Were you able to perform operations given ARM services were down? Were you using your secondary DB for read-only or did you fail-over some other way?

If they said this, "because they are actively working to understand and fix the problem but haven't come to a well resound solution and thus they cannot give you a decent time estimate because you will probably get even more mad i

The worst part has been the poor communication. If they were to give clearer insight from the get go, that'd give me more confidence and patience. Saying "check back in 2 hours" isn't useful.

Why not do PRGN2 or PRNGEx, like they've done with other functions? Maybe they have and I'm just blowing hot air.

Can you elaborate on why you think it's invasive? I don't think it is. I'm curious where people who do things similar to you hang out. It could be as simple as "reddit" or "hn". I'm not looking for pe

Aren't dividends better because you get to keep your shares? An employee who needs to increase their earning by selling ownership of a company risks losing the continued stream that they'd collect via dividends. If I get dividends

I think there are a few limitations with this: 1. It assumes you're operating on a single instance cloud service. If you're operating with many instances, you could end up sending the challenge information to one instance and anot

It is indeed interesting to consider things like connection draining and playing nicely with the LB. Even in scenarios where machines are just removed for non-scheduled reasons.

If there is one area ripe for disruption, it's US health care. A few months ago my wife was showing me atrocious bills people were posting on FB, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It hit home because we "accidentally&quo

That may apply to certain things, but I'm not going to use more napkins for the heck of it.

Are there any tutorials for this? I would love to learn more.

Some editions are, I suppose. For many things VS Community is free though.

"So on one hand we don’t want to write everything in C “for speed” but on the other hand we need to avoid showstoppers such as Python, a bottleneck data structure stored on disk, a quadratic algorithm, etc." That part about Python

Sorry, totally missed this because there is no notification system here... Let's say you have a large, tight loop in which Redis is used. If it's local, great, no problem. Now when it's centralized, you introduced a network d

In-memory cache: Redis. Do you typically run Redis on the same host as your web server? Treating it as "in-memory" can have interesting side effects as you centralize it and introduce network delays.

Is lazy loading really that widely used? I used it once and it led to all sorts of issues unless I managed everything myself. I much prefer to have it off and rely on explicitly getting what I need.

That's interesting. My dad (half German) is the same way. After having gone to the dentist and seeing that, I though to myself, if he can do it, so can I. I now prefer it over having a numb mouth the whole day. I've never had to t

I don't think giving up at this point is something I would do in your position. You're pretty much primed when it comes to interviewing. Not sure if it's kosher or not, but I'm curious on your background, experience and
