Prestige has been replaced by money, I think. It used to be Google could pay a little below top tier since they had such a sterling reputation and interesting work to be done. Now they pay outrageous sums to secure their position and optimi

Pulumi and Terraform are both open source and have substantial features that aren't even in CDK (As noted in a comment above).

So? Cloudformation is "native" to AWS and it's absolutely awful to use compared to Terraform.

>How can a team justify not being on AWS? You can do the exact same thing with Pulumi and it's cross platform. Also, in my experience, CDK is an absolute nightmare if you like running things locally and testing on your own machine

It's a way to disguise your own ineptitude and limits of knowledge as sage advice or learned wisdom. Notice how that comment didn't answer his question or provide any extra context, but it still made the poster appear to be an aut

Exactly. The positivist drive to quantify and accumulate "data points" about everything as though life is just an optimization problem is dangerous and only serves entrenched forces. Quantification is a means to control. Some thin

I am really really grateful I am not this kind of person. Not everything needs to be quantified and analyzed. I'm glad OP had fun with the exercise but this drive to amass data will only lead to human suffering and oppression down the

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it We are working on getting the images to generate on the fly but GPU compute time is expensive so for now we are doing batch uploads of the images

I'm working on creating a face-to-wojak model using PyTorch CycleGan/Pix2Pix [0] and found some of my outputs to be outrageous yet somehow relatable. People are into it so thought I'd share on HN [0] https://github

I really wish there was a professional organization or - dare I say it! - a union which represented this point of view of SWE. I like what I do but I hate how much of work and tech culture creeps into your life, as though it's the end

The endless mission markers and incoming phone calls you CAN'T ignore (seriously, the fixers will just blab at you forever even if you don't press T) is what really put me off. I got ten hours in and said forget it

To be fair, you can grind a bunch in Act 1 Watson but you can't leave the vicinity of the district. The bridges and exits are blocked off GTA3 style and if you try to head to the badlands the game literally flashes a warning and tells

Deus Ex, especially the first, actively rewards you with experience, items, and new missions if you explore. I can think of three unique areas / paths you can explore in the 2nd mission (Hell's Kitchen) just off the top of my head

It's true it's simple right now but I think a wrapper around it can be helpful, especially for those who may be new to data recovery. I am hoping to add in the ability to format the disk properly so as to do a non-obvious 'wi

That's good - I was going for the 'hax' angle I guess. Feel free to make a fork that incorporates sound effects!
