1. Geopolitical trolling is not a Ukrainian thing, like at all (but definitely is Russian, even through official embassy accounts) 2. They would never do something as dumb when it comes to NATO or the US. There is zero reason to. So, you ha

Yeah, it's much easier to end up in a malfunctioning workplace than a good one. The number of healthy workplaces where everything seems to just work is shockingly small, and you are actually lucky to end up in ONE through an entire c

This WP article mentions cases where the "COVID long haulers" have the aftereffects go away after the vaccine, which we don't know why yet, exactly. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/long-haul-covid-v

At this point, I would be starting every morning by consuming about four dozen foods, beverages, and vitamins that will allegedly make me a perfectly healthy human.

This is not a fair fight, however. Do you know how often US lawmakers talk on the phone with a billionaire? About once a week. They get the preferential treatment, they get the laws passed, and if the "normals" want to do somethin

The level of abuse and mismanagement I put up with before I got older is pretty shocking. Young people have a much higher tolerance for BS, in many cases because they don't have enough experience to know that their workplace is broken.

Just doing mundane things like decluttering and dishes at night helps relax the brain and wire it into the sleeping habit loop. Don't start anything major after 6, and definitely not "squeeze in" a movie or a show before midn

For something heavily used, like the EC2 and load-balancing, perhaps, but I am still experiencing PTSD from my last CloudFormation encounter.

American capitalism is built on employee heroics, but at least you can get the AWS stamp on your resie, which, let's be honest, will make you the "it" girl of job hunting.

Jeff Bezos wants to pay the least for the most amount of work, and the workers want the most money for the least amount of work. It sounds like both parties should meet themselves half-way as opposed to living in what is effectively modern-

Do they "only" need 5 hours of sleep or do they say they need it? Are they as productive as they could be when fully rested, or will they "sleep when they are dead". Arianna Huffington also thought she was being greatl

The first thing I thought of immediately was "paying no taxes has become easier than ever". 1. Sabotage your company security 2. Stage a ransomware attack with enough plausible deniability 3. Get a fat bonus The IRS does not have

The book Release It!, listing some techniques for enterprise software resiliency has airline booking systems going down as the first real-world horror story, and I have to say, that is any engineer's nightmare fuel. I was paying attent

If I ever decide to uninstall, re-pack, and return a dishwasher after I find it for $40 cheaper, I will let you know.

Right, but the ultimate goal is to help the company succeed and save it from itself and its management, which is just ass-backwards. At some point I stopped bothering. I can't worry about the company more than the company worries abo

All of those things cost money. You are kind of making my original point that it's a privilege.

With all due respect, you don't know that. By pure miracle, the lawmakers escaped the chambers and very shortly after the seditionists flooded in. What would happen IF they got a hold of say, AOC or Pelosi is probably more grim than no

The world would be a simpler place if people actually knew their storage engine like Postgres. I mean, knew it. All the features and how to leverage them in a performant way. Would eat less cloud energy too.

Or perhaps a concentrated effort by the donors to neuter the agency that is "in the way", no? This whole "the rotten government is so bloated and ineffectual" song is getting a little old. Hmm, why doesn't the IRS

Which part of the government? Because the US is 19th, which is not bad at all. https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/rankings/wb_government_effe... Is it the military? Is that part of government spending, in your opinion?

Imagine a world where there is no, say, AWS. So many basic security things that we take for granted are automatically set up for you in the cloud, as most shops out there could not care for it to save their own lives. Companies that torch t
