And I got a used managed switch from Amazon. It was neatly packaged, but no plastic, strips etc, and the IP was different, and default user/pass didn't work. Factory reset worked though, so I didn't want to send it back and w

I've worked on a service like this. 800k lines of PL/SQL and Java stored procesures (running inside the database, so you could call Java from PL/SQL and vice versa), powered by triggers. * Testing is god-awful. To test a simp

Also one of the service teams might need to change their schema, which the reporting team needs to adjust their process to handle that. That's fine, but they need to know that in advance, and then they might have a backlog of other thi

I disagree. If you have test environments only tracking "current" and "desired" doesn't hold up, then you would need different diffs for each environment. Making sure they all apply the same migrations in the same

I tried to find the real URL behind an AMP page to bookmark, but couldn't find it. I think they've added a tiny (i) since then, but they're really trying to hide it.

With subscription based software you effectively are paying them for bugfixes. They just also (potentially) give you new features to justify it.

Same reason I hate the MacBook TouchBar. It distracts, requires looking at it, does not give good feedback and is context dependent (buttons move around).

You have to be careful if you use the "rollup" way, and the event_id is assigned by a sequence. If you have two transactions, T1 and T2, and T1 inserts event_id 1000, T2 inserts event_id 1001, but T2 commits first and you run the

From the post it looks like that's what he does now. Fastly uploads files to S3 (you can specify how often), and then a Lambda function is run per file to aggregate the files into view-counts. How is this different from yours?
