Yea, the whole “Amazon takes forever to deliver” thing is something I literally _only_ see mentioned on HN, where for some reason it gets repeated a lot. In real life, I can’t even remember the last time it took longer than 2 days to delive

I don’t think there is that implicit assumption. My understanding of the principle is that a person would never get “promoted again”, because their incompetence at their level prevents it. Essentially: if you’re good at a job, you get promo

Ailerons and flaps are, but elevators and rudder that control the yaw and pitch of an aircraft are in the tail. See United Flight 232.

Also safety. Uncontained engine failures shouldn’t ever happen (and maybe happen less as technology gets better), but when they do happen, it’s better for them to be under the wing away from the fuselage rather than right in the path of cri

It isn’t just “corporate liability”, it’s literally illegal in some jurisdictions to retain camera footage for that long. There are significant privacy implications for recording someone at their workplace and deciding on a retention period

An M3 won’t even come close to breaking a sweat doing all of those things. Hell, add in multiple intensive browser tabs, a few large Excel sheets, and VSCode open to a large Rust project with rust-analyzer running and still, the processor w

The article is wrong. The study actually says two liters _per week_ increases risk of irregular heartbeat. 2L/week is much less absurd of an amount: it’s slightly less than 1 can per day.

You’re wasting your employees time by asking them to keep it secret, when you gain absolutely no benefit from keeping it secret (and in fact are introducing an easy failure point by pretending it’s secret) and you have no guarantees that ot

You’re still misunderstanding. I’m not saying you should go “paint a target” on yourself, I’m saying you should assume _someone else is_ going to paint a target on you, and defend yourself accordingly, rather than acting like the lack of a

If an organization considers it sensitive, that implies they’re putting some level of reliance on it being so. Otherwise there would be no point in considering it sensitive. There’s a difference between “making it easier for an attacker” an

If you knew that there was an assassin out there trying to find you and cause you harm, would you consider “I don’t wear a t-shirt with my address on it” to be any form of protection against that assassin? If you want protection against tha

I think we agree, but either your meaning or your words are giving me pause. > you can treat your account ID as non-secret because AWS does. That doesn't directly follow; It does follow, and not only that, but not only “can” you tre

It’s not defense in depth to build your security model off of false assumptions, it’s just bad security.

And those organizations are building their security model off of false assumptions, and are wrong.

No, this is wrong. The fact that AWS does not consider the ID a secret means that your company never should either. If your company “cares” about its ID being secret, then your company is designing its systems in an insecure way. The fact t

AWS account ID is also safe to be public. That said, one thing I could think of that this could be used for is correlation. If you’re running multiple S3 sites from the same AWS account, people would be able to see that they’re hosted by th

AWS Account IDs are not secret and don’t need to be. AWS doesn’t design anything that assumes your account ID is secret, and you shouldn’t either.

They’re a bank that likes to pretend they’re a tech company. In some ways, they’re right: they embrace a lot of “hard tech”, are all-in on things like cloud, and definitely value engineering skills which shows through their well-regarded pr

Education and communication is important. It brings new people into the field, and helps grow those that are already part of the field, both of which are essential to long term growth and progress. Using phrases like “actual contribution” t

100% agree, but I don’t think a work commute will be the deciding factor in that. If I wasn’t commuting, I’d just be logging into work earlier, or maybe waking up later. It’s not like I’d be using the extra 30 minutes each morning to go adv

My commute isn’t your commute, and you can’t make blanket statements like that. My stress level while commuting is basically zero. Tbh the commute makes me less stressed because it’s a nice time to listen to audio books and provides a physi

It’s not so clear cut. If I stay at my RTO job for a few more years, I can probably retire at 35-40, versus taking a pay cut and retiring sometime in my late 50s. I’d say that’s worth the commute.

I think you’re misunderstanding something. There’s no need, and even no possibility, to have “rclone support” on the server, and also no need to “read it all”. rclone uses the features of whatever storage backend you’re using; if you back u

Georgia Tech’s online computer science major lists a preferred qualification of already holding a bachelors in CS, math, computer engineering, or electrical engineering, so I don’t think it’s “tailor made” for people that are looking for a

This is the primary reason most of the MBAs I know did it as well. There are very few socially acceptable ways to pivot your career, and an MBA is one of them. For example I know several people that wanted to pivot into something more softw

I personally found DeVries character to be completely unforgettable in the book and there was nothing specifically he did that couldn’t have been replaced by something else, so I suppose that’s part of why I don’t think mostly omitting him
