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.


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.


This is remarkably reductive. Some people -- including me -- would prefer not to hang out with anyone, including people they ostensibly like. For some, the scope of people with whom they'd be comfortable hanging out is quite low. If we can't call such people introverts, then I don't know why we bother making up words for things at all.


This is absolutely, scientifically, false.

Introversion and extraversion are very robustly defined and proven traits. Maybe you don't understand what they are, or maybe you're one of those people who's not strongly one or the other so it seems to you like "everyone" just has both of those, but there is no real question about whether the traits exist.


> This is absolutely, scientifically, false.

You are overly confident in an unhelpful way here.


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.


>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"?

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.


Almost like it's more of a spectrum than a binary dichotomy :thinkies:


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


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.


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.


Just bash script isn't enough if there's no automated process that run it every time developers make changes to your main/release repository trunk. If you still run it manually to verify your build, then it's not a CI. If you're still doing manual release deployment, then it's not a CD.


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


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.


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.


Lol desktop meaning a physical computer. Engineers still have desks with tops. If anything they have more space than ever since the offices are so empty.


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.


Yes, Brave is much better.

That defaults to Crypto ads, Crypto "sponsored backrounds", Crypto wallet and Brave news.


Literally all of that is opt-in, except for the sponsored new tab page backgrounds, which are one toggle (and a separate one from having other rotating pretty backgrounds delivered at Brave's expense)


what about archive.vn ?


Forgivable for not knowing this if you're using an ad blocker, but archive.today has (commercial) ads on the site.


Archive.sth isn't an organization but a private site thus their finances aren't fully known. Based on that, think it like a GitHub project. If you like its work and can, donate.
