Yeah I feel like the total silence causes me to focus on the ringing, which raises the intensity -- I think it's a mental thing. Whenever I use noise cancelling headphones (or really any headphones), I always have something playing eve

Friction logs are all well and good but only if you have the time to action on them At a past company we had a new lead designer come in and write a huge friction log but nothing happened because we’re already busy with tons of other higher

Yeah it ends up being a point of contact more than anything It’s still the PMs, Eng managers, and higher ups making most of the decisions* *At least at my current company

Place I worked had support staff copy-pasting mongo queries from google docs -- worked in the early days but eventually you have to start building an admin interface for more complicated processes When it was just mongo installs are easy si

Problem with mongo is if you start using more SQL like things like pipelines and aggregations your perf goes out the window you really have to think about how you structure your data in mongo for it to work with lots of queries since joins

Yeah Instagram has some blog posts outlining how they run their python web servers with the GC disabled Easy enough to restart the processes every once in a while

It's some home grown UI glued on top of Jenkins This is pretty much the one feature that's nice, otherwise it's like a worse version of circle/github actions

yeah I think the system is a combination, although I'm not sure the intricacies tbh I've heard google does something fancier where they take a test, run it a bunch after it fails to check if it's failed I think the system at

when the codebase gets large enough you need to allow some tests to "fail" but really I mean you need a way to quickly mark a failing test as flakey so the author can fix it while everyone else can get on with their day and merge

If you're in the Boston area go to Bagel world (technically not in Boston, but a little north of it) edit: for crossiants and other treats, A.J. King is my fav -- they supply a lot of the Boston cafes Kane's for donuts

I think as a concept a task queue with some workers makes a lot of sense but having used Celery in production, it leaves a lot to be desired We’ve run into various bugs and weird performance gotchas (like the workers prefetch jobs which is

Interesting so basically the more blades, the less efficient it gets but you get more thrust Sort of makes sense why drones have a couple blades so they can putter along for hours

That report API is interesting, I’ve seen it used for csp errors but not for browser errors, I wonder if error monitoring services support it

At least for me when building things the first thing I install after setting up a project is Sentry. They have a generous free tier and are open source so that’s a plus too

If you have a tagged union type with Boolean literals as the tags, like in the slack api, then you can’t say ‘if not res.ok’ to narrow the type, you have to say ‘if res.ok == True’ Which isn’t very pythonic imho Also I’m pretty sure ‘if res

Sewage still goes in the river during heavy rains at the numerous sewage outflows I think it’s technically a combined sewer system that has both street water and sewage so when it rains, the system gets overloaded. Fixing the sewer system i

Pyright doesn't support narrowing based on object truthiness and some other python isms. In my experience, mypy tends to be more correct and correctly understands more python code. For example, the following won't type check in py

I’m not well versed in the tech but is Spanner the sort of dynamic sharding approach your talking about?

Ditto, that’s what Feedly does as well Additionally, the social features the OP mentions are helpful in determining which RSS feed is the right one since some sites have multiple.

I've used things like django-allauth before and it's honestly not that hard to implement OAuth flows yourself and then you don't have to learn the ins and outs of someone else's API (i.e., allauth's numerous config

Typing in python is pretty thorough nowadays, you’ve got overloads, literal types, strict null checking, unions It’s a more advanced type system than Go and Java

Wonder how it handles things like dot files? Also does it automatically install dependencies? Feel like running npm install each time (or the equivalent) would be slow.

I think the big difference between react-query and its competitors like SWR is typescript support. React-query has proper sum types for its hook’s return value

I’m pretty sure adyen requires a decent amount of volume before they will allow you to use them, like in the 10s of millions. Stripe provides self serve with is nice for getting started and I’m guessing once you’re big enough to jump to ady
