The difference is that multirepo large project dev and dep mgmt are problems solved today with existing, widely used tooling. With monorepo, I’m DIYing scalability onto a system not designed for it.

if one were to read the motivating factors behind personas as described in “the inmates are running the asylum”, one would never come up with A. If one were to follow agile in principle (do; evaluate; improve what hurts; repeat), one would

Hear hear on anti-design! It is avoidance of design. Designing well is hard. Easy escape route: metrics! By the time you ship a design with these metrics, much like usability testing, it is too late. You have just spent a bunch of time buil

Indeed, Occam's razor says poor IP geolocation. What are the chances that you are being monitored by NSA from Texas, or that the geolocation database is stale or wrong?

It is not true that Tim Cook struck a deal with the NSA. Nor is it true that Apple has worked with the NSA for PRISM. NSA likely exploited the SSL vulnerability in iOS 6.0 (released Sept 2012, NSA added Apple Oct 2012) and got access to sno

There's also http://jmespath.org -- the syntax for which is supported in AWS CLIs. Not sure which one is better at this point. Using jq still often feels like trying to decode a code golf contest entry.

Religious-based prohibitionism of premarital sex is a real problem in America. It's one of the frontiers of the culture war. So, please, donate to your local Planned Parenthood.

This case is such atrocious abuse of power. The fallout from this case did not affect nearly enough people. Think of all the enablers of this behavior at the various stages. The patriarchy has much of America in their clutch at various le

The real problem is that the Java EE style architecture introduces so many bullshit layers that you lose sight of real layers that you need to worry about.

I think the fact that consumers get the short of the stick in the CRA business model is a very real problem. It's an oligopoly with no chance for competition. Just because CRAs have some upsides to the economy doesn't mean that we

"Angry people demand; professionals “require.” " YES YES YES--it's not enough to merely be aware of the connotations of your words. You must also be aware of any unintended information conveyed through their use. For example,

New Apple TV (4th gen) doesn't automatically add new apps to your home screen anymore! No more crapware on update. IMO the new Apple TV is substantially better/more usable than the old Apple TV. It made me hate my cable box &

What is the reasoning behind not using sharding and homing each customer to a replica set? How did you deal with customers growing large or spiking in usage? How did you manage such hot spots? Sharding is one of the key benefits of MongoDB

The vault is a local extension. It does not run off lastpass.com, unless you actually log into the website-based online vault.

I think this is NOT the case. You are looking at intermediate data of what's stored in your decrypted blob. Yes, some things are encrypted twice in the Lastpass vault. The contents considered "unencrypted" by the blog post ar

Default Java 8 Map implementation is merely: "get X. if X absent, compute for X, put X." These lines of code have been written over and over again for anyone using a Map in Java, no doubt. It is entirely trivial and almost impossi

Scala still has a very powerful type system. Generics in Java are almost entirely syntactical sugar (due to type erasure). E.g. if you are coming from modern C++ use and you are comfortable with templates, you might be disappointed with giv

The thread-safe implementation of computeIfAbsent in ConcurrentHashMap is the real improvement. "computeIfAbsent" on a non-concurrent Map is merely syntactic sugar.

by astral303 10y ago
To me, the single most useful/important addition to Java 8 ConcurrentHashMap is the addition and implementation of "computeIfAbsent". With CHM and computeIfAbsent, it's easy to write lazy loading "by key" (i.e.

Don't feed your cat until 7am no matter what. Ignore all foot rubs and meows. He'll eventually learn and give up. Operant conditioning. Watch out though for that extra-hard last ditch effort he will put out before giving up. Stay
