Consider the multiple S3 leaks that caused AWS to change their defaults to block public access and disable ACLs. You could say that since buckets were always default private, any misconfiguration was simply user error and users complaining

So, it’s really very simple. I either want ads or I don’t want ads. Only if I want ads should there be a choice between targeted, contextual or random. There is no “I don’t want ads but I should get them anyway because reasons”. And the fac

They poll. It's easy however to add pub/sub via redis. Queues are categorized in frequency. So for example a notification queue might process every minute or 5 minutes, a reconciliation queue might run every 12 hours, or have a fi

The way I implement my queues (usually as part of my monolith application) is as go routines. Each instance of the app launches with a unique id, and also a role. It can be a worker or the app itself. So when the app generates a queue item,

I sometimes view security firms as I view Wordpress security plugins. Back when I did Wordpress consulting I went through most security plugins and realized they were pretty much scams. Obfuscate some names and hashes and show some checks.

I understand the benefit of this solution, but it seems to me that this will enable more of the problem. Now we have AI to figure this out, so let’s go wild on duck taping more policies. Let’s even add contradictions and it will just give y

Another variation of this is the popup that only has "accept" and "remind me later buttons". It's even worse when it happens in work applications. Zoho does this. You open Zoho books, the accounting SaaS, and every

They're outsourcing identity verification to gmail to replace the "email verification flow". This way they don't have to configure any email infra like sendgrid, ses, etc, deal with bounces and so on. It's also poss

I bought a Nissan this year. I paired my phone and granted access to contacts, but not messages. Every time I turn it on it shows a popup asking to grant access to my phone's messages. I decline each time, and each time it comes back.

I guess the point is to find opportunities to do better than the average, not that the average should not exist. That’s often where competitive advantages arise. Most people can’t identify or execute on them because rules.

As you get wealthier, you believe you need things, like a 3 br home where each kid has their own room. If money gets tight, you realize a 2 br is actually fine. Problem is, when you consider downgrading you feel that need a lot more than if

This, I really saw nothing there that I would not have done, if I had the money to pay for damages. The floor caving, losing a rack, causing a surge, etc, are small risks comparing to that he was trying to save, and to what he was trying to

The government should have no responsibility in facilitating land deals. If you want to buy land, buy it from the markets, and if the owner has not listed it, then likely they don’t want to sell it. And if you really want to buy it and thin

It is, and so is secrecy. Capitalism does not require publishing every business dealing. Capitalism is not just competition between a buyer and a seller, it is also between buyers and between sellers. Sellers with better access to info win,

There is a difference. Humanity lies, but until now it could not retroactively mass fabricate truth so convincing that even people current day skeptics had trouble seeing through. When I say current day, I mean in the past, a genocide was b

My philosophy here is never automate/gitops something that you cannot revert manually if something goes wrong. I learned this almost the same way as OP, but in test and dev environments. As my K8s clusters crashed irrecoverably in many
