linkedin.com/in/karldingJessie also has a blog post about this [1] from back in 2015. If you prefer video format, Jessie also has a talk at DockerCon SF 2015 [2].

I don't think people realize just how much Content ID affects the presentation of media that content creators upload on YouTube. Tony Zhou and Taylor Ramos (of "Every Frame a Painting" fame) detailed this in their blog post from 2017 about the end of their channel [0], explaining that through their attempts at evading Content ID, the filters designed to restrict them ended up becoming their distinctive editing style. Unfortunately, they inadvertently edited themselves into a corner if they wanted their channel to have a consistent visual style/branding. They later discovered that this choice also had the side effect of preventing them from exploring various film aspects that they wanted while evading detection via Content ID filters.

Absolutely. Probably the most common difference I've seen in "Debug" and "Release" builds relying on the standard library headers is when NDEBUG is defined as a macro when <assert.h> is included, which causes assert to become a no-op [0].
This has interesting implications when developers accidentally rely on the side effects of functions and assert on the return value of that helper. On "Release" builds that side effect would be compiled out. For that case, clang-tidy has the bugprone-assert-side-effect [1] checker if you want to enforce this in your CI.

As of September 2019, Slack reported 12 million DAUs [0]. Of course, that is pre-pandemic, and the only figures that Slack has provided regarding demand in 2020 are these tweets [1] from Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield back in March. In those tweets, it mentions that Slack was serving 12.5M simultaneously connected users.

Essentially you start with the serialization format instead of starting with the deserialized data (or like how the title of this submission says, "describe the structure of data"). As such, you can somewhat describe protobufs [0] using Kaitai structs, but the converse is not necessarily true.
There's actually a section under their FAQ [1] with a more in-depth response to this.

> One approach is to use the multi-line functionality of pass (--multiline or -m in insert), and store the password itself on the first line of the file, and the additional information on subsequent lines.
The Android Password Store app [1] also handles this format, interpreting the first line as the password and displaying the subsequent lines as additional information.

At BazelCon 2020, Borja Lorente from Twitter gave a talk [0] about how they were migrating away from Pants to Bazel. Seeing as Twitter was heavily involved in the development of Pants, not sure what that means with respect to adoption and evangalism once they complete their migration.
Lately it seems that Bazel has basically won in the space of open source projects using Bazel clones as more and more companies switch over.

There's a post here on Imgur [0] regarding an individual's experience after receiving a fake on Amazon if you want to compare the fake and original.
I basically assume any financial institution that provides support for the old "telephone banking" methods via DTMF tones either stores your password in plaintext or a hashed version that reduces entropy. I'm honestly surprised hackers haven't gotten sophisticated enough to bruteforce these reduced entropy login passwords using a Twilio account.

Would those also be CoL adjusted?

The Lane Regional Air Protection Agency has developed a conversion formula that is built into Purple Air (if you apply the LRAPA conversion factor in the UI), so you can have a better comparison.

Unless they're saying that there's certain people who have raw DB access...
On the other hand, it seems like Open Source has a lack of designers that are willing to contribute. For example, in Tantacrul's critique of MuseScore [0], there's issues highlighted that seem obvious in retrospect, but in Open Source projects, unless there's someone who drives the user experience, it's easy to miss all these small things that add up to signal (whether rightly or wrongly is besides the point) a lack of polish.
The closest thing I'm aware of is TLA+.
