You'd think so. Legacy servers that've been running for ten years really puts a hitch in that.

Systems definitely care, especially in finance and trading systems. Was involved in rolling out a large NTP annealing patch about ten years ago. We missed a couple and the effect was largely overall muted, but we did have one server with an

Please actually just look at any audit log and just search yourself. If you think there's no signal, then you clearly haven't looked. If you're going to continue to be lazy in your analysis, then ask a damn LLM. There are 528

They're matching specific descriptions of cars to incidents, like, "this vehicle has been present at the site of 5 previous package thefts". You're hand-waving a hell of a lot of things away and you expect that e

With a search warrant, I can submit FOIA requests or go to the courthouse. With flock searches, I (usually) can't because Illinois law exempts ALPR records. Here's the most egregious example I've seen: https://www.

Eh, looking around, I think you're thinking of Debian. They re-enabled it by-default back in 2009. So, sure, I guess. But if you're dealing with an OS that's from 2009 these days, whether /dev/tcp is enabled in bash

Once had a coworker tell me to never to use this because "you never know when the customer doesn't have bash installed; use python instead" even though our contract required that the customer had bash. I'm still laughing

An important thing you should recognize: the judicial system is painfully nontransparent in such a way that even figuring this sort of thing takes an extensive amount of time and is often even impossible. I've personally gone down a

Throwing yourself at something that's never been done is fun. But know what's really fun? Taking something that's been done before, has been forgotten about, and can be iterated on with your own spirit. There's so much

Are you asking for articles that show how connected car data is being sold left and right?

The moment my JSON has any sort of depth and I need to write a parser for it and potentially account for unspecified behavior. JSON's nice when it's nice, but it's terrible when it's terrible. It's 100x easier to wr

For folks wanting to answer this question, please ask yourself: Which laws? Where were the cameras installed? Are the fines disproportionate? Are subpoenas necessary to access footage/data? If so/not, who's accessed it? Are t

Sure, but there are some jobs that are so bad that this advice readily applies to. The sort of job that takes you away from your life, family and friends in a way not entirely unlike poverty does. It's good to recognize whether worki

Bows and arrows are still widely used for hunting all over the world. I was able do freelance work on a relatively low income because of access to ~150lbs of deer meat that came from multiple bow-hunted deer.

Presumably it's a system that can be viewed from a phone or from dispatch remotely right? All they'd have to do is share the credentials and that's that.

A weird tradeoff but an increasingly important tradeoff to keep in mind nonetheless. Like I said, updating immediately isn't a perfect answer. But neither is waiting. I hope you're having this discussion, at least.

Worked at an exchange in 2007/2008 and... we had systems still running from the 80s. Mostly tape audit stuff.

That honestly sounds amazing. Imagine booting into something like a grub menu that's just a list of classic games.

No, this is not always the case. Regulated industries pin their package versions and store those versions for pulling.

Friend, considering the supply chain attacks going on these days, automatically updating everything, immediately, probably isn't the perfect move either.

Your question feels insane to me for production environments. Why aren't you doing a version cutoff of your packages and either pulling them from some network/local cache or baking them into your images?
143.
by chaps 6mo ago
Sure, but you're just shifting that cost elsewhere. Not defending the no-code services (they're extremely predatory), just that it's not as simple as cost-vs-no-cost.

These days I think airtable and other "no code" systems fit this bill well.

On the flip side, every single MSSQL instance that I've encountered has been legacy. For at least five years.

Honestly I'm not sure. I think I include them under the same umbrella because how often they work together, plus all the systems integration that they have together.

Someone once dropped some fireworks not too far from me at 3am a few years back. They were loud and, yeah, cops were called. A few minutes later about five cars drive past me about 30mph over the limit. Not sure how they didn't see me

Sigh. Look friend, I really hope you can realize how you sound in your post. You're extraordinarily confidently saying that you refactored some ambiguous endpoints in 30 minutes. Whenever I see someone act that confidently towards re
