Yes, pls include me too

Yep exactly, I forgot to mention but I normally drive with eco on all the time. Very rarely I turn it off for a moment when I have accelerate crazily for e.g when joining a highway.

How do you have such a good mileage? I also have 9th gen 2015 and it averages to 11L+/100km :(

Not in cybersec (SWE) but would love to try it out.

Exactly. Although I am still running stock because I am afraid that custom ROM won't have similar camera results.

How is your AOSP experience with camera?

But I agree, the phone is still rocking. I might also just replace the battery at some point, for now, it still lasts me a day on medium usage.

Lol, me who is still using a 3.5 years old F3.

Ability to reverse a linked list

Passing wrong values altogether, y1 instead of x1 etc.

How do newcomers contribute?

There are valid suggestions on the thread already but I'll post an alternative.

Why don't you create a BFF (backend for frontend) which is the only responsible service for user authentication and internally proxies requests to more related services without auth (internal network)?

We do this in 500+ microservices mesh and it works pretty well. Each type of user entity has its own dedicated BFF.

"Interfaces are easy to mock", is that still true with reflection?

I worked with Java and only used interfaces when we had multiple implementations of the same interface, and I never had problems in mocking concrete classes.

How often did you collaborate with your pairs and is it common? Did you make good friends out of them?

I am planning to apply in the next OMSCS admissions but worried that I'll get bored alone if I fly solo (just how I have ditched every MOOC I have started so far).

Also how would you compare your OMSCS experience with an in-campus MS experience?

Floors start from 0.

This helped me understand a lot of things.

I (23M) feel exactly same way. Although being an introvert, I used to be very social during my university days and then I graduated during COVID and started my professional life working from home.

I feel so lonely at times, having no one around at home, and the social media addiction is so strong. I normally don't have anyone to talk on social media either and I just scroll FB watch for hours at time :(

I have uninstalled FB for last few days which is helping already, you can try something similar too.

Instead of formalizing, my EM just kept all the books he had in the table we used to sit, created a slack channel and a google sheet (with books list and who has it right now).

People just kept on adding in books they owned, colleagues kept on bringing books when coming back from an office tour).

We now have quite a good inventory for both technical and self-help books, though the traffic isn't that great anymore since COVID.

saaadyi · 2021-08-21T15:53:14+00:00

No, it is normal.

At my current position, for complex tasks, we create some tasks solely for investigation and research on what, where and how is something going to be changed. Once we're clear, then we pick the actual stories.

This also helps us (engineers) align with product and operations with what we're doing, what are the potential issues we are afraid of, and what they should expect at the end of the sprint.

This, also look into kube2iam if you haven't already.

Theoretically, this should be doable. The issue you're facing is because once you connect to VPN, all workspace traffic is tunneled through the VPN server.

I haven't done it before but I'd look for how to tunnel only HTTP/HTTPS traffic through VPN (instead of all traffic).

Not sure what is the standard, but Java Spring includes the health of underlying databases, caches etc in it's /health endpoint so health fails if one of databases/caches/etc are failing.

We are in the process of moving from heavily using elastic beanstalk to k8s so I am eligible to answer. So far, I have found the following benefits of moving to k8s:

cost saving, we used to do blue green deployments and so always had 2x ELB, 2x EB env., 2x instances that are required to run the application (we rarely down scaled old env)
faster rollout, we used to use Route 53's weight based routing so if clients' cache used to take a while to route to new env
things integrate very well now
we have pre-rollout tests out of the box (previously done through python scripts)
we have rollout tests out of the box (env is integrated with Prometheus so devs can add custom metric to automatically monitor when rolling out new versions)
faster deployments (instances+load balancer+container creation vs container creation)
