Also a great way to share cookies, avoid CORS, and probably a zillion other complexities that result from running on multiple subdomains.

thought they have moved mail.google.com to google.com/mail a while ago. Tracking would still be possible over 2 domain, but then google would have to do a bit of ETL operations. Guess this will save some more engineering.

How would you react if someone came in and said "there is no real gravity; it's just that the earth loves us very much"? Or "there are no viruses and bacteria; we get sick from bad air and evil spirits"?

That's more or less the level of wrong that deepstack is. The Big 5 Personality Inventory is probably the most robust, reproducible piece of psychological science we've got, and while there might be arguments that it needs more nuance in places, the bare existence of introversion and extraversion as traits is not even slightly in question in the scientific community.

Your feeling that it might not be true—or that I'm "overly confident" in its truth—just doesn't hold up to decades of scientific consensus.

Gravity can be measured more objectively than social science (such as psychology) concept such as introvert/extrovert, which is determined by committees such as DSM IV or maybe now V. Introversion and extraversion are just one thing that is measured within a certain context.

I dislike the introvert/extrovert dichotomy, especially in the oversimplified US interpretation that has now become global. I'm for instance gregarious and outgoing with people I like, even if I might have met them very recently. At the same time, I may have an instinctive dislike/mismatch reaction for someone in the first few minutes of meeting them, and then it's a struggle to go through polite conversation (circumstances might force me to hang in there).

The article is a bit short on how "introverts" can improve their interactions, but it would surely help to not label people inside these limited buckets and push everyone to communicate and interact with others better.

Sounds about right. There is no real introvert or extrovert. Just people who like hanging out with and people we don't. With people whom we like to hangout with we are extrovert, and other then we are introvert.

By the same merit, could also be a lot better than the lazy copywriting they have now.

It would be funny if Apple start to advertise like tabloids and spam emails. Would totally drive all the silicon valley hipster crazy.

Reddit is unprofitable. They're telling investors: give us a dollar today and we'll give you ten dollars in as many years. (Hopefully.)

If interest rates are zero, that's a good deal. If rates are 25%, that $1 will almost get there on its own in a Treasury. A good deal in a low-rate environment is a bad one when rates, the price of money, are high.

I never understood why company like Reddit, which no users give a fuck if it is 50Billion or 250Billion valuations. It is kinda like Craigslist, it provides a benefit to the society as public forum for information sharing. The cost to run it shouldn't be too high. Just keep it running for the purpose of that. Don't get into those MBA talk about making it profitable. There are business that can be profitable. Something like a public forum, should be like digital public utility, kind alike park and public library.

"Sysadmin" got rebranded as "DevOps", because "techsupport" got rebranded as "sysadmin".

glad someone said it. I mean all the CI/CD pipeline are just in the old day *nix/bsd days bash/perl/awk/sed/python/ruby (fill in the blank) scripts. One problem when IT/Software development become more main stream is that everything got another layer of obfuscation especially in corporate cultures and amongst sales and recruiters and managements. Development Operation or pipeline sounds sooo much better bash scripts.

It looks like it's a PostgreSQL extension, and probably not one supported by AWS RDS for PostgreSQL or Aurora PostgreSQL. AWS generally only supports extensions that ship with PostgreSQL (and maybe some limited third-party extensions?). The lists of supported extensions are here:

* https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/PostgreSQLRelea...

* https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraPostgreSQ...

please just run postgresql in EC2, there are many presentation why that is preferred over RDS.

As a contributor, I think it's interesting when comments focus on the language (Python vs Rust) vs the architecture (local vs remote). Inference is embarrassingly parallelizable, with Python Flask or Postgres replicas. I think the interesting thing is that data retrieval costs tend to dominate other costs, and yet are often ignored.

ML algorithms get a lot focus and hype. Data retrieval, not as much.

that is reason many older developer tend to do everything biz logic etc all in db store procedure/functions/view, etc. The cost of getting the data is native, no connection pooling needed, and with V8/python integration in the PG, it is non trivial what language you use. If you are dealing with large amount of data in a db, why not just do everything there. DB like sql has cursor, merge, that makes manipulating large set of data much easier than moving it on to another language environment.

What? Doesn't even make sense. Why would lacking a physical desktop cause developers to make bad software?

deepstack · 3 years ago

Many developers in now and before like to have their own desk/space it helps them think. Getting ride of that space or changing may not be optimal for many developers I've worked with.

Firefox is not what it once was. It ships with many user-hostile settings enabled by default. For example: telemetry, Pocket integration, sponsored shortcuts on the New Tab page, sponsored suggestions in the search bar.

The knobs to turn off each of the 4 things I just listed are found in 4 different places within the UI.

Kinda make sense, since the founder of Mozilla left and went to start Brave. Makes one wonder how the company is really defined by their founders.
