These development methodologies all start with a seductive promise of "giving the power back to the developers", then they get hijacked and trojan-horsed by the business people to do the opposite. Hmm ... come to think of it, very

Those reports that have a permanent VAERS number assigned are one-by-one manually verified by contacting and discussing the report with the person that submitted it. VAERS is not an internet comment box.

Firstly these "fact check" websites, including Reuters have become a joke. They clearly have an agenda and many also have conflicts of interest. They pretend that just because they call themselves "fact checkers" it auto

> No one has died getting their immunity from the vaccine Wow. Really? No one? There are 13k+ COVID-19 vaccine related deaths on VAERS alone. Those are ONLY the ones that have been certified and given a permanent VAERS number (as opposed

They lied about masks. It's plain and simple. The science on masks is not exactly new or bleeding edge. You have to be unbelievably naive to accept that "the position changed".

You have a throw away at least mention which one it is!

If you piss off the wrong crowd they're going to drop a small bag with white powder in your photo gallery app if you know what I mean. Along with event logs and all. Good luck!

It's basically similar to re-inventing HTML/CSS. You'd have to re-invent CSS, event handling, layers, layouts, box models, event propagation, hover, mouse-in, mouse-out, etc...

Not to mention how this kind of stuff can be abused. Think about the digital version of the cop that drops a small bag containing a white powder in the back of your car. Good luck proving that it wasn't you.

This is just apologism for blatant and inexcusable censorship. "Misinformation" is the new code word for wrong-think. It's none of their business what "incorrect" information people may or may not choose to consume.

What you're describing is ethical and different. You may be unlikely to accept the offer but you will still consider it.

The ethics of this is very clear cut, it's unethical. It's unethical for a company to interview candidates if they don't have the intention of offering anyone a job. And likewise it's unethical for a candidate to attend

Again you have to ask yourself why are you having such a hard time convincing people to take a so-obviously-safe harmless, and life-saving drug? And if the only answer you arrive at is "well because those people are stupid .. misinform

There are legitimate concerns about the safety of the vaccines. This condescending and belittling attitude towards anyone who expresses any concern about the vaccine safety does not help either. It's the propaganda of the big pharma ma

A CDK-style Terraform seems perfect. Seems a bit early days but I look forward to it gaining traction.

Thank you, and yes in my books that's a horrific hack and too much effort compared to the 5 lines of code I just added to Terraform to get the job done.

I recently had to do a piece of AWS work that required cross-account resources (create certificate in one account with ACM, set DNS entries on Route53 in another account). Not sure about pulumi, but AWS CDK and CloudFormation can't han

Every time someone mentions serverless some smartass feels obligated to mention that "there are servers". Yes we know. It's a specific technical term to refer to category of serverless products like AWS Lambda.

I don't think it's complicated. There's some stigma because you can't comfortably talk about it around the dinner table with grandma and the kids. Not because how popular it may or may not be.

That doesn't seem very different to a client-server setup. If your DB is on a different server and your app is compromised the attacker has similar access to the DB as if it was on the same disk.

I completely agree that it is a 2-way street. > If a person can’t defend their decisions and explain their actions, how can they be trusted? I'm not suggesting that the technical person should be somehow exempt from accountability a

It can have some perks as other comments have mentioned. One thing I want to mention is that there needs to be a high level of trust for it to work well. If they don't trust you enough it will be hell. For example they will not underst

Keep in mind that "cyber attack" can be a cover for other types of attack. It creates this convenient image of "hackers press a button and things blow up" to divert attention away from the reality. I wouldn't be so

I'm personally against the idea because it wrongly assumes that email is some form of guaranteed instant messaging platform. You can end up denying someone access because the email is delayed or never arrives.

If you instantly "escalate" your problem to your teammate without having made an effort it gives the impression that you don't respect their time or concentration. So make an effort first so that when you go to your colleague

Yes. One danger of infrequently-invalidated or never-invalidated data is that it can turn into a ticking time bomb. For example you may introduce a bug in the code path for calculating the fresh value that causes an error. That code may not
