This presumes that it will be real humans that have to “take care” of the code later. A lot of the people that are hawking AI, especially in management, are chasing a future where there are no humans, because AI writes…
Electricity and water are things that we don’t mind (or even want) people using less of. The same can’t really be said for Spotify etc.
Airbus A350s had the same issue: https://www.theregister.com/2019/07/25/a350_power_cycle_soft... We’re just going to see more and more issues like this as more and more software is used in applications like this. I…
There never will be an adequate industry-wide certification. There is no universal “good enough” or “when to stop” for security. What constitutes “good enough” is entirely dependent on what you are protecting and who…
None of what you just said about US law is relevant here. Yes, Cloudflare has to abide by international law where it operates. This is established and every company across the globe is subject to it. Cloudflare operates…
If us-east-1 ever suffered a “FULL” data loss, it would be a company-ending event for so many companies that it would practically end society as we know it. OVH’s failure was a single building. That’s the problem with a…
> AWS ProServe never had a RTO mandate Before Covid, no team had an RTO mandate, so ProServe wasn’t really special here. In ProServe you were still expected to be in an office regularly, but it was just understood that…
This undersells the fact that there’s a lot more to infrastructure management than “janitoring”. You and many others may want to just say “here’s my code, ship it”, but there’s also a massive market of people that…
You’re completely off the mark here. I’ve worked at a Big4 company before on reports like this. These reports aren’t paid for by other companies at all. They’re internally funded and done by the internal research teams.…
Can we not do this? Everyone knows that “serverless” doesn’t actually mean there are no servers. It’s not productive to do this “haha gotcha!” trope every time someone uses the serverless term. Serverless refers to the…
> whether I'm managing 100 of the same thing or 1,000 - if I've built proper automation my only additional overhead is replacing failed hardware Hahahah surely this is a joke, right? If it’s so easy and you already had…
Ah, yes, my original comment was a little unclear. I actually wasn’t logging in on new device vs existing device, it was that I had logged in to one device before 9:30est (presumably before the surge began) and just had…
I’ve been a Schwab user for years, and was a TDA user as well before the merger. TDA had just as many issues like this. Don’t let your recency bias fool you. Schwab is overall a great bank and brokerage. Fidelity’s user…
I’m not sure how the inability to login is “more complex”. I clearly state in my comment that logging in wasn’t working.
Both Fidelity and Schwab were fine for me on devices where I was already logged in, but logging into a new device wasn’t working. This seems like a common issue - even if backend systems can take the load, login systems…
> corporate travelers actually do not get the most value/benefit from points travel because corporate travelers already fly on business. Flying on business class is just a given. I’m not sure what your background is,…
My take is that it’s related to the parent commenter’s thoughts on the relative monopoly that Bell had. If you’re a monopoly with no practical competition, sharing your accomplishments gets you good will and has little…
There is an insane amount of innovation happening at Google and Microsoft et al. The amount of investment going into efforts like making data centers more power efficient, making better cooling systems, reducing latency…
The motivation is in the project’s readme, down at the bottom. The tl;dr is that this is for legacy software where you can make HTTP calls to retrieve a secret, but for some reason cannot use the AWS SDK. If you can use…
The extent of the “conversion” required would pretty much just be taking one form of JSON output and transforming it into a different JSON output, which is pretty easy to do in a few lines of Python or a single jq…
The router itself has an internet connection but that doesn’t necessarily mean that all of the other stuff required to actually route traffic or connect other devices is configured (like DHCP). It’d be possible to have…
> But the experience of using a speical-purpose WiFi network is janky on many common devices so I understand not taking that choice. Yea, this is my hunch as well as to why this works this way. Consumers are easily…
Is this actually plaintext, or is this plaintext-inside-HTTPS? The article and source material don’t say. It’s pretty normal for passwords to be “plaintext” inside an HTTPS request. That’s how practically every login to…
Part of this story is a self fulfilling prophecy. If devs like you avoid using Elixir because you’re afraid it isn’t popular enough, then it isn’t going to become more popular!
For fast iteration, our developers build, test and deploy locally using cdk deploy directly into their dev account, no need to wait around for the pipeline to do all those steps. Then when they’re ready, higher…
