Would that not mean that Shazaam is illegal Germany? From my limited searching it doesn't seem like it is.


Well it's you a person who is recording the music. So it's the user's responsibility to make sure you are not breaking any laws. So the app cannot be held at fault for this. No one cares if you do a Shazam in public so it all just works out.

But if you set up an autonomous recording device, no matter what you say you are doing, you will have problems.


What law is that that's broken here?


Shazam is not illegal in Germany unless I missremember what the app does and instead of being to identify songs based on samples, it's being used to record people


That's what I have been trying to do with the B3ta site[0]. It is a UK humour site forum that was founded in the very early 2000s. I have been looking after it's backend for about five or so years, trying to modernise what I can and keep it stable and maintainable. I have learnt a lot of respect for people who create a site like Spacehey, it quickly spirals in to a job in itself.

b3ta is awesome. It's had a crucial, but mostly unknown, role in Internet culture for two decades.

Thank you for your service :)


Thanks, I only do it for the childish laughs! It crazy how it shaped so much yet only a very specific slice of people know it exists.


The post is saying that it is a people problem. The gist is that efficient or beautiful architecture does not mirror efficient or beautiful management.


> But if there’s a reliable & scalable way for vigorous, systematic management to reward the spontaneous human drive towards efficiency instead of punishing it, I am yet to see it.

This is the gist of the article, it has nothing to do with software architecture


If a service which provides metrics supports multiple tenants wouldn't those metrics at the very least need a label to indicate which tenant the metrics are for?


Why doesn’t it make dimensional sense to average across tenants?


They are a great set of articles. Kevin is a fountain of retro games knowledge and very interesting to talk to, as a bonus.


I can thoroughly recommend the site's author's other pieces. His atomic dissection of UK comedy shows goes much further than you would realistically expect from an individual. Yet at the same time the articles and the writing are interesting and engaging. If you thought that it would be boring to read an exposé of how one doorway was reused in the background of series I, II and X of Red Dwarf and no others then weirdly, you would be wrong.

No difference for me, in frequency or volume.


I think that it would make an illegitimate job posting for example.com look legitimate as LinkedIn scraped it and posted it in LinkedIn's example.com profile page.


You are not able to, or at least should not be able to debug your code in production. More than likely all you will have is your logs.


I've had success with Valerian, it is a quite mild sedative and anti-anxiety root. It's just enough to get over the pre-presentation anxiety and get in to the flow.
