I've "used" it in pretty much every Go project I've worked on but almost always in the form of an HTTP handle middleware. Write once, maybe update once a year when we have a change to how we report/log errors.

Bose headphones are a lot cheaper than the extra floor(s) they'd need to rent to give everyone an office

This is me as well. I can remember code snippets down to line numbers. I can remember what, who and why decisions where made (from jobs I last worked at 5+ years ago). I can remember, almost to the exact wording what people said when having discussion/arguments but I have trouble remembering the names of people I've met multiple times, I forget basic facts about my childhood or general knowledge and I forget to follow up with people after meetings etc.

I've always thought of it as having a good `situational memory`, it's interesting you say the same. I'm lucky I'm a dev, I'd be useless at anything else!

The classic crypto phrase "choose the team".

When the team consists of one person with a monkey as their profile picture and no other details other than he's rich, another is a 20year old 10x dev who's been creating smart contracts "for years", one's the cool looking marketing genius who posts on twitter a 1000 times per hour and the rest is made up of stock imagery of middle age white men who are the "advisory board"

Also to think that an engineer who’s intentionally joined a company to work on AI self driving tech wouldn’t immediately quit when they where forced to move and work on Twitter content moderation is laughable. They’d find another job faster than Musk changes moods.

I think there's a combination of both. I'm interested by the concept of the blockchain but I'm also apprehensive of the companies/projects that are created on it (for a lot of the reasons outlined in the original post).

However offering £150K + sign on bonus is enough for a lot of people (maybe even me) to overlook these issues and jump in for short term gain and the possibility of massive long term gains.

If they paid the same as a traditional startup the equation would be different and I think you would see less people making the switch.

This. Web3 companies are willing to pay ridiculous amounts of money plus they are willing to pay those high salaries no-matter where you are based.

The fully remote salaries I've seen recently for Web3 jobs almost makes me want to make the switch.

A lot of Fintechs get their banking license in Lithuania now for the EU

And you basically have all the downsides of being full time in office. Have to live within commuting distance, have to buy the train/bus season tickets (or have a working car and fuel it), have to schedule deliveries/family time/exercise around your in office days etc.

Things like mobile/webisite analytics events. User A clicked this menu item, User B viewed this images etc All streamed into S3 in chunks of smallish files.

It's cheaper to store them in S3 over a DB and use tools like Athena or Redshift spectrum to query.

Doubt it, she humiliated these people.

And what about all the legitimate use cases for censorship/banning?

What happens when the chain / ipfs is flooded with immutable CP? Anti-semitic content? Anti-Vaxx disinformation? Revenge-porn? Pii leaks?

Just took a look at ENS, within 5 mins I was able to find <pupular_first_name>.eth's first and last name, who they work for, their LinkedIN profile, their ETH address, how much they have in crypto holdings, what NFT's they buy/sell and full tx history... Who wants that?

You might want to avoid mentioning transaction fees when trying to promote the benefits of crypto...

Are you saying it's not more practical for me to pay $100 for a bottle of wine that will be made sometime in the future plus $60 in transition fees!?

What's the business/design decision behind this: https://investors.block.xyz/governance/leadership/default.as...

Doubt they care too much about bad words in commit messages, what they should worry about is if they've ever checked in passwords/secrets/private keys and not re-written the git history

Excellent drinking-game tv!

Take a shot every time Kevin says "bespoke"

On the other hand, it would be nice to know the core languages in play. I have no interest in working in Java anymore, I avoid job listings for companies that would expect me to write Java. I don't want to have to go through recruiter screens etc before I can ask someone who will know what language I would be spending the next year of my life working with

It's unfortunate though that medical professionals have a deep misstrust/hatred for new technology due to bad experiences from poorly run it contracting.

My mum worked for the NHS and I'd regularly hear her complaining for weeks/months on end about new IT systems that either didn't work, were hard to use or were months or even years behind schedule. All while knowing how much these projects cost (it's all public info here) and that the people working on it where getting paid in a day what she would be lucky to make in a week.

At this point I think I'd rather have Peter Capaldi acting as Malcolm Tucker running Whitehall over the shower of incompetent people we have now. At least he might get something done in between the flaying

I don't think I could ever use Bitcoin for regular transactions, even if it became as stable as USD. As soon as someone gets your bitcoin address they can see your full transaction history and basically your net worth, there's no way anyone wants that!

You mean clocking down the processor to reduce power draw from the batter, increasing the lifespan of the device...

`content creators who really care would find a way to make it work` is a terrible way to think.

All that means is the barrier to entry increases from anyone, from any background and means to people who can afford to produce content already. You lose the young kids starting out, you loose those from poorer backgrounds, you loose the creatives working on their side projects while working a 9 to 5 because they can no longer afford to make content.

If _you_ don't want ads don't consume the content, you're not entitled to it. Quality might not be quantity but quantity (being able to continue to produce content without a huge financial burden) develops quality.

Have been running our API on Gateway/Lambda for well over a year now, having migrated from EC2. We've spent almost no time "managing" API gateway, monitoring or logging since the initial setup and migration of our infrastructure.

If you are managing API gateway or your logging it's a failing on your initial setup and design, not on Serverless.

Those are theoretical limits from simulations. This is the first to actually record a real 300mph run

No what they're saying is that if you want to monitor your child mobile usage, handing over full access of their phone to a 3rd party developer isn't the way to go about it.

Scale, redundancy/backups and security.

The 10M daily active users are spread across every continent, in different time zones. All with the expectation of near real time delivery of messages, push notifications/emails and file uploads. The expectation that everything is immediately searchable and that you can search across messages and files thought the entire history of your slack usage. The expectation that there is an audit log of every message, whether it's been deleted or not and that data is never lost (due to HR/legal needs). And the expectation that everything is secure.

Because relevant ads are actually good for users and developers.

If you're served an ad for something you genuinely like and will use it benefits you. If you're able to bring a user to your service/product that will engage/purchase it benefits you.

Software dev here, use my new iPad Pro in work all the time.

I originally bought one for home use, so I would stop using my laptop to watch Netflix/YouTube/Prime and then get distracted by work (too easy to flick over to an IDE or GitHub when an idea would pop into my head when at home).

The iPad works really well for this but I now find myself using it in work too for almost the same reason. Rather than bringing my laptop to meetings and then getting distracted (same as watching Netflix at home) I now just bring the iPad to take notes or look up stats/analytics online(most of the platforms we use have pretty good iPad UI support).

It's been great at properly focusing on meetings, now if I have an idea on a problem I just write it in a note and get on with the meeting rather than finding myself jumping to VS code and trying to work.
