Breed’s been mayor since 2018 and was a supervisor before that since 2015. How come she’s just launching a public safety plan now? And when is she going to take responsibility for her role in getting us to where we are now?

They don’t say explicitly right away do they? I skimmed twice. But yes you’re right, there’s no reason to question their monitoring or alerting specifically.

At the large platform company where I work, our policy is if the customer reported the issue before our internal monitoring caught it, we have failed. Give 5 minutes for alerting lag, 10 minutes to evaluate the magnitude of impact, 10 minut

Would you be ok with logging also checking the contents of what is passed in for sensitive data that should not be logged? (I do this and am curious if there’s a better pattern, to provide defense in depth against mistakenly logging eg secr

I really appreciate your checking back. Not literally every time I pause, but if the paused frame “times out” and it drops me on the content screen with the Resume option, when I resume it will be back on 5.1 and I have to change it back to

Thanks! Point taken that my garbage query yielded garbage results. Coming full circle here, in your opinion, are pluggable storage engines a virtue of MySQL, for practical purposes?

That’s good to know! If the first result is not reputable, that’s still a smell (but a different kind of smell) for MySQL. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=innodb+vs+myisam
