In my book this is an incompetent PM who doesn’t test anything by himself. If he would have to sit through the JSON parsing a few times every day it would have been fixed in a matter of days.

I've never met an engineering team that used Riak

I was part of a recent cloud migration. Part of on-prem (though unfortunately not migrated by my team) were this very first Riak Cluster I saw in production.

The engineering team used it as "kind of S3" for images, with 3 to 5 PHP scripts providing an interface to Riak and imageMagic. It seemed to me like a good abstraction and I think the migration to S3 was mostly painless.

Other than that I only had contact with Riak at university around 15 years ago, when we tested cluster setups of several NoSQL databases and tried to manually introduce faults to see if they could heal. Riak passed our test at that time, MongoDB didn't.

a common feeling is that might be making us more judgmental and more picky in our partners. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I love perfection as much as the next person and knowing what's out there helps you narrow down the ideal human being you want to spend your life with.

I kind of disagree with this. I‘m pretty sure love is something where the 80/20 rule applies as much as everywhere else. Looking for perfection doesn’t make much sense to me, when you can be 80% happy for 20% of the invested time. Try to find someone you can argue with and talk it out without being so angry that one of you walks away forever. Searching for the perfect partner who’s not in a relationship with someone else sounds like a nightmare to me.

And I’m with the same person for > 20 years, non-married, with a 12yo daughter.

For linux, there is faketime, which will set a specific date and time for all child processes. This enables you to test software you don't even compile for time-based problems, e.g. logic around Feb 29th or daylight saving time.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it didn't display the outcome of the dice in this case. And it would be nice to have some hint that shows that this game ends in a Tie.

I just read about this on [0].

This method is a little bit more complicated than you describe it. I’m also not sure how easy it is to scale.

You still need to destroy parts of the beehive, let all the bees hunger for a few days and disinfectant the parts of the beehive you want to reuse. I don’t know if all of this is possible with that many beehives mentioned in the post.

An Ansible playbook is usually the main entrypoint, it consists of a list of plays. Each play has hosts and a list of tasks to run at them.

Because people wanted to reuse their code, the abstraction of roles was created. A role is something like „setup basic OS stuff“, „create this list of users“, „setup a Webserver“, „setup a database“. The association, which roles to run on which machine still happens in the playbook.

Apparently I worded my first sentence wrong and you didn't bother to read longer than that. Apologies.

I just want to reiterate: DOM objects do have properties, because they are JavaScript objects. You make it sound like they have properties because this is something the DOM API set. And unfortunately this is only the case for some special HTML attributes, not for all of them.

LOL, I feel like the author mix up the two things even in the title. There are HTML attributes, there is the DOM API (which for example exists also in other languages, but not always refers to HTML but mostly XML instead) and there are JavaScript Object properties. And because the DOM api uses JavaScript objects you can access properties. But only attributes are serialized / deserialised. And some frameworks blur this, so you get and set both as a „convenience“.

I also think that open source is better than closed source. Nothing to argue about.

What I was wondering when I read the same sentence you quoted: how many really serious security bugs like Heartbleed, CVE-2008-0166, or the zx drama are happening without people finding out about it and publishing their findings?

Don’t worry, all of this is necessary because the passwords are stored in plain text in the database.

Having a standing desk is worth it. I used to have back pain and with the standing desk it is all gone.

But even when you just sit at the desk, a few centimeters of table height can make all the difference for back pain.

I have an electric one from Ikea for around 500 EUR, but there are also even cheaper similar desks for ~ half the price.
