"Something you have" is generally an improvement over "something you know" for most people's account security. You have to remember where we are starting from - most people ar…

If it doesn't inter-operate, it's not really an alternative. Chrome, Firefox, Edge are all alternative web browsers, you can drop-in replace them when visiting websites. But none of these ca…

Ditto. I grew up in Fairbanks, AK, and it was no big deal. You just put on the appropriate clothing and kept doing your thing.

> Eventually the lunch part was skipped, but it was a helpful way to expose potential culture or tech fit problems that were missed earlier. Maybe it's due to how you wrote it, but this is a b…

Yeah...those are all not the use cases that Enums were intended/designed for. Juse use Python's `dataclass` or similar (`pydantic` is great) and just build the custom data types that you nee…

There are many issues with the use of underline for headings: 1) Constantly fixing them to match the length of the heading, or just suck it up and always use the short form: My Heading ---- …

At first glance, there's a lot of words and not many examples. It's hard to quickly see what's different and special about this version of Markdown, other than "it's a formal …

Those are compiled languages, while Python is an interpreted language. You're comparing apples and oranges. Interpreted languages are quick to develop/quick to learn, and with the support of…

That's because building software & running tests is somewhat standardized, but deploying is very specific to each application's environment (and requires additional credentials, integrat…

If you want to get more into the details about the benefits of CI/CD and other best practices, Accelerate[0] is a great book. It's especially helpful for getting the data and forming the arg…

> when someone is ready to do it That's not automated. CD (however you (re)define it) is about automation and removing people from the loop. As long as you have manual processes, it's not…

You are making multiple assumptions about "legitimate users", which biases against various groups: 1. They have (or are willing to use) an online payment source (credit card, paypal, etc.). …

Palaces are not unique to Russian oligarchs, they're everywhere...here's the newest one, in LA: https://www.msn.com/en-us/lifestyle/home-and-garden/the-worl...…

What's a better analogy?

There is a massive secondary market for cars, and those costs scale much higher than producing a AAA video game, but you don't see car manufacturers blaming used car lots? Perhaps the game's…

They're being lazy, and trying to make an excuse for it. They're self-limiting the effectiveness and thoroughness of their testing because they aren't willing to setup a proper integrat…

You're making a lot of assumptions here that an out-of-country hospital would be of questionable quality and not have medical malpractice laws. Just because other countries medical & legal sy…

Exactly this. People assume I own a private island somewhere because I've been at my publicly-traded company for 20yrs and have the accumulated wealth from all that stock growth. But when the sto…

It's not compulsory, but it's encouraged and the tools have been updated to make it easy to opt-in. It's a good thing for Allies to do, as it normalizes the use of preferred pronouns in…

"Mr Howells bought the bitcoins for almost nothing in 2009" He's lost the currency value of "almost nothing", not millions. Otherwise, I've also "lost millions"…

I do this using Lightsail to run my personal blogs, each blog is running in its own container w/sqlite mounted from a local for persistence (too lazy to do actual Docker volumes). Ditto for Nginx…

Yes, and then they will also need to be more transparent about pricing, and ensure equal access. Good things all around. Sewer used to be a luxury, now it's a utility. Water used to be a luxury, …

It goes even deeper than this. You also need electricity, and the electric utility can cut you off if you they believe what you are doing is illegal or otherwise goes against their TOS. So then you ha…

The coworkers should all be doing the same thing. Only the oncall and their official escalation paths should be expected to be available off-hours.

Psychology is really interesting. "half a decade away" sounds like a really long time, but "5 years away" sounds much shorter. It's an intriguing editorial choice.
