just because something is packaged does not mean it’s usable. YMMV but this is how security horror stories start. Someone ran a container they had no idea where it came from, happily used a helm chart. Most of the times it’s not even malici

i think that the way a corporation would mitigate this risk is different. if i need to pay you 5million in a wrongful termination scenario vs paying you 250k per year, I could make you work for 20 years doing nothing and make your life mise

if it’s one employee yes. if you’re going to be basically liable every time you fire someone it’s not worth it.

by rantwasp 6y ago
nah. a wrongful termination lawsuit is expensive (think 7 figures). what i think amazon is going to do is put the workers that try this stunt into positions that are so crappy or the demands are so unrealistic that they’re gonna quit.

perfectly acceptable /s

my point was that just because something is "required" does not mean you have to do it or agree with it. especially if you believe it's wrong.

one person that has the ethic compass to let you know when things are happening + someone who shows and loudly complains is enough to enact change. i swear that people nowadays would sell their soul to the devil just to not go though minor

I agree with you that electricity is something that is required to live a "normal" life. Facebook is not.

i considered it, but they want me to signup on FB, so no thanks /s

hmm. i’m not sure that’s true. a university has more things to consider than just “can we use this app?”

sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen if you ask me. How is uni tied to a crappy corporation? i’m gonna bet you real money that 1) either they had multiple channels (ie you didn’t really need FB) or 2) they will pay legal fees through the

I am not arguing with you. I am pointing out FB is a POS and that it should not be required. Period. Anything that uses FB as a way of keeping people informed should use at least another channel to disseminate that information, preferably n

by rantwasp 6y ago
it does not. FB becoming a requirement is such a 1st world problem. Try living without clean water and come back to lecture me about “increased difficulty”
464.
by rantwasp 6y ago
nah. let’s not compare electricity to a bloated social media platform. if FB goes away tomorrow we can pretty much keep going. if electricity goes away our society would crumble.

by rantwasp 6y ago
is it harder? maybe. is it a requirement? nah

by rantwasp 6y ago
i get it and i am in the same boat as you (ie make it awesome for the reader), but unfortunately this is not what happens in the real world :(

yes. and tesla will actually have the first FSD car /s

you are probably right that there is a lot of complexity for complexity sake. it’s sad actually. also solving problems that you don’t have and you’ll never going to have (k8s I’m looking at you)

by rantwasp 6y ago
not saying that you’re wrong, but do you have the same constraints as the “crappy” websites? there is definitely an explosion of tooling, frameworks, etc, but past some obvious things, IMHO most websites are crippled by business people (tha

i think there is more nuance to this. If you know what the best practices are in general, you understand them and have a really good reason to reject one or two of them that’s one thing. If you reject everything because “you know batter” th

that’s the right answer. unless you are doing something super-specialized or esoteric you should not touch this. and as a matter of fact if you are doing things properly you also don’t have ssh access. remember? cattle not pets!

not sure if this is sarcasm or not, but not knowing what a medicine does is a plus in my book. you have no use for it.

read the article linked in the thread. it actually does not work against all of the covid virus. it works against the spikes. so, the virus is sort of like a ball with these spikes on top (that’s where the corona name comes from) and the va

heartbroken by the way Amazon is treating its own employees, but realistically this will not end way either way.

i’m guessing one or more of the following happened 1) the traffic was not back to 100% instantly and they ramped it up over a longer period of time 2) they offered the people that were fired the option of temporarily keeping their job while

by rantwasp 6y ago
lol. you really fail to understand why everything is dumbed down? it’s because 1) people don’t have a lot of time 2) a lot of people don’t need or can’t understand the arguments. why bother?

or, they’re gonna make more money with the “rush hour” that will follow and they will only lose a small fraction of what people think they’re gonna lose

that may still be the right choice given that now there is a huge backlog

devops is an overloaded term. it’s normally used to pay lip service to bad/unsustainable practices.
