As someone who just got done putting a bullet in some long-used instances, I both appreciated and needed this laugh. Thanks!

These guys always have the best write-ups. I aspire to write postmortems like they do. In fact, maybe my next context for a ChatGPT query will be “you are a member of of CloudFlare’s public relations team…” All joking aside, it occurred t

The situation you've described has never happened. Out of all the options, it is considered the safest. People forget that the dollar is backed by the ultimate currency - military force.

There are multiple places. For sure other banks. JPM and other “too-big-to-fail” banks received billions of dollars in deposit inflows over the last few days[0]. But for me personally, I’ve been moving cash to US Treasury bonds, and based

Over the last 10 years we've had to replace our furnace twice, and happen to have both gas and a heat pump (a hybrid system). Each time, we had a different contractor do the installation...but both guys told us that they like to run g

In fact, Canon is going after third party lens manufacturers that are blatantly violating its patent [0]. One of the problems Canon has faced recently is a flooding of the market with super cheap lenses (we're talking 50-200 dollars fo

What's scary is that I recognize one of the games being played by the users in the picture - Silpheed.

You’re absolutely right, I’m done preordering games. I didn’t do it much anyway, but nowadays it’s just not worth it. The most recent and egregious example that comes to my mind was the latest Battlefield. My goodness was that a turd, an

5 years of software updates - that's a lol. My wife has had 3 different generations of Pixel phones fail (hardware failure, not dropped or broken by the user). She keeps going back to them though because the camera smokes the competit

I have a relative (now in his 60's) who is a globally renowned network engineer from Silicon Valley. He has many patents, worked on just about every protocol known out there, etc. Truly one of the people who made the internet what it

Same, last tweet from me was in December and I check Twitter daily. My last self-composed tweet is well over 2 years ago.

I second the notion of a minimum 2 week vacation. Over the years I’ve found that 7 days is simply not enough to slip out of the work mindset. I noticed that after 8-10 days I was more relaxed, and after 14 I had basically all but forgotten

I was thinking the same. What we have here is a security nightmare. You have executable code on globally unique URLs with no protective mechanisms in front of it except for the ability to do IAM. Yikes.

In my experience, this most frequently occurs if the company does business with the government (fed, state, or local). In such cases, the "charade" is required by Federal or State law. I agree its absolutely ridiculous, but larg

The 'hup' for me will always be associated with Quake, as I played that for a long time. When I was a youngster in the early 90s, a grade school classmate of mine had a huge computer network at home. His dad worked for the (local

Glad someone mentioned GH Actions. Recent SaaS issues aside, one of the value-props to me with GH Actions is that I can leverage it in a multi-cloud environment if I'm using GitHub for SCM, which my organization is. There are some ot

I would rather have a team of all-FTEs than a mix. But the company wants more contractors because when cost-pressures arise, they can dump them without any thought. In fact this happened during COVID, hundreds of contractors at my firm we

Well, I’m not a preacher, and LinkedIn is brutal. Regarding providing the avenues to full time, that’s sort of the plan. I hope to convert them - if they want to. Some people enjoy being contractors I’ve found, others are just there look

Your comment REALLY resonates with me. When I was fresh out of school, I joined an enterprise software team as a junior engineer. The team was mostly FTEs, but there were 2 or 3 contractors as well - one of whom was extremely talented. I

I'm not knowledgeable on the topic of RPA, but it has always felt to me like RPA was nothing more than a trendy scam. I suppose there must be some value to it under the right circumstances, but how it went down at my last company infl

The workaround is already in use for ad hosting - serve all the content from one domain (or an IP) with services natted behind that, so if you block it, nothing works.

Every time someone posts about a WAF bypass on HN, someone like you comes along and talks about how WAFs are nothing but security theatre. Simply not true. Are they perfect? Absolutely not. I'll simply repost one of my previous com

I agree. We're currently affiliated with Sam's Club (we switch back and forth to maximize the free membership deals). I feel like we never get out of Sam's Club or Costco for less than $100, regardless of what we went for
