I've seen ads using famous people (as in a Prime Minister) to sell whatever faking the whole thing, how is that even legal

maybe?

I believe the opposite of this statement to be true

I guess I don't understand what's going on. Solver says in 1-2 to raise 85% of hands to 6 as SM. Then the response by BB is to raise to 18 with 98% of hands!?

I lost rows in a busy table until I changed to PRAGMA synchronous = FULL

Right prod architecture (nginx -> gunicorn -> django, with nginx serving static assets), decent PRAGMAs for sqlite3 and caching for generic content should improve the RPS one or two orders of magnitude.

# Upload backup to S3 # Sometimes the backup gets OOM killed and so it stays locked, do an unlock.

An standard S3 upload like "aws s3 cp" doing OOM is surprising (to me)

My prejudice is that there are only a few countries in the world (US, Canada, Australia, Mexico, possibly others I don't have experience with) where coming as an immigrant they take you in and you can be considered from that country.

> "The first ads for the Vespa featured a woman," said Sarra. "You could call it a kind of feminist design." Well, a big feature of the Vespa design is that, unlike other motorcycles, women (or Scottish men) can ride them with skirts. Surely that helped with their initial popularity.

Documentary or docudrama but yes it's great. Important lessons like focusing only in the next rock.

you still need filter phone/remote interviews to select which candidates to have for on-site interviews, and this article centers on this initial interview being broken

> The interns we hired are extremely qualified and AI-native. wtf is "AI-native" ? couldn't he say "familiar with AI tooling?"

Instead of trying to get the actual SOC 2 attestation, do a version of the homework that would get you there; basically writing documentation. The output would be documents describing different procedures or existing infra (disaster recovery, network diagrams etc) and a master spreadsheet with the "soc 2" questions (that you pick) and answers, a "security questionnaire" and this is what you send to companies when they insist.

Note in security-speak the keyword is "mitigation" (you don't have x but you mitigate that by y)

if your app runs on a single VM, then run it on a VM (two VMs behind LB for extra reliability)

Would a hot tub session (say at 100 - 105 F) be comparable or yield similar results?

I agree that estimation questions (not "brain teasers" as coming up with the clever solution) are good. Developers should be able to think in orders of magnitude.

The new SEO fad is CEOs and CTOs writing articles trying to look like a regular guy.

Also the "C" in CTO means Chief, as in main manager (of managers); if you have no direct report you are not a manager, let alone a "chief" one; call yourself Founder/Distinguished Engineer

yes, the previous AWS incident to this one iirc ec2 instances were not reachable from AWS console (IAM issue?) but they kept running and working

> The wall was actually as likely to end five months from when they visited it, as it was to end 500 years from then.

I don't think this is correct; as in something that has been there for say hundreds of years had more probability to be there in a hundred years than something that has been there for a month.

'make your manager look good'

their treatment of Israel-Palestine

this will surely turn around the 10% of devs who don't hate Jira yet
