Both can be true.

I have a question. Is this for all environments (dev, qa, staging or whatever the equivalent is at google/fb) or just production?

Same!
You have a good point overall. However, can you truly reduce the definition of reliable code to something that simple? I think there are a lot more factors that determine if code is reliable or not.
Re:IoT hacking and rickrolling my high school district on Wednesday October 13, 2021 @08:08AM (#28851128)
Haha when I was searching for printers across the district network the librarian was looking at my screen. She called me out across the room asking why I was looking at printers at a different school. Oof.
Re:IoT hacking and rickrolling my high school district on Tuesday October 12, 2021 @04:05PM (#28844425)
I thought I was cool being able to modify the ready message on printers across the school network. This is really impressive.
Re:The naughty username checking system used by Twitch on Wednesday October 06, 2021 @11:47PM (#28781599)
Reminds me of the black words service at apple that checks for explicit or non printer friendly stuff for iPhone engraving. It was hilarious looking at the advanced linguistic engine they developed to filter out asshole and 30+ variations of it with snarky comments added by devs in the past.

That MFA show really was amazing.
That’s pretty disturbing.

I would legitimately probably cry.

Nor is the iOS app working either

Very cool and nicely executed! Love it
Funny seeing all of the comments span multiple years asking to buy or distribute this product.
Decathlon?

I like the UI. It’s truly refreshing. Cool stuff
I feel the absolute same way. I’ve learned to be satisfied rather than passionate/excited about work. It’s much more sustainable in the long run.

Very cool, had no idea!
Not sure why but thought it was: not on my f*cking premises

Can you expand upon the team in Amsterdam locking down Uber for people in Russia?

What about Netflix?

Re:Show HN: I made a 5-key keyboard on Thursday April 15, 2021 @05:24PM (#26826289)
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that
Ah makes sense now. Similar to people buying tv’s for the Super Bowl and then return it. Just never thought of that with phones.
Re:Show HN: I made a 5-key keyboard on Thursday April 15, 2021 @12:20PM (#26822471)
Now that is wild. One of the more interesting things I’ve read on hacker news. Would love to learn more about this legend if anyone else knows.
And what would that be?
Re:Is that ship still stuck? on Thursday March 25, 2021 @05:33PM (#26585697)
Wonder how the data for the actual position of the ship is obtained or if it’s estimated and just hard coded on to the map?

I always love sites that are question in the domain with answers in the webpage as the main content.

+1 on the hyperboles. You see so many articles with titles like “Never use a singleton unless you want to lose your marriage like me”
Re:Tim Cook may have just ended Facebook on Sunday January 31, 2021 @11:25PM (#25985521)
I think the internet is far from perfect in its current state. However, I think implying it is not usable might be pretty hyperbolic.
Re:Replacing Dropbox in favor of DigitalOcean spaces on Monday January 25, 2021 @08:26PM (#25911284)
I’ve been hearing about this happen for a long time. Unfortunate that it’s still the case.
Yeah the little SIM card face cringed me out
