I've only read up to Part Two so far but find the guide is extremely helpful and resonates with other resources (i.e Grokking the System Design Interview) and with my own experienc…

I haven't used Heroku's free product plan myself, but I personally use Fly for my personal blog and website and thoroughly enjoy its pain free deployment process. They also have bu…

It definitely won't happen in Toronto, seeing as John Tory was, and still is, in bed with Rogers. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/john-a-tory-a-...

Understood. I had question: This is what we can only perceive through internet/routing table entries right? Internal to FB, we don't know what had caused issues that led to the BGP…

> configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues This could be anything, potentially. I'm not very knowledgeab…

I find it extremely ironic that the game touches upon themes of corporate greed and climbing the corporate ladder (I've only played it until I got a soft lock during the 3rd tutori…

This sounds great on paper! I'm curious - how does your data consider racial biases when it comes to mental health? Additionally, does your data take in consideration social determ…

This is the exact same thing they said they wouldn't do, and now they're doing it. This is very unfortunate. I'm not liking how the future is looking here. Fired a bunch of people,…

18 is great. This concept itself, is not new. I'd love to see US cities with notorious transit systems (i.e New York City) implement this. In Toronto, Canada, where I live, allow a…

out of curiosity, how were you approached to tackle this problem for the gov't? can you introduce me to someone? i'm working on this currently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9xF…

I genuinely laughed at this - I thought the same thing! If you ever downloaded your own account data, I think OP and other concerned posters would understand how much data companie…

Great questions! What's the underlying algo/impl used for this? According to the release notes it uses a DTopic data structure. While interesting, I'm not really sure if this is a …

Here's another reason why YAML is bad: the fact that I have to read the spec to figure out what's going on. It should have been fairly simple to do this. Why do I have to know the …

You're partially kidding but you're 100% right. Someone in another thread mentioned using some LISP or LISP-like language to solve this problem. Would something like TOML make thin…

I'm having some arguments with other developers (devs) on whether or not this is important. I'm gonna finally try to implement this for my own pipeline this week, hopefully. I woul…

I occasionally do - and there are times where I do get a response back. I'm considering registering myself as a lobbyist so that I can have more of a face to face contact with coun…

Canadian here. Not sure how there is no government oversight for handling of sensitive data in the first place. I get that we have a "Privacy Commissioner of Canada". But this sort…

That's a pretty general statement, one that I would avoid without proof or evidence.

What company do you work for? That sounds awesome.

Even looking at comparative offerings from different providers, they're really lackluster [1], and in some cases, even more expensive [2]. What could be contributing to those large…

+1 on the sync and async discussions. This is super important, not just at work but every day life. I find that sometimes I don't want to text someone when I'm having a passionate …
