There's a coordinated ad campaign running for Samsung 5G + Fortnite. I wonder how much, if anything, Samsung paid Epic Games for the joint marketing.

You mean like https://github.com/RoaringBitmap/CRoaring ?

The "OG" in the space is collectd, which is still my favorite choice if you are responsible at the operating system level: https://collectd.org/wiki/index.php/Chains

https://github.com/elastic/logstash was one of the first modern approaches. I started using it less the more often I ran into JRuby related bugs.

https://github.com/trivago/gollum is my pick from the golang ecosystem.

There are many more variants depending on how much complexity you are trying to apply. If you need to apply machine learning models, for example, you're probably going to end up with something similar to Apache Storm, though I don't know if it's operational story has improved enough to consider it over other alternatives, I lost track years ago between Apache Spark and the half dozen other stream processing projects.

This is done efficiently at scale by both Cylance and Crowdstrike, but is certainly only one part of a defense in depth strategy.

There are viable products around human threat hunting which would be impossible without a 'collect all the data' component.

Google Translate used to have instant translation from a photo for more languages and then they turned them off, no reason why.

Also you get tremendously worse translations when you translate a document (pdf, doc) vs the "scan/import" an image of text function.

It's a real bummer because hypertext and mobile UI should be excellent mediums for presenting multiple candidate translations and letting the reader indicate the best translation.

it's not copying the cookie, but there are absolutely third party UIs via a user's API key, it's not a huge leap of faith to assume Twitter has similar internally.

"Tweet As User" is the basis for almost all social media management tools and Twitter still doesn't have very fine-grained permissions grants. https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/apps/guides/app...

We had a running gag in our social media startup of tweeting "poop" from people who left their phones/computers unlocked ... someone did it to an employee that was logged in as a customer (corporate brand) context and that was the end of that 'joke'.

terraform forces you to write custom providers instead of letting you glue tools together. cloudformation has the same issue with custom resources, though the abstraction is better since you can write custom resources in whatever language you want.

neither of them solve for CI or pull request workflows themselves, so people try to bridge the gap with Jenkins and now the frankenstein monster comes to life -- now you've got golang, groovy, yaml, none of which your product devs generally have any familiarity with, let alone the idiosyncrasies of terraform state management, cloudformation stacks stuck in ROLLBACK_COMPLETE, yaml whitespace sensitivity, Jenkins scripting sandbox woes, troubleshooting from logs without being able to step through a debugger in an IDE, errors that only happen in eu-west-3, etc, etc...

Clutch looks great!

The transliteration is somewhat impressive for the bits of UTF-8 non-english I can type...

Congratulations, you're one of the lucky 10,000!

Don't be a sourpuss because you were exposed to a new meme, that's how echo chambers form.

corporations aren't people, despite a lot of hand wringing to the contrary

Elon Musk's Starlink would like to have a word with you.

Yeah, that whole thing doesn't exist for my generation. We've never had savings accounts that beat inflation in our lifetime.

If you get rid of bad cops you don't have to do anything to fix the unions.

Isn't everyone insolvent, in 2020?

You don't change things by disagreeing or arguing. You change things by getting people to agree before agreement is necessary.

Even if you take it as facetious, it's shitposting. The punchline is insipid and uninspired.

We just call this a shell account. Putting a terminal in a web browser is usually a massive downgrade.

I just wait for Amazon to come out with some sort of affiliate payments integration with their Just Walk Out tech to know whether attribution is possible at scale...

I mean, the browser paradigm is already in its 2nd generation, from initially on the mainframe to being reimplemented in functions as a service. And browsers are getting a little bit smarter about deploying atomic units and caching their dependencies. Remember using jquery from a CDN? Oof.

The only saving grace is that Javascript is willing to throw itself away every couple of years.

ROI positive campaigns

Also have thousands of MSSQL databases, but with significant investment in tooling it really is transparent from a feature development standpoint, and our feature toggles are dirt simple.

Another comment suggested doing queries across so many databases is challenging, and it's just not, we have both adhoc query capabilities across the fleet and a traditional data warehouse...

Now, trying to make additional infrastructure changes is challenging, but the architecture is robust enough to solve all the immediate business needs.

This is a positive bias IMO, and any negative reactions that bubble up in the replies are going to be more useful.

This seems like a winner to me. Iterating a graph along some association explains the ordering mentioned in the blog post, and explains the breadth of connectivity.

What's your plan?

Oh. TIL why I was getting all those unsolicited offers.

I took my extension down instead, as I didn't have time to figure out how I had painted a target on my back.

I only published my extension as a fork of an open source project that started injecting malware, presumably from a similar offer...

I was amazed to see they doxxed basically every admin they employ... Why bother securing any data when you can just publish it?

They aren't solving this problem, they're killing off extensions. And I say this having received many unsolicited attempts to "purchase" Chrome extensions.

https://github.com/kubeless/kubeless seems pretty healthy to me
