I know it's not permanent. I'm just agreeing with OP that this is misleading.

yeah, I've seen this being tossed around, but they definitely lost MY BAGS. Eventually I got them, but they were lost for 5 days or so.

I haven't paid attention for a while, but this definitely hurt their brand massively: https://www.theregister.com/2019/11/07/ubiquiti_networks_pho...

Pretty sure that's what OP is referring to.

Apologies, I was poorly paraphrasing this article: https://lwn.net/Articles/966631/

Which mentioned a few instances of distros having dependencies:

As I understand it, linux has dependencies on Redis. Since redis licence change, that can't work so linux needs an alternative. Linux foundation made a fork of redis named valkey, which was instantly backed by most of the Core maintainers, and many large companies (AWS, GCP, Oracle, Snap).

So it seems obvious that this fork which will be part of linux dependencies, has backing of big corps and core maintainers isn't going anywhere and is likely the 'new redis'.

Yeah, Bing has been consistently profitable for a long time.

People mock it because its not bringing in obscene amounts that google search does, but it's revenues have consistently been growing for years: https://fourweekmba.com/bing-revenue/

$11.59B is pretty damn good revenue for a 'laughing stock'. Especially Consider that gaming 'only' was $16.23B.

Uh sorry what? Azure is the second largest cloud provider, well ahead of google.. That's like the definition of 'web scale'

Not sure what decade you're stuck in here with comments about ajax

Microsoft definitely did not use the term 'unlimited' they used the term 'discretionary'.

Pretty cynical of this.

Manager approval needed? Pressure not to take time off. Studies show people use less time off.

Yeah, I would also add its still going to be tracked, but now that's pushed on to managers. Come performance review time, this will have an effect.

Correct, they're paying out all PTO as of Jan 15th, 2023

Yes? He tweeted the Paul Pelosi's gay lover conspiracy last week.

Not OP, but your reply comes off as pretty rude, especially as I think its pretty off base.

The chart is showing "annual percentage change in labor output", not "gross productivity" which I think supports the OPs point.

If it went up 10% in 2020, and 6.3% in 2021 (or whatever the graph is showing), just because there is a -7.4% drop in 2022 doesn't mean its "far below any pre-pandemic baseline".

In fact it's probably ABOVE pre-pandemic levels, even with the drop. I can't be certain from graph.

Sounds oddly specific :D

Yeah I agree with this.

If you drill enough of the Coding questions, they all start to run into similar buckets, and the way you approach them improves too. Buy a whiteboard off amazon, solve them legit out loud explaining what you're doing to yourself. You will get better.

The other stuff is great advice too, always try to have a summary (in your mind or on paper) of recent projects etc.

And of course.. Doing interviews helps to :D

> we cannot manually fix some minor mistakes of ours when creating resources because that'll mess up terraform

In my opinion if you're doing manual fixes you're doing it wrong. Let's say you do your manual fix in your Dev environment. Do you remember to do it in Prod/whatever other environments you have? Are you sure you did the EXACT same thing? Did you change 5 other things trying to fix it first?

You end up with so many different deployment environments that are unique 'snowflakes', and when something breaks in one it might not affect the others cause they're in totally different states.

It's a nightmare.

In my opinion, infrastructure as code is the only way to do it in a serious environment.

> I have a docker container. I deploy them on vm. I use load balancer to split traffic. Could you please walk me through what problem Kubernetes would solve here?

What happens when your VM dies? Kubernetes would automatically bring it back up. It has health checks, and knows when containers die/crash.

What happens when you need another docker container due to traffic? Again, Kubernetes fixes situations like this. Kubernetes has a lot of built in support around scaling etc.

Also, what if your docker container doesn't need a whole VM? Say you've got 5 different docker containers (which all scale independently), and lets say 3 VMs. Kubernetes will distribute them across those VMs based on there resource needs.

There's a lot more, but that's kind of what I think of when you say 'Orchestration of containers'.

>> Toronto was ranked as the 98th most expensive city in the world; not even in the top 50.

So, I'm not going to look into different methodologies that are used, but Toronto is often ranked near the top of least affordable cities.

Chinese characters (In Japan they referred to as Kanji), are ideographic rather than phonetic.

This means they represent an idea (or concept?) instead of a sound. The meaning is completely divorced from the pronunciation. In Japanese each character usually has at least two 'readings' for pronunciation onyomi (chinese-origin reading) and kunyomi (Japanese reading).

But often have even more than that, and specifically with peoples names the readings some times feel completely arbitrary.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanji#Readings

Basically, there are multiple ways to get the same 'sound' from different kanji, or get a different 'sound' the same kanji.

>Good luck to the next person that goes spelunking on the internet for help on those issues.

Reminds me of: https://xkcd.com/979/

Slightly different perspective, but while I lived in Japan I did the JLPT as a native English speaker.

Among my friends: Koreans have no problem with Japanese grammar, struggled with writing/reading. Chinese no problem with reading/writing, struggled with grammar. English speakers.. struggled with everything but pronunciation hah.

As per Chinese characters. There are a lot of subtle differences: 'Traditional Chinese' is the original. 'Simplified Chinese' was done by the Communist party, is the standard in Mainland China. With notable exceptions in Hong Kong and Taiwan

For Japanese, there was simplifications in the 50's:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjitai

But for the most part they're pretty similar to the Traditional (closer to traditional than simplified)

I'm not super familiar with Hanja(korean), but I assume they are the equivalent of 'Traditional' Chinese.

Then you also get into subtle drifts in meaning. My favourite was:

手紙 The characters mean 'hand' and 'paper' respectively.

In Japanese, it means 'Letter'

In Chinese it means 'Toilet paper'

I've tried the 温泉卵 onsen tamago(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onsen_tamago). The one I had was kind of over cooked and had a sulfur taste. Wasn't great.

In Iceland they also use the hotsprings to cook bread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vz-7iUw8Sl0

> A better way forward might have been to keep existing features for everyone, but add a number of useful new features for paying subscribers.

I completely agree here. I think removing features to paid will always leave many users upset.

If you don't have a good monetization plan from the beginning, then I think the safer approach is to put new features under paid and make that the value add.

But making your product worse, and making users pay to just get back to what it was? ugh.

Also I think this will hurt them more than the expect, as they kind of are a social media platform and removing the free 'social' part will drive away a lot of users that might have considered paying at some point.

I'm pretty sure there is a woody harrelson gif for that

My current position is involved in Supply Chain, and this hits the nail on the head. There are so many different departments with fragmented knowledge of the supply chain that isn't shared or sometimes even documented. One of the senior people trying to fix this specifically mentioned Walmart as an example of having their supply chain being a competitive advantage because they focused on it so much. I think Apple was also one of the ones we discussed.

I completely disagree. Many language learning tasks are just memorization. English spelling or grammar for example. There aren't rules, you just have to memorize it.

>It just sticks in your brain

yeah, that's how I feel with flashcards/anki. After doing it a bunch, it's just there in your brain.

>When learning to ride a bike You don’t memorize when to move your legs.

I mean, isn't that exactly what muscle memory is? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_memory

haha yeah, I was thinking that on the slidable images of 'conventional led' vs 'the wall'.

I'm on a conventional led, how can I actually see what the wall version is like?
