I keep forgetting the reasoning for this part of the design - why is the value semantics baked in the declaration site and not at the use site? Why does the class author have to declare it as a value type? I know this has been rehashed befo

Amazon may be big but even then resources are limited. Individual teams owning the roadmap for services are still small. And there are always competing priorities. Do you prioritize these security and availability improvements or do you pic

For me it is the little things. Like switching windows. Mac feels half a second slower then Linux and that delay make it feel less responsive. Opening up the terminal can iterm2 is another one. For me these things just adds up. I want my OS

Sure, it works for a narrow use-case like a pure function that just queries and returns data. What about stored procedures/triggers that mutate data on insert/delete etc? With one-box, you can assign a specific set of customers&#x

Not a security engineer so can’t comment on the threat model. But an insider threat like a rogue employee can do as much damage with a managed laptop vs an unmanaged one IMO.

I am loving the Netflix model. You can ask for a MacBook or a thinkpad. If you opt for the thinkpad, you can also install whatever Linux you want and all tools will still work. In fact you can bring your own laptop and without reimaging use

Onebox deployment typically deploys the new revision of the application code to a single host/box and leaves the rest of the fleet in the older revision and then you run your tests against the new revision running in that single box. Y

How would you do one-box deployments with code in the database? Everything else could be solved with perhaps some or a lot of pain.

I have no background in AI or neural networks. And I barely understand machine learning in general. My only chat bot experience is ordering pizza at a Dominos website, I must say even though it is stringing words together to form a coherent

I have been pretty happy with BofA. The mobile app is modern and wires and ACH can all be done online. I gripe though is that you cannot do either of those from the mobile app. You need to login to the website via a computer.

There are some edge cases because of which this had to be done, I think. For example calling static methods via the instance variables, the actual method called would be the static type of the variable at compile time and not the actual typ

Have you considered an HP Elitebook? I am using an Elitebook 850 G7 given by my company. I have been daily driving it for a year now with Ubuntu 20.04 (previously an 840 G3 I think) and have no complaints. I use it with triple monitor setup

I have long searched for a configuration (Linux laptop + docking station) that can drive a triple monitor setup. Ideally all three at 4K@60 Hz but I might settle for one of them being QHD (2560 x 1440). Why isn't there any confirmed op

For me, the Roku's killer features is its app that lets me instantly stream the audio to my phone/airpods so i do not disturb anyone else while still watching tv. All others require me to pair my headphones with the tv or some oth

What would you say are some examples where you look back what the state was 15 years ago vs the progress we made till the present and the jump would seem just as profound. Just curious. I felt the same way - it seemed like the early 20th ce

I have been using the HP Elitebooks provided by my company and works well with Ubuntu. No complaints. I even upgraded my RAM to 64 GB.

You are thinking of SQS, the preview version of which was the first to be introduced. S3 was the first non-preview service made generally available.

I built a system in my previous team where clients can register "filters" described in Fusion. My system, which was a source of a lot of different notifications, would then run these filters and only send those notifications that

Seriously? I bought in-car navigation for my car instead of opting for CarPlay/AndroidAuto for this exact reason. When I start a trip, my phone (always used Google Maps) can never figure out which way I am facing and will keep rotating

For me I usually forget the generic stuff. If I wrote something that was a bit different or if I put some extra effort or thought into it I find I can recall those implementation notes may be ever after a year.

My take on such “rules” is that these are not really rules but guidelines you can take hints from to make code easier to read and understand. I rarely try to force these rules to my code whether I am writing new code or changing existing co

This is personal experience of course but I have not seen that to be the case in my company, irrespective of editors people have mostly the same type of questions. Out of curiosity, what kind of questions do the non Vim/Emacs folks kee
