At one point, I was building a service that allowed you to build digests of collections of feeds and presented the articles in a reddit-style view. Additionally, if others had the articles in their digests, it added a comment section. Is this something you would use? I had trouble gaining traction with the service and shuttered it, but I think about starting it again often.
For anyone interested in this, google “hacker news gravity algorithm” to see an interesting example of how sorting was done here at one time (as I understand it the algorithm has evolved).
I was working on creating an rss reader with a reddit-like interface that allowed follows, voting, comments, etc. The computational expense of a fancy sort algorithm based on factors other than just one non-computed column is immense once you get to a decent number of users. I ended up removing the algo just to lower my hosting bills. Of course, there were other potential solutions, but for a side project, this was easiest.
Well now I have no idea if you’re asking a serious question! To give a serious answer, it seems like most questions on forums like these are often not real questions, but rhetorical.
I've found that, with the exception of daily stand-ups, all meetings must have a bullet point agenda and notes should be sent out for each meeting with risks, action items, issues and ownership of those items. If both of those things are lacking, I doubt how useful the meeting will be or was.
I used to be a TDD zealot. In recent years, I've taken a much more selective approach to test coverage. I typically focus my testing on pieces of code that contain business logic whereas I used to test everything. I've also found automated UI testing is not worth the squeeze and I've had better luck just looking at impacted objects and manually testing those.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone has automated UI testing tools in place that are easier to write test cases for than to just do the manual testing.
When I saw Saag as a Service I was hoping for some kind of API where I could place and order through curl or something! Kinda like the EverQuest 2 pizza command.
This isn’t really a punch in the face though, is it? If someone discovered you used racial slurs nine years ago, I think they would be justified in choosing to no longer associate with you or ask you to recant what you had said in the past.
From a self-interested standpoint, I don’t think Twitter cares that much about being a historical resource and this sort of curating / censorship is really about improving Twitter’s bottom line - not some grander notion of creating a totally comprehensive historical archive of every tweet.
Not only unit movement (micro), but your ability to macro (manage your economy, produce new units, expand your base) will be great affected if you have low APM. In that sense, APM is very important. I'm confident I can beat any bronze league (lowest tier) player with nearly any unit composition (even when they pick a build that is a direct counter to me) simply because I will way out produce the bronze player since I'll be able to stay on top of my macro due to superior APM.
I've taken the approach of building the monolith first with an architecture that allows me to easily pull parts of it out into services when I hit constraints and need that scalability.
Usually they have the policies, but choose not to enforce them. The rule is there so they can expel or severely punish kids at their discretion, but typically don't want to because that represents lost revenue if the kid leaves.
Depends on the institution and their relationship to the borrower. For instance, if you are a servicer who bought the MSRs to a loan portfolio and a large cut of those borrowers pay off early, you may not make back your investment on the MSR purchase (this is unlikely though as rarely will that many people pay off early as to not payback the investment if you've conducted appropriate due diligence of the portfolio).
Though for the originating institution you're generally correct.
