Time Warner blatantly tried to rip me off and, then stole my money when I signed up for Earthlink. First they put charges for channels and shows I never purchased over a 3 month period adding up to $900. I tried to fight it and they wouldn

I can't count how many times I've made a point on HN and someone has replied about how most people are so ignorant. If secure matters then you better read and educate yourself. Ignorance of the law is no excuse and ignorance in

Yes I prefer the simple Trello over Jira but, only for my own personal projects. Trello is completely useless where I work and, is in no way, disruptive to the Enterprise. My point was that, if you can't figure out where a Kanban boar

The picture comparison of boards is a joke. Why would you show the Trello board view compared to a list of tickets in a sprint? The author must not know how to use Jira and create a Kanban board. I actually prefer Trello over Jira but, I

I think companies use Jargon to help instill a cult community on purpose. I just proposed the idea of creating such a glossary as you mentioned. I can't change a company with close to 100,000 people so I assimilate to get my pay chec

I don't worry if they think I'm a pompous ass and continue to use jargon. Their opinion is only a reflection of their insecurity or fear of seeming dumb. And, they are being dumb. People use new jargon I'm unfamiliar with a

I'm confused by your use of the word "amber". Did you mean to write lepton or quark? I realize the irony in this comment.

Well we are rebuilding from scratch into micro services as we have the man power and money to do it. Why not just go with libraries? Here are the top five reasons off of the top my head. The current monolith is requires vagrant and doesn&

SNS topics and lambda jobs. Just use the API to add a firewall rule to block traffic when it gets a billing SNS alert. Should be pretty simple to get working.

I use budgets in AWS to send me a text when I get to a certain limit. You could potentially use an SNS topic to take action and shutdown resources I suppose. I guess if you are always traveling or can't get to a computer this could b

Casinos ban cell phones at black jack because you are playing against them. The allow cell phones at poker because you are playing against other players. You can bet that the casino is not aggressively putting security into watching poker

You would be right. I used to run poker games myself. Basically home games that people find out about through meetup etc. While I never condoned cheating and only made money on rake, I had dealers who would offer to cheat. They basicall

Please write an update and submit a PR. I'm moving from Ansible to Chef and would love some real world advice on what Opsworks has to offer me without another dreaded POC. It's likely the original authors aren't using Chef o
