Clearly something is working if you've got 50 engineers turning out bug-filled code and systems, and yet the business keeps on living.

So, this is essentially a script to mess up your AWS resource permissions by using a privileged account to an extent that a) might surprise folks who haven't thought too deeply on the matter, and b) will be challenging to uncover using

The ternary and unary increment/decrement operators are things I thought I’d miss, but in fact absolutely do not miss. May they forever perish. If-as-expression always!

Kotlin pattern matching and destructuring/unapply support are pretty weak, no?

Scala compiles well enough under Gradle--got it in a roughly dozen-module multi-language project right now, and it's no trouble. I suppose Gradle might (or might not?) come up short if you want automatic deprecation/replacement u

Perhaps only because it's incomplete? Like, is there no such expression in terminal nodes Hindi or in Javanese--or in the hundreds of other languages spoken today?

Just as we have laws that prevent US organizations from giving or taking bribes even in countries where bribes are legal (FCPA), and US laws prevent US individuals from overseas sex tourism which would be illegal on US soil, what prevents u

I'm reasonably certain you're describing a delusional or deeply ignorant person--not someone who actually follows meaningful Google-esque practices of any sort. "We use Guava and are looking into Go"-level overlap with

I don't tip my plumber, but he gets my business--and I pay the bill without negotiation--on account of doing a great job.

This evidence supports the form over function argument: one can only conclude Apple sassily put the charge port on the bottom to make it impossible even to think of using the mouse while a cord is attached.

Has Substack emerged as "new Medium" for ambitious but not-as-seasoned-as-they-would-appear tech diarists?

Kind of a lengthy ad hominem against WeWork, no?--and in an alternate reality where they did in fact have an IPO. I love Postgres but "just use Postgres for your small data" is IMHO a facile argument to an ambitious, naturally dis

It's long been said: if you want good software, get a bunch of accountants--and folks who want to take marching orders from accountants--to build it.

Contrary perspective: only avoid frameworks when you can be assured your project is (and will remain) so narrow that it has no need of validation libraries and the like.

Banks think the other way around - the account is important, the customer less so. Multiple entities, or no entities, might be authorized to access or control the account at various times.

So backend and frontend must have a wholly compatible type system? Even good old WSDL only got 90% of the way there. Keep going with fancier approaches and you end up looking at CORBA and its ilk.

Setting aside the Dropbox-proprietary services, I'd be most interested to see what features/categories you picked from the file metadata, how those were prepped or rotated for training, what training/prediction algorithms you

Are you kidding, LDAP referrals as a model of how to do it? I mean, I did a lot of LDAP work back in the day, and that's not a feature that saw a lot of action outside academia. Just write your own thing on top of HTTP, that's

Did you consider lowering those IOPS with application-level and/or distributed in-memory cache and/or pub-sub notifications to let your app nodes not pester the database so much? Reasonably performant hand-written SQL (no ORM!),

It's been that way for a long time - years at least. You can reboot but not 'stop' and of course not 'terminate.'

I got over my aversion to house centipedes by thinking of them as "the cat of the insect world." Of course there are limits to allowable bedroom proximity.

Good quick read; I think most of it does hold up. Art depicting clowns or cowboys, probably lower class; threadbare but once-good Persian carpets and shelves of books, probably higher class. The "top out of sight" class is an el

I'm more concerned about people who think and act as if there is no law that applies to them, compared to those who would evade the law.
