Maybe the people making grocery store clerks feel afraid at work shouldn’t be free to walk around causing trauma.

Have you ever been on NextDoor? A bunch of people are terrified of completely normal interactions because people look & sound different.

You’re right.

I work far more from home on average. When I worked from the office I had so many interruptions. We’d also take Wednesday and Friday afternoons to play table-top games. There was table tennis and foosball. Sometimes we’d all go out for lunch and it’d take 60-90 minutes. Now I just eat lunch at my computer, I don’t table top game or socialize. I just code and zoom all day.

The abuse is real, but since I’m not commuting it’s a great trade off of an hour wasted each way.

You can track it separately, but if you use a database like DynamoDB using a ULID as the SK leads to optimized access patterns. If you use a UUID as your SK, then sort order of two items created at the same second is not guaranteed.

Funnily enough the paper you are citing has that quote but they cite another paper. The paper they cite says “It has been suggested that perhaps as little as 8% of dental care is justified…” and cites two more papers.

How is this acceptable in academic research? Nobody is citing the primary source and everybody is citing interpretations of some source that I can’t find the text of (probably because I’m on mobile).

tl;dr your citation is worthless through no fault of your own.

As far as I can tell it's gotten worse from a user perspective.

Been using DynamoDB for years and haven’t had to do any of the hacks you talk about doing. Not using ruby though. TCP keep-alive does help with perf though (which I think you might be suggesting.)

I don’t have p99 times in front of me right this second but it’s definitely lower than 20ms for reads and likely lower for writes. (EC2 in VPC).

I don’t see this and I work on large enterprise websocket server with almost a million daily active users. In fact, I think we had 100% up time for the last 12 months except for a few AWS outages. Codebase is 10 years old and was CoffeeScript -> ES6 -> TypeScript.

Link doesn’t work for me. “Too many redirects.” Both mobile Firefox and mobile Safari.

Coroutines for Go 3 years ago

The go team has explicitly said this is the past: “You just don’t understand because you’re not at Google’s scale.”

Finding one once every few months sound about right but usually the bugs impacting Firefox users are major PITA. Some I’ve had over the past few years:

* myADP had some kind of bug preventing firefox authentication that lasted months.

* Elan financial redid their credit card site for fidelity visa and had a CSS bug that hid the card total balance. This lasted for about a month.

* bitbucket (work required) had this bug that prevented pages rendering in firefox. It was some kind of JS client side bug and it impacted a bunch of people in my company. After months of support request they gave us some console commands that opted into an experimental feature which resolved the issue. This one was especially frustrating as they kept telling us to just clear our cookies and delete our profiles.

* Some random IRS system I had to use for either requesting a tax transcript or validating my identity just didn’t work.

It’s actually been so frustrating my coworkers joke anytime there is a bug I’m experiencing that it must be another Firefox only bug.
