Fascinating read. Of course I'm no big business but for the last 20 years I've done it like this for non-critical stuff: - NS Records at 86400 - A and CNAME at 3600 - 1-2 days before moving stuff to other infra (ISP, DNS r

And on the other hand there are many (dozens!) of us who are sick of Android and the phones never getting any security patches if you buy from a random well-known brand, or on the other side just the possibility of buying directly from Goog

I had a coworker who, in planning poker, every time someone said "We just need to..." switch the number he originally picked for the next higher one. Very effective way to get people to actually think about what could go wrong. An

I have no idea what the point seems to be, of course it's just anecdata but as a German, every single person I know who went medical school (if you want to call it that way) wanted to become a doctor and all the others went to study wh

Been a while since I finished but I wouldn't call it engineering, based on these (maybe) arbitrary criteria: - you're mostly only doing the slightly? easier math courses - zero physics and the signal processing stuff I'

Yeah, but you could also just assume some 100-120 down with 30-40 up. Still same "ballpark" for me, and yet better than the upload of my official 50/10 that is actually 60/12 or so.

Honestly never seen this in the supermarkets I frequent. The slidey glass panels on top of the actual chest freezers on the other hand.. feels like every time I visit some customer left one open, but I've seen shops have automatically

Yes, and repeatedly people point out that high dozens or low hundreds should be enough but they have thousands (allegedly). I think the point you are missing that especially tech people might have been using twitter for 10 years like a publ

Don't think it has much to do with the tech industry. If it's a 5€ thing for a shop you have to get to first that might actually eat up the benefits already. (I'm in Europe, if I have to go to the city center I'd actuall

Call me overly sensitive but I absolutely hate about 50% of the socks when I touch them. I can't really put it down on material or texture, but they just feel wrong. In my hand or on my feet.

Maybe I'm overly sensitive but I get mad whenever I see or hear the water bottle thing. I hate these water bottles and I sure as hell won't carry one with me. And in the office it's the worst. If everyone had the same one how

That may actually depend on which version of RHEL and in which decade the kernel was released... But yeah, that's more to blame the org that won't update and not on RH to provide weird backport kernels for a decade.

I don't like calling them squatters if you don't know what they're doing and I'm pretty sure you can't actually tell if they're 100% inactive. For example at a time I had zero public activity on bitbucket but w

I use duckdns and the only service I'm accessing through that CNAME is ssh, which checks host keys, so it doesn't have to be a problem.

Then again turnover for salespeople is often so fast that just doing 2 'good' years is enough, they move on and the company then needs to find a new salesperson AND new customers.

I don't remember the specifics, but Dart didn't really have a good story when it was invented. It was this Google (red flag 1) language that was targeting JS (red flag 2 at the time) and while some few people I had talked to liked

I dunno, my snarky answer would probably be: Just as if they'd test for A, but you actually need to be good at B. I've not been to any school in the US and I don't have a PhD, so all these acronyms like GPA only have a vague

True, but on any other platform you'd just sideload it. State sanctions do not apply to people doing things in private, for the most part.

Aren't those just nitpicky details, though? When I was going to the office I'd usually get up, bathroom, clothes, out the door (I'm a shower-at-night person). Alarm clock at 7:30 when I need to leave at 7:40 wasn't uncom

Sounds like a smart and easy solution, but how do you think this will have any remote chance of being doable? Your gadget communicates with the outside world, let's assume HTTP+TLS. Ok, so you need to MITM it. Does it speak plaintext?

And a terrible idea because the users are not at fault, but the developers of the app. And in this case it might crash so they'd only report "app crashes on startup", if at all.

Maybe that's lost in the brevity of answers of the people you talked to, but some things I know I only have fun doing when I'm (moderately) good at it. Talking to someone in a different language and having to think about every sec
