For me, google cloud is the worst because their documentation is terrible. And i think their docs are bad because their permission system is bad. For example, some services require more permissions than documented in the docs; those permiss

Just started a book on the American Occupation (Architects of Occupation). It's interesting realize that the US at one point was able to rebuild a society from the ground up. They took the lessons from Versailles and made a peace (and

Funny, that happened to a neighbor. There was this teeny crack in a pipe, and a tree root had squeezed into it then ballooned into this alien creature that blocked the drain in an attempt to suck out the water. Life finds a way.

To be honest, errors in payment processing are hard to create and reproduce in test. Plus there are errors that apparently never occur anywhere except in production. So yeah, "testing" in production is normal for all payment syste

The CPP repudiated Old China back in the day. Now they want to embrace Old China because it gives the CPP legitimacy. So the world turns.

CSV is king because most ETL department programmers suck. Half the time they can't generate a CSV correctly. Anything more complicated would cause their tiny brains to explode. I'm not bitter, I just hate working with ETL 'te

I'd start by buying a few. Open one and let it decarbonate. It's must easier to discern flavors for uncarbonated drinks. As an example, Coca-cola has cinnamon in it, which is almost impossible to taste when it's carbonated. I

Crazy that the project took almost 4 years end-to-end, and it's still ongoing. I had no idea anything at AWS had that long of an attention span. It's funny and telling that in the end, it's all backed by CSVs in s3. Long live

If these machines were backend systems (which most of the ones that mattered were), you have to ask: why are they running malware detection when they should have minimal-to-no surface area for an attacker? That's the real question here
