This is another example of why aid programs should be universal. Send every citizen a cheque for the same amount, and I mean everyone (even Bezos and Musk). One system built competently. Way lower risk of fraud or corruption (qualifiers exa

This is contract to hire which is perfectly valid but not something most companies will agree to. I think it’s due to conflicting goals. The department hiring wants to lock in the employee so they can cross it off their todo list, and fix t

I'm already using 2FA with github and it doesn't impact anything else (including git / ssh).
786.
by rapind 4y ago
I think a good compromise is to allow organizations to opt to require 2FA in order to access their repositories, and allow individuals to opt to require 2FA for write permissions in their repositories (public or private).
787.
by rapind 4y ago
I think the argument has already been made for 2FA often enough though. So they probably just assumed everyone had heard it (wrongly perhaps?).

Nit pick, but I wanted to point out that backing up your cloud data (github) to another cloud (gitlab) is increasing (approximately doubling) your attack surface. Good for data retention though.

I try to. Does posting this vague (pithy?) comment result in a reduction of horrific things occurring?

by rapind 4y ago
Absolutely. Best we can do is try to gradually prepare them for the horrific (/s) things they will be exposed to. I constantly worry they are too isolated from danger these days to be honest (compared to my childhood).

I love this. I quite like Swift. I've been enjoying Elm for a few years, because it keeps me away from most of the bloat and churn in web UI tech / frameworks, and it's enjoyable (for me) to work in. It really helps to keep m

This is already very common in the private sector. Most businesses that require custom software will insist (via contract terms) that they “own” the software. There’s also licensed deals and subscription services etc. sure, but there’s a to

It’s just that windows is quite a bit more complex and vulnerable compared to much simpler and security focused OSs like a BSD back then or maybe Alpine Linux these days.

Why is that a problem though? Businesses fail every day. Are you saying that paying less for 3rd world talent is going to make or break this business? What I'm hearing is a bit contrived: 1. You only have enough cashflow to pay exploit

What? Are we having the same conversation? I'm saying is that focusing your energies on trying to get location based cheap labour might not be the best use of your time. How am I arguing that people should starve?
