Human factors is an important field of study, yes. But just because we know humans make mistakes doesn't mean we can't hold them accountable for those mistakes when they happen. Our tendency to focus on one thing to the exclusion

I need to do something and this is something is not usually a good justification for anything. It takes literally years of experience to properly diagnose someone, so yes, I do think it is potentially less valid than an official diagnosis

There are some subtleties here that are important to know[0]. Which is why I generally advise people to use the framework provided code for this. 0: Such as use a secure hash like sha256 or blake2 instead of md5.

I generally don't find that sort of thing offensive when combined with useful alternative approaches like your post provided. However the phrase does come with a connotation that you are surprised by a lack of knowledge or skill in oth

Most web frameworks come with out of the box authentication plugins that will use your own database. It's plenty good enough and you still don't have to roll your own. Adding an external service adds complexity that you may not wa

Because their business is auth as a service and because their database is not your database and they don't want you hitting their database directly. A similar question to the articles is whether you actually need Auth0 or not. You migh

I didn't say it wasn't understandable. I just don't think it's a good idea or something to encourage. If it actually makes things worse, even if it sounds like a good idea, it's not something that should be encourag

For official diagnoses I think labels can be a useful way to begin conversations about improvement. However what looks like a growing trend is self-diagnoses. In those cases what seems to be happening more often is the label becomes an excu

He didn't say he didn't have any data background. He's clearly worked with data on several occasions as needed.

"blows my mind" is similar in tone yes. But I wasn't replying to the OP. Further the OP actually goes into some detail about how he would approach the problem. You do not. You are assuming you know what the OP meant by tricky

What about his answer prevents any of that? As stated the question didn't require any of what you outline here. ZFS will probably do a better job of protecting your data than almost any other filesystem out there so it's not a bad

Religious Faith and Belief are choices. They have to be because they are fundamentally about unprovable things. So in one sense they are absolutely practical. However if you don't want to choose a religion then it may not be practica

This is a deliberate mischaracterization of democracy. If the system meets these criteria then it by definition isn't democracy. Allowing people to claim that it is democracy just let's them hide behind the idea without having to

You don't need to cover every use case. You just need to document what stuff does and how it affects to various workloads. A good engineer can from that information infer what they need for their workload. But not documenting that a co

Oracle has a long history of not documenting all of this stuff and instead suggesting you should hire one of their army of consultants to help tune the OS or Database for you.

They come armed with statistical data. You come with a statement of fact that you don't support with any data. While I might be predisposed to believe you, you do not in fact offer any support for doing so.

Bing on windows does the exact same thing. M$ and Google have roughly equivalent resources and audience reach to push their product. Google still comes out on top because via both reputation and average use case it's quality is better

Yep, create a small closed off community that shames outsiders and you can have what you want. Everything in it will be local and very much a bubble. It won't have the failure modes of a Google or Facebook though. So I guess pick your

I believe the replacements were already Google employees. Just not python-team employees. So it's sort of offshoring but not exactly. This really doesn't make any sense to me. When I was there python was a pretty big part of the g

As a Xoogler from 2007-2013 it saddens me to hear how it's changed since I was there. At the time it was definitely one of the best places to work in tech for me at least.

display:table was never really evangelized for tabular layout. They were pretty much ignored and the literature and documentation missed the point. Tabular layout is really just another word for grid layouts. Grid layouts took forever to
