You'd think that this is something that would have be done before announcing the decommissioning in 18 months.

The more transparency, the better for everyone, including and especially under-represented groups.

Basic yet eye-opening for me was "Talking to my daughter about the economy" by Yianis Varoufakis (ex Greek finance minister). It does an "explain like I'm 13" for how the idea of markets and money started, how and w

It handles them exactly as you describe. They didn't have them when I first joined a few years ago but, when they added them, they did it the right way. Coupled with the fact that you can use anything you want before the @, it makes fo

As an SRE I find that MacOS for me strikes a good balance between being unix-y enough but also reliable to the degree that it doesn't require me to spend time debugging why the bluetooth fails or why the VPN stopped working after I ran

Actually I'd argue that the biggest problem would be to wait for the TTL to expire after you've fixed the problem.

Ah sorry, you're indeed right. Turns out it was just the .service.gov.uk domain that uses GCP and AWS - I just thought that applied to the parent domain too. $ dig NS service.gov.uk +short ns-cloud-e4.googledomains.com. ns-clo

Depending on what point you draw the line of "single point of failure" you could use multiple providers for your dns. GOV.UK for example uses both aws and gcp for DNS

No major ISP that is. There are some smaller ones that offer symmetrical (like hcn) but you need to be lucky to be covered by their network.

I think most of the author's pains could be implicitly solved by using tags on merge. That way you maintain a linear history, you get clear marks of when each pr was merged and you can see what happened in between. The obvious downside

Can you explain a bit more what do you mean by "it doesn't parse tests"?

(not the person you replied to, but allow me to give a couple of personal annoyances - keeping in mind that they're a couple of years old and things may have improved since) My main problem with Jenkins was that its architecture made i

Concourse: https://concourse-ci.org/ It takes some getting used to, but I really got to love its concepts for resources/inputs/outputs and how they work together to get you actually reproducible builds.

Personally I found a very simple approach that works great for me. In the beginning of the pandemic I tried to reduce social media exposure, to maintain some degree of mental health and reduce distractions. The way I did it was first to rem

Very nice, thanks for sharing! Speaking of free services, one thing I've been looking for with not much luck is a Google groups equivalent. It can be paid as well, just not hosted by Google because I don't trust them to not discon

By the looks of it, yes you're right. This is not a backdoor, this is frontdoor, plain and simple.

A couple of disclaimers first. 1. I've only used monorepo professionally once in a big org and it was SVN based 2. I'm going to look at monorepos from the perspective of git and github The main argument I can think of in favor of

I wasn't planning on watching Social Dilemma, but seeing that it rattled FB enough to issue a "wait, let us explain why they're wrong" statement I think I will watch it. Also, fuck you Facebook. You had multiple chances

Wow, I never expected this to receive any kind of international attention, let alone see it on HN. If this doesn't make me proud of my home country, I don't know what will /s. Given that the witnesses in this case have a tend

Depends on how you define the victim. One could argue that the victims in this case are the people whose profiles had been hacked. As for having full blown security getting in the way of getting stuff done, try replacing "Twitter"

This also has a very nice and simple explanation of the whole thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=996OiexHze0 It's about 1h long, but it's really worth it.

Not a guideline, but a feature I'd like to have: Allow me to disable any kind of indication that someone is talking, not just to me (red dot) but anywhere (blue dot). Not everything needs my attention and having the tray icon change it

But that's just part of the problem though. I want to be able to rely on my system and not have a chance 4 times a day for random things to break (the default frequency based on your link). The argument about "latest == safest&quo
