I get that a lot of people see Slack as a panacea for all communications, but too often it ends up a dumping ground for anything and everything for which searches might not be as effective over time. Also, that data in Slack can and will be a liability risk to you when it comes to data privacy, compliance, and any litigation hold requests. Do understand that larger organizations (especially FAANG) will purge slack conversation data after a certain period of time for these reasons.

Finally, I feel DHH's article on group chat still provides valid criticisms and recommendations to retain your sanity and prevent the feeling of FOMO: https://signalvnoise.com/svn3/is-group-chat-making-you-sweat...

https://terminal.sexy is a decent site I use for exploring and generating downloadable terminal color configs.

Also, it's worth noting that American cities demolished good infrastructure (for bikes, pedestrians, and transit) to make way for the veiled promises Big Auto and Big Oil. The transition to car dependence in America was a willful and deliberate act, albeit heavily influenced by lobbying and propaganda by auto and oil industries.

Disclaimer: I worked for a payment processor that handled a large portion of adult site traffic.

Payment processors categorize porn sites as a high-risk businesses because of the higher likelihood of chargebacks from customers who spot such a transaction on their statement. The processing, upfront, and recurring fees are higher than normal merchants to factor in this risk, and one or more card networks have explicit rules on which content is acceptable for purchase (guided mostly by laws against bestiality and the scenarios in which urine and feces are presented).

I don't know if you've actually been to their blog recently, but Percona's community includes NoSQL as they maintain their own distro of MongoDB--similar in spirit to their MySQL and PostgreSQL offerings.

Please note the difference between complimentary and complementary. It's a common homophone confusion in English.

The former means free or charge or expressing praise or a compliment.

The latter means disparate things go well together and enhance each others' qualities.

If you're into visual/interactive learning, please give Harvard's CS50 a try.

I think it's worthwhile to look more into GCP's multi-region bucket implementation and how nice it is. It pretty much removes the need to explicitly set up cross-region replication of objects and offers a single endpoint from which to serve objects in the nearest/most available region.

That phrased stopped being their mission statement in the spring of 2018.

Tom Scott did a nice video [1] on IEX's setup with 38 miles of fiber to add enough latency as a mechanism of fairness. Purportedly, this benefits all exchanges after it was successfully deployed. It seems like the incentives are not there for larger, more established exchanges to implement such blanket latency. So, firms like GS see a benefit to this kind of investment.

That's only partially true. The real issue is that there is no official representation of race or heritage found in DNA. Modern genetic testing is a best-effort exercise for classification whose 'accuracy' varies by sample size, race coverage, and group(s) sponsoring testing/analysis.

Quite simply, one cannot look at a DNA sequence and say definitively it is one race or another—there is no official Rosetta Stone for translating DNA to race or heritage.

From that wiki page:

Phosphogypsum is radioactive due to the presence of naturally occurring uranium and thorium

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has banned most applications of phosphogypsum with a radium-226 concentration of greater than 10 picocurie/gram (0.4 Bq/g).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_radium#Radium-226

The longest lived, and most common, isotope of radium is 226Ra with a half-life of 1,600 years. 226Ra occurs in the decay chain of 238U (often referred to as the radium series.)

With a half-life of 1600 years for Radium-226, quite a long time.

Despite the negative connotation, I wholeheartedly agree with this assessment. I usually ignore YT's Recommended videos for the same reasons you describe.
