You may find it interesting that recently Malwarebytes was mentioned in relation to 230 of the DMCA which to my mind relates directly to this. They are an AV solution that holds "legitimate" software vendors that operate an above

I was very much a part of this community at the time and engaged in a lot of discussions around this "feature". Part of the issue is that there were degrees of bunny hopping (as in being able to do it extremely well and consistent

IAM is going to be "required" for the root account, though, shutting that away is a good practice. In lieu of IAM you can use federated access from an identity provider like Okta. That will lease a role which can then adopt other

Just as someone who got on the Ruby bandwagon back in the mid 00's there was definitely a feel of Ruby being a "Japanese import language" and at the time for myself, comparing Matz and van Rossom the latter felt like a little

See I am pretty scared of early alcoholism because I've heard all the fun stuff is getting into alcoholism during your late 60's and early 70's. More seriously though, thank you for this comment, it made me smile.

Oh, hey, this is my favorite so far. Can Soylent just be a shitty food choice, full stop? I think yes!

I tried very hard to take the perspective that this guy is irritated but that there might be some substance to his opinion. I couldn't help but constantly think this, though, "Wow, this guy is really mad, and now wants to logicall

I spent the last 2 hours of every work day using VIM, regardless of how much longer it took to work on things. By the end of the week, I could jump into vim after lunch. When I started using ':x' in TextMate I knew it was time to

Anecdotally, this is exactly the sort of thing I have never needed while using vim on a server. Just let me modify content in the word hole...

But it's not interesting to you that the gross majority of people, even people who lean to your opinion, are constructing abstractions in order to reason about the problem? If you consider yourself a pragmatist, you should also conside

This seems to be the thing people ignore, as the Tampa region has a fairly bustling tech scene, and due to proximity with SOCOM at MacDill AFB, more seem to be coming all the time. You could say, "Wow look at all this tech activity, 10

I have done maybe 20 or so interviews in the last 2 years and this is the #1 thing I look for. However, I have still hired people who do not display a talent for continuous rapid learning, that is to say, they will only learn on company t

In this vein, I wish people would ruminate on a topic like, "Senior Engineering: So now what?". When I first wanted to get into engineering, nothing helped or inspired quite like these posts. But, since I have "made it"

I'm not sure you are any less responsible for your own privacy despite the fact that companies like Google as well as others are making it more challenging. The example you mentioned seems easily fixed by using GPG. Granted there may b

I wish you could try to frame your criticism in a more engaging and friendly way. In my opinion, it's exactly this kind of absolutist reasoning that seems to be killing community and conversation. Of course he and many others can adver

Juxtapose this desire against the fact this is in reply to a user named "goatlover" and it's hard not to laugh.

Usually this kind of attitude could be justified even if it was just a shitty anecdote, but with SCSS and LESS in particular I'm afraid you've chosen long lived, bulletproofed software that has tremendous adoption and community. N

For some reason people are caught up in sticker price value versus demand value and try to play this cute game where a car is an investment, or better yet, a tool to be leveraged. Cars are a luxury that we afford and then make excuses as to

As long as all you are concerned about is the difficulty of moving from one point to another (presumably of a minimum distance) you are correct. You probably are not accounting for the overhead of actually owning a properly maintained and i

"Ruby's incessant cuteness" is a first class feature of the language in practical environments, but not of the language itself, in my opinion. While I can knock python for whitespace, and not a whole lot else, I think ruby is

At that rate, the entire software industry is just a facet of an elaborate real estate gamble.

Just, anecdotally, I knew a startup in northwest Arkansas (the walmart region) that won seed funding of about $100,000. They squandered the money relatively quickly, and immediately decided the only way to salvage their business was to head

One time I asked why, since cgroups and the pattern of container based deployment had been popular for a decade before Docker started, that containers are so popular right now. We ultimately decided that someone constructing a really easy t

Just anecdotally, I've had the shittiest experience in recent memory with CoreOS. Their choice of BTRFS bites me pretty much daily whenever logs start writing stack traces for errors. A similar problem happened when Deis chose CephFS f

So, I was personally involved in a HL mod called The Opera, which for some of you who may vaguely remember, is a mod based on the high action shoot 'em up films by John Woo, also known as the Hong Kong Blood Opera genre. The game was t

I'm on board with this kind of thinking. Despite languages and the FLOSS projects around them being passions and/or hobbies for so many professionals, at the end of the day I kind of need to get paid for knowledge and opinion. Thi

I actually do this: I ended up leveraging sprockets to get some environment interpolation (like API locations) and easy preprocessing languages (e.g. coffeescript). Also, by doing this, I don't have to make everything single-page. I
