This may vary a lot by bank. At the small regional bank I used to work for accounts were assigned a home branch, typically where the account was first opened, and that branch had enhanced responsibilities in terms of servicing and maintaini

Noticed a new-ish behavior in the slack app the last few days - possibly related? Some external links (eg Confluence) are getting interposed and redirected through a slack URL at https://slack.com/openid/connect/lo

Multicast too. If you've never needed to manipulate ACLs for multicast traffic, you're not really living.

Maybe a stretch - but this reminds me of blood sugar regulation for people with type 1 diabetes. Too low is dangerous because you lose rational thought, and the ability to maintain consciousness or self-recover. However, despite not having

The VLAN part is important. "LAN" doesn't imply the same use of VLAN trunking or flat network architecture. Traffic infra being on a VLAN behind the firewall implies a lot of trust in the traffic infra physical plant. You can

It sounds like you know this already, but as any portrait photographer would note, changing the focal length is not equivalent to cropping. It's roughly equivalent, at best. ie, Telephoto lenses bring a different perspective which incl

Well, other legal distinctions aside, robbery is taking things by threat of force. If someone doesn't know they've been a victim of larceny until later, it wasn't a robbery.

The post you're replying to is describing a straightforward implementation of the strangler pattern. It's a valid and useful technique. Even if you disfavor it, I don't see why you feel the need to judge the comprehension ski

The two worst offenders I can think of with regards to using local time were Rackspace, and Southwest Airlines. Not in the Bay Area, but every other west-coast company I've been involved with is pretty militant about using UTC, typical

They're typically hosted in public parks, no tickets required. It's always fun to see the reaction of people who stumble onto them. The masters climbs at the end of the event are the most exciting.

Tree climbing is incredible fun. The devices used are agile, and in North America at least, climbing techniques are expressive and personalized to the point of still being the wild west. The ISA/TCIA host yearly regional climbing compe

Correct. That's the same way I read that comment. More fundamentally, chemical catalysts by definition are not consumed by the reactions they catalyze. Think: a cheese grater. It doesn't react with the cheese, so a few ounces of g

Not surprised at all. Doesn't even depend on cloud vendors - I'm thinking back to the 2023 MOVEit vulnerability which resulted in the release of a ton of customer info from banks' own internal infrastructure.

It's very hard to not see creation in the quote when time is the actor at the moment of a book's "b*rthing". If the arrow of time isn't berthing a book at its creation, when else would it? The ambiguity is delightfu
