Genuinely asking here; have you really never heard the phrase "meteoric rise" before?

Because it's 2024 and we're not yet living in the world of WALL-E. I agree it would be nice to weight 300 pounds and float around on a levitating lounge all day doing nothing but sadly we're just not at that point yet.

Personally I pay for search via Kagi, but the other two I don't really care about since I don't use either. I also pay for email, private DNS, storage and a few other "core" services that I use every day that you might r

I would say phrased uncharitably, but factually right on the money IMO. I strongly suspect that if this scaled it would have caused an explosion in the number of landlords while also making property even more expensive because now all of a

As someone who's lived through many, many, many cycles of offshoring and onshoring this is funny take. We have at least 2 maybe even 3 full decades of businesses offshoring to cut costs, then the quality of the work they receive doesn&

You can only fit so many real houses in a given area, after which you're building high density housing and a lot of (I'd even argue most) people don't want to live in. Public transport is key, especially trains that can bypas

Putting aside the fact this lawyer is a scumbag (surprising no one), it really is amazing how bad leakers are at covering their tracks. Almost makes me wonder if there's a market for some kind of "Leaking Agency" where we can

I've been using Stremio for about a year now and have been very happy with it, if I had an Rpi I'd definitely give this a try.

We looked into it, very briefly, and decided that a few hours or even a whole day of downtime per year wasn't really worth the time and cost it would take to mitigate this in our case. If our pipelines happen to fall over, and it also

> Is it just Jen from the IT crowd? Kind of, that's not a bad analogy really. It's like if Jen knew what CI and observability were (huge over simplification but you get the idea).

I've sat by and watched an entire year elapse while we were forced to dispassionately pursue an OKR we knew was leading us nowhere.

Can that only be done in an office?

IMO this is where a comprehensive System Design interview weeds out the hopeless. Minimum 2 hours, don't just use a "design facebook/twitter/insta" scenario because anyone can memorise those, dig into the weeds as a

Proton very clearly states they will happily comply with law enforcement requests, IF it comes from the country they operate in.

I put a mask on, and pay in cash at a public phone. How would you trace me?

A simple-ish workaround here if you want to use email recovery; 1. Use a custom domain for your emails with Proton 2. Set an address @ that domain as the recovery address 3. If you need to recover, simply update your MX records to point els

While it might not be "legally" required (or maybe it is, courts haven't decided yet) it's in 23andme's own best interest to at least take some steps to ensure the technically illiterate users aren't leaving th

As another commenter pointed out elsewhere, they do offer MFA. However from what I can gather it looks like they, like most other companies, don't mandate it's usage. Like you've said though given the kind of data they have t

From what I understand, the hack was due to a large number of people re-using passwords and the company doing nothing to prevent or detect this. Security practices and their ludicrously bad response aside, I cannot fathom why someone would

The applications talked about later in the keynote are maybe more applicable to SRE's or other folks fiddling with lower level kernel stuff. But I guess that's kind of the whole thing about eBPF so maybe in comparison to the targe

To add another voice to the chorus; I highly recommend Obsidian for your notes. It's essentially a really nice Markdown editor with some extra features, all your notes are regular old .md's that you can port anywhere, and by defau

In the interest of appearing professional, I'm trying very hard not to but damn it's a real struggle.

Maybe more of a niche audience given its from SREcon, but this talk by Liz Rice is a good intro for eBPF as well if you're more of a video person - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbkiQhokBBo
