this is ridiculous advice.

sure, use third party services / applications to ease insights and additional steps like notifications, but not logging at all does not make any sense.

"And eliminate all possible exceptions that can happen here" that's including runtime exceptions?

"There are a lot of cases when we don’t care. Because of the retries, queues, or it might be an optional step that can be skipped" using different log levels perfectly indicates the importance of the exception.

"it sounds like a job for Sentry, not logging" afaik sentry is logging which makes me wonder whether the author is advocating a principle or a product...

puppet is pretty good in my experience

searching for

  best cell phone to buy site:reddit.com

and setting it to results from last month works fine...

interesting question.

we roll forward and thus far never ran into the situation that that wasn't possible in a reasonable amount of time.

nevertheless i've wondered more than once what would happen if we run into such a situation and there's a substantial database migration in the process (i.e. with table drops).

curious to learn what the different strategies are on that point: do you put your table contents in the down migration, do you revert to the last backup, etc.

i think that's why people lost interest; most of them who liked series 1 weren't interested in series 2, while the people who might have liked series 2 weren't interested in series 1...

flipping sides apparently didn't really pay off for mr robot.

nevertheless i think mr robot set a higher standard for hacker related productions

preposterous!

i wonder how many people who welcome this idea as a work thing, actually had to pay someone's salary some point in their carreer...

os x 10.11.6

nothing does; no images and non functional links.

looks like firefox' content blocking prevents some resources from loading, basically disabling your site.

apart from the obvious google tag blockage this one pops up in the console:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/hot.json. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed).

doesn't work at all using firefox (67.0.1)?

> If Microsoft could have easily gotten around the effects of a breakup, I'd expect almost everything about that fight to be different.

you are right and i pretty much forgotten about that.

microsoft fought a similar battle in europe with the same legal outcome and basically resulting in a "browser pick" splash when you installed the OS and that was about it.

that's a story where there was actually taken some action.

but, for example, for years it's been frowned upon that companies like apple "bank" their money in, for example, ireland and get away with not paying taxes in the countries they actually have offices.

that's a story where there has been no action for a (known) issue like the one described in the aticle. so how likely will it be that tech giants will create a legal entity abroad, hosting their platform, whilst they will continue to be the biggest player on that platform?

i'm not saying ms. warren doesn't have a point, just that it seams that this is just another "symptom control" item which sounds politically correct, but won't get any traction in the "real world"

is this going to solve anything?

sounds like cutting down a tree when it gets too big rather than preventing it growing like that...

i'm quite sure companies like google, apple, facebook, etc. are creative enough to find a way to get around this restriction which will just ensure a false sense of security.

i get the whole monopoly and fair competition issues, but haven't there been rules and regulations for those for quite a while?

apart from that: how realistic is this scenario to get actual laws enforing it when those same companies are pretty much funding the government?

i've got a strong impression this article is about sunglasses rather than eyewear in general.

"Armani, Brooks Brothers, [ ... ], Vogue and Versace" neither of them, as far as i know, make decent "regular" glasses.

i've been wearing glasses for the last 42 years and apart from when you're a kid (because you break more shit than your parents would like to admit) you don't need (nor want) a different frame each year; it's not a fashion thing, it's something you actually need to function.

with that in mind: you don't go to a pearl store to get measurements for your eyes, at least not if you want them to be accurate.

so yeah, Luxottica might be behind a lot of "fashion based" eyeware, but hey who's running the show for sneakers or training suits other than nike and adidas? i mean, this is nothing new and if you want to be trendy it's going to cost you.

meanwhile i think i spent ~€1000 on frames and lenses the last 15 year whilst wearing silhouette. so, at least for me, it's not as bad as the article makes it out to be

it's a "constant" so it's value cannot be altered during execution of the application.

basically starting a rant about being a tightass about code review with a bad piece of code

an or condition in a constant; yeah you'll be the judge...

which means your tests have a full coverage of code and scenarios?

the bits which get a bit confusing are for example: - "developers control when these kinds of changes are integrated" - "We want developers to be able to decide when to merge this kind of PR in conjuction with other PRs"

it implicates that the developer who wrote the code, controls when it gets merged without a "proper" review

of course i'm unaware of your codebase and your entire workflow, but a change / addition in a swagger file implicates a change in an endpoint of your api. how do you make sure other applications / resources with the changed library as a dependency, don't run into problems when you're auto merging and auto bumping dependencies?

i am all for having your ci ensuring the quality insurances which can be automated (firing unit tests, static code analysis, etc.) to reduce the amount of work any reviewer has to do on a pull request.

nevertheless, auto approving and merging pull requests and also auto bumping dependecies with only a bot as reviewer does sound like a very bad idea in general. how does one make sure the bump required for service A doesn't break service B which also relies that dependency? admitted, testing someone else's code is not the most exciting part of being a developer, but it's a necessary evil isn't it?

to be honest, this workflow sounds like hotfix hell to me when you'd combine it with continuous deployment...

this article is all over the place...

- spent $100.000 on personal branding, but what was spent on building the instagram following and what was the ROI on that part?

- "If you wanna know how to get to a million followers, it’s not complicated." so why does he only has 118.000 followers? did he give up before reaching his goal?

- "And guess what? Thanks to that exclusivity, he’s the most searched-for term. If you type “Seth” into Google, “Seth Godin” is the first search result. " first of all no he's not and second of all he's not in the suggestion list because he doesn't broadcast his mailing list. would have been nice to see some reasoning behind that statement.

- "It cost me $1,000 to speak at All Thing Social Media Event or at Soho House on growth hacking. I was able to generate at least $10,000, in some cases even 100X on my spend." is part of the sentence is missing? how do you get 1000% ROI from such gigs?

ramblings...

apple ditched the floppy drive with the release of their g3 hardware, the ethernet port with the macbook air (and built in cd/dvd drive), before that they ditched the serial & parallel port, etc.

any of us still missing those?

needless to say that it kinda sucks when a new device forces you to buy new adapters / peripherals, but in the long run, is this really an issue?
