I would have to imagine that a massive corporation like Amazon has automatic detection of issues with tier 1 services like search.
TL;DR Modern medicine is over! Get to the zombie apocalypse shelter! Not really though; everything scary in this article is either wrong, exaggerated or both. Ars Technica explains it expertly:…
> While it is technically, theoretically possible that their system is open to the introduction of these biases but does not actually exhibit those biases in the aggregate, it is astoundingly unlikely. We're in…
I took "systematic bias" to have similar meaning to "systematic error" meaning that there is a constant shift on every data point. Admitting the possibility of bias is very different than admitting bias in every single…
Honestly this is more likely due to the actual outcome being too complex for a headline. "Facebook denies systematic bias but admits their current process allows bad actors to apply bias and takes remediating steps"…
The central thesis here is that APIs should be treated like GUIs. Make them as intuitive as possible to minimize brain space waste (ie. memorization of non-transferable, vendor-specific knowledge) Sadly, the post is too…
> Why on earth isn't there just a generic keyboard-shortcut preference where I can control every possible browser action and its associated keyboard shortcut? It turns out this extension does exist. I just used it to…
I'm embarassed to say I haven't even heard of MobaXterm. This is going on my remote-work rig tonight.
That sounds like a scenario for long-form work over a mobile network (eg. on a laptop through a mobile hotspot). Mosh from a laptop is a no-go for me because there's no Windows-based, full-featured terminal emulator…
"Why use this instead of GNU screen?" The low latency features really set this one apart. The smart local echo (it underlines unconfirmed predictions) make it much nicer to use over laggy mobile networks.
I second the asyncio endorsement. I started using Python 3 just to try out asyncio and never went back. It works like a dream.
path=$foo/$bar if [[ $path =~ [[:space:]]*/[[:space:]]* ]]; then echo NOPE else rm -rf $path fi
The title is a bit click-baity and misleading. DevOps isn't dead it's just becoming centralized. The rub seems to be that quality managed services are widely available and affordable enough to obviate the need for…
Home Assistant user here, too. After my house got robbed it was either $1000-$2000 for commercial, cloud-locked systems or Home Assistant with $200 worth of X10 devices and IP cameras. The commercial options couldn't…
Also great is the wow factor when you show off the mobile interface. Material design is a big time crowd pleaser.
TL;DR Man plays a single Civ II game, locked in a 3-way stalemate, for 10 years (2000 in-game years). He asks reddit for advice on ending the stalemate, posting his savegame. Quickly a community forms around it. Fans…
Maybe its a cross product? If we assume "Welcome" is a 2x1 matrix and "11" is shorthand for [1 1]
I've seen this go badly even when the first responders are the ones configuring the alerts. For example those getting paged for slow app response times want DBAs to be paged for slow query performance who in turn want…
If we're being technical the author should have wrote "reaping" not "killing". It's a very different process. The use of quotes is probably an acknowledgement that the term "zombie" is not universal. For example Linux…
Some great ideas here--a lot of them solve problems I've personally had with bash over the past 15 years--but plenty of these feel like solutions in search of problems. I'm tempted to post my own commentary but I'd…
Updated, thanks
Also, this means that the Venti White Chocolate Mocha actually contains less sugar per unit than Coke: 12oz Coke contains 39g sugar[1] -> 39g/12oz = 3.25 g/oz 20oz White Chocolate Mocha contains 55g sugar -> 55g/20oz =…
