You find out why they’re flaky, and fix them. If they’re flaky in testing, there’s probably something flaky in real world use. If they’re flaky because of something specific to the test environment then they’re not testing what you think th

What would it mean for a PaaS to be open source? Does it mean you have to deploy it yourself on your own hardware/cloud? That seems like it would obviate the benefits of PaaS where someone else is taking care of running everything und

One can oppose something peacefully. Which is not to say I can make heads or tails of OP’s claims, which are just this side of word salad.

Sardines, too, which are also fishier than salmon but tend not to be salted the way mackerel is. Unless you’re also consuming all the oil from the can, prefer fish canned in water to canned in oil — because apparently the omega-3s can leach

Thankfully one of the neighbors “owns” the list and sends out an email with updates any time it changes. You’re supposed to reach everyone by reply-all-ing to the latest one. To unsubscribe, you email the organizer; to subscribe, you ask a

Gave up at the second one because it was so painful to try to read code with only about 20 chars showing per line and having to scroll sideways back and forth. Not worth it.

Because 4 was a travesty unless you’re REALLY into religion. 3 was a great game for those who prefer building over war, and the first one with a proper non-military victory option.

Email works very well for this. I do wish my neighborhood association would move to a Google group, because right now it’s a massive CC list. Mail hosts tend not to like that very much, and it’s not the most privacy-minded solution. Several

Give at least one person per day — whom you otherwise wouldn’t — a few words of genuine and specific appreciation. Friend, family, coworker, stranger. Doesn’t matter.

Because it was meant as a rhetorical device, not a literal request.

It sounds like you’re applying to enterprises rather than startups. There _will_ be a startup scene in your city, you just need to find it. Look for the meetups, gravitate to where the founders are, find out which meetups _they_ attend, and

Why not both? Profit at both ends. Selling your data to other ad outfits doesn’t decrease the likelihood you click their own ads.

I was a very early customer of BuildKite. It’s lovely, very ergonomic, and gives you so much control.

This is roughly how I feel about cloudformation. May we please have terraform back? Ansible, even?

Model training, perhaps. Web hosting? Not so much.

This also depends so much on your scaling needs. If you need 3 mid-sized ECS/EC2 instances, a load balancer, and a database with backups, renting those from AWS isn’t going to be significantly more expensive for a decent-sized company

Some web analytics libraries will take screen recordings of each user session. (No comment on the ethics of that.) Making a habit of watching those recordings in the early days of releasing a new feature or major UX change is a common patt

Yup. And the longer they’re homeless the higher the likelihood that they do develop health or drug problems and shift from being relatively easy to relatively difficult to get back on their feet. Plus, homeless youth can include kids as you

I got two of these for free in back to back years and signed up for both. One alerted about an online release of PII (mostly phone numbers and addresses) at the rate of a few per month, but there wasn’t really anything one could _do_ with
