There might be some old red rattlers in sidings of rural stations, my dad made a deal to get one and the fittings from its sibling when the owner wanted to use the bogeys and trays for a tourist train. That was a fun few summers of unscrewi

We won an internal hackathon by writing the API and no front end, using a browser extension instead to manifest the client on the third-party page we couldn’t get API access to in time. It sure was easy to write.

That’s the algorithm, sure. The tiles aren’t marching squares though, and calling them after how they were generated is confusing! If they produced rectangular or other non-square tiles would you still insist on not calling them Wang tiles?

Calling Wang tiles “marching squares” will confuse the heck out of any graphics programmer.

Still struggling, if requests from X were slow, caching their responses would only drop or maintain p99. If those requests were fast, p99 might increase & alert... but if you were caring about performance at a user-level, you can imagin

Manipulating/aggregating metrics is a giant pain, you have to understand what exactly the implementors though `max` or whatever means and try to match it up to what you need. One thing the article doesn’t address is that logs have to b

But your p99 for endpoint B hasn’t changed, why would you alert based on service-wide stats? It’s easy to tag/dimension metrics by urls

If you don’t have a long-arm stapler for binding, you can take two normal swing-arm staplers and use the anvil from one to strike against with the other. Not as neat but can do in a pinch. Also I mush prefer PDFs that aren’t formatted for p

Tests don’t prove anything, they just show the intended behaviour. Only full verification proofs show correctness. Too often I’ve seen “tests show it’s correct” suites horribly fail to provide value when the behaviour changes in a unit of b

And if you do need a mock (for something with hard-to-undo side effects), you set it up with stub response & canned data in the test fixture, and never assert anything against it in the test. Part of the problem is that most test fake l

There's a clear conflict of interest: moderating comments critical of the organisation who employs you can easily be considered biased to a disinterested party. It doesn't matter if there is bias or not, the possibility that peopl

It worked for you but consider the vast population who are not as privileged to have easy access to health care. Do the ads help them? Will their lives be improved by more ads, or by removing barriers that make it harder to get medical assi

Yeah, see, here your GP would refer you to a psychiatric provider (probably a nurse) or you’d see it a pamphlet in the waiting room when you came to talk about how you feel because you saw your doctor more than once every 2 years because y

I think Yelp do a pretty good job of avoiding this, simply for the fact that they don’t have a cushion of associated traffic: people use Gmaps for this because they use Gsearch or navigation, and if Gmaps isn’t great at filtering out spammy
