deepakhj··on Monitoring your own infrastructure using Grafana, InfluxDB, and CollectD
That's debatable. I prefer Grafana.
deepakhj··on Why are CEOs failing software engineers?
My friend at Pixar says they've slowly dismantled all the good things and benefits at Pixar after Disney bought them. Disney+ was built by the acquisition of BAMTech I believe. Maybe they have more autonomy like AWS does inside of Amazon.
deepakhj··on Another 1.3M Americans File for Unemployment
I don't think the OP meant the president. The senate has about 400+ bills sitting on it's desk. If we had a functioning senate, then it would force the president to publicly veto the bill.
deepakhj··on Why the US military usually punishes misconduct but police often close ranks
There’s absolutely no benefit to shooting an officer as a criminal. You instantly become added to America’s most wanted list and the courts will throw the book at you.
deepakhj··on Boston bans use of facial recognition technology
I think it’s a big problem because many people do crime because they are poor or don’t have a solid family unit. Once they get into the system we don’t provide resources to rehab them but basically train them to become criminals. Or when they get out even if they satisfy what society asks of them, we make it really hard to recover with a felony on their record. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/16/magazine/felon-attorney-c...

deepakhj··on Google bans ZeroHedge and The Federalist from its ad platform
Even if they were split apart that still won’t block their ad unit from dropping Zerohedge.
deepakhj··on MetricsDB: TimeSeries Database for storing metrics at Twitter
You write to S3 in chunks for long term storage and keep hot data live. You don’t write every metric directly. Along with compression It shouldn’t be that 5 billion/s.

You can also use Canon or Sony's camera software and window capture it in OBS.
deepakhj··on Shopify CTO: our platform is now handling Black Friday level traffic every day
I prefer to workout with other people around vs being at home all day. Crossfit gyms have a community feeling but I don't want to do those type of workouts. :P
deepakhj··on Shopify CTO: our platform is now handling Black Friday level traffic every day
I still keep my YMCA membership at the moment. YMCA and Boys and Girls Club had a huge impact on my childhood.
deepakhj··on Shopify CTO: our platform is now handling Black Friday level traffic every day
All those side projects you never had time for. I setup my turntables and ordered a new DJ equipment. Workout gear demand has gone through the roof. Anything related to cooking, such as baking ingredients are sold out.
deepakhj··on Nintendo’s Philosophy: Lateral Thinking with Withered Technology (2015)
Sure for kids the switch can’t be beat. But the best games are all on Sony (some on PC too) Witcher 3, horizon zero down, god of war, uncharted 4, the last of us, persona 5, nier automata, assassins creed oddysey, red dead redemption 2, Spider-Man, etc.

Sweden, Norway, etc?

Zoom didn’t allow any wfh at all before this either and now they’re 100% remote.

deepakhj··on In Santa Cruz, a graduate student strike grows out of a housing crisis
Build more office space and dense housing so people can afford to start companies in Santa Cruz.
deepakhj··on In Santa Cruz, a graduate student strike grows out of a housing crisis
I have friends who rent (and probably will never be able to own) and parents who own who freak out when apartments or new construction goes up in Santa Cruz. There’s a notion that any building will ruin Santa Cruz. They’re not in the tech industry either.

I know several folks who do work in tech and they’re able to buy a house outright and it’s better to commute from Santa Cruz and be able to surf than live in a boring city like Mountain View.

deepakhj··on California’s housing crisis: how a bureaucrat pushed to build
Prop 13 would be easy to fix: 1) Limit to primary residence. 2) Charge market rate tax for everyone but for homeowners that want to defer assess it as a lien on the house that is collected once sold. New homeowner tax will drop once tax revenue is more equitable. Make this deferment income based. 3) Remove from commercial property.

La cosa Nostra made the filmmakers not mention mafia in the movie.

deepakhj··on California's housing bill SB 50 has died in the state Senate
Limit it to primary residence. Tally the tax deferred and take it out when the property is sold or transferred. Remove it from commercial properties.
