This is a pretty common pattern with disk failures - in my experience they either tend to fail in the first few months, or they make it for the duration.

Incorrect. RSA keys are fine, the ssh-rsa key signature algorithm is not. You can instead use the rsa-sha2-256 signature algorithm with your RSA keys (and you will have been using this for some time if you are running non-ancient openssh).

Historically, some of the big problems of running UDP-based services over the internet are related to source spoofing, used in reflection/amplification attacks etc (looking at you, DNS/NTP), which is possible as very few providers

Yep - this was a somewhat common format for pro-audio hardware in the early 2000s.

At work my primary monitor is 4K @32”. At home my primary monitor is 2650x1600 @30”. Though the 4K monitor is sharper, specifically for the task of writing code, I actually prefer my home monitor.

For anything like text editing, the extra vertical space really does make a difference, even more so in portrait mode. This becomes less noticeable at higher resolutions and larger sizes (e.g 32”+ @4k native).

We currently do nearly a million requests per minute at peak, on a non clustered redis pair for caching and rate limiting (so at least one read/write per request). This design won’t hold up forever, but we’ve got at least a few years h

I can’t speak for how common it is, but in my opinion, it is not unreasonable to ask that developers have at least a reasonable understanding of how the systems that they build actually work, throughout at least the majority of the layers o

This is sadly the state of the current mainstream DevOps "movement". It is no longer anything that could be described as a movement, only as an industry, a set of tools, and a thing a few years back that CTOs in laggard companies

Some of the AWS built-in roles are an absolute car crash, no idea how they got through review (EMR is a good example). I use the built-in roles by default, but only after thoroughly reviewing the policies, I create my own based on that if I

Very true; to expand on this metaphor, past experience has lead me to ask “does this thing actually need fuel, or is it in fact a bicycle?”; aka: please give me the full context - what are you actually trying to achieve and why?

> the ubiquitous `interface{}` pattern Ubiquitous where? It's the equivalent of `Any` in Scala (and other similar strongly typed languages with unified type hierarchy) and should be strongly discouraged in production code.

In general, for a new project of any size, or significance, or where performance/concurrency was a concern; hands down, yes, I would absolutely reach for a strong, statically typed, compiled language. The fact remains though that Pytho
