It's not useful because it provides empty universally accepted statements (i.e. you don't have to actually have any managerial experience to come up with this list) with no examples of what each means in the context of a relationship with a direct report.
he was criticizing the idea of pull requests. You could spend a lot of time adding code and submit a pull request and the maintainer of the project gets to decide whether they want your code or not. If they don’t, then you just wasted all your time.
I've been using this, but it seems to break any sites that use facebook login, so it's pretty annoying to have to disable the extension whenever I need to login to a site that only has facebook login.
Facebook Container dev here. It breaks those sites because the extension blocks all Facebook resources (and tracking) from loading on non-Facebook sites.
To use Facebook login on a site, you'll need to add the website to the Facebook Container. Follow the directions from the docs[1]. This will stop you from having to turn the extension on and off entirely.
Edit, because meh: I'm making no claims about go itself. No idea what makes you think that's what I'm saying, since I'm clearly talking about a library, and not even any stdlibs. "Magic" is just a term useful for describing systems that sweep much of their abstractions under the carpet in a way that probably has gotchas. Granted, the term itself is magical.
In terms of fixing the problem, I knew for a fact that the keepalives that I was seeing were nothing like what I've seen in the past, at many companies, across Oracle, postgres, and MySQL, all who've implemented "SELECT 1" for the sake keep alives, by devs who've been in the field for much longer than me. The suggestion was by no means blind, unless you consider implementing a widely used method for this exact purpose, "blind". Had I gone a different route in fixing the problem within the stable, existing system, it would have likely broken many of the other database connections by many teams. I'll pass on that, since frankly, even ignoring the risk of such a change, the dev should have done the investigation themselves.
Your post was unnecessarily aggressive and seems to come from me having struck a nerve somehow.
Genuinely hoping you're doing alright. Peace.
I presume they took it as an attack on Go. Truth is, it's an attack on the library developer who themselves may have found their keep-alive solution by stumbling blindly on it.
I have no affection towards go or any language. They're just tools. You sounded elitist calling something magic and pointing out someone's age as part of your point. And your passive aggressiveness to my response is proof of it. I "genuinely" hope you're doing alright too.
Airbnb is a shitty company. Last october we traveled to Seoul and couldn't find the location of the apartment we booked. Even the local taxi driver couldn't find it after circling the area for ~30 minutes. We called the host during the entire 30 minutes and didn't get through to them.
After about 1 hour of time, we decided to call it quits and go book a hotel because it was 10pm at night and our kids needed to sleep. We were just hoping for a refund with Airbnb. What's their policy? "it's up to the host to decide if they want to give a refund". What did the host say? "i have great reviews and i haven't heard of anyone not being able to find the place." What about the fact that you didn't answer your calls? WTF
Similar situation when we booked a place in Tokyo. We asked the host whether it would be okay since we have two young children who are known to be playful/wild/loud. He assured it was okay and assured us the place was big enough to handle all four of us. We arrive in tokyo and and the place is tiny. The bathroom is literally a 3x3 box with a shower right on top of the toilet. The entire room is taken up by 2 beds with no place to move around, let alone space for luggage and two kids. On top of that, the host's apartment is in a building where the walls are paper thin and the neighbors are super sensitive to noise. We did the hosts' neighbors a favor and went and got a hotel room. Refund from airbnb? Maybe a partial refund? NOPE.
Seriously, I'm never booking anything on airbnb again.
You're basically conflating different expectations in living conditions to being dishonest reviews.
Your example of Tokyo feels absolutely tone deaf to me as someone who has been there multiple times. That's just the reality of the Tokyo rent market. The places are tiny and that's how the culture is there.
Not my first rodeo in Tokyo in an Airbnb dude, and I’m not conflating shit. I’ve had good experiences in Tokyo Airbnb as well as in Hong Kong and Taipei where space is just as limited. My frustration is with the host where we clearly asked up front before booking whether this would be a good place for my family. And the pics were definitely not representative of the actual space.
I friend of mine had her host cancel a couple of days before her several-day Christmas trip. Of course everything else was crazy expensive by then so she ended up missing Christmas. Airbnb refunded her $16.
The host is probably listing the suite on multiple listing sites (Or even just with multiple listings on AirBnB), for different prices. When someone books the more expensive listing, they tell the person who booked the cheaper one to pound sand.
Everything in Tokyo is tiny. My dad, my wife and I stayed at a reasonably nice hotel there ($250/night) and the situation was basically how you're describing your Airbnb -- bedroom that's completely taken up by the beds, and a bathroom you can barely turn around in.
Kyoto, Hiroshima, etc. are a different story. But Tokyo is pretty much the most cramped place I've ever visited, both indoors and out.
I find it a bit naive to take small children along with you into unknown situations like that. I question your judgement after repeating the mistake. I think Airbnb floats on questionable judgement and people are starting to catch on.
Eh, we AirBnB'd a place for our anniversary when our kid was 4 months old. It was his first night away from home, so we were a little nervous, particularly since he was a pretty noisy baby and had yet to sleep through the night. We only went an hour away so we could bail and come home if it was a disaster.
He ended up having a blast. The hosts had two pre-school age kids, and he was fascinated watching them ride their bikes around the courtyard. He was quiet enough that the hosts didn't even notice him, and he slept through the night for the first time.
Kids are pretty resilient, and if you never stretch into the unknown, you never find out what you can do. We've taken him on another (international this time) AirBnB trip, when he was 16 months, and he had a blast again. Though he did give us a minor heart attack when he woke up from his nap, evaded the baby monitor we'd set up, climbed off the bed, walked across the basement, and ascended a full flight of stairs by himself, only making his presence known by scratching at the kitchen/stair door.
Our kids have been all over the world and enjoy traveling. It’s a bit naive to think every child is the same. I question your judgment regarding other people’s parenting.
It’s not about the children’s capacity to adjust. They always do. That’s what kids do.
I am talking about taking children into an insecure situation in a foreign country to the point where you have to scramble to find housing for the night.
That said, I have a friend who’s mom had a need to travel frequently when she was young. She’s been all over the world. When I asked her whether it was worth it for her her, she said that it wasn’t. She just wanted to be home sometimes. She just wanted her mom to be happy so she went along, smiling.
> I assume you were in Seoul for more than 1 day. What stopped you from going to the AirBnB starting the 2nd night? Not answering the call is no proof but I would have insisted to at least see the room I freaking paid for.
Once the person you're transacting with ripped you off, why on Earth would you try to keep engaging with them?
I mean, maybe if you want to waste your time on vacation, by all means, go ahead. I imagine most other travelers have better shit to do.
Or...if it was important enough to you that losing it hurts, then maybe pay attention to your emails and don't let things expire and pay your shit on time. And of course, a sane person would backup anything important.
Yep, and that is something I have since instituted since taking the reigns. Still... DO could turn this lemon of a situation into lemonade by increasing revenue and preventing unnecessary headache for their customers.
Ok, lets say I store all my backups at AWS, Google and Azure.
My credit card expires and all backups are gone. What's the point of additional backups in this scenario?
...and that was also in Russia.
