At Netflix scale, there most certainly is a service discovery registry where each service registers itself. The registry can be used for other services to find out how to reach each service, what regions those services are deployed in, how many instances of each service there are, what operations that service supports, etc.
The author addresses that comment in an edit - seems like the commenter stretched the truth a bit. Manually cross-posting shouldn't be a suspendable/bannable offense
I rolled my own with docker for a few years and recently made the switch to testcontainers. So far so good - but if you’re in an environment or language where test containers are difficult, rolling your own really it ant to hard. It also keeps you honest with maintaining good migration scripts.
What is testcontainer? Reading the first page I don't understand what benefits it buys me:
> Testcontainers for .NET is a library to support tests with throwaway instances of Docker containers for all compatible .NET Standard versions. The library is built on top of the .NET Docker remote API and provides a lightweight implementation to support your test environment in all circumstances.
Suppose Apple flags some image in iCloud using a hash that was probably sent from the device. Do they currently have the capability to decrypt the image to check if the content is actually illegal before reporting it to the authorities without needing access to the physical device?
(Not trying to make a counter-argument to your comment. I genuinely don't get this part).
Hmm not sure what you mean. The hashes are shipped with iOS, and then (if parental controls are enabled) compared with the hashes computed against the unencrypted data on-device, and displays a warning to the user and their parents.
I'm not sure how the image is displayed on the parents' device - it could be sent from the child's device, or the image used to compute the hash that the child's image matched could be displayed.
Seems counter-productive. "Hey you're clearly miserable and not doing your job properly, so we're gonna make sure that you spend more time on the job being miserable while doing it improperly".
The officer at the polling place I worked Tuesday in Brownsville NYC went out and bought everyone cold water cause the community center was so hot. That was nice of her.
I think a lot of the NYPD are fairly average humans who probably don't really enjoy... tackling people or whatever.
Definitely hear a ton about the one's that do though. And there's some real pricks for sure as we saw during footage of the summer protests and police response.
It's a rule of thumb that roughly 10% of the NYPD receive 99% of the complaints and claims of excessive force. 90% of the NYPD is fine. The issue is that there is no meaningful oversight mechanism to correct the 9% that behave inappropriately sometimes, or the 1% that are serial offenders and are dangerous to the public. Other cops stay silent about it because there's nothing more dangerous to health and career than being a cop that rats out other cops. The civilian oversight board can't even look at records without the permission of the police.
Yeah, I think it's fairly normal to have an officer outside of or at the entrance to a polling location. They're not actually in the room with poll watchers, etc., and certainly nowhere near the private voting booths.
It has never felt inappropriate to me – maybe because I typically vote at a public school, where it's normal to see a crossing guard or public safety officer outside.
It's not normal. In fact there was a police officer from Florida if I recall correctly who was reprimanded for voting in their uniform. It's considered potential voter intimidation to have a police officer standing around at a polling place.
Yes it is normal. They are there to enforce the regulations around no campaigning within a certain distance, and other voting related laws. Plenty of crazies showing up insisting on inspecting ballots and stuff, and poll workers delegate dealing with this to cops.
Is it not? I think police's duty at polling place is to maintain order, nobody shouts, breaks the line, becomes violent, break things, creates chaos. If sny objection, follows the procedure calmly n within law.
They are most of the time near entrance. They are never near anywhere you cast the votes.
Having some security at a polling place feels extremely appropriate. Any private security would run the risk of being partisan. The military would run the risk of having the ruling party order the military to do intimidation. Local police are the right choice.
But aren't police unions partisan in the US? Is a police officer standing outside a polling station representing their union's politics? Must feel so to some people.
Maybe, but at some point, every single human is partisan. Police officers aren't affiliated with a party, officially, so they are at least semi-neutral. And since local police live in the same community, they're incentivized to be civil to their neighbors. Who would want the scandal of doing something nefarious in their own town's polls?
At my polling place (an elementary school gymnasium) the officer was in the entrance/hallway on his phone the entire time. Probably some easy OT for a day of more or less basically being a hall monitor.
Part of being a police officer (perhaps a huge part) is simply being present and visible. This "presence" generally coincides with any large gathering of people.
It seems completely normal to me for a police officer to be there and to have not to have been needed. Sounds like a peaceful event.
I don't think it is helpful to use language like "loitering".
The police are present at high school football games, beaches during the summer, festivals, parades, large town meetings, etc. That isn't "loitering", that is just standard policing.
FWIW, the US has very decentralized policing, which is different than many other countries where the police force operates at the national level. Not sure if that is affecting the way people are thinking about this though.
If you told me the FBI was present at a voting location I would wonder what is going on. Local police officer, nope.
Places where where the police are there to ensure people vote the right way should be concerned. The US (and the other countries where readers of this likely live) doesn't have a history of forcing people to vote "the right way", which in turn means nobody worry's about it. Those (perhaps the majority of people on earth!) who live in a place where how you vote isn't actually something you are sure is your personal choice have reason to be concerned.
The unions do. However the police officers do not do anything about people voting against the union candidates. That is police officers may want you to vote some way, but they still defend your right to vote against them. (at least for now)
Most megalomaniacs I know aren't particularly happy people. I don't think the sudden outbursts of rage that we've come to know from cops are because they're zen inside.
Most officers will be placed on paid leave while they are being investigated for whatever crime they’re accused of. So it’s more like they have their vacation time adjusted to reflect their mandatory vacation.
From an employer's perspective, this is fine because you don't want to lose more paid work hours without any return.
From the employee's perspective, it's a different story of course. The point of vacation is that you can recuperate from work stress and get some energy back, so that you stay healthy and can deliver good work. I doubt very much that this goal can be reached when the reason for your time off work is that you're under investigation. For instance, I don't expect most cops to fly to Vegas to party during such a time.
This is just actual 'unlimited vacation'. Instead of a being a doublespeak name for eliminating vacation time, they actually can take time off at will. Just find someone powerless to take your frustrations out on, sign the union form and pack for the beach.
This is an anecdote - plenty of firms are using Scala in their data engineering stacks and it's a great tool for the job.
While maybe not strictly necessary per se, it's a great way to get a foot in the door, and provides a great way to foster advanced type systems and functional programming (I personally find it to be a really fun language to write in to boot).
Regardless of the source I think the main point folks are missing is that a lot of DE jobs will require you to know Scala so it's a good tool to have if you want to be a DE somewhere.
SQL is also an amazing tool and you should definitely learn if but there are a lot of DE jobs out there with Scala in the "Requirements" section of the job listing. Parts of the industry might be moving away from it, but if you're looking to make a jump into DE I think you're hamstringing yourself by avoiding Scala.
My youtube experience has consisted of about 50% political ads for a while now - would be interesting to see some insights into their total share of the pie.
