I have, actually, worked on very large and interactive websites at the very core. Notably: betfair.com which has a very busy API and website and used to be something like a 1:10 write:read ratio with multiple clusters and layers of fancy ca

I appreciate what you're saying, but I don't think it quite applied. What I meant was that it's easy to create an architecture for an application that doesn't scale well at all. Eg - poorly sharded data, lots of cross de

It's because they're just serving a big site, not running the world's most sophisticated surveillance and ad serving machine. Serving giant websites isn't all that hard if you're just spewing out SQL queries into ht

If you win a bet, someone else loses one. Losers lose money to bookies, bookies very rarely lose it on to winners. Many people can enjoy responsible gambling. Many people cannot. Therefore, any time you win a bet, you're winning money

We also don't have an events department or a facilities management team, but we have plenty of fun parties and the kitchen always has coffee.

Unfortunate to be in your position. My solution is to not have HR and be a tiny company where we can happily ignore that kind of tedium.

Having gone on the journey of trying to spend the absolute minimum on recruiting to now effectively not caring what recruiters charge I think that paying, say, 15k for a strong senior engineer is a bargain. Stop wasting time generating lead

Probably they're Japanese players bought by us teams and so bring their families over. They're not immigrants and will likely go home and they're culturally Japanese, so I expect they practice Japanese norms on social media l

Given that you're a "big dude" (aka overweight?) I assume you are that way by choice given your comments about how you can control your appetite? I'm a bit of a fat bastard myself and I think what I've come to reali

I've no idea about how cravings work in general, but when I have a craving for two pizzas it's absolutely nothing to do with nutrients. I think you're probably correct for some subset of people/situations, but there&#x27

Using logical replication you can do this. Effectively, it propragtes only the data changes and you can control the ddl changes. I use this to great effect to have a prod db logically replicating to a data warehouse with different indexes a

I think it's probably to do with the fact that many of us here played it when it was first out and were either kids or much younger than we were now. My memory of that game is amazing, but I highly doubt I'd pick it up off the she

If I were apple I'd extend the definition of a kids app as any app thats userbase is kids by majority. Not sure how to enforce or detect that, though!

But it doesn't need to be fully automated. Automate 999 out of 1000 (probably quite easily) and flag the rest for human review. Surely we've got enough GPUs now to train a neural network smart enough to do that.

The recruitment is definitely a killer. If at all possible, outsource as much of that as you can. To internal recruiters, to engineers in your team, to external recruiters, to a pa you might want to hire to do bits of it.

Companies do not get to play that card in their defence. They know full well they are scatter gunning and that some small percentage of their ads will end up next to/in front of awful content. They know this - they've seen it happ
