I'm not sure exactly how it works but if you look at the network requests for "how many emojis ios" vs "how many emojis android" the html for the initial page contains an internal server error whereas the android ve

I feel like people are missing some context here, this isn’t about Google Workspace vs Office 365. After the JEDI contract controversy, the DoD switched strategies to procure from multiple cloud vendors: https://www.defense.gov&#

Interesting, I thought they were trying to switch over to FoundationDB but looks like their Cassandra usage keeps growing.

I use s5cmd, it’s a fast parallel s3 cli client: https://github.com/peak/s5cmd Haven’t heard of rclone before so can’t compare yet but s5cmd is supposed to work against GCS and other s3 compatible apis.

Is there a library for homomorphic encryption that application devs can use? Is it practical to use this technology yet? Edit: I found this library from Microsoft but it only supports addition and multiplication, not comparisons and sorting

I have a huge collection of print books. I prefer print books because with ebooks I can easily just forget about them like any other webpage, blog post or paper. But when I have a physical copy it’s in my face, I can leave it on my desk, it

As a heavy BQ user on my side projects, there isn’t really an alternative to BQ in AWS. I find that RedShift does not provide a lot of the functionality and ease of use that BQ provides. That said the closest thing is Amazon Athena. The arc

Is this using Anthos? If not aren’t the bandwidth costs high for this solution from AWS -> GCP?

This is great! The main questions I’m anticipating are “why cant we just improve the backend apis” and “why do we want the frontend team to own an Service?” I think your point of focusing on how the requirements of the BFF team differ from

Did you have problems caching between BFF and backend apis? We are trying to be able to have our FEEs write apis quickly while still having low operational load. Also curious how you convinced leadership about your BFF idea? How did you con

by faizshah 4y ago
Sure, basically we have a standard microservices architecture and sometimes the needs of the frontend team and backend teams aren't aligned. For example, searching UX or Pagination UX needs are classic examples where scalable apis use

I used netbeans in high school when I was learning Java. The WYSIWYG swing editor is really nostalgic for me and helped me a lot, I’m glad to see it’s still active. Netbeans was actually an extremely good editor at the time, it was as good

Prompt: “Program: for i in range(10): if(i % 2): print(f”{i}”) Output:” Output: “1 3 5 7 9” This is definitely worth a lot more investigation.

Also in the ~10 years Julia coders have been arguing Julia is inevitable, I haven’t seen a killer demo that shows something miles better than pandas, pyspark, PyTorch etc. In the same timespan if you look at Rust and Go they were able to ca

For that kind of person even IC1 is not a good fit instead I usually recommend they will do better as a QA Engineer, Support Engineer etc. in FAANG or software engineer at a non-tech company (gov contractor, healthcare etc.). At least at FA

At amazon the engineer track has leadership level roles: SDE I -> SDE II -> SDE III -> Principal Engineer (SDE IV) - you provide technical advisory and strategy across an organization -> Distinguished Engineer/Sr. Principal

Yea, this is where I like the amazon model of ownership. It’s something like: SDE I - can work on clearly defined components of a project assigned to them SDE II - can work on an ambiguous project with multiple components lead by a technica

Maybe I should clarify why. I am a full stack engineer and I am familiar with the basic AppSec stuff you need to launch a service at a FAANG company. However I am not familiar with the basic IT Security stuff you should setup when forming a

On demand pricing is also a key benefit of cloud. Instead of needing to make a big initial spend on hosting infra you can pay only for what you need. The other big benefit is auto scaling, in 2012 lots of companies would launch and be unabl

I have a bit of a naive question. If TLS has this much overhead how do HFT and other finance firms secure their connections? I know they use a number of techniques like kernel bypass to get the lowest latency possible, but maybe they have e

I think it’s almost the exact opposite, people respect Kapernick for his politics and activism and respect Lebron and MJ for their basketball. I have never heard of anyone respecting Michael Jordan for his politics.
