If you are operating at a scale small enough where a single person is responsible for applying Terraform, and there are never two or more users interleaving applies which could collide, then you don't need TF cloud. If on the other han

Reading that story, I feel like you were sabotaged at every step by a CTO that was so insecure that they were afraid to succeed, and would rather fail on their own terms. You might have been able to improve some small aspect of the mobile d

It's not a mere allegation, they lost a similar suit about hispanic employees, and had a HUGE settlement ruling against them: https://www.eeoc.gov/newsroom/eeoc-and-b-h-reach-43-million-... They've been prove

I think I see where you're going here, but it's dangerously ambiguous. People will believe feelings if they can't figure out the truth, sure, but that doesn't mean we have to tolerate fantasy over fact, and we shouldn&#x

In this case, your competitors DO have your best interests in mind. They have to understand that they are next on the list of troll targets, since they are offering a product that likely uses similar technologies.

Adding an extra 9 billion in trading would be 30% of daily volume, and might push the price down a bit... But since about 30 billion changes hands every day, you might even get close to that out in real (or "real" for the BTC zeal

I've been stumbling through writing a pile of secure software development lifecycle management and disclosure practices documentation all evening, and desperately needed a bit of levity. This post delivered. Thank you. Also, I am still

I'm not trying to start a flame-war, or accuse you of being a luddite. I was just saying that you were: maligning disc brakes, and didn't like change. The post you replied to was about change for change's (and profit's)

by Rantenki 5y ago
This is easy to objectively disprove. Disc brakes offer better braking power, don't wear as quickly, and don't fade on long hills. They also keep the braking and structural parts of the wheel independent, so a dented rim doesn&#x2

OK? If somebody else does something ethically dubious, does that make all ethically dubious behaviours acceptable somehow? How does a totally separate instance of ethical misconduct impact this situation?

IANAL, but... ethically (I am not stating a legal opinion), you're just linking to a public URL, which doesn't feel that awful to me. They should really have a login on anything they want to gate access to. As for the legal warnin

Really honestly shocked that I got down-voted on this. Is it really not cool to wish that developers would get compensated for their time if their work is valuable? I understand that the developer chose the license and distribution model, b

Is this related to: https://a16z.com/2014/02/06/why-i-did-not-go-to-jail/ ? The description sounds too similar to be a coincident. Not saying it's the same person, but the same pattern that's d

It's a nice story, and hopefully this leads to some useful therapy, but it's a sample size of _one_ person. There is no proof that the covid infection triggered remission, although it's a valid _hypothesis_.

They are perfect world actual hours that don't include any unexpected downtime, or any ancillary costs outside of racking.

by Rantenki 6y ago
Read those figures again. They're such an underestimate as to be laughable, and apply only to the physical racking efforts. There is no way in the world that the only effort taken related to infrastructure is entirely encapsulated in ~

I have extensive infrastructure running across 3 separate org accounts for blast radius, with multiple separate VPCs per org, RDS databases across multiple AZs, and a large variety of instances. Everything is built up and torn down via Terr

That's definitely true. It still makes sense to run your own AI/ML servers on-prem if you're saturating some $20k/each GPU boxes, for example. But ... most web applications are still IO bound, and labour is surprisingly

by Rantenki 6y ago
That's false equivalence. If your instance dies, you don't need to drive over to the colo, plug into a KVM, diagnose, and then pull and re-rack a new server. They do all that stuff, and it's worth the $$$. Also, you'll n

TIL: AWS is only expensive if your time has no value. Article neglected to add the cost of labour for setup (edit: aside of racking), maintenance (security updates on infrastructure, etc), and disaster response. It also missed the cost of d

I didn't mean to be ambiguous. There is NO excuse for this behaviour, and it's maddening to me that any executive would engage in this kind of activity. My point was that the team may have been built explicitly to perform illegal

You seem to be making the assumption that this activity was _not_ their job, and that they were acting badly independently. Based on the possibility that the initial call to action may reach all the way up to the C-level executives (Two unn
