Same. My current company has the same problem, which is that they continually layer additional complexity onto their previous architectural mistakes to try and mitigate them. This results in a complicated system where different independent

The problem with being sidelined like this is that it can drag on and on until it's a resume liability. I'm at a company that's a bad fit right now - I hate it, my boss doesn't know what to do with me, but I was strung a

Cops are too busy making 6 figures directing traffic and hanging out inside their idling SUVs all day to investigate any kind of property crime. I'm sure they would say they just need even more money to buy more guns and then they woul

I took 3 months off and didn't look at a computer when I was burnt out. When I was interviewing for jobs after my break I felt pretty good, but less than a year into my new job I'm right back where I started. I do think it's

The criticism of these sites is also "free speech". Refusing to associate with bigots is "free speech". It's funny how free speech absolutists only seem to care about offensive and harmful speech, and not the rights

It's not that people don't know it's a SPOF. The issue is that if you fail in a way that is common, nobody blames you. Cell phone 2FA is so ubiquitous that when it doesn't work clients wonder if they're the one fuck

k8s is actually very simple as a user. It's complicated to operate it yourself without EKS< GKE, etc. But from an end user perspective you write some delcarative manifests, they get put into an event bus, and then the state of the w

The problem with k8s is the lack of stable interfaces within the codebase. The resources themselves are well-versioned but even though the codebase is split up the individual pieces have dependencies on each other down to specific minor rel

Over a million people in the US died of COVID (officially), and untold more developed permanent injuries as a side effect of being infected. What "cost" are we paying from lockdowns, compared to the cost in lives and lost potentia

Yup. The tech industry is one of the worst reflections of late stage capitalism. In other industries you see people who are disillusioned by growing wealth inequality, and those people are rationally checked out. They know the planet is on

I disagree about the retirement thing - I knew a lot of multi-millionaires from a very successful IPO who kept working for 5+ years afterwards. Even fully vested they had all their friends at work, they had a lot of influence, it was like a

Nope, it's de rigeur for every ecommerce company. Shopify legal gets some BS email from some big corp, and they slap some vague technological solution on it ("flag anything thay says Star Wars"). Then they get a bunch of over

Mens rea is a necessary but not sufficient component of proving a criminal charge - the defendant intended to break the law. Actus reus is also required, which is actually doing the act. US law doesn't "judge by intent". If y

Shopify is the Canadian meme stock. When I worked there everyone I met knew about them, not because of the product, but because the news loved to talk about Canada's one domestic tech success in the last 10 years. During the pandemic

Ugh, masks are not that bad. I literally went to a party and danced until 4AM with my friends in a N95 and it was fine. We only unmasked to do tequila shots. If you're talking about vaccines, I have an all natural colloidal silver supp

Graviton3 on AWS is better for most applications on a cost/performance basis, and in some cases also on straight latency. Honeycomb has some great blogs about it: https://www.honeycomb.io/blog/present-future-arm-aw

He explicitly waived any kind of due diligence, which is when you would normally agree to a price and make a conditional offer. His offer was unconditional.

I would dispute the idea that Air Farce made Tim Hortons popular. Tim Hortons has been a fixture of small town life in southern ontario for as long as i've been alive. They've historically been cheap and cheerful, the go-to place
