How does your writer process deal with failures / tracking state of what it has written / prune the file when it doesn't need old data anymore? You don't have to use SQS but this problem has tons of available options, I

Implicit in protecting a business is that the business continues to exist, i.e., that it's run competently and can hit revenue targets, it can grow, etc. Focusing on rules & decorum is playing from behind, rather than thinking abo

Yes I came here to talk about bandwidth too, which is not mentioned in the article at all but can be the biggest engineering cost focus depending on app/scale :-). Over 10tb of transfer you can (and should) negotiate some cheaper pre-

So it’s 4x the size of mpc-hc, did the sky really fall here? I’m not on a computer but quickly scanning the repo there’s a fair number of image assets, so I don’t really know that that’s a good proxy for “bloat”

In the video, the woman’s face is clearly visible and there is no obvious criminal activity taking place. The Facebook post shows her passing between two cars. She pulls the door handle of one of the cars, but it is locked.

I felt like this got very close to what the parent was talking about: Work as hard as you can. Even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work. Realistically if the who + what is mor

This isn't a DigitalOcean option (I don't think anyways, I've never seen it), but on AWS/GCloud/Azure you can absolutely exchange money in order to get faster support SLAs, or even AWS solutions experts hanging out

This is actually a decent point, and tech has only recently realized that they need lobbyists in order to smooth the legislative runways (this is the most charitable description I could imagine for what is being done here). Congress & t

Oh I am fully aware of people’s eagerness, which is why I’m not even going to start with the parent poster. I’m here for anyone else who comes by who innocently thinks that might be good advice ;-)

Regardless of the ethics of this approach (I don't even want to touch that part), continuously charging back has a number of ways that can ultimately hurt you: 1. If you run this scheme enough and your credit card company flags your ac

Yeah I feel like sponsored content is going to be a flash in the pan on the timeline of history. I do read some sites that monetize that way, but I discount the value of what I’m reading so far that I don’t think that model is built to last

At my previous workplace we were using https://greenkeeper.io/ and locking dependencies, which i think may be the perfect compromise between those 2 systems of organization. You get pinned dependencies, resulting in stable

Some of this is tied up in wishful thinking I’m sure, but focus on the macro and not the micro. I don’t think any of us can be the best version of ourselves without learning from the worst versions of ourselves. I’m sure that mailman had ba
