Honestly, I’ve written some applications that, on paper, should be the perfect candidate for generics. And yet I can still count on one hand the number of times generics have saved me from massive code duplication. Most of the time generics

That’s not the same thing as what people generally mean when they say “production data”. And yes, your dev environments should mirror the production environments bar production data. That’s software development 101.

I don’t think I’ve worked in an industry where it’s safe to use production data in a non-prod environment in probably 20 years. I think for dev, it’s fine not to have blue/green. You want dev deployments to be fast. UAT / pre-prod

This is the first thing you learn when you move into DevOps. And something management don’t appreciate when DevOps engineers ask for another environment just for themselves (ie somewhere they can dev infra without breaking stuff for develop

That wasn’t the case pre-Covid when I was talking about. But it’s still good even now. And it’s obviously going to be quite different from Japanese restaurants because London isn’t in Japan (surprise surprise).

One of the best ramen I’ve ever had is this: https://ramen.haus/united-kingdom/london/cha-mori-ramen-kana... Pre-Covid, this restaurant would regularly have queues down the street to get in. But it’s a small place

It had been for a long time now. What’s more likely is the effort required for large scale attacks is easier now than ever thanks to LLMs.

I’ve been working on something like this for a few years. Literally. And I’ve noticed that my hobby project went from being a niche toy to something everyone was independently building almost overnight. My guess is that AI now makes it triv

I’ve wondered if natural phenomena like tornadoes could carry fish eggs those kinds of distances. Or even just carry the eggs into the clouds, to be rained down large distances away.

You’re hugely over simplifying things. For starters, your complaint about IT is representative of bad IT operations. NOT security as an industry, like you claim it is. And your comments about RBAC are such a massive oversimplification that

It really doesn’t take much to bend light. Supernova and asteroids were always scarier to me because they’re potentially planet-ending scenarios. Whereas a black hole is benign as long as you don’t move into its orbit at too acute an angle.

Given cyber attacks are more rampant than ever, it’s hard to argue that security has gone too far the other way.

> Right, but security maximalist are running the asylum now, and they try to sell everyone the lie that more security is possible. That’s not what’s happening. Here you have security used as an excuse for vendor lock ins. Just like AI is

IT has always been a spectrum with security at one end and convenience at the other. There is no recent trend that’s changed that. That’s just how life works.

If Alan Carr can win the previous series then it’s safe to say anyone can.

Of course a Linux driver is going to make use of Linuxims. That’s literally the point of a Linux device driver. Given how performance-sensitive device like a graphics card is, you’d naturally want as few abstractions between your OS and you

It’s an option, but it’s worth noting that you’re not always idling your brain in quite the same way unless you happen to work somewhere were there are no roads to cross, cars and cyclists to dodge, nor other pedestrians to navigate around.

The OPs comments weren’t just a hypothetical. We’ve already seen numerous instances where agents have leaked private data. Even GitHub’s own Copilot has been found guilty of these vulnerabilities.

Just run the either the Java or bedrock server as a docker container. There’s good community-maintained containers out there.
