@IntrusionCM HIF?

@sariel we usually go from 0 users to >5000 users within 2-3 minutes.

The load is expected. This specifically is is operations on our Redis database that we use for caching. Our platform is for conferences, so the majority of the time we have no users, until suddently we have thousands of users simultaneously online for it.

We can sort of scale for it in advance, unless too much is going on at the same time (we're two developers managing the environment + managing other developers + prorgamming).

Spiky load is always fun.

Application wise we use Kubernetes and tend to run with a fairly large overhead, so auto scaling can catch up.

F# did that to me too

@AtuM well, for one you typically only have one role at a large company. At my job I’m lead dev, architect and sysadmin. So I work late nights and weeks too to maintain servers or solve emergency bugs.

In my experience, in large comp ones, everything is so slow, so people don’t need to work as much. And then tend to better follow laws and rules set by unions.

It might be different in other countries or companies, I’m simply talking from personal experience, and what I hear from friends other places.

We have a few people like that too, but we also don’t have time to find other developers to replace them

Microsoft also did that the the first betas of .NET Core 3. And a few years back (way before Flutter), I tried to learn Xamarin, but the automatic project there also created a bunch of errors from the beginning, so you had to debug before being able to even start coding. I gave up on that pretty fast.

Damn a lot of people here are complaining about the “work more than 8 hours” and “occasional work weekend” bullet points 😬 didn’t expect that.

I don’t know if it’s different other places. The jobs I’ve had in the industry, it’s expected to put in the amount of work needed to complete a task, and will occasionally have to work in weekends. I’ve never had overpay for that, however my base salary have been quite high instead.

I thought it was like that most other places - except for large companies.

I mean, it basically only happens during high load such as building, streaming, long running python scripts.

I don’t know if it is CPU related, but that was my guess, as it only happens for CPU intensive tasks. Not even necessarily when utilizing all cores. Today I’ve been running a single core script which without fail causes kernel panic after about 90 iterations (each iteration does a lot of different things)

I thought too it didn’t feel correct. I’d believe more people would’ve written about it online if it actually was a thing.

A CS degree forces you to learn the boring shit you won’t teach yourself, but will need in some way at some point.

You get a fundamental understanding about how things work. A boot camp will get you started coding with high level knowledge. The degree will give you a more solid foundation. When you have to tackle a difficult problem, you might have a better chance of having a clue with the degree.

Or if the high level abstractions you’re using are misbehaving, you might have a better idea of what’s going on, if you have some knowledge about how it works behind the scene.

@tekashi see? My point exactly

I don’t know the complexity of your project specifically, but oftentimes when I choose python for a project, it’s a complex task that is extremely easy to solve with python

10 minutes more: fuck yes it’s already working, glad I chose python!!

@fuckwit bash scripts works fine with zsh.. That’s kind of the point with zsh as opposed to fish

@lxmcf something broke in Catalina? I use zsh on Catalina without any issues

I don’t know if it’s applicable to you, but if you’re a danish citizen, you can register at ereolen.dk for free. It’s the libraries’ site where you can read and/or listen to books.

If not, it might be worth to check out if your libraries in your country have anything similar

I’d give her a warning. A last chance to step up her game. If she doesn’t even try to improve after that, I’d let her go

Or get a girlfriend, she’ll take up a lot of your time as well. At least in my case. It’s difficult to work at home when she’s home. Thus I rarely work anywhere else than at the office

Gaming works for me. I still game with coworkers though

It’s actually a pretty good exercise (for beginners that is). It can be solved in many different ways, and can show off some of the nice features about python

Pornhub can teach you about front end and back end... oh wait...

@rant1ng wasn’t my project. The original developers of the project made a horrible mess

Laravel is really fast to develop in, but it’s a god damn mess to maintain. I loved Laravel before I had to had some functionality to a 3 year old Laravel project. Now I’d rather shoot myself than developing in Laravel again

PWAs won’t grow really big as long they aren’t fully supported on iOS as well.

@varundey just another way to identify who a person is

@varundey I believe it’s google that made an algorithm to identify a person based on their typing habits; their speed, the types of typing mistakes they made, the words they used etc.

The police here does the same. Only internal websites and systems are allowed. Email only available through outlook, which gets configured automatically through the domain controller.

If you need to visit external websites, you can open a browser through a Citrix app (so a web browser on a server).

It’s pretty secure. If an employee accidentally clicks a spam link, you won’t introduce a virus anywhere, as your normal browser can’t access anything. The browser in critrix can’t download anything
