp/etc. da

It is? Doesn't look like it. Looks like this is about turning your own data into an API, not another company selling data about you.

BFG is amazing for helping you switch a repo from private to public, especially when you might have been lazy early on and kept credentials in your repo, even if you shouldn't have. You can replace your known credentials with REDACTE

That's the way Megastore does it too. Optional 2PC for transactions that span entity groups. So what's wrong with 2PC?

I would play this. Incredible work, so much detail going into the actual car. I rather appreciated his dry humor in the YouTube video, it's worth the watch even at 60 minutes.
