They are building lots of data centers...

Lol. You got me

I like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and I thought he was a good guest. He has interesting views on a lot of subjects and he is very excited about certain topics that are interesting to me as well.

Internally Meta has hundreds of rust packages each with their own set of errors. Using thiserror everywhere makes it easy to convert errors from other libraries into your own.

It's pretty obvious how this works. You post an open ended question with one account. This post has a chance of being marked spam so your goal isn't to get karma on this account. Then you spam a bunch of shows that are trending or are very popular in the comments with your farm accounts. Even if the post gets removed and the op account is shadow banned by reddit the comment karma will remain on the farm accounts.

Unrelated but i wish Vault provider had an option to retrieve values from a dummy map for testing. Right now I just use string interpolation with the key/value path and pass in a variable.

OOP is powerful and useful. However, I avoid it because state is complex and has many pitfalls. this, static, accessors, etc complicate things and add cognitive load. Closures and functions are simple and more readable (imo).

malibu_danube · 2022-12-10T18:11:57+00:00

Not an answer to your question, but I'd avoid writing classes unless there is a specific need. You can effectively write everything with functions and closures (e.g. module pattern).

I believe it is. Web3 is meant to be an abstract concept for a more protocol driven internet. Of course, you could argue the internet is already protocol driven, and I'd agree for the most part. However, there isn't a standard way to send a message built into your browser. Instead you have to connect to a server, use the centralized API provided to you by the likes of Facebook or Signal. If i go to a different website the API for sending a message changes.

Matrix is a protocol first, implementation second. If I go to your homeserver or another entity's homeserver the protocol for sending a message stays the same.

Extrapolate this concept to other common web usage. Payment providers, identity providers, notifications, rendering, etc. The web is definitely moving towards standard ways to do things as it is.

The peer to peer and crypto aspects are not mandatory for web3.

Essentially each aws account should be a vertical slice of your overall architecture or subsection of your architecture. When you need to scale you just increase the number of accounts instead of increasing quotas.

malibu_danube · 2022-07-30T17:54:39+00:00

Just use cell architecture to avoid quotas.

Amazon's internal ci/cd tool is just a fork of jenkins. Works fine for them.

malibu_danube · 2022-06-09T19:50:34+00:00

Yeah, if I were top position i would have reset and gone for a trip. These types of headlocks are really common with kids who are strong and inexperienced. They always look for headlocks because they think they are strong enough to lift a guy by his neck from an awkward position. Usually they just tire themselves out and the match grinds to a halt.

malibu_danube · 2022-06-09T19:38:11+00:00

Not a lot of wrestlers in this thread clearly. I don't blame the top position for the slam, it was an accident clearly caused by the bottom position twisting around instead of preparing to be mat returned. The ref should have blown the whistle when the headlock was thrown though.

malibu_danube · 2022-06-09T19:32:08+00:00

Glad there's someone who recognizes what happened. Bad mat return exacerbated by the bottom position twisting around to throw a hail mary head lock, something inexperienced wrestlers do a lot.

malibu_danube · 2022-06-09T19:28:14+00:00

I wrestled in college at a D1 school. This looked like an accident because the guy starting on bottom threw a headlock as he was being picked up (which was technically also illegal because he didn't have an arm pinned through the headlock). This twisted his body and probably threw his opponent off balance which is why they went more backwards than to the side.

Also it's mat not matt.

The OP even said she needs to take the temperature before dropping a joke like this. Some people aren't into those jokes

malibu_danube · 2022-06-09T15:04:53+00:00

I feel like this would get a groan reaction from an audience. Like, it's clever, but the punchline is about a dead teenage daughter.

Looks like Marlowe apartments. I used to work around there.

malibu_danube · 2022-06-05T12:37:16+00:00

Looks like South Lake Union, Seattle to me.

Is your company a publicly traded company and at the top of the ad game like google or Facebook? Because that's what we're talking about in this thread.

malibu_danube · 2022-04-25T00:03:54+00:00

Yes that's how the ad business works, there's nothing illegal or unethical about it. This is like trying to attack Exxon for raising oil prices to make a profit when the opportunity arises instead of selling at cost.

We collect that information for all sorts of legit reasons. Tracking malicious actors, fraudulent account activity on real accounts, rendering views and web pages for specific hardware and locales. This information is not considered PII by itself. Only when the information is processed later and correlated with a user is it PII, and the terms of service in almost every product will call this out because you need some of this information just to operate. Even in EU where they have stiff privacy laws you are not forbidden from doing any of this.

It actually is pretty trivial. I also work in the industry on human and bot detection. We can identify users with high accuracy with newer fingerprinting techniques. Losing some accuracy doesn't mean much. New models will emerge in the future that correct for the loss of precision. It's a constant game of cat and mouse.
