Does heroku not handle distributed elixir? What does that even entail

Sorry just saw this, that was a joke about the Houston Astros using buzzers allegedly to çheat :)

Are you from Houston?

IMO there is not a lot of hate for monoliths. Service oriented architectures and their successor microservices have experienced a lot of push back from teams that have tried it and it doesn't work out for all applications.

PHP - I mean, it gets the job done. I would never start a new company and choose it, but if you're already on it, its good enough for most things. Go can be far superior depending on your needs.

Incremental rewrites are just always better. The issue with full rewrites is that you have to rewrite everything - which I suppose sounds good to some engineers, but I dread being forced to spent weeks on parts of the product that are not an issue. Usually you do the rewrite to make things faster, more maintainable, and easier to add features. The issue is, the larger the rewrite, the worse you make all those things in the short-term.

They should really just say "less infrastructure".

Is that even really true? Movies ETC that are aggressively removed and don't stay on youtube for long if at all. Maybe it used to be more lenient, but I can't remember the last time I saw something on youtube like that.

Gross. Last thing porn needs is to be more fake

Whats the point of even having it in data dog? Typically we pay a ton for services like Newrelic for monitoring, the APM, and insights. Like you, we have tons of logs, so I wouldn't want to pay Newrelic or Newrelic-similar prices for a service you can just use ELK for yourself much cheaper. So basically I don't really see why you signed on to data dog at all

it would be more accurate that they both conform to the OCI runtime spec, right?

Companies need to stop treating IPs or groups of IPs like identifiers. When I'm in my office, I can't access yelp. They blocked that ip range for some reason, maybe because of something we did. We block entire countries at work because we were getting a lot of DDOS from those countries and we don't do business their but it ends up blocking a lot of legit use cases and wasting a lot of time.

"My understanding is that MRI Ruby provides non-block IO operations if you wrap them in a thread and that it is only CPU bound tasks that are blocked by the GVL."

All IO operations in ruby are subject to the GIL (global interpreter lock).

You can do a lot of the things that Graphql does bu just a regular old JSON HTTP API. It's just not automatic and you will have to choose your own conventions

"You'll likely never be in a situation where over-querying via a non-granular REST call will ever be an issue worth optimising around."

I've def been in this situation before. But I agree that it it is not the norm

I love video games and play regularly (but casually). I've seen quite a few programmers who suck at their jobs basically because they are up late at night playing video games.

I've been addicted to video games in the past, but these days I only play console games and ones that are suited to casual play. And I only have Mac computers so I can't play most games anyways even if I was tempted. I also save money on expensive gaming PC rigs

[iPhone] I just use Apollo, which is pretty good overall. Used to Alien Blue, loved it.

Sweet app, nice job.

I've also used this style react time picker and woosh not a fan them for usability

Or you could just put a box over your keyboard, like my typing teacher used to do when she saw me lookin

I declare burger king!!

Those ppl should be at the very least muting when they are not talking. I recommend using a push to talk app - I like https://mizage.com/shush/

Ruby is easy a fuck to learn. And it’s fun! It was influenced by Python, give it a shot

Gitlabs wants to hire people from everywhere. If they don’t pay people enough, they won’t be able to compete for those employees. If they pay everyone SF rates, they will have far less engineers than their competitors and will overpay unnecessarily.

Pretty much yes on all of this. I don't mind rollbacks though - there are issues with rolling back but if I can, I will. If there is a database migration, I typically will roll forward as you say.

Staging envs are generally a crutch. They can help but they can also hurt.

Where’s the evidence anyone will actually use this thing? Maybe eventually. You can already do this at apple, but does anyone do it? Perhaps, they will get used to it in time, but i don’t know.

Yeah I’ve used PCF and their open source stuff a lot, and i’ve never had an issue with their stuff not working. Pair programming and TDD lends itself to code that works well and is pretty well documented. No complaints

"The U.S. is doing very little to prevent this. A lot of people, especially elderly people, will likely die."

At this point, what realistically could the US do to prevent this? It will continue to spread in other countries, and there's nothing the US can do about that. We can implement more severe travel restrictions, but that has its own issues and it's not recommended by the WHO. That will only be effective for a period of time in the beginning of the virus spread, and they are basically doing that afaik

Im no expert, but besides providing financial or medical aid to to the countries fighting the virus, and helping developing a vaccine/cure, I'm not sure what the US should be doing prevention wise

I think OP is merely pointing out that in the majority of corporate environments upper management isn't really looking for feedback or how to improve etc. Any thoughts or suggestions for improvements will oftentimes not be shared upward, because of the risk it will be viewed as a criticism and make your manager appear weak.

That doesn't mean it's right. It's just what happens in the wild

"As a result, I have become the late adopter among my group of friends because the first iteration of any new technology usually just isn't worth the issues." This is only true for things where reliability matters more than the new features the new tech provides. In the case of cars, of course, I'd prefer reliability.

But for other things like the original iPhone, sometimes new tech is just better than whats out their even if there will always been some flaws in the first versions

Social media changes the WHY people do things. They go out just so they can post a cool photo of them having a great time outside when really inside they are all fucked up.

Sometimes but usually I think the primary factor is the personality of the junior engineers. I think to be successful you have to like learning independently and have a good work ethic. Most places don't have strong mentoring programs and as you mentioned some programmers won't mentor for whatever reason
