That's why I internally push to use Bedrock. If AWS flakes or bans the company account I've got bigger problems. Putting more eggs in the same basket is a counterintuitive solution to the problem of someone else holding my fate

I have 3 modes of redditing in order of importance/frequency: 1. custom fp with many defaults removed, 2. r/all, 3. rarely, but sometimes default fp. I find that it works. r/all is a lot of memes and time wasters, but can b

That's all well and good when it was subs like FPH that were easily ignored. The thing that threatened to chase me off of reddit was the_donald. Not because I was "offended"(the new code word for calling someone a pussy), b

I'm in the middle of the spectrum myself. I'm happy to say hi, shake hands, but I need my alone time. I have plenty of friends and they all get it. I could disappear off the map and be a hermit if that's what I really want

I thrive in the small group office. You get the flow of ideas that are trying to be achieved with the open plan, but without as much of the noise. And it's easier to call out one or two people for being difficult to work with than it

From my personal experience: It's the first thing off the island when my schedule gets pinched. I can't cut back on work, don't want to cut out family or rec time. The MOOC suffers first, particularly the deliverables. I&

In my personal experience there's no way to truly blunt the sting of failure. If I go in optimistic and fail unexpectedly or pessimistically and fail as expected the pain is the same. I don't see the use in torturing myself in t

I'd say that's a much more fair way to go about it. If you're going to ask someone to do work for you, that should be a paying gig, and it should be a task worth doing. If you're looking for a free sample a public repo

The problem with a hardware token security is that it relies on every user having one or not leveraging the security. That's something that can be difficult for an IT department to coordinate across an organization, thus would be herc

I like the prop 8 ruling for the fact that it bars interest groups from fighting constitutionality rulings in the future. This basically eliminates the possibility of 'Citizen's-united-ization' of the court system. Otherwis

I don't have a problem at all with the volume of stories, I just think that we need to honor Snowden's wishes. He explicitly asked that focus remain on the content of his leaks rather than about him personally. Let's talk a

This teacher is as middle America as it comes. I actually went to that school although I had a different teacher for history unfortunately. Some of this is a personality conflict as Mr. Dreyden was always a boat rocking kind of guy. Some
