If I had a choice between an entry-level candidate with a MOOC certificate and an entry-level candidate with a Github repo with some interesting projects, I think the latter candidate would be in with a better chance. Not all candidates are

Host header attacks aren't exactly new [0]. However it seems that this is deliberately vague to prevent people from exploiting it whilst systems are patched. I note that the CVE details [1] are not yet available, so perhaps the actual

It's a good text editor, and when I'm working with lots of Dockerfiles and Terraform configurations it's replaced Atom and Notepad++ as my go-to editor. The JavaScript editor's not half bad either. But for serious develo

In terms of remote freelance perhaps TopTal might be considered. I have never worked for them but I have hired TopTal staff before and found them to be excellent. Anecdotally they all seemed pretty happy with their jobs.

Yes, OP might consider an IT position where programming is a smaller part of the role. As a former programmer you'd probably make a formidable system administrator. I know more than a few who struggle to copy and paste Powershell scrip

I've never used a *BSD but perhaps you could say why you think FreeBSD is superior to openBSD?

I don't know but my guess would be anything that isn't core storage - we know they run their own SAN on their own hardware because that was the cause of another outage a month or two ago. At a guess: - Bitbucket Pipelines - Webhoo

I'm not really a networking guy, so perhaps this is an obvious question, but why don't you have a failover configuration to send traffic over VPN or the public Internet? I would expect the latency to increase but otherwise still w

Well if you can't read then you can't see what you're writing to right? But I agree, it's not ideal that Bitbucket has been experiencing issues. I am also looking at alternatives, most likely using AWS CodeCommit and Ups

Perhaps this is well known but I discovered this only two weeks ago - you can buy yellow-tinted glasses to block blue light. I wear them for an hour or so before bed (which my partner mocks me for) but it really seems to help me get to slee

It's certainly impressive for a one person company. Is that 50k a month profit though? I co-own a company that turns over a similar amount but you wouldn't be jealous of my bank balance.

Why would that be insane? I'm sure that you can negotiate a better deal if your use-case is beyond what a normal customer would use.

Another pattern you might consider is setting an expiry date on a database row. You only show values where the expiry date is null. Every night you have a cronjob or some other process that deletes all objects that have expired.

Perhaps not but you could buy more than drugs on Silk Road - counterfeit currency, fake ids, etc.

I'd add a cloudwatch alarm keeping track of the number of invocations you expect in a given hour. You can also set a concurrency threshold (a relatively new feature)

It appears that Privacy Badger blocks kickstarter.com completely. I don't know why it has that default but you can just set it to only block cookies.

Yes, they have RDS: https://aws.amazon.com/rds/ It allows you to launch many common database engines, which are managed and backed up by AWS. I've been using it for a few years and for my use-case it's great.

It's definitely worthwhile to learn Lambda, S3 and serverless apps but all that stuff can be learned on the job. S3 is especially easy to use for most use-cases and any decent programmer can learn to use it in an hour or two. However,
