What if my OTP base data is exported to a publically-readable datastore? I could be tricked into exporting the QR codes from Google Authenticator, for example. Though I see that there are significantly better 2FA methods, it does seem like

There is a pretty simple way to query cloudtrail logs with Athena and its a huge improvement over the normal UI.

I thought WW-style was mostly hot desks or hot offices? I was thinking something semi-permanent with additional privacy. Maybe that exists and I’m out of the loop.

I've wondered if there will be emerging business models for medium-sized, amenities-included (AP wiring, coffee, snack service, etc..), short-lease office spaces. Basically for when a company wants to downsize, but also wants to retain

I'd forgotten the bit in here about the storage hierarchy, especially optical disks and immutable storage. I'm finding the modern "big data" stack with blob stores, immutable storage, and neutral formats (Parquet, Avro)

Interesting point. I don't think I have that particular use case, but I can definitely imagine it. I'd think especially with dates in the far future and the timezone offsets are altered between the time of recording and the time v

A built-in timestamp type that stores both the UTC time, the originating timezone IANA name, and the timezone offset. Without loss. "it was 2:01am on November 5th, in America/Los_Angeles and the offset was -7"

Half my job is doing this in reverse by accumulating deltas over streams and materializing the current state in various caching tiers. I'd love this to be native feature in PG, but for any my workloads it would need to support a lower-

I admit to being a little frustrated with systems engineers telling me I should never need shell access to a production system again, that web-based Metrics and Tracing should be enough to debug all problems. I have twenty years of muscle

I'm experimenting with using this VSCode feature to edit code on a Spark master, with the code storage on an EFS volume. So far, this seems to be allowing me to have a local-feeling environment, with a well-factored codebase that I can

I recall this article about the total maintenance costs of a Model X cab with 400k miles. It’s a very interesting look at total cost of ownership over time. https://electrek.co/2020/05/11/tesla-model-x-extreme

Yes. I like that TDD - when I judiciously employ it - makes me think about my interfaces. It’s like a pre-PR that forces me to question whether the intent is clear. It makes me reference guidance from DDD and single-responsibility-ish idiom

Especially true when the services are all stateless. If there isn’t a conway-esque or scaling advantage to decoupling the deployment... don’t. I had a fevered dream the other night where it turned out that the bulk of AWS’s electricity cons

I used a propane grill and it was very, very effective. I removed the grates and (if I recall correctly) rested the pan on the heat deflection sheets. I left all burners on for about 2 1/2 hours. After cooling, the previous coating was

"Parquet files work well, but streaming is a tad more complex (you need to be able to seek to the end of the file to read the metadata before you can stream the contents)" I didn't realize that all the metadata in Parquet was

Markup character and namespaces aside, I think what makes JSON easier to read is that it is more explicit about whether a child object is a singleton or a list, where XML requires you to consult the schema for minOccurs and maxOccurs.
