What is it with "search doesn't work/work well" being a universal gripe with all of Microsoft's products ? It's not like there are no good examples of what modern user expectations are for searching a body of t

Forensics can sometimes prove "X happened", but not "Y didn't happen". That's why sometimes companies will make statements like "we have no evidence that the hackers did Y1, Y2 or Y3". It doesn'

Since their introduction, I've had no issues telling the agent "I'd like to opt out of the scanner". This adds ~10 minutes as I have to wait and perform a manual pat-down, but personally that's not something I mind

Yes, absolutely. More fulfilling for me however is not the code itself, but significant results. I have captured/framed a few graphs in my career that look like a "sudden jump" or a "sudden drop", which were caused

FWIW, past a certain scale, it makes a lot more sense to export dedicated telemetry out of your app into a TSDB. The reason is, it's thousands of times cheaper to +1 a counter/record a gauge and flush it every once in a while, tha
