Short links are useful for when you want a URL that you can share but change where it goes in the future. Short link services will also let you redirect to different destinations based on rules. So you could split traffic 50/50, you co

The funny thing about some apps is they enable different strategies based on the hardware available. It's why a Chrome tab will use 1GB of RAM on a beefy machine but also run fine on a a machine with 1GB total RAM.

HTML is simple. Add CSS and dynamic DOM manipulation and it's whole different situation.

I played around a lot and never got it to improve. I think it's just limited compute resources on the Pi and the fact that web browsers and websites have become massive. It takes a lot to a render a webpage these days. It might have be

The beauty of JAMStack in my opinion is that everything is pre-rendered at build time, so your site is 100% static and can be served out of a CDN. Pair that with third party APIs or a serverless backend like Firebase and you basically have

I've had great success in Java of using the built in serializing functionality to generate binary blobs and write those to .bin files. Nothing wrong with having a multi-GB HashMap or something that you have to load into RAM in startup.

If every action in a cloud service had to be instantly billable, it would just about double the complexity and cost of every operation. For example, fetching a blob from S3 would also need to insert the read activity into some realtime bill

I tried. I just wanted a machine on my workbench to run a web browser. I got the best Raspberry Pi, a case, and plugged it into an old 24" monitor. Cost me about $80-100. It worked fine. It could even play a 1080p YouTube video. Howeve

This is the answer. Blocked emails happen for random reasons and fixing them is a black art that involves talking to ISPs and stuff. It's really too much for an average person to handle. At work we've had issues with email deliver

I'm not sure it's a problem. I've mostly lost my interest in technology quite a bit too. I now merely see tech as a tool and not an exciting obsession. I'm excited about other things now. Exercise. Camping. Travel. Garde

The first thing to do is let your brain do what it needs to do. You can't rest if your brain is going to start processing things the instant you slow down. I would suggest trying out things like meditation, journaling, or walks without

That's the whole point. Every feature they build absolutely has to take failure into account so they do. Whereas if you only failed in emergencies, you would find stuff that didn't handle the failure well.

That's the dirty pragmatic side of engineering. Technically it is fixed.

This reminds me of the time I "temporarily" fixed a memory leak in our servers by writing a cron job that rebooted them every 20 minutes. And then I forgot about it.

I don't know if this makes any sense but have you thought about a way to migrate from Slack to a forum?
767.
by leros 5y ago
I agree. I really dislike Slack and Discord compared to forums. Being able to keep a topic in a confined thread and then bump it to the top when there is activity is so useful. Slack does have threads but you never know about updates unless

I forget the name, but I interviewed at a medical technology company a while back. They said they failed over a data center every single day and left it offline for a while. They needed to make sure their redundancy was super reliable so th

The line is blurry sometimes. Also there is likely lots of code that would break without a tracking cookie passed to it because tons of code is written with the assumption the cookie would be there.

The company I work at would break if cookies weren't allowed. It would be a mad scramble to change many many things to just function at all. 3 months seems pretty fast to me to be honest.

I'm somewhat of a generalist inside of a big company. The job I do doesn't exist, there isn't an HR code for it, and we don't hire for it. You have to just get your feet in the door, network, and basically find a manager

Yeah 5GB is tiny. You could keep your whole database in RAM for fast queries. I've worked on a system that generates a few hundred GB of data per day that goes into sharded MySQL databases. Personally, my side business database is a tr

I primarily work with InnoDB in MySQL and I've seen it occasionally make some terrible query plans where I've had to specify things to make it perform well.

I browsed through a few Apple data center jobs and it seems to indicate they use Linux as their OS. No idea about hardware.

Makes sense. You should backfill even when there are results. It would be a shame for the first review coming in to become the only listing.

As a college grad being hired as a CTO, I think it's important to note that you're really being hired as their first developer. Eventually you'll take on the role of technical lead, engineering manager, etc as they grow. But

Sounds like Firestore from Firebase would be a good solution for you. It's a database that you can use with just a few lines of JavaScript.
