I agree that Hashi's approach to Terraform is “if there's a workaround, we won't fix it” I don't see Terraform as hard to use for DRY stuff, we have fully adopted Terraform, we now have 100+ modules that are used in more than 20+ AWS accounts with no major issues, these modules are opinionated and are mostly just plug and play for the teams that use them.

Pulumi is great, but you need to really trust your people to write stuff with Pulumi, in our case most teams can just grab a module, submit a pull-request with the values they want and it gets reviewed by a member of the infrastructure team, if everything looks ok then it's merged and the infra gets deployed/changed.

Even with that simple workflow we have issues with devs misunderstanding some concepts, even devs that have been using Terraform for months, it's not a simple tool to use, I would be worried about them having to use Pulumi for the same things.

It might just be an issue of scale though, we have a gigantic dev team and are riddled with regulations, so Terraform is the perfect fit for us, and again, we don't have DRYness issues, nothing obvious at least.
Count me as someone who has both in their threat model.

Yeah, the investment is showing. I just installed a UDR at my parents place, and it's awesome. Provides not only the UDM functionality, but also VOIP or cameras out of the box - with everything in a fully managed state.

Some amount of flooding is expected in Kaccha/Katcha Doaba land, but this level of flooding was very anomalous due to Climate Change plus some questionable urban planning.

Just the opposite. What this would normalize is app developers no longer be able to depend on location data being accurate, which would destroy the location data sales market by turning it into a market for lemons.

What you propose, simply yelling at developers to stop requesting unneeded permissions, would have no useful effect. They won't change. And most customers won't care and will blindly click accept no matter what if they think they have to to access their game.

Never let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Assume that other actors in the world will respond the way they usually do, not the way you think they should. That is the way to get things done.

I think that's begging the question, in a way. There are probably ways to modify the "hazing" to be equally effective but less hazardous. In my mind, the physical demands are just a means of testing mental fortitude; once you've selected ideal (and physically healthy) candidates, improving their physical conditioning is relatively trivial.

If anything, adding additional monitoring, supervision, and drug testing should be in line with the stated goals of Hell Week.
This is the first time I've heard compelling use of cryoto-coins, and it's actually a _great_ one.

So many life-savings have been completely lost due to political effups, it makes me happy to see some way for people to safe-guard against inept governments.

One question I have though (I don't know much about crypto stuff), is how stable these "stablecoins" are, and how? Is it easy to trade back to real money?
I've heard good things about MikroTik?

Interestingly, it appears women are more susceptible to ionizing radiation than men. E.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6509159/

FFS. I forgot about that.
I don't see part-time dev work advertised as often as it is available. I've been working part-time for a few years, and the way I've found jobs is one of:

- convert a full-time job to part-time

- work with a fractional placement agency like https://www.forward.id/

- talk about the possibility of part-time in your first conversation with a potential employer (saves everyone a lot of time)

That said, I think they're still hard to find (and land). I made

https://polyfill.work

to try to address this problem for myself. I want to just say how much I want to work, how much I want to make, and what I like to do, then get emails when something that fits comes up. It's an ongoing work in progress though and will take more testing to get right.

There's a HackerNews user, goes by the handle Chris2048. And I just don't know what his problem is you know? Back in my day we had a solution for those types of people. If he wasn't hiding behind the internet I bet he wouldn't be so tough.

Just imagine if we knew who he was and he couldn't hide like that, wouldn't that be great? I recommend you all go look up his posts. That's Chris2048 on HackerNews, have a really good look at the things he's said. People shouldn't be able to get away with saying stuff like that, you know? One day he'll slip up and I bet someone will do something about it.

So tell me Chris2048, do you think the last two paragraphs, maybe said by a speaker to a large audience, show no malicious intent?
> But I have spent the last year as the first employee working on building out a start-up, where a big challenge is in establishing a team and learning how to build a product that people want to buy.

Lots of people have these experiences but don’t succeed as founders.

I suspect a key difference is you are currently doing it without real risk, and with someone else’s risk appetite. I’d be wary of trying to apply the exact same approach when it’s your company on the line. So in that sense there will be just as many “firsts” either way.

Gazprom does not have a monopoly on supplying gas, and the point of sanctions is not to make the sanctioned entity rich.
There is quite a lot of distance between discomfort without AC and dying of the heat. If you're not doing heavy labor all day somewhere hot, living in death valley, or aged or otherwise health compromised there is a whole lot of room between "I'm hot" and "I'm dying". Heat dissipation is one of the major advantages of being human.
Posting anything authentically promotional on these platforms is mostly a total waste of time... They steer views to foreign countries where no one is likely to buy your music or follow you. Everyone is deceiving everyone on these large platforms now, that why music and many other scams dominate the entire Internet.

These platforms have millions of active accounts, but what they do is only let paid promoted posts trend, and randomly mix in memes from shadow accounts, while artificially capping visibility for everyone else (who doesn't pay for ads) at under 100-400 (low-value views).

Whenever the news gets onto reporting platforms, they switch their algorithm to make it look like things are operating fairly/normally, and then switch back to manipulation after the heat dies down. I'm pretty sure they have more psychologists and marketing specialists on staff than actual musicians and developers in management.

Suspending 300 accounts is like flicking a flea off an infested dog's back.

TikTok and Instagram are the hip internet properties where young people share stuff. Snap Chat is essentially a dying service. Evan Spiegel is not a visionary like Zuckerberg, Gates, Bezos, Brin and Page. That said he is smart enough to run Snap which in my opinion is a boutique web site some people find interesting. Snap won’t matter in a few years, it is better to sell it to a bigger social media network.
I agree, saying "crypto is here to stay" is not much more than wishful thinking.

But when enough people repeat the same thing, it can give the illusion that this line was backed by solidly architected reasoning at some point in the past, and that we reached consensus on the long-term viability.

But AFAIK, we're still far from a consensus in this field.
The last paragraph is a lot of strong opinion with a whole lot less basis in reality and facts.
I had no idea this was such an issue, so I wanted to say kudos for explaining it so well on the site!

Reading a Mr. Money Mustache article about heat acclimation really changed my mindset about air conditioning. For the past several summers, we've used minimal-to-low AC. It helps that we both work from home now, so we're not spending our days in a highly-air-conditioned office.

This is a strange statement given how the details of the FBI investigation have been public for a very long time.

Krebs was fast to report on the initial accusations, but seems to have waited as long as possible to write about the revelations that his source was actually the perpetrator.

> This time, I missed the mark and, as a result, I would like to extend my sincerest apologies to Ubiquiti, and I have decided to remove those articles from my website.

Given that Krebs is a reporter who has historically built a reputation on exposing things and bringing information to light, the brevity and vagueness of this article feels much more like a compromise to settle a lawsuit than typical reporting.
Is it true that only 30,000 years ago the level of the sea was very different? lower in that case, exposing the land bridge at Alaska, and connecting the Islands north of Australia.. and previous to that, the sea level was much higher? evidence is the inland sea that is California Central Valley..
There seems to be a growing trend of generally healthy people looking for drugs/supplements to provide marginal improvements. I can't help thinking it's a sign of a vacuous and unfulfilling life. Instead of spending time and money on drugs to increase your life span, why not spend that time/money on actually living your life? I think this probably comes down to the general boredom that comes from not having a family and not having enough time off work to do anything else worthwhile.
Terrible diets lead to obesity and insulin resistance. Doctors do the blood glucose test and if the patient does not figure out eating and nutrition on their own, the Doctors often write prescription for insulin to supposedly control blood glucose. This has the obvious effect of accelerating insulin resistance, though the blood glucose numbers do look better for a while.
The same law applies to private companies. They are under board scrutiny instead of board + market scrutiny.

>I don't doubt their title is developer,

I don't know any companies that use that word. Normally we are called software engineers. Amazon is the closest, with "software development engineer."

Nor do we use the word devops. Which is funny, because as I understand it, software engineers working on infrastructure automation in the same way that that we work on products are the closest thing to what "devops" envisions. The companies that are doing it don't use the word, and the companies that use the word are the most incredulous that anyone could be getting by without dev and (dev)ops as

Sounds like this dude expects Twitter to be the World Police? I wouldn't expect Twitter as a company to help me if my right to be a gay man in the UK were being infringed; I'd expect the UK government to help me - and beyond that, in the case of a corrupt government, I'd expect other countries to apply pressure internationally to try to resolve the situation.

But no, I would not expect Twitter to be responsible in the same way I wouldn't blame a brand of honey for my murder if that's what my murderer had had for breakfast. There are two parties in this: this dude and the Pakistani Gov, Twitter is just a communications channel - it could just as easy be WhatsApp or TikTok or Facebook or HN.

Obviously it won't be direct or all at once, but serious inflation kills. Economic recessions kill.
