To be fair, for Italians to get a driving license they need to go through a fairly intense driving school (much more intense than in the US). As such, you'll regularly see Italians drive in a "risky" manner because they know

Within the US, SOC2 is the enterprise security compliance program of choice, although the reality is that ISOs, NIST, SOC2, HITRUST are largely overlapping. Because these security frameworks are already checklists, there aren't any tl;

Don't panic. As someone who's done this a few times, this is typical for non pure tech companies. Go looking for people in your company that are using the product or supporting it. Typically this will be customer/client servi

Craft Coffee is great, they ship freshlyb roasted coffee to you, so very convenient. I've given gift cards out for the past 3+ years during the holidays (my mom complained when I said I wasn't getting my father it again). As a bon

I work at a 100-person startup. We currently do 1 week secondary followed by 1 week primary. This comes up every 2.5 months. On-call is 8am-8pm with any overnight pages going to execs. I'll not that we originally had people doing daily

I'll note that they now have a calling tree and it's harder to get a person on the phone. This is fairly recent, in the last year or so I think.

I hadn't seen this until recently. It seems to be pushed by VCs and the tech megacorps, so if you work at a VC-backed startup it's likely in your contract or if you work for one of the bigger tech companies. I believe IBM had this

Take a look at your employment contract (you'll need this anyway when you talk to a lawyer). Many contracts will have clauses about outside work/IP rights etc. The enforcement of these clauses depend on your location (and to some

The main reason handwritten SQL is error-prone is because there's a tendency to have security vulnerabilities, which ORMs automatically protect against. ORMs tend to have better IDE integration so its easier to refactor or errors may b

Send a complaint to your local district attorney with the company CC'd. You should also consider making a formal police complaint (this would be around identity fraud/theft). This wasn't something accidental, but intentional.

It's because of whom the founders are. Jessie Frazelle was a major engineer in containers and a frequent talk giver. Steve Tuck was President and COO of Joyent. Bryan Cantrill is the former CTO of Joyent and co-creater of Dtrace. To ma

This seems to be true in the US as well. Getting exports is a pain, in fact I think during our first finance audit, we had trouble getting monthly exports past a certain date. I know for a fact that our current bank doesn't work with o

I'm honestly surprised that nobody b here has mentioned getting a compliance certificate like a SOC2. Within the US that's what's expected by these security teams. Take a look at Comply: https://github.com/st

Darwin is actually a BSD variant, so it does tend to absorb some features from the rest of the bsds such as dtrace. Darwin is nigh-impossible to get patches into as an outsider ( I vaguely remember a blog post or maybe a talk about the proc

I've used it mainly for technical DR or incident response testing. For non-technical DR testing take a look at FEMA's tabletops as a starting point: https://www.fema.gov/emergency-planning-exercises . You can find

Agreed. The main difference is that development of python 3 didn't stop development on the 2.x branch until 3.4(?) was out. There was also an upgrade path and the ability to support both Python 2 and Python 3 at the same time. Python 3

Honestly python won in large part because perl took over a decade to come out with perl 6. Knowing that there was a backwards-incompatible upgrade on the horizon shortly and having that be true for a decade meant that new projects in perl o

Typically yes. This pattern was more common prior to containers and I think built into Ruby's Capistrano. The main benefit is that rollbacks were _quick_ especially compared to kubernetes or ecs

This seems to be one of the ideas that just comes up again and again in the Java community. While it has its uses, it comes with a free downsides. The biggest is that debugging becomes very difficult, especially as the code becomes complex.

The issue is that Slack and discord are essentially ephemeral verbal discourse AND that they often become the _default_ mode of communication. This isn't bad as a small community, but does limit the growth of these communities. Newcome
