You mentioned database constraints and testing already, which are great automated methods. Besides these automated methods another way to monitor data integrity is for a human to manually analyze the data for inconsistencies. And to ask oth

> Apple typically gets 30% of in-app subscriptions for the first year and 15% of renewals. I think that 30% then 15% commission are both way too high. Apple should be able to charge a modest commission fee to be on their App Store but th

I meant “difficult” strategically, not morally, from the perspective of Zuckerberg. I agree with you that the answer to the moral question is obvious, but clearly Zuckerberg is not considering morality in his decision making. In fact, he is

I’m sorry I think you misinterpreted what I meant by “damned if you do...”. I meant that either the democrats or the republicans will damn them no matter what they do. I agree with your negative sentiments regarding the disturbing advertis

Facebook is in a difficult spot right now. They’re in a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation. Granted, Zuckerberg and his team in many ways got themselves into this situation, but at this point it’s hard to see how Facebook moves

A generalization like “people on HN are always...” coming from a 3yr old HN user with 20k+ karma points looks like a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Criticisms of large corporations is a healthy part of the HN community IMO. In fa

I find this story arch with Zoom amusing: 1. Pre-COVID Zoom claims it has E2E encryption for everyone. 2. During COVID Zoom grows in popularity, which prompts journalists to learn that the claims that Zoom has E2E encryption are inaccurate.

Checking what JavaScript projects on github received the most new stars in the last 24 hours every day doesn’t sound like fun to me. In fact I’ve never thought of GitHub as “fun”.

All the time and money that will go into this would be much better spent donating to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund or another organization fighting to solve the real problems.

I searched google and that brought up the FAQ, where it’s not explicitly stated. I expected it to be there so that prompted the question. Edit: I’m also kind of a noob here so didn’t know about that search tool. I’ll use that next time. Tha

I went straight to the code and didn’t read past the github link - but read through it now. That process described isn’t in the code.. One other thing I noticed is that this uses aiopg for the async db queries instead of asyncpg, which is m

Why do you use less than half the workers for the async libraries? uwsggi+flask - 16 workers unicorn+starlette - 5 workers The highest throughout examples in your benchmark all have 16 workers. I also don’t see any hardware data... Does you

The last time I got my eyes checked (pre-COVID) at LensCrafters they pitched this type of lens hard b/c I’m a software engineer. I decided to pass to save money and now I’m glad I did!

HTML/CSS/JS has been stretched so far beyond what it was originally designed for. JavaScript’s tooling will only get harder to work with as we push it to handle more. Eventually we’ll need to find something better than HTML/C

I would not. Facebook.com still operates with or without that system. Especially now with COVID-19, I’m sure it’s not being used at all. Mission critical - essential for operating Facebook.com

It’s certainly not used for any mission critical apps. Facebook’s stack is pretty well known. They’ve been using sharded MySQL for a while now. Instagram started on PostgreSQL but I believe has switched to Cassandra.

Python 2 had a great run but python 3 is more than ready for prime time. It was pretty bad for a while but since 3.6 it’s been awesome!

Why call python from Rust? I think calling rust from python would make more sense. Use it to optimize python functions like how python libraries do with with C (i.e. numpy)

Looking forward to trying out the keyboard. The fact that there is NOT a Touch Bar on this is a big plus. I’ve used a Mac book with a Touch Bar for work and it’s so awful.
