Yep. And one of the likely outcomes of global warming is an accelerated shift back to such conditions, ironically. None of this stuff is likely today, but it will all inevitably repeat.
comment
One of my favorite such observations is in winter. Arriving at the top of the Mt Hood Express chairlift, soaking in blue sky and white snow, a smell of sulfur is often in the air. The magma chamber of…

This kind of “inevitable uncertainty” is uncomfortable. It will happen, and becomes more likely as time goes on, but it’s unlikely to happen today or tomorrow. It’s possibly catastrophic, but likely …

Basically all consumer security apps?

And, there is software for it that automates sending and getting confirmation the notification has been received and understood. One example: https://www.exterro.com/e-discovery-softwa…

It’s not after an investigation begins, it’s the moment that it’s likely or foreseeable that an legal action may come. Basically, if you think you might be in trouble and you delete stuff, you definit…

I think that is the author's point -- it's a very different set of needs and expectations.
comment
No, it's a job. Sound investment management is just a lot of work, and takes education, training and experience. It isn't about "get rich quick" after some point; it's about …

> There are still some who still don't, but they are dying off. I'm not sure what's more profound with that: the hostility or stupidity. Patience isn't going to win the day her…

Almost unusably so, as I’m trying new letter rapidly.
comment
Indeed. The header reads to me as “the server says this content length will be…” so I have always taken precautions with it. Servers can be wrong as well as malicious.
comment
Absolutely right. My point is just that it isn’t that people couldn’t, but that they can’t. The former meaning that people generally do have the needed skills, the latter meaning they don’t have the o…
comment
I don’t know that it’s really that rare. I look around and I see people with the fiscal responsibility, knowledge and ability to get things done in every quarter.
comment
Agreed. Adding the employee point of view would make this tool an excellent education piece. It’s always a struggle to explain.
comment
Fair, but it's also true that many of the positions eliminated were actually unfilled (paper shuffling). It's so hard to tell the facts from the spin.
comment
Can you explain? Unemployment is still very, very low and there are hundreds of thousand of open positions out there. Not sure about game companies, hence my asking.
comment
Yeah, these days stopping force pushes is a checkbox (default?) in GitHub.
comment
Per IPv6 address? It’s very difficult (impossible?) to even make IPv4 based rate limiting work.
comment
Yep. Very likely they are using API Gateway with Usage Plans, which is a very simple and effective way to do rate limiting and quotas.
comment
> HTTP is an "API" that has no API keys and all the public web servers in the world seem to manage this without any trouble. Um, no. That’s just not true.
comment
Who says they have a SQL DB? This looks to be almost entirely static data, occasionally updated.
comment
If risk isn’t proportional to reward,… well it is almost always. Emerging markets are riskier and more rewarding (when the risk isn’t active), mature markets are less risky and less rewarding (unless …
comment
There is no “right” or “best” way to do this job, right? But kudos for taking a position and articulating it.
comment
It’s not really a brand thing. I’ve never owned a car for less than 200k miles, and a couple for substantially more. Do the maintenance and they last.
comment
I’m not sure who the “we” is in that article. Doesn’t describe many I’ve known.
comment
Yes, I’ve hired for such senior level roles though a job posting or recruiter. I haven’t kept track, but I’d guesstimate that over my career it’s been 1/3 each of promotions, references, and hiri…
comment
Sorry, that was indeed nonspecific, you’re right. The add-on features for VPCs are commingled with the concept for me since they almost always go hand in hand. Internet gateways, transit gateways, EIP…
comment
Not using VPCs (no need without instances/containers/RDS) mean most of the “absurd” costs go away. It’s cheap by any standard.

I’ve been deploying 3xAZs in 3xRegions for a while now (years). The backing store being regional s3 buckets (keeping data in the local compliance region) and DDB with replication (opaque indexing and …
