Hit Command+R to refresh Slack and it'll release any memory it was accidentally holding onto. It's basically a page refresh.

The article explains it, but it's not 100% clear why the extra step was needed.. "Google co-founder Larry Page announced Alphabet two years ago to foster new businesses that operate independently from Google. Technically, however,

I did the same thing. The interesting part of Pokemon Go was the geographical aspect of the game (which was really pioneered with Ingress, but became much more popular with the addition of the Pokemon IP). The AR was very gimmicky, and I ho

This looks like it could be a great productivity tool, but I'm not exactly sure how it works based on the screenshot. * Does it just remember which files/apps were open for a given name, and when I click that name in the list it o

I agree. The title should be changed to "Uber to Levandowski".

Facebook has definitely not left it as the "same old Instagram". They've changed the home feed algorithm to basically the same as the Facebook home feed algorithm, and there's been a lot of content creators negatively im

I dont understand why they wouldn't do "receipts@37signals.com" and have it be an email address that only accepts internal mail.

Their invite-only model for the first X months was also an early nail in the coffin. It's hard to enjoy a social network when none of your friends are able to join you.

Yeah, these are basically Deprecation Warnings, which have been a standard part of good release management for a long time, across many projects in many industries.

Isn't the attack surface limited to the methods used in the application though? Even if libsodium has a vulnerability in some ABC method, unless the application in question uses that code path, it's not an immediate risk (Obviousl

This is super pedantic, but it can be confusing to call Comcast a "private company", which implies they are privately owned (which they are not, they are NASDAQ:CMCSA). The proper term is a "private sector" company. Mino

You're conflating a single anecdotal example with the overall issue. Of course this vote doesn't mean that all websites that are free, open, or focused on knowledge will go away. What it _does_ mean that your ISP can now sell the

This isn't that big an issue if you set your JS build pipeline up properly with modern tools. Webpack can chunk your built files and will only rebuild the ones it needs to upon change. Combine that with hot module reloading and things

The thing to note is that just because a large number of sites are still using it, doesn't mean that it is relevant. There are probably tens of thousands of stale sites that don't get regular updates using jQuery, since it's

I think the big benefit is that it avoids attacks that infect the server, because in this case, the server is "destroyed" when the request finishes. So a request that would maliciously upload "hackertools.php" would be u

I don't think "only ruin remains" is a fair statement to say about Apple, when the causes you're lamenting are the saving grace that got them to be a $300B+ company from effectively the brink of death.

Yeah. I suspect that those currencies are so minuscule in volume compared to USD (and other currencies) that Stripe wouldn't even pay back the engineering cost of implementing those new currencies (at least, not in the next year or two

I solved this by keeping my Webpack build process in it's own repository, with a JSON file that dictates entry and exit points for builds. When doing a new frontend project, I use git submodules to import my build pipeline and just cha

"You don't know what you don't know". We have no idea how they selected, curated, pruned, or otherwise "cleaned" their data set to meet their needs. What we can say, definitively, is they DO have a bias to enco

Uhh, if I bought a bottle of Aloe and was smearing it all over myself, and then I was told "That's not actually aloe", I'd want to know what I was applying to my skin before I applied any more. Sure, it works, but maybe

The majority of the bad things that the "Remainers" are worried about haven't taken effect yet. The vote happened but things are largely unchanged. I don't think you can use the last several months as proof that the worr

Not necessarily. Django and Flask are both web frameworks, but I would still describe Flask as minimal because it has fewer built-in features, is a smaller package, and excels at doing a few things really well, rather than everything "

Did you also adjust for inflation in there? If not, there's an additional ~10% that can be adjusted for. $44.6B in 2008 would be $49.84B in 2016 USD, an even wider gap.

I think that my issue with the chart (and it's such a minor issue to quibble about) is that you're effectively treating your single dataset (actual traffic over time) the same way you're treating your annotations (expected an

Since you created the graph, could you provide more context as to the units of measurement and scale for the axes? Are you using the derivative of growth as biot mentioned below, or something else? This graph shows two lines that stay stati

That chart is not at all accurate. If it were, it would be telling us that over time, they expected no change in data volume? They set a single number as "Expected volume", and a single number as "worst case", with no pl

I understand what microservices are, but I can't understand what 1700 pieces of unique functionality of Uber could be abstracted into their own services. I am struggling to even think of 100, so I was curious what exactly some of these

by mtrpcic 10y ago
Could you give some information as to what the breakdown of functionality is for those services? I can't fathom 1700 different and unique pieces of functionality that would need to be their own services.

The OP you replied to said this, and we're all aware. To solve the problem for good, systemic change is needed, but that doesn't mean we should let children freeze on the streets today while we wait for change tomorrow. You can do

Yes, I would have had the same reaction. This is a great way to put a false limit on your potential talent pool. I'm not saying that adding programs or policies to add outreach to specific communities that are under-represented in your
