I struggle to say why not. I just checked and it's hosted on AWS Ireland which should have the capacity to deal with any level of traffic. I noticed that dig-ing it returns two IP addresses, indicating an elastic/application load

When we migrate databases, we execute a Docker container with a specific environment variable to let it know that it's time to migrate. The CI environment doesn't actually have a network connection to the DB; it just updates the D

The challenge can be the company but really you should be able to raise your request to your boss who can navigate the system for you. I'm personally always happy to pay a premium for the tools of my trade.

I've always lived in areas with very high demand for rental property and I always had the opposite problem in that I couldn't stay in the property long enough - landlords often wouldn't agree to 2 year leases for example. Pos

You can always steal something if it can be seen. I think it's more of to clearly express that they don't want you to screenshot whatever it is. You can subvert it but you know you're doing something you shouldn't. I don

Exactly. You might just forward an e-mail to someone with an action without thinking of the e-mail chain below. But if you're taking screenshots or photos of a secure e-mail because it doesn't allow you to copy the text, you know

There are a number of illnesses that can cause the symptoms you are describing such as ME or Lyme disease. There are also other more dramatic possibilities that are more unlikely as I assume you are reasonably young. It is also possible you

How is your sleep? I find that eating, exercising and sleeping are the base activities from which everything else follows. You mentioned the other two but not sleep. You mentioned seeing a therapist, but have you taken your symptoms to a do

Ah, I had missed that! Thank you, that's very helpful to know. I always learn something new every day here.

Customers probably wouldn't appreciate getting a Windows instance with an inconsistent patch level, you want to know that when you start a specific AMI ID you tested in your staging environment that it will be the same AMI you launch i

by gtsteve 8y ago
This is an interesting thought; I use Windows instances myself but I use a custom AMI built using Packer on our CI server. Presumably Amazon doesn't have a pool of my custom AMI images lying around. So I wonder if the custom AMI is act

So your service would effectively be the tenant? Certainly an interesting concept although the landlord would have to agree to sublet. The lease agreement for my apartment for example says I can sublet but I can't allow my tenants to s

It depends on your use-case. If you're building a static HTML administration UI and the only real UI code you need to write is a "select all" checkbox for a list of items, then porting that UI to React is 100% overkill. If yo

Your question is how to bring this up with your client? I'd either call a meeting or send an e-mail depending on the sort of communication culture and draw their attention to what would seem to be a risk to their business. But just poi

by gtsteve 8y ago
I've seen a post showing that you can change the value of the checkbox behind the UI element using "inspect element" and posting the form back. The server-side doesn't validate and you can disable the flag. This is proba

I suppose in retrospect it shouldn't be surprising. I just thought it would be a lot harder than this. I imagined that the communication between the TPM chip and the CPU would be encrypted somehow; I should have verified that. Does the

Perhaps watch this video for a nice overview of what that might look like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqKGREZs6-w I think you'll probably see baby steps towards it but there are a lot of problems to overcome.

Given Microsoft's response, it seems this isn't new. I'm in charge of my company's security so now I'm a bit concerned. I mandated the use of Bitlocker with TPM across the business but no pre-authentication measures

You actually can configure Bitlocker to accept a passphrase instead but the option isn't easy to find. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-bitlocker-encryption-...

Telling programmers what to do as a non-programmer can be like herding cats. Your first step should be to hire in a technical manager who can build the rest of the team for you. If you believe this is the future of the company, you should c

Thanks, I just did some searching and found that this was added in February 2018 - I think I gave up on my project in 2017 so it now looks like I could program something like what I wanted. I still have the source code so that's nice.

I bought an Echo speaker when they first came out. The sound quality is impressive (to my untrained ear), but the development experience is not. The first thing I wanted to do was to add a feature so I could add a task to my to-do list soft

Given the age of the offering, it might actually be the CloudSearch [0] product that is used by the Amazon.com search team. FWIW, I've always found the Amazon store search to be pretty decent; normally I don't use a website's

It makes deployment really easy so long as you have the infrastructure to deploy to. I have most experience with Amazon ECS but you could also manage it with Kubernetes on AWS, Azure or GCP. My company now deploys every app that can run on

Yes it would be helpful to bounce ideas off an DevOps expert. I sometimes use AWS support for this and I have received some helpful advice from them but it would be nice when my questions don't necessarily revolve around how to use ser

Perhaps you could identify members of their technical team via LinkedIn or whoising their domain name, or others they own. You might find that the CAA record contains the e-mail address of a security manager for example. You could perhaps t

My bank does this and it was really annoying to have to create a table of randomly generated values as answers to their questions. I refuse to give real answers to stuff like this; I'm pretty sure if you knew my real-world identity you
