If the code in PROD was fine before the rollout, and there is a bug in the newly deployed code; then I was saying above to undo that deployment going back to the previous version then replicate the bug, preferably locally.

It seems like there a misunderstanding about what I wrote or there is a misunderstanding about how kube works and the misunderstanding isn't mine.

kubectl rollout undo deployment/foo then replicate. The article predates kube though.

If it can't be replicated, loop back to the reporter and seek any clarifying details. If that fails, then communicate to management the extremely high risk of attempting a fix.

I'm happy to get into a legacy Java stack and make it nice!
AI thanks you for your efforts.

Pretty incredible, I use one way hashing for my own sites and I don't even have customers, just a couple of accounts I use when I want to demo something.

I Googled "online gantt tool" and there are whole companies that do nothing but Gantt charts. Pretty wild.

I saw a job posting for Aha! which bills itself as #1 product development software. It seems to be a mashup of a Gantt chart, web forums, virtual sticky notes, document database and a Kanban looking board, and they mention "AI" near the bottom.

I'm not against it but the whole thing does look quite anti-Agile to me, which might not be a bad thing.

Down voted for asking a valid question? Or is every reader of every HN post expected to be an in depth expert in every article posted every minute of every day of the year? What kind of asshole who has earned the right to down vote comments on HN would down vote a legitimate question?
Well, yes, I can, but unlike ssh which is open to the world, my VPN is only open to me and the family. It seems like that greatly reduces the potential attack surface.
Could the backdoor have targeted Wireguard instead of ssh?
Originally I saw this at the following link but the title was editorialized from The Register's article:

Waiting for the new YouTube videos on this. "Woah! Linux has a back door dudes!". My distribution, Ubuntu (now Kubuntu) 2022 isn't affected.
Re:The Great Migration from MongoDB to PostgreSQL on Friday March 29, 2024 @10:20AM (#39864431)
I've nothing against Postgres but MySQL is a wonderful option that is likely still in far higher and heavier use, when considering open source databases.
Could be, I can't remember when it didn't run well but WINE has improved greatly the past 5 years especially.
There's no need to. It installs, updates and runs exactly as it did on Windows, I use it every day.
I use Notepad++ every day, that WINE runs it is implicit, it's like running any other app. I love KDE but I'm not a fan of the Kate editor. Notepad++ even automatically checks for updates like it did on Windows, downloads it, installs it, etc. Works exactly the same. It's great.
I use Notepad++ on Linux, ran the installer, works, it auto updates just like it did on Windows, WINE enables it to run just fine. I use it every day for small files like my TODO, Notes and Scrap files.

"No termination date. I didn't know how long we had together... Who does?"

Yes, I can't really fathom how much I've saved on fuel costs working remotely the past 15 years, it truly is astounding.
I wasn't expecting it, it's on the front page of one of the world's leading news organizations. Their main competitor CNN only has racially motivated stories on their front page today.
It looks like RTO (Return To Office) is going to get more expensive.
The contract to hire contracts I've worked as a developer the past 30 years were either 3 month or 6 month periods and 40 hours per week.

No offense but I'd be highly suspicious of someone offering contract to hire only 10 hours per week, it doesn't sound like the company has much skin in the game.
