Fair enough, though interactions with other processes and network conditions are not relevant for unit tests. Timings maybe, but then you still need a strategy to turn a failing test into information you can use to fix a bug.

> Well, yes. It's much easier to diagnose after the problem has been found :) That's kind of unfair, it's pretty much the logical deduction if you think about randomness in your unit tests. I.e., suppose the test fails, t

No, that was the one thing G+ got right. It just wasn't good enough to make up for the other deficiencies.

If you're at the point where you're worried about the timeout, you should also be worried about the disk space available to your Lambda. The file should be stored in and served from S3.

I'm familiar with your app, but only as a casual user. It's quite nice, btw. I'm having some trouble picturing this. Can you add some numbers? Like, how many nodes is the load balancer spreading the load over, and how many

O'Rourke just finished a huge campaign for the Senate in November, I assume it's that and not his just-launched presidential bid. (Disclaimer - I find the site hard to use and maybe it's obvious to someone else that it's

Not to mention that you have to trust the endpoint to ship their session keys. If one "forgets" or the key is "lost in the mail", there's no way to prove that message wasn't problematic.

Meh, I wouldn't read too much into it. Depending on the country in question, I could easily imagine headlines about "one African dictatorship", "one South American country", "one Eastern European country"

That bug is stuck on not breaking exactly this kind of behavior. They cite Dropbox in that thread (though I haven't read the followups yet), who has www.dropboxlocalhost.com resolving to 127.0.0.1. It sounds like Spotify does somethi

You can't get a certificate for localhost, but you can get one for foldinglocalhost.com and resolve that to 127.0.0.1.

Estimating in the small is not impossible, and if you are doing sprints you need to know what a sprint's worth of work looks like. But the whole idea of agile is that requirements will change during the life cycle of the project and y

I think it's also a result in a shift of the faith traditions. I'm not very religious, so I'm going to get some of this wrong but: there's been a shift in theological thinking in the US, where in the past good deeds wer

Does that ever happen? As a casual observer, I don't think I've ever seen it. When would a seller raise the asking price of a house already on the market?

As I posted below, there is a difference between observing how different people react to a particular comment (O(n)) and observing how different people react to a particular comment based on who it's from (O(n^2)). I'm mostly try

And the other way, one can notice how a person reacts to a comment without necessary needing to remember the source of it. Both of these are going to scale linearly (obviously). I might pick up on something like "A seems to respond to

There's a difference between observing how a comment was generally received and remembering exactly how each person reacted. I'm not saying nobody does the latter, but I don't.

And at that point, you've pretty much acknowledged that a true flat tax is unfair and regressive, and now we're just arguing over how many tax brackets there should be. You want there to be 1 but propose 2 with no argument for wh

Passing legislation now is not the reason she is proposing this. By the time the Democrats have the votes to even make passing this a possibility, it will no longer be a new idea and won't seem to radical.

True in theory, but virtually every mainstream "flat tax" that actually gets to the stage of having a concrete proposal acknowledges the need for deductions. I don't recall ever seeing a true flat tax.
