I was looking at this yesterday and I also use a PW3. It seemed you actually have to open the case for physical access to jailbreak it. Did you do that? I punted.

Is there more I could read to get educated about this? How can we construct polical systems that are better?

Congratulations! I adore bootstrap. Huge ecosystem, easy to customize and incorporates so much cross browser “stuff” it’s hard to even imagine. I remember the Fat and MDO days fondly.

This. GKE is rediculous how easy it is to spin up a cluster. 60 seconds max. Why fight setting up K8S?

Apple needs to differentiate it’s lines further. The MacBook can be 2 mm thin and light as a feather for those who value those features. However, the MacBook Pro should be a true pro machine with a great keyboard, great screen, necessary ports, and built like a tank. Thinness obsession has gotten a bit far IMHO.

Unless you are using MySQL or PostgreSQL. ;)

I wrote a Blockchain to learn the tech. I now have a pretty good understanding. Now that I get it I keep looking for legitimate reasons to use it and frankly I haven’t found many. Eliminating property title insurance via an immutable set of property ownership records/txns is one that seems reasonable. It fits because the txn volume is low. Many “forced” uses would be better served by more standard architectures.

Why do I love stuff like this sooo much? (I really do)

Consider the yak shaved. :)

I first used $GOPATH and “go get”. Was amazed at how simple and easy it was and it “just worked”. Then you start to run into issues... so I started using Glide. Which worked pretty darn well. Then I switched to Dep because “it was the future” and it didn’t cause me to break out in hives. Now vgo... but Dep works for me so at the moment I don’t plan to switch until vgo is good and baked. Given Boyer’s concerns I hope he maintains Dep for a while as vgo is polished. Too bad this was not part of the vision at the start. Not sure where JS would be without NPM, etc.

#1 - Congratulations! #2 - I am interested more in where clustering is going and running Redis inside K8S. Is there something someone can point me to to read on best practices for Redis 5?

Cambridge Analytica showed that they figured out that people who are highly religious can be manipulated easily. They are called them something like “low information” voters. Meaning they vote more on emotion vs facts. The fact that Trump got the religion vote astounds me as he seems to hold no Christian morality at all.

Explain.

Based on relativity photons do not experience time. They “hit” something the instant they are created - even if we perceive them to have existed for billions of (light) years.

Because Moar Blockchain. Blockchain all the things!

... sorry had to post this. Quite tired of Blockchain.

Umm... maybe they don’t want people using ad blockers. So having a malicious minefield may inhibit users from installing them. Maybe...

Who is running what?

A language is valued by its programmer bench, tooling, available libraries, as well as the language itself. Honest question - what is better than go right now?

This is absolutely false. FB delivers a whole profile.

Excellent points. I definitely oversimplified.

CDN: no trade offs. Faster everywhere. More reliable overall

Cockroach DB: trade some performance for geographic redundancy. The trade off may work in your favor - e.g. read heavy workloads (or not).

I plugged in CDB I place of Postgres for some testing this week, was surprised it worked so well.

I tend to agree and I’d throw Chi in the mix. I like Chi quite a bit. Or, use the Gorilla components and middleware.

This is a fantastic introduction.

Hardest for me was giving myself “permission” to recover. What I mean is that like a NBA star who is in the game but exhausted gets pissed when the coach pulls him out of the game for a breather (even if he desperately needs one) because well he’s the “the man” and you don’t put the man on the bench. I was exhausted, depressed, and anti-social outside work. But I did not want to stop because work was also my identity where I was “the man”. I forced myself (eventually) to take a time out but it has been very difficult being idle and I find myself struggling for something that is interesting and makes me happy to do. I can’t just sit on the bench. I find “doing nothing” basically impossible.

Troy: HUGE kudos for how you managed such an open and transparent process. Don’t recall any other examples of such inclusiveness and openness for a senate testimony. Bruce Schnier did a good job sharing his testimony after the fact but you went all in.

Nice job TJ. This definitely scratches an itch. Thought you were a Go dev these days. ;)

Umm... not without losing bet number one and the associated brand and image impact of selling thousands of cars that were sold as self-driving capable.

I would add that offline mode in google maps is a lifesaver. I am in Iceland right now and was able to download a huge area and can navigate without any data usage. Wonderful!!

Umm... why do people always assume "hosting it yourself" is more secure and not less? Do you have Slack's security expertise and budget? In my experience when small to mid-size companies attempt to manage security themselves they do a passable job but are convinced they are doing an excellent job - until they get hacked.

Larger companies usually have the budget, tools and expertise. But even then there are lots big companies with mediocre security too.
