I've only read up to Part Two so far but find the guide is extremely helpful and resonates with other resources (i.e Grokking the System Design Interview) and with my own experiences for what I believe is the very broken interview proc

I haven't used Heroku's free product plan myself, but I personally use Fly for my personal blog and website and thoroughly enjoy its pain free deployment process. They also have built in secrets management which I was happy to see

It definitely won't happen in Toronto, seeing as John Tory was, and still is, in bed with Rogers. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/john-a-tory-a-...

Understood. I had question: This is what we can only perceive through internet/routing table entries right? Internal to FB, we don't know what had caused issues that led to the BGP UPDATE. That's kind of what has been confusi

I find it extremely ironic that the game touches upon themes of corporate greed and climbing the corporate ladder (I've only played it until I got a soft lock during the 3rd tutorial). How else do you get themes of technology being a b

This sounds great on paper! I'm curious - how does your data consider racial biases when it comes to mental health? Additionally, does your data take in consideration social determinants of health and health inequalities?

This is the exact same thing they said they wouldn't do, and now they're doing it. This is very unfortunate. I'm not liking how the future is looking here. Fired a bunch of people, then announce a partnership with Google, and

18 is great. This concept itself, is not new. I'd love to see US cities with notorious transit systems (i.e New York City) implement this. In Toronto, Canada, where I live, allow all children 12 years of age and under to ride the TTC (

out of curiosity, how were you approached to tackle this problem for the gov't? can you introduce me to someone? i'm working on this currently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9xFQFkvoLg&

I genuinely laughed at this - I thought the same thing! If you ever downloaded your own account data, I think OP and other concerned posters would understand how much data companies retain and this wouldn't come off as a surprise. Snap

Great questions! What's the underlying algo/impl used for this? According to the release notes it uses a DTopic data structure. While interesting, I'm not really sure if this is a unique/new structure by the author (bura

Here's another reason why YAML is bad: the fact that I have to read the spec to figure out what's going on. It should have been fairly simple to do this. Why do I have to know the difference between ":" and "="

You're partially kidding but you're 100% right. Someone in another thread mentioned using some LISP or LISP-like language to solve this problem. Would something like TOML make things better here? What would have been the solution?

I'm having some arguments with other developers (devs) on whether or not this is important. I'm gonna finally try to implement this for my own pipeline this week, hopefully. I would much rather have devs double check/validate

I occasionally do - and there are times where I do get a response back. I'm considering registering myself as a lobbyist so that I can have more of a face to face contact with councillors in my city, and actually push for more change.

Canadian here. Not sure how there is no government oversight for handling of sensitive data in the first place. I get that we have a "Privacy Commissioner of Canada". But this sort of thing should almost never happen. Also, how th

That's a pretty general statement, one that I would avoid without proof or evidence.

Even looking at comparative offerings from different providers, they're really lackluster [1], and in some cases, even more expensive [2]. What could be contributing to those large numbers? [1] - Memorystore only allows vertical scalin

+1 on the sync and async discussions. This is super important, not just at work but every day life. I find that sometimes I don't want to text someone when I'm having a passionate discussion, I'd rather video call or call the
