Do you have access to your production database? How do you write tests? With what data are you testing? How do you handle backwards compatibility? (For the code? For the data?) Do you do this upgrade during deployment? Can you do blue/

please don’t. source control/versioning/deployment become a nightmare

Mushrooms are fascinating. Can't blame this guy for digging them. Did you know that mushrooms (fungi to be precise) are not a plant and are not an animal? They are so special that they have their own biological kingdom. ( https:/&

lol. do you know how bitcoin work? bitcoin can definitely “defend itself”. look at what happens/happened in Venezuela. Once you no longer need to convert it to fiat it’s as bulletproof as it comes

yes, through the centuries. where was bitcoin during the French Revolution? Nobody killed anybody for bitcoin during the French Revolution!

what do you think money is? some bytes in a centralized database. asset of dubious value? unless you can literally eat it, wear it of use it, all assets are of dubious value. It’s an asset of dubious value that you don’t like. Big differenc

30% dips in relation to what? 1bitcoin in 2018 == 1 bitcoin in 2020. also, there is nobody forcing banks to hold crypto as an asset. nobody.

everything is externalized. you don’t live in a bubble. You are part of a ecosystem with your I/O connected to that system.

yup. also we’ll end covid, catch all the people involved in human trafficking, give everyone free clean water, free organic food, free internet and a free tesla. climate change? gone. everyone’s IQ is gonna increase by 120 points. We’re gon

this is a bunch of bs if you ask me. in today’s world everyone is an expert in everything. you can’t have X! Why? It’s for your own protection!!!1 what about Y? this looks bad and should also maybe be banned? no, no, no. you don’t understan

you’re thinking of “normal money” failing as a on/off switch. Things are going degrade over time and there needs to be mass adoption if crypto is going to replace fiat currency. so in reality I think a transition to crypto is possible&

the reality is that compensation is sh*t, even at L6 level where you are expected to walk on water. a lot (most?) people I know that worked at Amazon used that as a resume builder that allowed them to open doors and land jobs that would be

we are making a big assumption here: that neurons have tasks and are responsible for X. What if a neuron (actually a cortical column) could learn thousands of X and fire only when specific environmental conditions are met? What if you const

not a [neuro]scientist, but is there such a thing as “the smell of an apple”? one would think that sensory input != actual representation and also that representation is context specific. On top of that layer the fact that the brain constan

by rantwasp 5y ago
true, but redundancy is hard to build on critical or under-documented parts of the code. It’s also hard to build when the knowledge needed is not something you can just sit down and do a brain-dump in an afternoon (ie you need a lot of cont

getting a sabbatical is different from a raise/promotion. one signals that you have other things going on/you don’t care anymore, the other seeks to assert that you are contributing a lot and should be rewarded for this

I guess it’s a good way of thinking. But it’s too idealistic. You see: if you do this it’s true that you might be able to make everyone’s life easier and you may advance your career, but (you knew there was a but) you also lose most of the

to be fair to Terraform, this is hard. It's hard when you are dealing with multiple cloud providers since you have to keep state somewhere. Network failures or underlying cloud failures are gonna impair TF in the head every time. If th

lol. Terraform cannot do basic things like rollback the deployment in case of failure. Also, I have yet to see CF losing track of its resources. Here is a challenge for you: Deploy a moderate to complex infra with Terraform and after that t

by rantwasp 5y ago
your company sounds like they know what they are doing. Cloudformation will take your infrastructure from point A to point B or roll it back in case of failure. Terraform, not so much.

i have literally never been asked for a password by apple when I had issues. I unlocked my phone myself when they needed to look at something and they looked at it only while I was present. If they needed to take the phone “in the back” I m

i got to witness a murder of crow harassing 2 bald eagles until the eagles just gave up and left. we’re not even talking a lot. There were maybe 6-7 crows. The theory I heard is the bald eagle(s) could easily take them on but they risk inju
