I had just started a new job and my manager handed me a project to implement the SP side of SAML into our monolith. He explicitly said, I looked at the docs and don't want to deal with that headache. Fuck, that was a pain in the ass. S

I had to implement a SP SAML logic at a previous job. The customer who wanted it just kept telling us to enable some apache mod and it works, except when you have a java fat jar without Apache, you have to add your own endpoints and we had

I worked for a large retail company that had mainframes, our own DCs, and a large cloud presence. There was and still is an ongoing project to retire the mainframes. From what I heard, the mainframes don't always solve the problems we

I agree. I use a roku instead, but same result. I used the apps on my TV for a bit when I got it, but they would fail, like it had a memory leak if I watched something for over 3 hours. I don't trust telling the TV to disable wifi, so

In the late 2000s, I worked for an enterprise software company. Turns out many smaller customers that needed our software were Windows based and ran our Tomcat based software on Windows servers. The larger companies that had dedicated Unix

I recently got a masters in software engineering, not that this means I've mastered the discipline, but I think it set a decent idea of what is important. Here's a incomplete list of topics that I is worthwhile: Creating a data sc

The common mantra of the cloud is still at play here. It is just other peoples computers. Yes, you can attach persistent storage, EBS or Elastic Block Storage, to an instance. Or if you are worried about the boot drive, your golden image co

That would be the most economical, but it might be bureaucratically easier for a general to tell a unit to figure this out all in-house than deal with the vendor which may need new contracts to ask for these details.

That works when the teacher is technically minded. My wife is staff for an art department at a community college and many of the professors don't even know how to create spreadsheets. Having them switch from D2L to Zoom to Hangouts fro

I would love to see this paper you mention. My wife loves all things green. Our house is filling up with house plants, which I am OK with as long I am not in charge of them. And the more she plant outside, the less I have to mow. But anyway

This just pushed the problem further down the stack. You should have keys to unlock vault when it is restarted. How do you secure those keys?

You're right, it's only 19 years old. But it might have a cross platform C++ library for parsing PDFs that is even older that was used on OS 9 and other platforms.

I believe you still pay Cloudflare costs, but the traffic between Cloudflare and B2 is free on both platforms. But it might be worth double-checking the fine print.

That is amazing. I have '80 CX500 myself which I have neglected to sync the carbs on. I just bench sync the two when I need to pull the carbs off.

Don't get me wrong, I would love fiber. USI has been laying down fiber across Minneapolis at a very fast rate over the last 10 years. I think almost half the city is covered now. But I really like my neighborhood and I don't want

I understand that the internet still sucks in rural US. I have a friend in a similar situation as you. But having someone proclaim that tech can't be done outside of SF because of lack of internet is dismissing so much of the country.

Some do. I have a friend who is a jeweler. Almost all of the gems she buys, diamond or other, are either lab-made or recycled gems. But she is an exception to the rule. She buys from a supplier that specializes in this sort of thing for sma

I also dislike the book. As someone who loves motorcycles and fixing an old Honda myself, it is something I want to love. To me, the protagonist is trying to show how smart he is after reading some intro to philosophy book.

Oh yeah, at the backup company, we worked on a Legal Hold feature where if an employee was tagged as being involved in a company lawsuit, all their backup files would be held indefinitely. You can delete shit after learning of a lawsuit, on
