I've heard the same thing from cryptography authorities in regard to rolling your own encryption and it makes sense to me.
Having specialized knowledge opens your eyes to all the gotchas and gottahaves that most people wouldn't think about. While you certainly can take the time to set everything up exactly the way it should be and keep it updated, I'd rather spend my time doing/thinking about other stuff and am happy to pay the $120/year or whatever to let someone (vetted) else deal with it.
That's a great metaphor. I think your "do they get excited" test is likely going to fail for a number of neurodiverse folks nervous about their big interview for the pro Smash circuit in exactly the same way. They've bled the same way but they're more likely not to pass your filter, which is the problem.

But you need a filter for exactly the reason you described, so the mystery is what kind of filter lets in the smash experts who best contribute to your team and not just the ones who get excited in the right way in conversation. And that's a flippin' hard problem, hard like learning to take priority into account. What the hell, Fox's blaster has transcendent priority? How is that even a thing?
It seems to have a very limited scope of just managing services. I sort of like that systemd is more tightly integrated with Linux and for example listens on netlink for network changes, or device hotplug events, or on input events for (power) button events, and allows to reconfigure the system based on changes dynamically, etc.
Both Azure and GCP let you run arbitrary containers in a serverless fashion. GCP Cloud Run is per-request too.
Amazon has gone one step past that and made the shovels expensive too. The fear of buying a computer has made them billions.
Good hiring managers will recognize that everyone doesn't have to like everyone. Work isn't a social club, it's a business in the market of delivering products. If candidates aren't measured on a metric of their capability to deliver and instead is measured on their metric as a drinking buddy, your company needs better managers.
I've seen a lot of people post how they were unable to delete their accounts due to what seemed like obstruction on Blizzard's end.

CanadaPost is resetting all user passwords now due to a similar breach [1].

"The cause appears to be that login and password credentials stolen in external privacy breaches unrelated to Canada Post were used to access individual Canada Post accounts. This is possible when users reuse their credentials on several websites to avoid having to remember different passwords."

I'm not sure how they plan to prevent users from just reusing another password, however perhaps this education will help.

> So long as Blizzard takes advantage of US resources to run their business in China, they should espouse many of the same morals as the the US.

They also use Chinese resources to run their business (I.e, all the money they make there), it's a real melting pot of morals here.
I'm mixed on this... as a developer I just want something that works, has decent interfaces and abstracts away so I can care a lot less about it. SystemD does most of this for me.

Also, echoed in another comment, I'd just assume use Docker and/or K8s and/or dokku for most of the services I write anyway. Frankly, I care about writing the applications and services that solve problems for me, I don't want to spend as much time on system administration or CI/CD infrastructure as I already to.

In the end, it does a better job at most of the problem space in most ways compared to the alternatives. I have to google for it any time I actually interact with it anyway, which is what I did with older initd systems, so I'm not really that enthusiastic one way or the other.

People reusing passwords and email adresses is a known problem and not rare at all. So deal with it, i.e. you need to make sure that your service can not be affected by a simple leak. Not doing so means putting the security of your users and their experience with your product into the hands of other people (everyone who knows the email and password combination of your user).

Ideally, being susceptible to a leaked password-email-combination should be considered gross negligence.

That's an excellent read and gives me much to think about. In particular, I need to reassess my understanding of Facebook's role in political discourse.
They seem to have a flawed core assumption – that everyone is hell-bent on maximizing their personal wealth. In other words, every person will dedicate their entire intellect toward the goal of making money. This doesn't really match up with reality (thank goodness).
> did you actually try Elm for a real world project?

I'm actually writing Elm at work and we have two separate Elm apps in production.

YMMV but Elm with elm-graphql has been the most productive and confident I've ever been writing frontend code.
I do not think it is a job, but yes, a lot of it are chores. Sometimes you derive pleasure from it, but other times you are just tired, hungry, without idea, the store is overcrowded with nervous people (particularly around christmas) the kid does not want anything and you really really just want to go home watch a movie or read pointless hacker news.

The romanticism of "enchanted work" and "making a magical experience for your very own children" is not realistic expectation. You don't have those magical feelings around activities and duties that happen with regularity. First, second time yes, eleventh time less so. Plis while the kids enjoy gifts, they are not really magical to them. Especially around christmas, they get more toys then they are able to play with.

And it really seems to me that those who romanticise child caring familly activities the most are either the ones engaged in them the least or the ones having ideological reasons. Stay at home mothers with no hobbies and whose life's centers children to the point of excusing everything else are the least romantic and the most pragmatic/mundane about it all - even as their only topic is the kid.
I'd just say it's generally harder. Anyone exposed to the American justice system probably has a higher rate of mental health issues, combined with the financial stress most ex-cons face. It's not like people who go to prison develop some new bad behavior. Anyone under these burdens is more likely to exhibit negative behaviors.
I realize they dropped it but it's not stopping everyone from referencing it every time there's negative publicity.

I would say there is some lucky with becoming extremely wealthy, but in general there is a pretty easy formula to becoming wealthy if you're smart. Invest a decent portion of your income into index funds and live below your means. On an engineer's salary it isn't hard to become a millionaire by the age of 40 even with modest savings.

The FAQ on seller help pages (at least in Europe) specifically says that they track commingled inventory by having their warehouse storage logic assign units from different sellers always into separate bins.

There was recently a bug in nftables, that caused some configurations to not load at all. But I'm not aware of anything iptables related. I don't think systemd handles iptables at all internally, it's just another service.
Customers are also to blame, when comparing the costs of two services they tend to look at the cost of an instance hour, or lambda execution and often don't look at transfer costs.

Even if a cloud provider had competitive transfer costs they likely wouldn't attract any new customers and would have less margin left over to subsidize the main cost customers look at, $ per instance hour.

The less attention is paid to transfer costs the better for AWS/GCP/Azure. Why hasn't a spot-market for transfer been introduced? Same reason why I can't sell my unused home internet bandwidth to my neighbors, the money is in controlling the means of transportation/communication and the providers want to keep as tight a control on that as possible.

Just an observation, frat houses do focus very heavily on mob mentality, while hipsters are just a trend group. No one is going to get lectured by their fellow hipsters about being insufficiently loyal to the hipster brotherhood. Hipsters don't organize and intentionally seek to forge mob mentality and loyalty obsession. That is a significant difference just considering human psychology.

> I'm just mostly in opposition of the concept that IMs turn conversations into addiction

Why are you so opposed to it?

Yes, IM does provide a lot of value and most people will not become addicted. Yes, other smartphone uses are certainly more problematic for most people. But searching for "SMS addiction" yields quite a bunch of hits, with a lot of them from before the smartphone era. This indicates it to be indeed a problem for some people.

Each case in the self help group for excessive screen based media consumption I visit seemed to have its own unique flavor. Don't think there was anyone with a heavy and exclusive focus on IM among them, yet. Probably cause the audience of this particular program is mostly male. There probably also aren't that much such cases in general. But I can totally see this being the addictive "substance" for some. And heavy users should watch out for detrimental effects on other parts of their life.
So going on 10 billion humans don't have anything to do with it? A large part of the habitable land covered in agricultural fields, polar caps melting, forecasts of 2 degrees increase in temperature by the end of the century, its just all a coincidence?

Military action does not necessarily mean direct conflict. It can include such things as military projection, like placing additional forces in neighboring friendly countries.

The threat of nuclear armaments is another question entirely, one that needs careful evaluation. It's still possible to have a cold war - or even a hot war- with purely conventional weapons.

> I haven't regretted it once

Did you know that the problem with discrimination is not that the person doing the discriminating may suffer? Your experiences are quite irrelevant here.

> Just so I'm getting this straight, in a setting where your entire goal is to make a company want to work with you every day, it's discrimination to turn you down because you did not make them want to work with you? Listen, companies have their own cultures, and if you're not a fit to that culture, bringing you on runs the risk of ruining the culture they have been building and making their employees quit. I turn down every single person who acts in a way that convinces me I do not want to deal with them day in and day out, and I haven't regretted it once. Sure, we probably miss some good people, but we have a specific culture in place that we all enjoy, and I don't want to feel uncomfortable or have to walk on egg shells around my team.

I'm sorry that women and blacks make you uncomfortable but they have rights too. You don't mind jumping to conclusions, don't you?

> You may just be rude in an interview,

No, you clearly don't.

> To blame the interviewer for your behavior, whatever the reason, is outrageous.

They didn't, they blamed the interviewer for the discrimination.

> I think interviews aren't the best way to find out if someone is a going to be a good engineer,

Not everyone thinks so, causing systemic discrimination against those bad at selling themselves.

> but to be a good team member, you have to have good interactions with the team.

During interview situations? I don't think so.
I had experience in Quartz (BofA cloud), and deploying is 100 times easier than AWS, everything is automated. Imagine building a cloud service where you trust all your clients, and all must share the same information if they have the correct auth, what I trying to say is that their use-case actually made it simpler, that's where the savings in software had came from.

The Elm community is actually very welcoming. Not sure where you read about that reputation.

So you can go there, ask those questions and see if the above are true or not.

Not sure how to address them in a more constructive way.
Yeah, I think you want to tell different people different things.

You want to tell poor people to take responsibility for their own success, because that's the best way to motivate them.

But you also want to tell those running things that they have a huge impact on poor people's success, and things like better public schools would go a long way. Because if the people running things shrug and say "those poor people are responsible for their own success" then systemic inequalities will persist way longer than they do in places like, say, Finland that have widespread, high quality public education.

I'm personally curious if the amount of profit is being overstated. My guess is that video game publishers in China grow to similar quality of western publishers and Chinese nationalism means the gamers from which Blizzard is hoping to glean their "profits" turn to supporting China's home-grown games.

>The shut off is a result of acute climate change and dry conditions that have affected the state.

No, no, nope. They are shutting off power to aged infrastructure. This is the one time a global warming culprit is using global warming to gain sympathy. They refuse to update extremely aged and damaged power lines. The same lines that can fall due to normal hazardous weather. Newer ones are not in as much risk.

"Military action" here specifically refers to a buildup of precautionary forces in close proximity to China. The mere presence of those forces would give China pause.

Of course, if we wait too long to do so, then a buildup like that would only provoke China, not contain it.

Slightly off-topic but I am delighted by the generally non-abrasive way this thread is going. Dialogue is good!

I realized another way that would work for you guys (but is out of your hands) is fighting a court case about this. You'd be legally compelled to tell the truth and very screwed if you deny but then it comes out there is logging or mining going on. It's not ironclad but it is how most VPNs end up being considered 'solid'.

I work around RF sources professionally. I'm intensely interested in any biological effect of the radiation I work around. I have access to journals through work and my old university, and I read primary sources with great interest (and some knowledge, being an electrical engineer). I have yet to find any credible link between gigahertz RF and health problems (except the neck problems that come from staring at a phone).

I feel like the most damning lack of evidence is the lack of correlation between cell phone adoption and the purported ill effects. In the last 20 years pretty much the whole world started holding RF transmitters up to their head, from basically zero beforehand. If there was an effect, it would be epidemic.

Yes but #2 applies to everybody wanting to sell into the US market as well. Who is going to make Hitler references, use gendered language, avoid having a Code of Conduct, spread 9/11 truthers or be racist, sexist, ect and expect to sell in that market?
