In a broader scope, if I may: If we suppose there are people that are undervalued by the dominant market process, where's the arbitrage -- teams seeking that talent out and applying it for gain (and competing with one another to correc

It's meant to instruct hypothetical government employees working for agencies that were silenced, and wish to continue their public outreach, educating the public on issues that the current administration might disagree with. It has an

Yep. Non-quorum members can even simply terminate existing connections and refuse new connections from clients, so clients are always either connected to a quorum node or not connected at all (CP, no A)

Honestly, they don't even look that great. Lots of sites could be using lots of modern browser features to be fairly innovative from a visual design and user experience standpoint, but it's mostly just really inefficient (and inac

In non-tech centric large orgs, it seems you frequently do not have the talent required to be be both risk averse and productive at the same time, so "IT" becomes a risk averse and non-productive political structure from which spr

The point? How do you draw a line from "Fortune 500s use Mongo" to "Mongo is used by competent teams"? I specifically challenge that you can do so, given a model of a large organization as being necessarily more diverse

I don't think it should be taken as given that there's a correlation between competency and the size of an organization that a team exists within, and I don't think such a correlation, when combined with large organizations&#

It's mostly cacheable, so they should theoretically be able to scale down the cluster with a caching reverse proxy or CDN.

TBD as described here also allows for feature branches (but they must be short lived and owned/worked on by a single developer -- which seems reasonable to me). I think people are seeing TBD as "no-branches ever" and that is

I always felt this way about the "Autonomy" "Mastery" "Purpose" thing... Like, Autonomy and Mastery, when applied to Purpose lead to Achievement, and that's the real deal. Do stuff that matters, stop doing

Interesting to imagine this difference as a species which has evolved distinct specialized circulatory systems for cooling and for oxygenating tissues.

Avatar was a poorly composed 3d experience in my opinion. The combination of depth-of-field effects with stereoscopic vision was really off-putting, I can see shapes nearer to me than the focal point, and can look at them, but can't fo

It's a steal for mediocre organizations where traditional development of even a simple proxy to some other AWS service would be a couple months' planning and launch late with show-stopping bugs, eating a couple man-months total be

This and the many similar comments are pretty confusing to me; with the common-sense context of how massively impossible it would be to have actual individual row-level facts on the entire population (with any choice for column[s]) "vi

I often run into people simultaneously rejecting that we have our own culture and forbidding that we dare adopt any other culture. It's all been appropriated, and of course one can't be doing that. I'm glad I have no need to

All three of these categories are served by a product team that makes economical constraints explicit. Too often business comes into the conversation with e.g. "We need a disaster recovery system" and no figures on desired RPO or

Yes, it was pretty nice, they covered it even though it was likely my fault and I didn't have coverage for that, only took them an hour or so on a busy day, but they had to order in the part which took a few days, if I recall. A side e

I'd really like to see an organization when evaluating tools or practices, do an actual risk assessment even just once. Even a hand-wavy conversation where we make 0th-order number-of-zeros estimates on any of the quantities involved i

There's also a disconnect with using a PL's concept of a function (procedure, calling convention) instead of the simple intellectual concept (composition) whether or not you're concerned with the mathematical concept (purity)

Yeah, sure if you just want to send and receive text synchronously from a public channel, each feature past that point and you have to break open your computing history book and learn some arcane incantations.
