It depends on your needs. What if you provide a SSO solution in your product, your customer is using Okta (or any other IdP) and that IdP goes down? There's nothing really you can do then unless you have other means of authentication.

Ooh, this is a neat podcast niche that I'll probably enjoy! If you're taking suggestion of public postmortems to talk about I recommend Github's 2018 outage [1,2] caused by a network partition. [1] https://github.b

If all you need is the ability to run a lambda function's code locally you might interested in docker-lambda[1]. I haven't really used localstack or SAM but a couple of years ago when we needed to run some lambda functions locally

There's definitely plenty of companies out there that have stopped using LeetCode style questions. I just finished interviewing and out of the 8 companies I talked to only 1 had a single LeetCode style question and it was one of the &q

Yup! I think the biggest win for me is not having to worry about CSS class names. Some people hate the fact that the HTML is now less "clean" but I appreciate not having to context switch or deduce that a child a tag inside a a di

It makes sense; loading that README performs almost 1700 requests for GitHub resources. That's probably way off the regular GitHub usage and definitely enough to trigger a regular user's rate limit. In Chrome you can view the sour

Haven't used it personally myself but I've heard it enough to remember it. Redpanda[1] aims to be a Kafka replacement without having to worry about Zookeeper or the JVM [1] https://vectorized.io/

I was referring to the root accounts in your organization. The blast radius is more limited, but still a root account that has access to everything within that AWS account.

This is a lot harder to do if you have lots of AWS accounts and create new ones over time on-demand (e.g. AWS account per team).

Have you managed to get GoLand's IDE tests to work properly? I found that it imports only the file for the test but nothing else which causes errors due to "undefined" things (things defined in the package are not accessible

Given the rarity of this bug I doubt a small sample sized would have captured the right requests to be able to debug this. The probability would be the probability of this bug occurring * (sample percentage)^3 [ you'd need to have samp

Yes, and issues will always occur. What I was trying to point out that it's never an individual's fault alone. Sure someone might have tripped the final domino but they might not have had anything to do with everything else that h

No, it was SolarWinds that blamed the intern for their security issues. In all seriousness... if a single employee can accidentally single-handedly screw things up you've got a process problem. There should be checks and balances to ma

I personally like advocating after 20 minutes of being stuck and unable to progress any further. If you're stuck but keep making incremental progress, reset the timer. It might seem silly but if you're able to make slow incrementa

They started processing a portion of Amazon.com's purchases back in 2017 and I'm guessing that portion has probably grown since then.

It would burn until all the metal has reacted. I think the point is that due to its chemical properties what you're using to try to "extinguish" the fire is actually fueling the reaction so not forever but you're certain

I was curious as to the reason why water or CO2 can't be used to put off a metal fire. The TL;DR is that with a metal fire the high temperatures cause the H2O and CO2 molecules to be unstable enough that the metal can attract the oxyge

It might take a few days before it gets suspended. A side project account of mine was suspended and it took me 9 months to get it back.

It's important to highlight that your code reviews are reviews of the _code_ and not him as a person or his character. You're both trying to make the best possible decisions to ensure that the product is stable, minimize the amoun

This is true, but in practice on an iPhone the "default" music app didn't make a difference for me. I always had Spotify running (not necessarily playing, just the app open in the background) so when I pressed play it always

I believe the USD transaction tax is 35% not 65% (not that I think it makes sense in any way).

I guess that makes sense. The quality of their support is probably directly correlated to the level of internal tooling to help diagnose issues. For more popular/older services that tooling is probably better.

While you do pay for AWS support, I must say that in my experience AWS support is pretty top notch. I don't particularly like the (somewhat) recent changes where the priority of your ticket is based on your support plan but I'm gu

That's a pretty good quote! It's also worth noting that if your size is bounded a simpler quadratic algorithm might be more maintainable overtime than a linear one (if it's easier to grok). Say max(n) = 25, it doesn't re

I might be mistaking things here but I believe that Apple's CoreData and Android's equivalent are both powered by SQLite under the hood. Messages on macOS stores all your message in a SQLite file under ~/Library/Messages

Is it high? Yes. Is it completely wasteful? Debatable. Looking at the memory utilization of my VS Code installation with all of the extension I have is currently using just shy of 200MB. Most entry level laptops today come with 8GB of memor

It's not that you _can't_ do these things in vim/emacs it's that the experience is different. I'd argue that VS Code is closer to an IDE than just an editor. For example, I can Cmd+Click on a function usage and it t
