Seriously, the easier way to do this is just make a password protected zip file. Boom. Done. No extra mucking around with random bytes and whatnot. You want to share? Give the password to your friends.

Wait until they realized microservices can be deployed independently and have strict APIs without people using classes they shouldn't or creating spaghetti code because they have 800k LOC.

I suppose my quick metaphor doesn't hold up under scrutiny. The point I'm trying to make is teams don't (shouldn't) let egos and feelings get in the way. Just because someone likes their code getting rolled out isn'

I think this article misses the point that somethings are also completely right or completely wrong. For example, using string concatenation to build HTML and SQL. This is, just about always, a very bad idea. If a team is entrenched in doin

And then DropBox runs that on every file, so you you have the normal md5 and the torrent-obfuscation-reversed md5. They check both. We have now achieved nothing.

That would have solved it. For me the problem was that somehow Ansible took an non-existent value, looped over that, and then applied that value as the variable inside the loop.

In a previous version of ansible, the user module would error out if it couldn't delete the home directory, so this was added as pre-remove-user step to prevent errors. In theory we could have pushed an empty authorized_keys, but it&#x

I'm not saying it's not useful to know or that having that knowledge might make someone a better candidate, but it seems like that alone shouldn't be reason enough to reject someone. And I disagree that looking up the answers

I've had the same experience. Someone listed 2 years Scala experience on a resume, but couldn't explain Unit, None, null, and Nothing to me. Or the guy this week who had several years of ops experience and when asked "how can

It's relevant because it means there are N apps out there instead of the exactly one pair of "my SIM" and "a tower my provider can use to reach my phone."

But I can back up the secret in multiple places, and as another commenter mentioned, TOTP is an open spec, so I don't have to rely on exactly one sim card being in range of a cell tower. I have options. My bank requires SMS confirmatio

To me that's broken because if I travel, change numbers, or have wifi but no cell coverage, I can't access my account.

It seems a lot of people here are talking about debugging in the context of automated tests and manually stepping through debugger loops. For me debugging usually means "figuring out why we had an outage." This means looking at: 1

I spend a lot of time in the commmandline, so it makes sense for me to not use a GUI. This alias (in ~/.gitcofig) is gold for most of the "graphical" stuff I'd use something like SourceTree for. [alias] lg = log -

A few days late on the response here, but I'm going for it anyway. I was using "bit" colloquially, and my tone wasn't angry. We "choose not to participate in the GPL community" because we sell software, and if

Licensing could be enough alone. We're auditing everything we use for license issues because we don't have to get bit by the GPL and have to opensource all our proprietary software. Even if C# was noticeably worse (for some arbitr
