The IRS scam has been particularly interesting. A wave of them came through our area code, so I convinced a friend to let me talk to the scammers when it came to his phone. They had ${friend}'s name and address associated with the numb

Im confused - did they not EXPLAIN their query? That's the first step in ANY slow query debugging! I kept waiting to see EXPLAIN output so I could say "oh, there's your table scan" and nothing ever showed up.

I'm always surprised at how often developers freeze a set of versions and leave them for a lifetime. In my past three companies I have been the only one interested in pushing dependencies on a regular basis. I always start with a massi

This a thousand times over. Academic code will take every shortcut and simplification possible. Hardcoded values, globals, no modularity, no error checking, shared-everything architecture assumptions, single-letter variables with mixed nami

I would 100% rather edit JSON (in vanilla vim) than ever touch YAML again in any editor I've used. It has weird rules for what whitespace is significant and what indent level I need for things, versus JSON where % will match quotes and

I can speak to the RoR dread side, as someone who is now in Django-land coming from RoR. RoR is ridiculously opinionated. If you don't know The Ruby Way then you'll be fighting the framework for every inch of productivity. It also

It seems like a Wile E. Coyote attack on Autopilot - draw a line that turns into a wall, and the car will follow it blindly. I don't see how this is significantly different from human driver actions. You could put cones up and a human

It's fairly impressive. Keeping a single server online for 111 days straight at full CPU and RAM usage over 96 cores and 1.4TB of RAM is a good start. The fact that such a machine exists is already mind-blowing. Then add 25 more nodes

It's documented somewhere, but I can't find it with a few minutes of searching. It's wildly racist and classist, but almost certainly true if you ignore "per capita" or other qualifiers. Higher numbers of people in

I can't speak to murders or other violent crime, but it was called the Loot Rail because of the prevalence of shoplifting after the line was opened into the suburbs.

AWS Lambda@Edge should do most of the same thing, so it's not entirely locked-in.

Shameless plug for Blendle, they provide access to a bunch of news sites with a pay-per-article system. It's a handy way to get around many paywalls without subscribing to many sites individually.

This is what OpenID was supposed to solve - you can have one password, on a site you own, that is your master key. The problem is that every implementation is 99% the same and 1% WTF, so the concept never caught on. So now we have FB and TW

That would be great to get as a measurement and filter by. It still won't solve the problem you want it to. This is a product with 1 measurement, maybe 1.5 if you count length. Due to flare, waist position, ratio to waist, etc. the len

I worked on this problem a few gigs back at Polyvore! tl;dr: It's nearly impossible to solve. As you may already know, "Standard Sizing" is a misnomer. There is no single standard for a size. US vs EU vs JP vs other are all t

Unless things have changed, this is exactly how 23AndMe works. You get a kit and send it in, then you just have an ID number that ties that kit back to you for setting up your account.

This statement is very accurate. The article has an example of the opposite, but equally important oddness of liability. If you don't mark down "XYZ thing is normal" then someone will come back to complain that you didn'
