For people willing to commit insurance fraud putting a few scratches on the lock and door to make it look legit isn't really that much of an effort. Are insurance companies actually conditioning their conclusion based on this kind of evidence?

The real value of a lock that's hard to pick is that it forces the burglar to carry more tools and use noisier, time consuming methods. All of this makes the break-in far more obvious and detectable much faster by neighbors, or anyone really, even the owner.

And you want to make the job harder and riskier for the burglar so the bar is higher for how willing they must be to go through with the job.

Most burglaries are "blind" ones, meaning the burglars have a reasonably good idea of the job's value and difficulty level. So if you have a lot of valuables you have to do your darnedest to raise the job's difficulty: make the break in take time, be noisy, and generally draw attention, or forcing the robbers to leave a lot of evidence behind.

The thing is, for sure we could define some use cases where it's possible to take that general case and make it specific. That's why I gave a concrete example.

I refuse to believe that absolutely every data storage and access in this world is unique.

Everybody believe that it's unique, and that's a different story.

OS vendors also thought their hardware was special and magical a long time ago and yet POSIX was invented and suddenly they were all more or less commoditized.

I feel that we're in the teen years of data storage/data access technologies. And SQL is sort of like dental braces.
The way you handle that is by adding all your tutorials to the test of tests for the compiler. Then, whenever a breaking change happens, you have to update the tutorials for the tests to pass, which isn't difficult since you're probably only talking about minor, incremental changes.
No, but I have worked at companies where it was the standard for expenses. it was accepted at lauaghably few places.

Visa seems ot be everywhere in the UK, i dont know the stats but seems like most debit cards are visa and if i was to guess amongs my friends etc. its something like 75% or more of credit cards with maybe 20% masterdcard and 5% american express dinerclub etc.

That is why the whole thing seemed like a plea to get me to sign up for an amazon mastercard (and also why mastercard were porbably up for doing a deal with amazon in the uk - to increase amrket share).

Why do you think that's the case?

If a developer changes the CI pipeline file to make their PR's code run in `deployment: "production"` instead of `deployment: "test"` doesn't that bypass this?

Edit:

I'll leave my original question here because I think it's an important one but I answered this myself. It depends on which CI provider you're using but some of them do let you restrict specific deployments from being run only on specific branches or by specific folks (such as repo admins).

In the above case if the production deployment was only allowed to run on the main branch and the only way code makes its way into the main branch is after at least 1 person reviewed + merged it (or whatever policy your company wants) then a rogue developer can't edit the pipeline in an unreviewed PR to make something run in production.

Also with deployment specific environment variables then a rogue developer is also not able to edit a pipeline file to try and run commands that may affect production such as doing a `terraform apply` or pushing an unreviewed Docker image to your production registry.
This ruling only just happened, how long did it take you to build this?!

The decline of 'FOSS-friendly' Apple coincides with the re-licensing of many projects under the GPLv3, which is decidedly enterprise-hostile by design. I concur that the developer documentation need improvement.
I was referring specifically to the example above, or at least the jargon I've seen used. And EVERY community is going to have specific language or "Slang".

I mean, even the specific resume example above simply translates to "Worked as a Product Manager on moderately successful project, worked as a Project Manager on random project, consulted with highly successful marketing firm and extremely successfully and profitable co-operative consulting firm on business development. Likes to trade high-risk stocks, puts money into high-risk interest bearing accounts and likes to give random unsecured loans to strangers"

I understand there's a ton of bashing of crypto, but I think that looking at a unknown sub-cultures language and assuming that they are purposely using jargon antagonistic to outsiders is rather closed minded. As someone who dipped their toe in, but still doesn't understand, they have been extremely helpful in explaining the concepts even when I argue against them.

> besides maintaining their CDN and tweaking recommendation engines

But engineers are not product managers tho. I think this is exactly what they were doing.
No, OP(s) premise is also deeply flawed. I'm not an expert, but while there's similarities, these are profoundly different substances. Whereas alcohol only differs by concentration (maybe the release is slightly different, especially if it's eaten, instead of liquid), these stimulants are fundamentally very different.

On the other hand while Amphetamine can be compared to substances like meth or coke (it might actually be closer to cocaine as far as user experience goes), it's also has key differences. Cocaine is generally taken all at once, and the methyl family of amphetamine has specific, more drastic effects. Basically, meth's special, and shoots through barriers in the brain, that normally slow down other substances.

Amphetamine, on the other hand, has a more medium potential for abuse. Also, it's thought that people can generally keep up with therapeutic doses. In other words, while there may be some effect on the brain, you'll eventually reach a point where you're not constantly being drained of neurochemicals. This isn't possible with meth/coke, which is why they prescribe adderall fairly readily, but not meth.

I researched this recently after being prescribed adderall. I've heard that slow release cocaine is a better metaphor than meth, but I think there's probably issues with that too.
Reading through these posts, I had exactly the same thought. Why not have a language that takes the problems with SQL and abstracts them to something that is more easily organized into functions, modules, and packages, corrects some of the semantic problems, integrates well with source control, testing, deployment pipelines, etc. DBT is solving this problem well for data warehouses, but I do not know if a similar tool application databases.

I also did AOC 2021 to learn zig. But I found zig interesting and useful.

As someone with only 18 days more experience than OP it’s a little silly for me to say, but I think OP is getting put off the the normal learning curve of a new language and standard library. The struggle to learn different patterns faded away after not too many more days. Zig is pretty simple, and while the standard library is barely documented, it is pretty well organized and straightforward to understand.

I’m pretty interested to see where zig goes, and I’m hopeful about it.

(As mentioned, zig is a work-in-progress. The final form might be significantly different that what is there now,)

I don't know enough biology to know if the metaphor is apt, but I think he's wrong. Small groups in isolation speciate faster, but that's not the same as evolving faster. I would expect that larger groups spanning many diverse ecological niches would feature greater diversity within the group and are able to explore more evolutionary avenues. Perhaps that's what we see intellectually as well.

A few things:

First, Netflix' games have the same issue as Apple Arcade: the majority are ad-riddled trash. And Apple Arcade has App Store tie-in.

Second, the global numbers are likely to keep Netflix afloat (the same way they seem to for Facebook), but stateside numbers are abysmal compared to emerging services [0]: Netflix boasts 74.02 million subscribers in U.S. and Canada, and HBO Max has 45.2 million domestic (give or take 5 million). Within a year of launch, HBO Max has captured 2/3 the subscription size of Netflix! (Globally, it is barely doing double the numbers of Disney+.) The other competition has proven itself viable in a fraction of the time, and are using their built-in infrastructure to continue to compete. Netflix no longer has any differentiating factor, except that their US adult-targeted content is usually lower quality.

I have a similar story. I had the BAT chorded keyboard back in the 90s/2000s. I tried the Georgi and others to do one-handed chording. I went down the mechanical keyboard rabbit hole only to discover pretty keyboards with poor ergonomics. I currently type on a Kinesis Advantage2, and I love it. I switch to my Wacom Cintiq 16 in my right hand, and my Belkin (now Razer) Nostromo in my left for keyboard shortcuts and macros. I am going to bite on the Charachorder, because it makes sense: let the onboard engine autocorrect and just get the product out to the screen/program. It seems you can create your own layers for coding by language too. I am a beginner in Dvorak (40 wpm), but I switch easily between QWERTY and Dvorak. I am interested in buying their engine and putting it in my Kinesis if at all possible. There's certainly room inside, and others have modded it for other boards. I wish I could just speak my text, but I am self-conscious when I do it, and dictating in public, although more acceptable given everyone is on bluetooth ear plugs, is a generational bias for me (57 yrs. old). Anyway, I'll let you know if it is a wasted of time and money when I get it in April 2022!

Yes, you should think about your domain and requirements, and the technical tradeoffs, before picking a DB technology. Don't just run with RDBMS b/c it has better theoretical modeling capabilities, your customers don't care about that.

For enterprise stuff with relatively low traffic and high amounts of complex ad-hoc queries, RDBMS is without a doubt the best choice. If you have high traffic web services with strict availability and latency requirements, I would seriously consider avoiding RDBMS's as they tend to be difficult to operate and scale with those requirements, and they let you easily do terrible things in that context (e.g. locking behavior, txid exhaustion, etc.).
While the device itself is sloppy, for many organizations it's probably easier to install and less likely to be detected than a software-based attack.

How frequently does IT run scans of what software is running on the server vs how often does IT physically inspect the server? Remember, one of those things means I have to get up out of this chair and the other does not.
> In my personal experience, #2 is a way better way to work. Apps can come and go, but data can last a long time

Exactly. Data is far more valuable than code. We still work with data from literally centuries ago. Most programs written even 10 years ago are probably no longer in use. I would be surprised if the oldest code still doing something useful was more than 20 or so years old.

My personal taste agrees with this based on viewing their catalogue, but i'd like to see evidence that consumers agree, maybe the upcoming earnings report will show cracks in the foundation. Netflix has seemed pretty barren for a while and in trouble imo but then something like Squid Game becomes a global phenomenon and you realize that they have 213 million subscribers globally and likely a pretty good understanding at this point of what drives retention/churn.

Never head of Sysbox before. At a first glance, the comparison table in their GitHub repo and on their website[1] has a number of inaccuracies which makes me question the quality of their engineering:

— They claim that their solution has the same isolation level ("4 stars") than gVisor, unlike "standard containers", which are "2 stars" only (with Firecracker and Kubevirt being "5 stars). This is very wrong - as far as I can tell, they use regular Linux namespaces with some light eBPF-based filesystem emulation, while the vast majority of syscalls is still handled by the host kernel. Sorry, but this is still "2 stars" and far away from the isolation guarantees provided by gVisor (fully emulating the kernel in userspace, which is at the same level or even better than Firecracker) and nowhere close to a VM.

— Somehow, regular VMs (Kubevirt) get a "speed" rating of only "2 stars" - worse than gVisor ("3 stars") and Firecracker ("4 stars"), even though they both rely on virtually the same virtualization technology. If anything, gVisor is the slowest but most efficient solution while QEMU maintains some performance advantage over Firecracker[2]. These are basically random scores, it's not a good first impression–if you do a detailed comparison like that, at least do a proper evaluation before giving your own product the best score!

— They claim that "standard containers" cannot run a full OS. This isn't true - while it's typically a bad idea, this works just fine with rootless podman and, more recently, rootless docker. Allowing this is the whole point of user namespaces, after all! Maybe their custom procfs does a better job of pretending to be a VM - but it's simply false that you can't do these things without. You can certainly run a full OS inside Kata/Firecracker, too, I've actually done that.

Nitpicking over rating scales aside, the claim that their solution offers large security improvements over any other solution with user namespaces isn't true and the whole thing seems very marketing-driven. The isolation offered by user namespaces is still very weak and not comparable to gVisor or Firecracker (both in production use by Google/AWS for untrusted workloads!). False marketing is a big red flag, especially for something as critical as a container runtime.

Anyone who wants unprivileged system containers might want to look into rootless docker or podman rather than this.
