They are the same, there is also some functionality for managing firebase auth users in the gcp console.

philly school district schools are 14% white. the school district i went to in the philly burbs is 79% white. philly school district is in a bad place financially. https://www.inqu…

for this specific example, I think the shared library is not the correct approach. Queues work for simple fifo behavior, but in this case they also need fairness (and perhaps other…

Thoughts on a couple of your points: - we don’t need any kind of backwards compatibility, we just update everything. if you don't care about backwards compatibility, then you can s…

depending on how you define transaction, this doesn't seem possible? my approach has been to make all operations idempotent and ensure they are all ran at least once.

I worked on a project which required some medium scale web scraping (less than 100 million pages), and went with node primarily because of puppeteer. The system had a couple dozen …

I think he's making fun of his past self, thinking he knew everything when he was younger.

I agree this can be awkward, especially if you let these constructs propagate through your codebase and database. However, if a string or int can be null, then all strings and ints…

i would suggest bias your implementation against false negatives. They can always come back and update it if it's wrong, and their url could just as easily be "valid" but incorrect…

I think this article misses two important points on siloed qa teams 1. Qa doesn’t know what can be covered by unit or integration tests 2. Since they treat our code like a black bo…

cool, so this is like warby parker's app for renewing prescriptions? that really saved my ass recently, when my glasses broke and I found my prescription was expired. Apparently, t…

how significant is 1 if you are using cloud sql proxy? My understanding is that the proxy tunnels traffic over an encrypted connection, so there is no benefit to adding an extra la…

where would you buy this chocolate? google shopping and amazon don't turn up any results

maybe i did something weird last time i installed ubuntu, but my user is 1001:1002 and the default ubuntu user is 1000:1001

would have been useful for something we ran into at a previous job. For legacy reasons large csv files had been zipped instead of gzipped (or some other streamable format), and wer…

my intuition is you can save cpu time when compressing before sending over the network (and certainly wall time). a quick test copying a 24M file (with similiar compression ratios)…

did you use any kind of message framing? Got bit by this at a previous job where we needed to change the message format to improve compression. Wound up figuring something out, but…

The best use case I've had for partitioning tables is when there is a lot of churn that would otherwise result in significant vacuuming. For example, a table holding the past 7 day…

interesting, how did the spend breakdown between cloud run and firebase? did you have any limit to how many req/s you made to an individual site? It seems this would be difficult t…

I think it was already strongly consistent within regions? like if you had tried to read a non-existent key, then wrote to it, it might continue to appear to not exist for a minute…

would it have been sufficient to alert on high memory usage? It might be reasonable to set an alert on say 70% rss. As long as the pod does not pass this threshold and die before a…

Also this, and maybe this is where social background comes into play. If my parents didn't value education, they wouldn't have moved us to a good school district or taken the time …

It's obvious the SAT does not measure native intelligence independent of education. I attribute my success in the SATs to the excellent teachers I had in high school. I didn't stud…
