This one reads a little clickbait-y .. all this build up for him to just demonstrate he understands cloud IAM policies? Blend it with a little Linux, Windows, etc. Kind of a let down, thought this article was gonna be super meta :(

Preach it. I feel like you took the words right out of my mouth. I left my last job because I couldn’t keep sitting and listening to the bullshit about how everything had to be built the same, citing “uncle Bob” every.single.day… coerced in

Where you go to school matters very little in the grand scheme of things. The exciting work isn’t at the biggest companies.. tbh it’s at the smallest. Good job though, positivity is what matters as you grow. Keep at it!

How else could you verify the ledger without computational power without the reliance on an authority? This is assuming that we are philosophically considering authority as undesirable for ledgers.. like I get it, proof of work at this poin

Plenty of waste, yes, but distributed authority of history has lots of intrinsic value IMHO, plenty of uses, and I suppose I’m optimistic more will emerge than what’s out there today. Copyright enforcement or decentralized DRM seem like nat

It’s funny because when I think about that, it makes me go, damn, is that the destiny of all speech and interaction between people on the internet? Regardless of our attempts to bring brilliance and added dimension to our existence and soci

It’s irritating to constantly read so many articles devolve into attacks on the blockchain itself, indirectly blaming the proof of work algorithm and the amounts of energy it uses. It’s always the same theme, oh this stuff is silly, oh and

So we have a semi-large organization where our product people are very savvy, but not to a point where they are going to jump with joy having to download a huge tool chain with docker just to grab a SQLite database and fiddle with some anal

it’s possible, kind of a moot point as doing nothing induces a similar level of risk in my experience. Don’t touch your code for two weeks, I guarantee you that ‘npm audit’ will complain about some new issue.

Can’t you like, cache the node_modules folder on CI builds? I dunno, seems gross, unless you’re on a project with minimal deps or very meticulous about which deps you leverage. I am just one of those people who are constantly trying to upgr

I also do this, but be weary of situations where you’re using ephemeral containers and you have to download, scrape, then reupload a bare repo.. Sure, you can use GitHub or Gitlab, but I opted for stashing and archiving into GCS / S3 d

Can’t we just vote on a blockchain? With asymmetrically encrypted transactions? I mean perhaps elections should not be conducted online, but surely the integrity would be improved if governments were to require votes be tallied on a block

Maybe a dumb question, but are they running M1 with the ARM version of Docker & Ruby? I imagine it’s probably difficult to accidentally get the AMD64 version, but I didn’t see that detail in the benchmark

To be honest, I’m pretty familiar with the top VPN providers and I’ve never heard of ExpressVPN. When I Google it, I immediately receive so many explicit ads for your service and a bunch of obviously promoted blog posts comparing garbage VP

You talk about math like it’s poetry … can it really be that artistic of a practice? I suppose that’s how I view writing software.. What is an example of dimensionless numbers?

While the comment wasn’t scoped or composed empathetically towards identifying systematic socioeconomic forces, I don’t think this person deserves your assessment that they doesn’t understand the broken, upsetting world we all live in.

“I’ve never had more energy, and this isn’t about retiring” [imitates Bezos] With that said, I’m out. Don’t call me, I’ll call you. If I don’t show up for a meeting, it’s because I’m paid and gonna do whatever tf I feel like for the rest of

Yes, fake experts are everywhere and draw from the Well without peeling back the layers of abstraction or demonstrating knowledge by putting something back in the Well. This writing seems to me to be an elaborate way of saying this, and it

This is great. I find I often do these things at work (such as second order thinking) but have never attempted to encapsulate it or differentiate from other ways of looking at things. Thank you for sharing.

Hit it right on the head. The localhost thing and coupled with the http thing make me cringe. And to know they went from https://* to just one domain, yikes indeed. Then they left localhost. Hell, that probably made the case wor
