At least my view is that if someone is selling pottery on Amazon, it's about quantity... And at scale, the cost savings might be worth something.... It's not even a thing you usually find in stores as a hobbiest in the states.. if

My wife does pottery, and makes her own glazes. This is a major concern for potters, and you usually won't see a professional or semi-professional potter use lead in their glazes... Of course, if you're buying on Amazon, who knows

I would guess the user is asking what are down detector's dependencies... E.g. can their website function I'd us-east-2 goes down? Or a GCP equivalent? Or are they on a self-hosted server ? What would cause the metrics to be &quot

There's at least one AZ in East-1 that doesn't support nitro, and that's been around for 4ish years now... I agree in principle, but clearly something is hobbling them because of (probably) legacy stuff

I appreciate this reply, and hope the initial engineer gets no flak for his personal opinions attempting to defend your company. It's nice to see a tech company with employees defending it and leadership making such public statements a

This statistic might also be a specialization for just this case/city. The author noted that Montpelier was known for shoes, which might mean people traveled there for shoes, or they were exported/bought by traveling merchants and

It's also really good if you're standing up old VMs (e.g. testing older OSs/setups from images). I think Microsoft, for a time, offered VMs for such testing... Or maybe it was a third party... Guacamole world be a very good g

Advantage to guacamole is you can have a corporate controlled middle man... You might set your server username to root/root, but that's not a problem if you can only get to it by guacamole.. I mean it's not great, but guacamo

We use guacamole as a way to gatekeep access to servers which are explicitly made vulnerable for students to attack. We give students a Kali Linux box, and a server with dozens of vulnerabilities.. and we don't have to worry about thos

I don't get the obsession with ansible and terraform as CF replacements.... When I explored both, I found no way to "translate" an AWS VM into an azure VM, you have to use completely different modules and inputs. Same for jus

Note that the CDK has "levels" of abstraction. Level 1 is basically full parity to CloudFormation. Level 2 has reasonable defaults, typically. Level 3 has opinionated implementations. At level 3, you can have a reasonable multi-az

This is an interesting idea, and I can see the value... But how does this work for those with disabilities? Will screen readers describe the image in the mouse over as well? (I imagine so, if alt tagged, but I'm not sure and would love

I try to drag this out of candidates, but it's often very hard... Surprisingly few people actually code outside their jobs/education... Job code is obviously a no-go, and academics are usually pre-skeletoned work, So when I ask th

Rows returned model works really well for certain data loads (where all data customers use is customer-keyed).... This model also scales DOWN really well .. while still providing good scalable availability... That said, I DO agree with the

1) remote work opened doors that were not possible before. We lost a junior employee to a company paying Texas tech hub wages in an area where most don't make 6 figures before 10 years experience or management. They probably feel the

Basically, yes.... But essentially: We already used ansible for other things, so it wasn't too hard to swap over to AWS modules... (Except they were inconsistent and poorly supported, we ultimately found out) Someone at Hashicorp then

Agree. CF is not a magic bullet, but neither is ansible or terraform. We used ansible heavily with AWS for 2 years. Then we decided to gut it out and do CF directly. Why? If we want to switch clouds, it's not like the ansible or terraf

Equifax agreed to pay 600 million, but still saw profits up 20% for the year... Sure they could have made 600 million MORE in profit, but that's still just 15% of their profits for the year.. sure they'll spend a few million in th

The problem actually goes much further back than the pandemic... The housing bubble/crises lead to a massive supply of homes being foreclosed on and purchased by wealthier groups. It also lead to a large exodus of home building profes
