And if I were a customer, I'd be concerned if they didn't cut off access immediately.

I think each of those is nearly as easy to update, except the source of truth. Probably shouldn't ever go on vacation if redis is your source of truth!

Moving to a new instance of ought to be trivial -- send writes to both for a while, once the latest ttl is hit move reads. This does assume you're doing something same like setting short ttls (no more than a day, maybe a week).

The norm being making designs that allow people to more easily perv on women? I'm hoping that's not your point but I am not very imaginative today.

What is the norm here? Glass stairs are unusual.

I don't think charging per query would work for most folks, for the same reason micropayments to bloggers or what have you won't work: it discourages use. If you know that every time you hit enter on a search query will cost you s

And given how bad Android is with its plurality or majority market share, how much worse would it be without iPhone competition? I wonder how few years Android devices would be supported if iPhones didn't set the bar so high.

I've done first party certification and it was always a joke -- they need you to pass so you can get your employer to use their services. Are there trusted third party certification services that are willing to fail half or more of the

It's easy, they know someone that knows someone that made a few hundred grand in crypto a while back, and they want a piece. The thinking doesn't go much beyond this.

I use it every few days to create game videos to share with friends. I like that it's super easy to extract and combine segments from multiple videos and easy to add a second audio track (like from a microphone). It's never crashe

Yeah, although I'd be surprised if this isn't what Shotcut does (it uses ffmpeg).

This is why I try to hold developers accountable for actions their software performs or allows, like auto-banning accounts or not supporting billing limits.

If that's the case surely they could have told him that was the reason. Otherwise we're talking about software engineers deliberately writing code to waste other people's time and make the Dropbox product look worse to their

And as a bonus they come with GPS, compasses, accelerometers, and of course network connectivity, out of the box (if you can figure out how to access them, anyway).

I've seen 412 "precondition failed" returned when there is that sort of conflict. For example, Google Cloud Storage returns 412 if you try to replace exactly one resource (defined as data + generation or etag) with new data:

Plenty of people haven't done any of those things in years. I don't think my grandmother had any reason to show id during her last few decades of life, and why should a possibly expired id be cause to prevent her from voting?

The thing those conservatives don't seem to get is you can't know if you have equality of opportunity without monitoring and responding to equality of outcomes. For example, say you implement a literacy test for voting. Everyone h

Not everyone has ID that meets the requirements laid out by voter ID proposals, and sometimes getting those IDs can be extremely expensive. Defenders like to say that the ID is free but when you point out the cost of getting birth certifica

Testimony from law enforcement should be dismissed out of hand (including in court) without hard evidence backing it up. The second hand testimony could just mean the police are acting like children, we don't know.

Engineers can and do go to prison for mistakes, so at least there is precedent for paying reasonable-if-high salaries. I would expect folks interested in public service and justice would be intrinsically motivated to do a good job, too.

When it happens to me I usually joke "I mean, not-(grunt)" when I'm around my wife. Not so much with others, they might not get it.

They absolutely can be. There are many stories of judges getting kickbacks for sending people off to prison and there's the FISA court rubberstamping (nearly) all requests from law enforcement.

While I agree that detectives and judges should absolutely face charges that could lead to imprisonment (not just fines and not just termination!) if their incompetence or malice results in someone being wrongfully jailed, I worry that it

Over time I've gotten better at letting others fail. I failed a lot during my career, especially when I was young, and it seems to have worked out for me.
