I think it was prorated but am not 100% sure.

I think in your case it’s reasonable. Also a $1.5M contract is likely chump change in that realm. This particular case was in cybersecurity- specifically static analysis of assets, for the purpose of providing a SBOM.

These metrics tend to be bullshit in contracts. For example we had a 6 9 (99.9999%) requirement from a customer for any given 3-6 month period. If we violated that, we owed them their money back (baring the outage wasn’t caused by us - I.e

I don't see this ending well. My fiancé and I have been doing better than most Americans. No debt, relatively high pay - we're pretty happy right now. But we feel like we are stuck. Perhaps its the golden handcuffs, or maybe we&#x

Absolutely, and well stated. The point I was trying to make was the fact that nobody (meaning govt bodies) was willing to make another collider capable of repeating the results. At least not yet ;).

> The only cost is then the electricity and used capacity. Not consumer pricing. So negligible. I don’t think this is valid, as this point seems to ignore the fact that the data center that this compute took place in required a massive i

Hopefully this also introduces standardized auditing of open sourced packages. Just because something is open sourced, doesn’t mean it’s altruistic and not susceptible to malicious actors submitting seemingly innocuous code that gives bad a

Not pip, but we ran into an older version of glibc that had real circular deps. Sorry I don’t remember off the top of my head which one.

We analyze firmware and binaries, amongst other things at my day job. Reconstructing dependency graphs is a necessary part of our day to day. Assuming dependency graphs cant have cycles has shot us in the foot. There are absolutely real cir

Thanks for sharing! Yes things like this would help solve our problems.

Oh my mistake, must have missed that.

Something I didn’t see listed was the lack of a package manager for protos. For example if I want to import some common set of structs into my protos, there isn’t a standardized or wide spread way to do this. Historically I have had to reso

I struggle to see the authors point. His last sentence: > It could have worked, at least in theory, in a world where preserving API compatibility (in a broad sense) is much more common than it clearly is (or isn't) in this one. Is h

Pretty good DNS server if you don't want to get DDOSed easily.

Glad I’m not the only one. As soon as I started using Pyenv for local development I bloated my machine with more versions of python than I could manage. Obviously user error, but it never solved a problem I couldn’t get around with virtuale

I had a severe concussion 18 weeks before finals my 3rd year of college. Crashed hard mountain biking, broke my arm, and smashed my face. For 8 hours I was a broken record so the first hospital I visited sent me off to a trauma center in th

Tell me you’ve only worked in large orgs without telling me you’ve only worked in large orgs. This idea is preposterous for any small organization. Albeit tickets are useful for a variety of reasons; when it comes to crunch time, you genera

This 100%. It’s so infuriating trying to browse search results but not even halfway down the page it just assumes that I have the attention span of a goldfish and that I would rather look at their list of recommendations for videos to watch

The average household income in East Palestine is $40k. Hard to take a comment like this seriously when that’s the case. Given the reality of the situation, they likely wouldn’t see a dime back. Something tells me they can’t afford that kin

While part of me wishes the story were true, as it’s just hilarious thinking about _a toothbrush_ carrying out someone else’s ill will. I am glad it’s not.

We've recently been struggling with BigQuery and various other GCP services (i.e. CloudRun and Pub sub) as it feels like utilizing these services can feel like a minefield of gotcha's. With their documentation, and limits/quo

Shareholders are the primary paying customer, coupled with legal obligations and a wherewithal to act on any sort of litigation. So it’s no wonder why they’re prioritized. I’m not a fan of it, but it’s the lay of the land.

Someone could use a chill pill. But in all seriousness, this point does stand valid in my opinion. Various facets of society react and communicate differently. For example, death threats are just a part of the job for game developers (insan

Is your statement a justification for punishing this researcher or sarcasm of the situation? Hard for me to infer. If the former, then it’s only a matter of time where you are so confused as to why/how your entire nations infrastructur

It seemed like they were blowing smoke with this. How on earth could you feasibly accomplish self-repo if the person parked their car in their garage? Or what if it was booted? Or just simply parked in the woods? So many common scenarios th

Got fired in April. Basically lost my mind after private equity turned our company into a sweatshop. Told my manager I didn’t want to work on a project anymore (albeit in a colorful fashion) after they pressured me to work while I was sick

Do you have any evidence to back up your claims? I have yet to be convinced otherwise.

Got let go a month ago. I had gotten to my frustration limit and wasn't managing it well. Basically have been focusing on mental health in the meantime while applying to some roles here and there. Very grateful for the support I have f
