Why do programmers need long periods of silence on the job?
Brilliantly written.

I hate my job (work as a waiter). I am seriously considering quitting in a few weeks, but I want to get a job as a junior developer even though I am not very good at programming. I live in Dallas and am wondering what are the things I must know before applying to a company.6

A couple of years ago, we decide to migrate our customer's data from one data center to another, this is the story of how it goes well.
The product was a Facebook canvas and mobile game with 200M users, that represent approximately 500Gibi of data to move stored in MySQL and Redis. The source was stored in Dallas, and the target was New York.
Because downtime is responsible for preventing users to spend their money on our "free" game, we decide to avoid it as much as possible.
In our MySQL main table (manually sharded 100 tables) , we had a modification TIMESTAMP column. We decide to use it to check if a user needs to be copied on the new database. The rest of the data consist of a savegame stored as gzipped JSON in a LONGBLOB column.
A program in Go has been developed to continuously track if a user's data needs to be copied again everytime progress has been made on its savegame. The process goes like this: First the JSON was unzipped to detect bot users with no progress that we simply drop, then data was exported in a custom binary file with fast compressed data to reduce the size of the file. Next, the exported file was copied using rsync to the new servers, and a second Go program do the import on the new MySQL instances.
The 1st loop takes 1 week to copy; the 2nd takes 1 day; a couple of hours for the 3rd, and so on. At the end, copying the latest versions of all the savegame takes roughly a couple of minutes.
On the Redis side, some data were cache that we knew can be dropped without impacting the user's experience. Others were big bunch of data and we simply SCAN each Redis instances and produces the same kind of custom binary files. The process was fast enough to launch it once during migration. It takes 15 minutes because we were able to parallelise across the 22 instances.
It takes 6 months of meticulous preparation. The D day, the process goes smoothly, but we shutdowns our service for one long hour because of a typo on a domain name.1 -
I'm at DreamHack Dallas, and I just saw a guy at his booth open Unity, fix a bug, and rebuild the game.
No judgment from me brah, I get it,
but it is nice not to be my broken demo for a change.2 -
You know it's officially too hot when a plane from Dallas TX can't land at the Phoenix airport because of heat concerns3

Hello, my name is Donald, and I’d like to share my ordeal with Market Trade com and how I almost lost a significant amount of money. I’m a doctor based in Dallas, and I invested a portion of my pension funds with Market Trade com, hoping to earn passive income while working at my primary job. I also have a 20 year-old daughter, and my wife tragically passed away a few years ago. As a result, I wanted to secure my financial future, and I thought this investment would help me achieve that .At first, everything seemed fine. I saw some returns, which made me feel more confident about my decision. However, things took a drastic turn when I noticed that a substantial portion of my investment—about $32,000 worth of Ethereum (ETH)—seemed to be missing from my account. I had no idea where the funds had gone. After investigating, I realized that the money had been transferred to a series of soft wallets, which made tracking it down almost impossible. The feeling of panic and helplessness that followed is something I’ll never forget. I couldn’t afford to lose such a large amount of money, especially with my responsibilities to my daughter. I had no clue how to recover the funds, and I thought I was at the mercy of Market Trade com, which didn’t seem interested in helping me. In my desperation, I came across a company called Coder Cyber Services. After reading some positive reviews and reaching out to them, I was relieved to find that they specialized in recovering funds from lost or stolen cryptocurrency. They immediately got to work by tracking the wallets where my funds had been transferred, and within a week, they managed to recover nearly all of my $32,000 worth of Ethereum. I was incredibly grateful for Coder Cyber Service's help. They were professional, responsive, and most importantly, they delivered on their promise. If I hadn’t found them, I would have likely lost everything. I want to share my story as a warning to others who might be considering investing with Market Trade com. While some people may have had positive experiences, my situation turned out to be a nightmare. If you’ve already invested with them and are in a similar predicament, I highly recommend contacting Coder Cyber Services. They were a lifesaver for me, and I’m confident they can help others recover their lost funds too. To know more about the company reach them on their email enquiries@coder-cyberservices.info or WhatsApp/Text : +1 (672) 648-1781.

While I was browsing online for some school-related information, I stumbled upon a recommendation for a service called Malice Cyber Recovery. At first, I didn’t think much of it. However, after reading several positive reviews and testimonials from people who had used their services, I decided to reach out. I had been struggling with a problem of my own: I had 2 BTC stuck in my binary options trading account, and no matter what I did, I couldn’t withdraw the funds. I felt completely frustrated and helpless. I had tried everything to resolve the issue on my own, but nothing worked. That's when I decided to give Malice Cyber Recovery a shot, based on all the positive feedback I had seen. I reached out to them, and to my surprise, their team responded almost immediately. They were professional and clearly knew what they were doing. They explained the whole process to me step-by-step, and I felt reassured that I was in good hands. Within just 24 hours of contacting them, I was able to successfully withdraw my 2 BTC. I couldn’t believe how quickly and efficiently they were able to recover the funds I had thought were lost forever. Their team made the entire process smooth, and I was kept updated every step of the way. It was clear that they were experts in handling situations like mine, and they took care of everything with professionalism. I am incredibly grateful to Malice Cyber Recovery for coming through for me when I didn’t know where to turn. They helped me get my funds back in a way that I couldn’t have done on my own. The entire experience was hassle-free, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Interestingly, just the other day, I saw a segment on NBC 5 Dallas, where they mentioned Malice Cyber Recovery. They highlighted how the service had helped people recover their funds from binary brokers, especially those who had trouble withdrawing their money. This news made me even more confident in my decision to reach out to them. If you're having trouble withdrawing funds from your binary options account or are facing similar issues, I highly recommend Malice Cyber Recovery. They really came through for me, and I’m so thankful for their help.
