Definitely also a strong possibility. I wish I had paid more attention during the AWS one earlier to see what other things looked like on there at the time.

Yeah the graph for that one looks exactly the same shape. I wonder if they were depending on some azure component somehow, or maybe there were things hosted on both and the azure failure made enough things failover to AWS that AWS couldn&#x

Delightful! I will have to send this to my friends who are spreadsheet-heads (affectionate)

Oh that is a thing of beauty!

Without commenting on the appropriateness of what they did, the author doesn't say they did anything like a sweep. It looks like they were manually poking a few things with dig and ping, not firing up nmap.

I'm working on learning to sightread on bass, and wanted to gamify it. Unfortunately rocksmith doesn't seem to have a sheet music view, so I'm trying to write something that will take the input from my audio interface and put

It reminds me of the Calvin and Hobbes strip where the dad jokes that throwing out junk mail makes him a terrorist. Running your own software on your own device? That's hacker talk.

I can't remember exactly, but I think there was some kind of light story element to "The New Way Things Work" Edit: just noticed the bit about not reliant on pictures, that rules that one out. I recommend it regardless, but m

Oh this is fantastic! I'm giving a talk in about a month at work on how to use the python type system in useful ways to catch more bugs before runtime, and this seems like a great point to throw in there as an aside at the very least!

Just to make sure I'm understanding footnote one correctly: it shows up (sometimes before and hopefully every time now) as a copilot event in the log, and there's no corresponding sharepoint event? From a brief glance at the O365

Yeah, otherwise I'd end up with 9000 tabs. I use firefox and make use of the tagging system there, it's nice.

Super cool! One of the things on my to-do list is some articles I have bookmarked about people who do something similar with org-mode. They use it to take notes, and then have plugins that turn those notes into slides or blog posts (or othe

Yeah, people are being snarky and saying it's obvious, but it was new to me! I guess I'm not staring at base64 all that often. It's a neat trick though, now I'm going to pay attention next time I have an opportunity to u

I've tried several different language learning apps, and the one I stick with is always the one with the best gamification even if it's not the #1 for things like explanation quality. It's all about what you'll actually

I got to work on research in my previous job which was a lot of fun. Ultimately the company pivoted to a direction which was less interesting to me (which I don't blame them for, you need to build something people actually want to buy

My main concern is manifest v3, I would be incredibly annoyed if I had to switch to a browser that broke ublock.

In some cases like the Air Canada one where the courts made them uphold a deal offered by their chatbot it'll be "accurate" information whether the company wants it to be or not! Not not everything an LLM tells you is going t

Yeah I'm skeptical. > It's standard practice for airlines to offer refunds or credits when prices drop after you book Why would they do that? Unless there's some regulation forcing them to I can't imagine a company wo

I think this will vary largely based on individual opinion. Many vegetarians will feel the same way as you of course. I'm currently trying to minimize my meat consumption where feasible based on some other factors, for several years in

Now I'm trying to remember where I read the story about somebody who was in a programming class and was writing some program that took user input, and figured that it should be smart enough not to repeat curse words. So they started wr

Ooh, I had a coworker who had one with zoidberg dancing once, though it seems to be dead now so maybe he didn't renew the domain. He probably used ascii.live!
