I wonder how many of those events will still occur, and how long it will take them to reach those crowd sizes again.

This. Single folks without children have no gauge on reality during a lockdown, especially if they still have jobs and are working from home.

My company seems to be consistently behind the edge data with regards to policy. For instance, self isolation is still 14 days. This isn't enough. They are also restricting isolation and travel only to "affected areas of Italy&quo

There's no reason to test if there aren't any confirmed cases. You can't confirm a case unless you test... And thus, how we find it now is bursting clusters with illnesses that can't be hidden by "flu." By then

What if the automation breaks? Zero ops is a good goal as.it builds the right incentives but even the most mature systems need a good run book.

Micro services don't only provide horizontal scaling but also operational scaling, including risk of deployments, downtime, release coordination and contributions from multiple workstreams or teams. Sometimes applications with only 100

The risk isn't small compared to the value add, especially if all they are doing is providing an abstraction layer that isn't "too hard." The value seems to be free hosting for the polling and scheduling. This isn't

It leverages GitHub repositories as it's data and customer base. The integration and network effect means the crowd sourcing works for everyone using GitHub, which is used more thoroughly than snyk.io (which I've never heard of)

This seems materially different than the reverse operation - taking a book and turning it into an audio experience. Doing so may diminish the book's experience because the AI voice / TTS may not convey the book correctly and could

And it seems like he focused more on making sure that his artists were replaceable, even at the price of a hodge-podge style. The criticism is legitimate - it doesn't seem like Jeff has invested in his own ability to direct art.

Jeff has had 25 years to get good at it. Based on the reasoning in his article, it seems like he didn't try.

You would think after 25 years of making games he'd have enough sense to direct art himself in some way. Seems like he's rationalizing his choices instead of taking it upon himself to learn from his customer's criticisms and

The article explains why this is so. Arguably with some art direction from Jeff himself he can make art that is more easily replicable, but the reasoning seems to be that "I have to be able to swap artists out." Instead of learnin

At one point in my career I was masochistic enough to work at IBM in the AIX power division. We were working on sub-components of DB2 where speed was critical to the point where production configurations took advantage of uDAPL as well.

While completely true, this viewpoint is a little cynical. The challenge in those instances is to think about how to lead these people positively to do the same? How can you make emails seem like a gift? That's how I approach it when I

Some senior engineers have been in the game long enough that they could have a reputable cs degree without classes in DB or distributed systems. Now it seems less likely, but after teaching Java, C++, C, the other topics were electives.

What are the values? How well are they defined? It's a popularity contest which just creates a new type of politics unless its super well defined and easily demonstrable and measurable. This seems like a great way to push out your bril

And one of them is left-pad. In all honesty though, even the # of downloaded packages isn't instructive. What I'd LOVE to see is the average # of NPM packages used in javascript / typescript projects over time. I get the feel
