They know something you don’t. That’s how most people make money. In all seriousness this appears to be cost cutting. They sat down with their CTOs and asked give me a list of cost cutting measures right down to the bone. The CTO says boss we pay for windows licenses, we could move to Linux and save a zillions of $$. CEO says “what are you waiting for do I have to tell you to get a new toilet roll if you run out of one ?”

Yes, the "that's not normal" made it quiet explicitly about the state of the industry in order to single out Twitter to be exceptionally bad in this regard. Which is true in the context of well run companies, but not on the average.

The exceptionally bad ones have no authentication on databases readable to dog-and-world. That's the state of our industry where security is at best an afterthought. By that measure, Twitter is basically average. They give it some lip service and do as little as they can get away with.

I wonder why information-heavy communities chose "knowledge storage" in the form of Discord.

Example: i'm looking to build a PrintNC - they've got a really good Wiki, however with all the options i'm a tiny bit overwhelmed, especially since for newcomers like me, there's so much to wrap my head around...

Anyways, if i could look up the answers to my questions very probably someone has asked before on a forum, i wouldn't have to join their Discord and use the (imho) subpar search to maybe find what i was looking for...

So yeah, those kind of communities would be (again, IMHO) better served if they'd use a forum - especially since that knowledge also would be indexed by search engines.
Sweet, maybe I can finally render volumetric clouds in Cycles now!

Saying billionaires are privileged is rude when you're saying it to a billionaire dying of eye cancer. I don't think that implies much about anything. White people aren't the only class that is privileged in the US, and you can be a member of other classes that more than offset being white. Like 65% of Americans are white. It offers opportunities over the median black person (or native, or hispanic etc.), not the median person, who is also white.

Yeah, but that payout ratio - millions to one! Bitcoin will never pay out at that level - I don't know if it ever did.

I find it interesting you're arguing that an unknown ratio is preferable to a known one. Bitcoin has a known current cost, but entirely unknown chances and payouts over an unknown duration. There's little reason to assume that Bitcoin will make another massive jump other than optimism that there will be a new wave of true believer bag holders. I know the lottery is going to be drawn each week and I know the cost and the odds, as well as the minimum payout, and the current payout is updated as we get closer to the drawing.
I second this. Any QR code explainer has a bit of the "draw the rest of the fucking owl" vibe to them. The interesting part is the image processing to actually detect those features and translate them into something recognizable by the machine.

If you’re trying to grok the esoterica of Linux USB kernel mode interfaces - a printer class driver is not the worst exercise - but this is to me very far removed from the task at hand - driving the hardware.

Western Union.

I just tried it myself and it says they will charge $60 to send $1000 to the US.

Also, they add this disclaimer:

2 In addition to the transfer fee, Western Union also makes money from currency exchange. When choosing a money transmitter, carefully compare both transfer fees and exchange rates. Fees, foreign exchange rates and taxes may vary by brand, channel, and location based on a number of factors. Fees and rates subject to change without notice.

What's 'secure credential storage'? I don't think the Windows Credential Management API counts. Any program running as my user can ask for credentials out of the store, can't it?

And even if there was such a secure storage location, any program running as my user can read the token out of /proc/<teams PID>/mem; or it can ptrace(2) Teams and extract the token from the communication with the credential storage API...
> Having tokens in clear text is not a serious security issue as long as the files cannot be accessed by anyone else.

Conceptually true. However, you cannot guarantee that the files can't be accessed by anyone else.

I think that storing any critical data in cleartext is a Bad Thing because it eliminates a layer in a layered defense stance, and layered security is always desirable.

It's on our long-term roadmap to offer other services such as scientific computing, monte carlo simulation, AI, etc. One issue that arises from Deep Learning tasks such as stable diffusion is that the various devices in the network need to communicate periodically, especially when training models, which presents problems when the devices are scattered across the globe.

For a long time Soulseek (p2p platform similar to early napster) by bulk-downloading artists releases which released on labels labels i know.
Then look for other artists on the label, or another label an artist releases on and repeat the process.

Nowadays I collect vinyl and find new stuff via bargain bin deals and on flea markets.
That said, this approaches are probably better suited for people who are not fixated on particular styles.

While I can accept on the face that saturated fatty acids doesn’t have an effect on cardiovascular disease, their conclusions are near useless without access to the full paper and their methods of analysis.

It’s not hard to observe the American diet being high in SFA and Americans leading CVD morbidity.

It’s also not hard to find diets high in SFA like keto and paleo and their practitioners being relatively healthy.

I suspect it is the combination of high amounts of SFA and sugar that are driving the high rates of CVD.
We used Sentry[0] and it saved us a lot of time digging into lots of logs to find out some exception that went unnoticed.

Which is why I think that of Netflix's experiment here the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt "finale movie" was possibly the height of the art form. The obviously bad choices are always an excuse for more jokes and more punchlines and opportunities for surprise guest cameos from the show's previous seasons (and weird closure of multiple seasons of strange guest characters). The show's previous seasons already engendered enough of a feel of "anything can happen" that made most playthroughs, even "bad" ones, fun, and especially yielded a strong reason to see the entire play graph to catch all the endings and all the cameos and all the jokes.

It actually had answers for "Why would you want to do that?" and in ways that fans of the show's previous seasons would expect. From my experience, many of the other CYOA properties that Netflix attempted didn't have that multiple seasons of loyalty to wild "anything can happen" jokes and reasons to explore the interactivity in depth, but the UKS CYOA certainly had a lot of charm and fun.

(Aside: one of my favorite gags was the UKS CYOA's gag Netflix Skip Intro button.)
Well when you have microservices, hopefully only one or two of them need logging at a given time.
Because you can't give free internet to China or Russia to give people proper information without government oversight. It's not going to happen without the co-operation of these governments who will actively prevent you from doing that. That's basically why.

That's not even mentioning the sanctions on Western technology entering Russia at the moment.
Gotcha. I think we're probably thinking about different kinds of environments - probably the key differentiation is the total volume of logs, the kinds of services we're monitoring, and how bad a given error is.

> Having old logs around is awfully costly for the off chance that they help.

Depends massively on the log volume. I've worked at places that generated terrabytes of logs over the course of a few days, and required very large ES clusters to try to keep on top of it. There was definitely value in having those logs, but it only made sense to retain them for a couple of weeks. It's much less costly for low volume services.

> ...request tracing, which is different...

Ye-es, until it's not. If your current setup isn't yet developed or grown enough to have full request tracing, you can get a long way filtering aggregated logs by a correlation ID. I know it's no substitute for a fully feature tracing system, but in situations where you have limited resourcing you need to prioritise it can get you a long way

> If the problem doesn't happen again after you turn on logging, then the incident is over isn't it? The customer is no longer affected.

That massively depends on the impact of the incident, I think. If it's a "There was a problem playing this title, please try again" kind of deal, it's no biggie.

If it's a "my broadcast TV channel is off air" or "my financial system has crashed in an unexpected way trying to reconcile this transaction" type situation, you might be a little more worried - and the customer is likely going to be very upset for quite a while, and some people with very serious faces might come to talk to you about very large fines.
I always felt looked down upon by those who grew up in the Twin Cities, so I never had a positive experience.
There are so many folks from countries which did not have any colonialism which were not implicated in any sort of way in the oppression of folks of non-white skin color which are definitely affected by reverse-racism. Think all of Eastern-Europe for example. In essence this method of dealing with racism is actually antagonizing folks which did not have anything to do with the issue to begin with. It is kind of ridiculous. Why are they affected just because they have white skin? I am sure some non-whites are saying: "It's your turn to see how it is". Actually, it is not. The people implementing these sort of policies are even more ignorant than the original oppressors. They think their actions are just. Which is completely false. Who are they to pass judgement on who is responsible for past oppression.
And I should add that more startup and new-product teams should be bold about throwing away code. Startups need to be optimized for learning. Each release should tell you something about your users, your market, your ideas. But doing that means that some of the code will have been written before you know what you're doing. That code either needs to be refactored or reverted. The latter feels scarier but is often cheaper.
Shameless self-promotion: I built Eventline (see my profile) precisely because I just wanted to schedule and run code in various environments, manually or in reaction to various events, without the complexity that goes with specialized tools.

It gives you a pretty flexible job system, identities (secrets), monitoring, notifications, a web interface, a command line tool and a HTTP API. You can build lots of things above it.

Do you have specific use cases in mind ?
