TL;DR.

You can figure out your own certs or manage the cert request/verification cycle via Let's Encrypt...or you can let someone else do it for you. I recently joined a company that offers HTTPS out of the box for any domain you own: https://blog.backplane.io/how-to-get-https-80e1b28b878c

I'm biased, but I do think it's a pretty painless way to enable HTTPS for sites both big and small. No uploading of certs, no modifications to your web app are necessary, it just works.

I wish I had more systems knowledge (ie: better command prompt skills) and I wish I had spent more time learning about networks and ssh. Some of those concepts are really not that complicated but just _seemed_ impenetrable at the time.

I had no idea this tool existed. Thanks! Very cool!

Aurora is it's own database type. The interface is MySQL-compatible, but it's not a perfect match.

I'll read it later.

Smaller instances are smaller in memory/compute power only. Storage is charged separately and the implementation details are unknown to me.

Those decisions are above my pay grade mate ;)

At Timehop we currently work with a single instance AWS Aurora (MySQL-ish) database with over 40TB of data (plus a read-only replica on a smaller instance). Some stats: 1.5MB/sec receive throughput, 10MB/sec transmit throughput, commit latency around 3-4ms (with very occasional spikes to 10-20ms), select & commit counts are about 300/s, and select latency hovers around 35ms (we do about a dozen unions per query though).

All in all it's the easiest relational database I've ever worked with in terms of stability, speed, and scalability. I know this sounds like an ad for Aurora, but I just really like it.

Any obvious reason why this is significantly different than the built-in http.FileServer?

https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#FileServer

The headline is tantalizing, but this is almost impossible to grok for a layperson like me.

What you say rings true.

However, the only thing we really know for sure, and for which there is a mountain of evidence, is that women as a group face significantly greater challenges in this industry than men do. That may filter for various traits in women such as greater levels of grit, but I'm going to wait until this particular survey is corroborated by further study before I buy into the idea that women and men in our industry are significantly differentiated by something like personal drive. I can believe it, but I wouldn't jump to that conclusion based on this evidence alone.

Great Medium article by the way.

In 2009-ish I wrote a Java-based templating system for Autosys' Job Information Language. If you don't know it, Autosys is a horrible, horrible, job management and scheduling system. You define these little files (.jil extension) that specify not only the job definition (command, user, cron-like schedule, etc.), but also its dependencies (which job must run before this one, what runs after...). Nothing wrong with that approach, per se, but there's essentially no way to validate the correctness of a job and its dependencies until it's running live in production. Often jobs would fail to run when you expected, or become quietly orphaned by some change to another upstream job.

So I wrote a disgusting (yet fluent!) enum-based monster called JILT (Job Information Language Template), that required that every existing .jil file be rewritten as a statically-typed java enum which could then be used to spit out the entire tree of validated .jil files. The nice thing was that your job dependencies were now enforced by the compiler and could be included in CI. But the actual inner workings were a hot mess. And of course, now the support teams have two systems to maintain and ensure they remain in sync.

This was at Goldman Sachs and I hear it's still under active development by the support teams...

What's funny is that they suggest adding a sleep in the script so that it can be detected as a delay in byte stream delivery, but if you really want to know if the script is being executed and by what, you could literally just have the first line of the script make an http request with whatever meta data you want.

You posit a very challenging idea. How does one create a "framework for trust" when experts can't effectively communicate their valid ideas because educating the masses is impractical or impossible?

Perhaps the goal is to re-establish trust in expertise. Something I believe has been eroded over many decades by talking heads and overly confident imposters.

How do you teach someone to recognize truth, even when they cannot verify it for themselves?

I think your perspective is a valid one. However, I don't think everyone realizes they are actually being spied on or to what extent. The media says one thing (not always the same thing) and government denies it. I believe to many people that's enough controversy to avoid thinking too much about it.

And to pre-empt any argument that I may be too faithless about people's natural proclivity to protect themselves, consider something as as epic and clear-cut as climate change. I can't think of a better example of something so threatening to society yet so popularly disregarded.

I believe that people who know more fear more. And those who don't know simply aren't able to identify the threat well enough to take action. For now, the threat is relatively abstract (some dark agency somewhere maybe has access to some amount of computery things and might stalk me or whatever). And by the time the threat evolves into men with guns in their living room, it won't be associated with the current info wars. Assuming, of course, that true history remains accessible...

There are some instructions in the docs for this: https://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/goimports

For sublime users, see here: http://michaelwhatcott.com/gosublime-goimports/

It's a great tool, very convenient.

It's worth mentioning that the author of this tool is Brad Fitzpatrick, one of the main contributors to the Go standard library and, in my opinion, the most "entrenched" Go developer on the team. And by that I mean he uses Go to build large and practical projects on his own (See Camlistore), so he knows what the language feels like from a perspective similar to the rest of us. He's also one of the only advocates on the team for the inclusion of generics.

I've been bitching and moaning about the new g-maps for so long! And this thread makes me feel...vindicated? I guess? Too bad I'm still stuck with it.

The funny thing is that it's possible the UI could have been screwed while keeping the search stable, but as the article points out, the search is killing me. It's Apple Maps-ish in a way. I mean, if I'm zoomed in to a particular level and I do a search, there's a good bet that I'm only interested in results within those bounds, right? I'm not crazy to want that am I?

Men can be friends with women too. Just sayin'.

From what I've heard this is really offered to employees deemed "under developed" which basically means they're shitty at their job. It's a clever way not to pay severance.

Nothing wrong with this at all.

+1 I've been coding professionally for 6 years and I am inspired by this.

To me this is not a story about programming or gender, it's a story about grit.

Something else that is interesting is that the big companies have already figured out that it's simply better business to support LGBT rights. I have absolutely no reason to believe that guys like Blankfein actually give two shits about the gays, but they will be the ones to push us forward. If only to make more money.

Case in point: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/goldman-sachs-ceo-lloyd-blankfei...

I think it's the fact that he is in a position of some power within our industry that makes his personal and political viewpoints relevant to the rest of us. What kind of message does it send to your employees when you support a view that is rejected by (what I'm guessing is) a vast majority of the people in your industry?

The fact is, we can pull our support from people who we think are shitty if we want to in order to push progress forward to the kind of society we want to live it, specifically one where all Americans are treated equally under the law.

If it were up to me, I would completely eradicate the idea of marriage as a government institution, it doesn't belong in their hands in the first place. But I'm very much in the minority on that one.

This whole thread amounts to: "I like a thing" vs "I don't like a thing". How can people really believe they have meaningful opinions about something so innocuous.

Seems like this approach might also work for building type-specific collection implementations as well!
