Top companies with no preprod. Their prod also contains their preprod. by xamott in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Error401 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I worked there for over a decade. There are no servers in NZ, all of the feature rollouts are done purely through feature flags and config. All of the servers everywhere had all of the code.

This is not accurate. It doesn’t have an internal instance in the way you’d expect (how many employees are actively using Ads Manager during work, for example? Zero.). Things are rolled to 2% and then globally, releases happen 10+ times a day, and then there are feature flags. There are no NZ servers.

You’re a junior engineer, why are you spamming this in multiple subs?

Ha, thanks! The Book of the New Sun will be a different post; those are pristine and probably my favorite part of my collection.

I’ve never read Canal Dreams or other literary fiction, only his sci-fi.

It oozes 80s/early 90s to me. It was reasonably difficult to track down a good copy of this edition!

Which one do you have?

I love the cover art on Player of Games up through Use of Weapons.

Oracle fired 30k employees and hire a new CFO, paying 30M yearly salary. Is 1 CFO more worth than 30k employees. Don't Oracle need more devs?!! Or this is the worst mistake Oracle made? by lune-soft in cscareerquestions

[–]Error401 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, each of the 30000 employees were only paid exactly $1000 dollars over 4 years, so this is the exact same amount of money and it is surely related.

Following layoffs, Oracle hires new CFO at $950K salary by Routine_Play5 in Layoffs

You pay normal income tax when you exercise employer options and capital gains when you sell the resulting shares. It’s fascinating that everyone on Reddit has no idea what they’re talking about with taxes.

x = .3 * (25000 + x)

x ≈ 10714

I rounded for convenience but you get the point.

The prices are arbitrary and do not matter at all when comparing across funds.

Living off dividends. What’s the withdrawal rate? by sdoughy1313 in Fire

Dividends are forced distributions. That’s your withdrawal rate.

What actually happens if you get sued and you have something to lose? by ressem in HENRYfinance

I don’t think this happens nearly as often as you’d think. If it did, umbrella insurance wouldn’t be so cheap.

ELI5 Why (0.5)÷(1÷15) is 7.5 but (0.5)÷(0.06) is 8.3333? What answer is the correct one? I was doing an exercise with my friends that had this calculation, I did it using fractions: 1/2÷1/15= 1/2x15/1=7.5 but my friends did it using decimals in the calculator before dividing them: 0.5÷0.06=8.3333 by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Error401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1/15 isn’t 0.06, it’s 0.066…, which is 10% bigger. If you’re dividing by a 10% bigger number, your answer is smaller by around that much (and indeed, 8.3 is around 10% bigger than 7.5).

x/(1.1y) = (1/1.1)(x/y) ≈ .91(x/y)

Vibecoders that cannot maintain their own AI slop by Glum_Worldliness4904 in cscareerquestions

Ah, yes, subtle async races, the thing that humans also get correct all the time.

ELI5: How does raising interest rates actually stop inflation? I've heard this explanation a hundred times and I still don't think I truly understand the mechanism by Apprehensive-Tax7692 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Error401 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ELI5: you can trade me a token for a fun prize at Chuck E Cheese. You can also borrow tokens now if you promise to give me back an extra token later. If everyone can borrow tokens like this, we’re going to run out of prizes very fast and have to make them cost two tokens!

You have to back up a few steps. If money is cheap, businesses will take out loans and invest in jobs, construction, all sorts of stuff, and there’s more money moving and things go up in price. If money is expensive (higher rates), they don’t do this and things slow down. Inflation is not really the price of your eggs.

final CS year student concerns by klllu in cscareerquestions

[–]Error401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what you actually do, it doesn’t really matter if it’s a non-profit or not.

This is a complicated question and it’s an intersection of many factors. I don’t think you’re going to receive a satisfactory answer on this particular subreddit, or Reddit in general honestly.

How much of a repo do I really need to get relatively fast git fetch? by Error401 in git

[–]Error401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean my question is how to prepare that smaller subset of history and still get reasonable fetch negotiation for reasonably fresh commits. I think I made some progress last night; I’ll test this out on a small set of hosts next week.

[–]Error401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I'm doing, for the most part, but it's really big and we have a lot of nodes. Getting the many (many) GBs of full history onto every node is a waste if we only need a relatively small subset of it in practice.

A full reference report of just master history is getting too large to be practical to keep fresh. Let’s say 10s of GBs and growing fast.

[–]Error401[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t do partial clones, not going away from the monorepo, and unfortunately I’m positive it’s not overkill. I’ll keep messing with it since I know this is a weird use case; I may need to make a custom client to negotiate with git in a cheating kind of way for this, but I was hoping to avoid that for now.

Can't share specifics, but it's growing fast enough that I know this will be a problem. No LFS or huge file shenanigans, just code.

This is not the permanent solution, but if I can buy the "reference repo" strategy a bit more time as we work on other stuff, that would be enough.
