True enough, but the likelihood that the person calling another person a Nazi is correct about the other person is so low that it’s much more likely they’re wrong rather than right. (This is true just statistically speaking.)

Absolutes are not usually very compelling nor very interesting, just as high improbabilities are usually neither compelling nor interesting.

Adversarial review is a thing, but it’s not the thing. Slop begets slop.

That was my read as well:

> ...the site had gone through a long approval process, which required public notices and public-comment periods. However, when Gilroy resident Rosa Rodriguez wanted to state her concern about the damage a data center can do to a region suffering from drought, she was told that the comment period had already lapsed in 2024

Is the "circumvention" the headline refers to that public commentary periods are time-boxed? But how could they not be time-boxed?

In fairness to the residents, the negative implications of data centers was probably not well known to them in 2024, but it seems to me that (at least based on the article) all the processes & rules were followed.

Note that Andrew's since removed the “outright fabrication” bit from his post. No indication of the edit itself though, which is a choice.

I'd say "use it as your database if you know your access patterns make it suitable/well-suited for its use as your database". Even then it will probably not be your only database — if it's part of your MSA/SOA.

I would not build in DynamoDB if you suspect your access patterns will drastically change over the lifetime of the application (or if you intend to, e.g., plan to build a data warehouse or something crazy with it).

Do you have any stats on the latter?

Storing them in UTC is valid here also, but their IANA time zone string should also be stored ‘somewhere’.

Weird comment. I have three or four Apple devices at the moment and I don’t pay Apple a subscription fee for anything, let alone pay-per-use fees.

I posted (about three years ago now) in a Who Wants to be Hired thread. Admittedly, it was kind of on a whim, since I’d just left a job in operations after feeling burnt out, and thought I might dip my toes in the water of software dev full-time. I was contacted by four or five companies, I interviewed with three, and landed a gig with the company I’m still with currently.

For what was a two sentence post I made thinking it wouldn’t really amount to anything, it turned out to be one of the best moves I’ve made. (For both parties, I’d say.)

Who’s to say he’s necessarily right? The third approach (or pieces from it) could actually be the right one, even if he doesn’t know it.

If you’re referring to game dev specifically, there have been (and continue to be) concerns around the weight of C++ exception handling, which is deeply-embedded in the STL. This proliferated in libraries like the EASTL. C++ itself however is intended to have as many zero-cost abstractions as possible/reasonable.

The cost of exception handling is less of a concern these days though.

I’d be curious to know why you’d say that.

Which advertisers have been scamming us? And does that subset encompass everyone who advertises on YouTube?

It seems a bit naive, given his list of business successes, to think that the positive things that happen at these companies under his leadership only happen because his employees overcame him as the obstacle to success.

I can understand not liking his politics or what have you, but logically speaking, what you’re suggesting doesn’t make any sense.

I didn’t make an argument; I posed a question to the parent.
