If your employment is limited because you are banned arbitrarily from a tool for any reason then the situation is wrong. Regardless of that, my entire org relies on github globally. If we could not onboard or retain someone due to this I wo

I don't have a solution but I regularly make controversial but polite points on Microsoft's open source projects so this worries me. I am anti-Telemetry and against some of the decisions they have made as a business which have imp

I used the docs, the excellent https://gobyexample.com and Google mostly.

That's what we say we do. Reality is that most of the time the entire team is logged in via delegated admin accounts working out what the automation fucked up or deleting resources which don't want to go away when the automation c

No this is exactly how it works. There’s technically ideal policy and a bunch of exceptions which are behind a “break glass in case of emergency” account. Realistically nothing works however many hours you spend in IAM unless you use the em

If this was AWS you’d have to kill them in dependency order or they would be immortal and you’d need to make yourself a coffee while they were slowly dying.

That market is already covered by the cheap dev boards, arduino clones and Chinese PLCs at considerably less cost than the officially branded parts. You can't even buy an Arduino Uno for the price these guys are selling PLCs for: http

Had no idea plausible.io existed. Thanks for posting the link for this. Just what I need for a project :)

Agree on all points. I'd like to add that it just tends to not punch you in the balls. I originally picked it up trying to solve a simple web hook integration problem. I had a Python Flask app running which received a webhook, did some

I don't think you understand the industry. Reliability is qualified through testing, certification and support. It isn't a function of marketing. Marketing gets you to the testing table. But better not have any skeletons in the cu

I wish that was the case. The biggest software risk to companies I have worked at are not the NSA or memory safety. It's their own product management and development staff competence. You can leave a whale sized implementation hole i

No the current Arduino ecosystem does not have a good reputation for reliable hardware at all. It does in your product echo chamber but quite frankly it's laughed out of the building in many professional settings and for good reason. T

I don't get the market position of this. A number of Chinese companies produce DIN rail mounted PLCs which already cover this market, cost virtually nothing and actually emulate Mitsu GX ones so work with existing off the shelf tools a

That’s why I’m an asshole/nice centrist :)

Having worked with a lot of intelligent engineers (mostly EE) I would suggest that they are no more capable of making rational business decisions than anyone else. The only thing I really took from the experience is to learn from other peop

Why would I want to be the richest person in the world? Sounds like a load of hassle which would compete with the things I value. None of my family even know what my financial situation is! Nto even the kids.

Yup. I've been that guy twice on projects. Started a contract. Oh all the other guys were fired/left! I laughed inside a bit, took the 6 months pay and watched it tank both times because there was fuck all I could do about it but

Stupidity is not necessarily a lack of intelligence, but also a lack of common sense. He's clearly intelligent. Some of the most intelligent people I've ever known are quite frankly the most stupid and dangerous with actions conc

Honestly, why couldn't you achieve it? Your point is self-deprecating. I couldn't because my goals and ethics do not align with the same outcome not because it's impossible.

Read this a couple of decades ago. The cypherpunk in me is lazy and stupid these days. Better to take advantage of the world than hide from it. That is not to say you can't hide from it at the same time, where it matters. And you shoul

This is true. The answer is actually that he's a liar / marketer. Colonise Mars? It's never going to happen. But you'll win defence and commercial contracts on the way as a side effect. Saving the future with electric ca

Indeed. My father said it this way, rather well: there are many more failed assholes than successful assholes. Do not attribute success to being an asshole. Incidentally he was a failed asshole. All his staff deserted him and watched his bu

I suspect this is the real problem. Stupid people with money can look like they are clever because the layer of people immediately underneath them actually wields the clue stick. Stupid people with no money look stupid because they can&#x27
