In my mind a simple unit test should have caught this. Mock out the call to the service that sends the message and verify that it’s been called with the correct message, and cover the possible failure scenarios. That said I hate loosely typed languages lol.

This isn’t the languages fault, it’s the developers.

Maybe the adults are actually just as short as the baby

Well yeah strictly you don’t, but the idea of having a single machine under someone’s desk as a build server managed by one person where you have multiple dev teams fills me with horror! If that one person is off and the build server is down you’re potentially dead in the water for a long time. Fine for small businesses that only have a handful of devs but problematic where you’ve multiple teams.

Bottom line for most business though: As long as the cost makes sense, why bother self-hosting anything. That’s really what it comes down to. A bonus too, as most companies like being able to blame other companies for their problems. Microsoft knows that, and profited greatly with Windows Server/Office/etc. for that very reason.

Yup, exactly this. Why waste resources internally when you can free up your own resources to do more productive work. There’s also going to be some kind of SLA on an enterprise plan where you can get compensation if there’s a service outage that lasts a long time. Can’t really do that if it’s self managed.

I’m talking about in a professional environment. You basically need a team to manage them and have a backlog of updates and fixes and requests from multiple dev teams. If you offload that to something cloud based that pretty much evaporates, apart from providing some shared workflows. And it’s just generally a better experience as a dev team, at least in my experience it has been.

It’s not like internal build servers are 100% reliable, scaleable and cheap though. Personally I’ve found cloud based build tools to be just a better experience as a dev.

I’m pretty sure the EU mandated this feature.

I’d kind of think it would be in their interest to, not because they give a shit about what their end users think, but what their customers (advertisers) think. I’d imagine that advertisers are paying x amount to reach real humans that can spend money, so if it turns out that businesses are paying to advertise to bots then I can’t see them being too happy about that. Not unless they’re upfront with businesses and they tell them that x% of their user base is bots and they’ll only charge them to advertise to real people.

I get it. They want to combat bots and potentially even detect if a person is old enough to use the platform. However Facebook has eroded absolutely any trust that there’s no way I’d give them this. Not that I use Facebook anyway.

Do you remember the good ol’ days in F1 when we had:

“Ok, so what you can see in the logs?”

“Sweetcorn.”

Are there banks that don’t do this or charge? I just assumed these things were the absolute basics of banking and are free for everyone.

Can I run your patched version of docker on docker?

I can totally see the difference. One is in colour and the other is in black & white. Ergo, not a Nazi salute. Got it.

In the UK, unless you’re self employed, you don’t have to do anything at all.

You might just receive a letter saying HMRC either owes you money or you owe them money.

Sky really pisses me off. They have exclusive rights to the F1 in the UK, but you need to pay a fortune for it, as you have to have the base sky package plus sky sports (I think) plus sky sports F1.

Probably comes to over £50/month for something that’s on every other weekend on average, and they still show ads! If there’s a subscription, there shouldn’t be any ads.

The girl is probably absolutetly shitting herself and is full of adrenaline, I think we can forgive that typo lol.

What posseses people to do this? It’s absolutely disgusting.

It’s not just an American thing by the way, I’ve heard shit like this happening here in the UK too. Especially in women’s toilets.

You need to use tags on your resources if you want to get a better breakdown of what your more specific resources are costing you.

You can filter by tags in cost explorer.
