"Lately, I've been very publicly critical of GitHub. I've been mean about it. I've been angry about it. I've hurt people's feelings. I've been lashing out. Because GitHub is failing me, every single day, and it is personal. It is irrationally personal. I love GitHub more than a person should love a thing, and I'm mad at it. I'm sorry about the hurt feelings to the people working on it."

Same :( their 9 5's is embarassing

"look, it completely lied about params that don't exist in a CLI!"

The security issue has been fully resolved. Update to the latest version and continue using Notepad++ with confidence.

I mean the last blog post had this line on it:

"With these changes and reinforcements, I believe the situation has been fully resolved. Fingers crossed."

Which just had the wrong tone for a security incident. "I believe it to be fixed, fingers crossed"

I can download an APK and install it on android. Why can't I use my iphone like I use my macbook?

I've got high cholesterol from both parents -- when I was first tested (around 25), my total cholesterol was ~250, my HDLs were < 20. I had ran multiple half marathons that year, and I was eating rather well.

My doctor asked me to try cutting cholesterol out of my diet, and it helped remarkably. I went vegan for quite awhile, and added some foods that help with HDL. The next time I got checked, they were amazing.

I've since added some cheese/eggs/fish back into my diet, but I try to keep it low. I hover around 200, with pretty decent HDLs.

Genetic testing showed I (may) have some genetic issues around cholesterol recycling, so it's not a one-size-fits-all thing.

Performance isn't great. We're using codepipeline/codebuild (triggered via jenkins), and it's common to wait 30 seconds while the step is being created

Cloudbuild on the gcp side has had much better performance

idempotent requests, stateless services, etc are all parts of a fault tolerant system.

your service has a few ways to deal with a dependency going down -- maybe it's a retry, maybe it's opening a circuit breaker and returning a default payload instead of calling that service.

It really depends on what specifically the service is and what it's calling (so it's a very case by case issue).

One of the very neat features of istio is that you can do this tuning in real time -- spin up your services, simulate faults, and then test your service while tuning your retry logic to see what the best user experience is.
