the initial request for managed policy support dates back to 2015. I finally got around to cleaning up my module and publishing it this year, but its been a long wait for some of the fringe bits of AWS to be able to be managed under ansible

Now if only they could merge in modules that have been sitting in Pull Requests for months at a time. I submitted a module that has been requested since 2015 and it can't seem to find its way into the main project ( https://g

No it doesn't. If thing Y was remotely complicated and if the teams had a good working relationship why would they choose to duplicate their work. Even if it was in a completely different tech stack you would still try to leverage some

If the teams are working on similar problems, and if the teams actually work together they will stabilize on a singular stack. There will be cases where work will be duplicated, and there will be cases where tech components need to be refac

Even if you imposed a singular stack, I could just do it my way at whatever level you started to let me make decisions. All you end up doing is adding overhead to your basic problem which is your teams are not communicating, fix that proble

The choices a manager makes are very different from the choices a technologist should be making, and its not about what tools or tech stack you are working with. It is about things like how do I enable my team to deliver, because one thing

What you have just described is the political reasons for not giving your employees agency in making their own decisions. Technically, while each stack might provide similar value proposition, familiarity and experience with a given stack a

Conway's Law in your environment should probably be interpreted that you have a team that can't talk or work together at all. It has nothing to do with what technical choices they are making, even if you imposed a rigid technical

Its interesting trying to figure out from your comment what kind of people you intend on working with. On one hand you conclude that given the opportunity your employees will wake the wrong choice. So if you can't trust them to make go

In my experience the team should be free to make whatever technical choice they want. The only reason you get dictation from on high about what choices should be made is because your technical leadership lacks the technical depth to advocat

I think with platforms like this it is now safe to say that the systems and services Google is deploying are no longer in the same category as classical networked systems. This is as foreign a concept from traditional networking and the sev

This is I think where the voting public gets played by both sides. On the "free market" side people are told all regulation is bad, just let the market operate. Which ignores that some regulation is needed to keep a level playing

Why not? for every other service you use online this measure of privacy doesn't exist and no one seemed to care about it. When services came along that advertised a measure of privacy they were not inundated with business turning them

I think you missed the authors real point. The selling of data isn't the policy you need to fight. The monopoly power of ISP's is the problem you must push back on. The author has rightly pointed out that regulating your way to yo

That bill opens up to ISP's what website's ( like google ) hav e been doing for years. If no one is safe because of that bill, then no one is safe already. VPN'ing around your ISP is about the same level of difficulty as sett

+1 for development of financial acumen. We can often point to people taking out 18% APY car loans, or going to Payday loan vendors and say how silly they are for not understanding finance, but we turn a blind eye when its the finance that e

Stock options are not complicated. Most people who look into the details of them will find them very plain and actually quite simple. The issue is you don't often deal with this area of finance so it looks foreign until you spend some

I love seeing this kind of work done. Not because its going to radically change the underlying technology, but having the air cover a project like this will provide can enable so many government coders who get shut down by their first tier

I think your view of addition is not just lacking, but wrong. There is a school of thought that addicts don't have a choice, but if you follow that view and take rational choices you end up with even more punitive policies. The reality

In the eyes of most of the rest of the world the policies in the Philippines are doing a good job of slaughtering citizens for morally dubious causes. The drugs are being fronted as a way to usher in dictatorial authority for the state and

The addiction doesn't always win. I personally know people who have kicked a heroin habit. From talking with them one thing they will tell you is that while the addiction doesn't always win, it never gives up trying either.

Philly is late to the gentrification that most other cities are dealing with, its going to take a bit longer for the really prime places to price out people who are willing to move into the seeder neighborhoods.

I'll give it a try. Why arrest an addict? Its because by attaching a punishment to the behavior we attempt to alter the fundamental utility calculation that is taking place when someone decided to take a hit. That person knows it is il

When I was looking to replace my OpenVPN server for a cloud based VPN one thing I wanted was to use the OS native VPN solution. Everything pointed me to L2TP/IPSec, I am wondering why I would choose IKEv2 over that.

It is likely that your structure is in fact allowing _potential_ errors to enter into the picture. Most of the time in C or C++ you would ignore them since it is obvious to you where things will be owned and not owned as the program progres

The list of sources for actual news is getting _very_ small. I mean this in engadget and what we have is a sensationalist headline and then an article that says this behavior is explicitly allowed, but could open a door for misconduct if so

I don't think its weird, I think its what has become normal. People operate on speculation and fear more then facts.
