codenesium | 2 years ago | on: You are never taught how to build quality software

I ask how do you build quality software in interviews. A lot of people are caught completely flat footed by it. They have no idea.

Nice of them to test your failover for you.

codenesium | 2 years ago | on: Video streaming at scale with Kubernetes and RabbitMQ

That is scale I can't comprehend.

codenesium | 2 years ago | on: 10-year Treasury yield rises to 5%, highest level for the key rate in 16 years

I think you're missing several orders of magnitude on that math.

Maybe a T instead of a B.

codenesium | 2 years ago | on: Video streaming at scale with Kubernetes and RabbitMQ

Rabbit and most databases have their own failover strategy. Putting it all on k8s is fine for a toy app but idk why anyone would deploy a real system like that.

codenesium | 2 years ago | on: New JFK assassination revelation could upend the lone gunman theory

The distance was like 75 yards. I visited the book depository as a child and even then thought I could make that shot.

An undersea civilization is exploring the air world.

99% of the time it doesn't kill you isn't what we're shooting for.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What's your proudest hack?

Captured the requests in a flash client used in a 6 hour defensive driving class to skip to the last page. Got my certificate. My friend did the same thing and the company reached out trying to figure out why they were getting all of these database errors...

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is the future of Swift on the server-side?

The list is long. If you're familiar with c++ take a look at C#. Go and Java are safe bets as well. Beyond that there are a million backend languages out there.

Probably thought it was the run over and blow up kind not the kind with a magnet.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Multiple assertions are fine in a unit test

I'm curious what things you're trying to do that requires you to overload xunit classes? We use xunit for everything and haven't found any gaps so far.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Backend for Front-end

Also, the data may be coming from multiple systems. So somewhere you have to stich that data together.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Backend for Front-end

Because the API is a REST API and you don't want your frontend to have to make 100 calls to render a screen. Each frontend may be a completely different app so they all need the data in their own format. And each team may control their app so you don't want all of the teams roadblocked by the API team.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: What was life like before and after a baby

You're going to think you have it figured out and then they and you are going to get sick. I'm 3 months in and the lack of sleep is tough. Hobbies are on hold. Just try not to think about it too much and focus on taking care of your kiddo, your SO and your job. There might be enough energy to do most of that.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: First-time dad-to-be. What do you wish you'd known back then?

Buy an electric crib that rocks and has music. Take shifts if you can. Sleep whenever you can get it. Workout.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Having trouble getting senior applicants, wondering what to do about it

When I see a job posting with no salary all I think is what are they scared of? Must be low. A 4 hour project for a senior? For DevOps? I could spend those 4 hours pinging people in my network and probably have interviews scheduled.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Food security and the coming storm

You pump it back out into the ocean.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: I found a pretty extreme data leak and I'm not sure what to do

You probably have. You just don't know it.

codenesium | 3 years ago | on: The Biggest Potential Water Disaster in the United States

How does returning it to the river solve the problem of their isn't enough groundwater? That water goes back into the ocean where it's stuck if it never rains.
