That's not the behaviour I'm seeing, might be a bug on your phone's end.

This post is about private servers using a 3rd party mod called FiveM. How do you expect Rockstar to police them?

Rockstar owns FiveM now

Every flakey test is a production failure that really happens to some users sometimes. How often is just a matter of scale.

A 1 in 10,000 failure can be a daily annoyance for your users even with just 100 daily active users who each make 10 actions on your app. At “internet scale” a 1 in 10k error frustrates a user every few seconds.

If your tests are so flaky that you need SLOs … your poor users …

Not really, the one I’ve seen most often is a shared resource failing - for example a Gitlab Runner not handling a new VM for a DB so tests fail etc

Does anyone know if Onlyfans was rewritten in Elixir when it was acquired?

I sometimes watch/read South Korean SF and this description of Northern SF sounds familiar. Yes, there are often nefarious Americans behind the protagonist's problem. Yes, the plot often makes a hash of logical coherence. I think a study of both northern and southern SF would find there is still a significant shared culture.

Same as Chinese SF, although they also have global collaboration saved by the Chinese people’s honour as a big plot line too.

In fact it’s the same as Chinese martial arts movies too. Anyone seen the Ip Man series?

Same questions here.

This other day I was interviewing with a recruiter for a Go dev position, then she asked "what is a map?", couldn't believe such a basic question was being asked, proceeded to explain, then asked her why such a basic question; she said most applicants couldn't tell her what a map was (shock face).

Next question was "what is a hash table?", even more shock...

I'm a Computer Engineer who started to program when I was 12 in a 286.

I’ve used Project Eulers Problem 001 as an interview filter and more than one senior developer failed it… not surprised they don’t know what a map is too

They built an interpreted language in C over a summer, I think they are beyond “getting into programming” - they’ve clearly been programming for years.

This is seriously impressive. I’m also just about to enter college for software engineering and projects like this make me concerned about how I’m even gonna compete with such skilled peers.
zarroboogs · 2 years ago
If it helps I would absolutely struggle to do this as a dev with 9 years experience. You’ll never totally shake imposter syndrome in a field where you can easily see such excellent projects routinely.

Hasn’t hurt me from finding interesting jobs that pay well!

As a test engineer I can’t not have that username! That’s hilarious - never heard of that before (never used bugzilla)
