On the mac, the video and audio randomly do not work. In a team of 20, this means every day someone has to stop the app, restart it and rejoin the call. Doing stand-ups every day, this is a PIA. 2,000 'user-voice' votes, broken fo

At Spriggy we had senior developers enrolled into Intercom chat. This takes agile to a whole another level. I knew with certainty what we had to get done. It was not a jira ticket close but 100s of customers to help. Stressful, yes, but get

Behind this is one of the problems. In a corporate environment you can't choose the best tool for the job at hand, collaboration. MS Teams is probably the worst tool of its class in this area yet it is, evidently, chosen by people in h

This is not true. In most cases you will get warnings but if you are hands-on you can fly into an unrecoverable situation, specially if you are not very high.

It can combust when it comes in contact with many substances but much less so than lithium. It is a lot more toxic than the lithium salts in batteries.

Saltstack. It is super easy to write your own python modules and everything else, such as a transport, module distribution, delivery from git and management, is already there for you.

In the "Other thoughts/notes" he acknowledges all of the tested software was old. (And it being I/O bound). The whole thing is more of "this is kind of interesting, you should do this test", than hard facts. I

It is interesting in that this is here on the front page and an old article about Discord moving to Cassandra is also here considering Discord went from Cassandra to Scylla I beleive.

The rather exotic packing reminds me of the IBM ES/9000 series processors. If you like an exotic package check that one one on youtube.

Like for 'Teams'. But that is probably more of a result of not having a team of developers with a clue and management outnumbering developers five to one. You know it's true when they prioritise Salesforce integration of cut

In real life, a few years ago, people at work fired up a 20 host cluster on AWS to do something that I later replaced with a script and GNU parallel (at the time a perl script), running on my 2013 Macbook pro i7, beating it by 10X. Sure, I&

I honestly think this is still true. Good people getting stuff done is still hidden, now behind some wagile (waterfall agile) in larger companies where the incompetent have been promoted to one step above their ability (the 'Peter Prin

Yes they are. But, consider the common query, for records based on an time index on the last day. This index will point to a bunch of primary keys and those, being random, will be spread across a much wider range of blocks. If the primary k

Also, if you want to include #include <microhttpd.h> you can write a useful, safe (well tested), http server in a similar number of lines.

I should have put a smiley after the bit about inverting a binary tree. :) It is a common joke. The rest is true though.

It may be only a very small part but not knowing how to invert a binary tree may well knock you out of the process. The process is designed to cull as many people as possible as early in the process as possible. It is accepted they might mi

Same for me, same. I spent years writing trading engines in C and C++ and have been rejected real quick because I don't use some modern template feature. A lot of stuff like the newer memory model and auto pointers are awesome but some

Good talk, aside from the anecdotes, which I don't believe. The design is exactly the same as we had in the late 90s. Still live in many of the major equity exchanges throughout the world.

"48,477 votes Reply to specific message in chat on desktop app" Now that is a quotable quote when it comes to being told something has a bad UI and choosing to do nothing about it.

Teams is the reference for bad UI. Paste a code block. Select a word in the code block. Copy and you get the whole block copied not the selected word. I could write a page of the issues like this. Maybe it would not be so bad if you only us

Always use UTC is not overrated. It is true, it may be overrated if you don't store time with your date or don't have a datetime type in your database (that makes me think WTF). You are always better using UTC to store dates if y
