Exactly. This blog post is like saying "Don't eat at this restaurant because the bathroom sign says "Employees must wash hands" which means the waiters can throw hot soup in your face, and there's nothing you can do

There's no specific law or regulation referenced in the complaint. This is just grandstanding. Facebook PR flaks will gladly reply with a generic corporate non-answer and that will be the end of it.

Whoa errors! * S3 is not FTP. It's more like static web hosting and storage. * VPC is not a "colocated rack" as it doesn't offer physical placement of hardware. Amazon VLAN would be a better name. It's just private

Yes, the ideas are applied to CS in very practical way. For example, in order to have a fault-tolerant web service you have to assume every component and server in your stack can fail at any time so you have to design automated failover int

That stance can also backfire in the form of "OK you're too busy to help me so I'll hire outside contractors to do it instead." which leads to a bigger mess to sort out later. I try to at least offer a partial solution.

This is easy advice to a single DevOp who completely controls their own AWS account, but often there is a team of devs and ops with elevated access to the same AWS account and not all of them understand AWS IAM access control, so they put a

The real mistake here is using your account owner API key in your code, when you shouldn't use that key for anything ... In fact you should delete the account owner access key!!! Otherwise you may have used the key for a Power User or

I don't understand. If I write a server app that listens for client connections, why not daemonize that? Is systemd doing all of the listening then invoking the server app if a client connects?

The attack vector would be malware binary crafted to have the same MD5 sig as a popular already trusted app. But of course once the badware is caught virus scanners could check other properties aside from MD5 sig to flag a bad binary. I ass

When you learn to play guitar you learn about the main staple of blues music, the Pentatonic Scale, a simple palette of just 5 notes that you can follow all the way up the guitar neck (or piano, voice, or bass for that matter) B.B. King has

For non-musicians, here's some terminology behind this: There are 7 natural notes in (western) music: A, B, C, D, E, F, G (the white keys on a piano keyboard) ... plus 5 accidental notes that half-way between: A#, C#, D#, F#, G# also k

Good point. Software amps and stompboxes like those in Garageband that simulate classic guitar gear are worlds cheaper, more mobile, and much easier to manage your presets than the actual classic gear. A Fender '68 reverb stompbox is a

As long as Microsoft has big customers all-in on Windows, and there are many, so too will Microsoft remain Windows. You can compete with free for as long as free is not what the big players want in their IT operation.
