Fortunately there are a lot of other terraform deployment and state management systems, such as Spacelift and Scalr.

I say this as someone who hasn't professionally used PHP in about a decade, but still has a few open source projects: the arguments against PHP are silly at best, especially this particular argument. With modern IDEs it's easy to

I'd rather have the readability of the first command than the "efficiency" of your example.

> Users can't block ads in an app. Users can't block telemetry. Users can't prevent tracking, at least without help from the platform vendor. Adguard does a pretty good job of blocking these things inside of apps.

THIS! Just make it so the third party apps only work for reddit gold users, or have limitations for non-gold users, and now they've converted a bunch of the apollo users into paying members. Instead they're lying and slandering pe

I completely disabled greylisting to try and resolve that, but it is another good point on why gmail kind of sucks for people not on gmail.

Don't forget that they're getting their tokens from an OAuth endpoint. In otherwords it's already tied to a specific user. Reddit could have simply said "third party api support is only for reddit gold users".

Huh, I've had no issues with AWS IAM or Auditors when it comes to Terraform. I've managed compliance at multiple startups too.

I honestly don't understand where you're coming from. If a devops engineer can set things up on eks for people to launch without thinking of those things, what's stopping that same engineer from doing similar for ecs? When I

When Kenna was bought by Cisco I never got a box to ship my laptop back (despite asking repeatedly). Instead the Cisco team bricked all of the laptops remotely. I had only worked there for two months, so this brand new rather expensive lapt

Yeah but there are better box fan filters out there. You can do exactly what OP did with his cube and throw a box fan on top of it instead of the duct fan, and with the higher airflow from the box fan combined with the exact same filter s

Oh that's easy- this was the compliance officer, and by showing that he raised concerns over this he may be able to claim that he did his job as best he could under the circumstances. I'd need to see the rest of the context, but t

They had assurances that they wouldn't just have it ripped from them, are being given time to find a replacement, and are engaging multiple avenues to do so. They are having absolutely no downtime from this process. You're making

I had a very similar experience with a company that advertises on HN quite a bit. It turns out the company had actually split in two, and all the competent managers left to join the new company. It was amazing how much the VP and CEO would

Yeah at this point I view Amazon Prime as a streaming service with an extremely odd set of perks. It's also interesting the various bundles- I found out about the Grubhub+ one, which is normally $9.99 a month and is free with Prime. If

You're making a huge assumption with the "unpaid free time" part of this. A lot of Rust development is driven by corporations who are directly paying engineers to work on it, and the rust foundation has a lot of money coming

Most of those "community" forums are not monitored by actual staff. Google uses "communities" as a way to get free tier one support out of the community, and to save even more money they just never bothered with any tier

According to the engineer who leaked that ssh thing (which was years ago) they were live patching and pushing updates to the cars over ssh. It was essentially full root. That said this was also super early in the company history, so this mi

Something can be effective, especially more effective than a placebo, without being a cure. We have many "treatments" for all sorts of illnesses where the treatment isn't a cure. SSRIs for depression are a treatment, not a cu

I love the full stack deep learning crew, and took their course several years ago in Berkeley. I highly recommend it. One thing that always blows my mind is how much it is just not worth it to train LLMs in the cloud if you're a startu

The vast, vast majority of issues with YAML can be solved by quoting all strings. Then a lot of the type inference magic goes away.

This has been a problem with so many cryptographic systems over the years. For various reasons they prefer to be backwards compatible over being secure. As the best practices shift, the default values of these applications stay the same. I
