I've always been the person who types an emoji into a form just to see what happens. Most of the bugs I've reported are really about data that my code assumed would look a certain way.So I built ChaosData. Give it a schema, and it generates realistic data with a few deliberate edge cases mixed in. Emojis where they shouldn't be, malformed strings, edge-case integers, etc. mysqldump --no-data...
Assume all software is broken at all times. Constantly try to ensure it works and is secure. Sometimes updates break things. Test before production. Ensure test environments are similar to production. You're going to break things.
Could it be that your experience doesn't apply to everyone?
I've been living in the same area as you, and I go for walks almost daily; it's astonishingly miserable out.
I have a friend who does almost identical physical activity to me, as we have similar jobs. He sweats very little when outside unless physically exerting himself. I sweat profusely when just walking; even when wearing significantly less clothing.
I can't wait to watch the first entirely generated short film and create my own.
I'll admit I got a few paragraphs in before that made it click.
Cool.
As someone on the same dose of Adderall/Vyvanse for 15+ years it's really hard to keep reading after this. Lots of people depend on substances to live. This article reads like it's trying to solve all psychological conditions with willpower.
Start with a minute walk. Make time in your day for it. Extend to a 2 minute walk. 5 minute. 15 minute. Etc.
> Technology is supposed to make our lives easier.
Technology isn't supposed to do anything. Technology is a tool to be used. Anyone can use tools incorrectly. Lots of people do, including myself!
Nobody is suggesting anyone put 'lots of people' on a mature product. However, there are always things that need to be done.
Apps need to be updated for new devices, OS/library/security updates, and general bug reports to name a few. That's just on the app side, the same is true for any build pipelines/hosting infrastructure.
These apps don't run themselves regardless of how mature they are.
You're right in that fewer people are needed and I'm all for optimizing but what I feel like you're missing is that it's quite easy to over-optimize for cost at the expense of users.
Is there a standard way to tell customers where your webhooks will be coming from just in case they want to whitelist those IPs?If there isn't a standard what is the most common way? Docs? Some random URL with IP CIDRs in JSON?
As someone who takes daily medication, I didn't read the GP's comment as making fun. It seemed to just be a statement of belief.
Craigslist has implemented this perfectly for years but I don't see a lot of other companies doing it. It makes a lot of sense that Craigslist doesn't need to filter / moderate messages between users as it just provides a way for them to communicate through email (mostly) anonymously.Creating such an email relay seems non-trivial so I'm curious if there are any open source or even paid products...
I’ve been on basically the same dose for 15 years now and while it’s hard to say what my life would have been like without it I’m not sure I would have held a job for very long.
The best glimpses I get are like right now when I’m preparing for bed my thoughts are everywhere. I remember vaguely how easily distracted I was and how I self medicated a bit with alcohol.
Anyway, it works for me! I’m sure others have strategies that work for them.
