vehementi

To an extent it can help reduce wasteful steps. But there's nothing AI can do that can make it less irresponsible to reduce soak times, stagger the release across many environments, etc.

Nothing you wrote seems to support what you said at the start there. Why is the importance of code quality decreasing?

Is the DC one of the availability zones of an AWS region?

Played a run through, would be nice to be able to play more than 1 puzzle (if there's nobody to queue with quickly in multiplayer). Maybe let me play yesterday's puzzle or something, especially if I just figured out the ropes?

I read this and came away a bit sheepish not really grasping the significance of extreme focus on PRNG and entropy for basic things. Glad to see the rest of the comments agreeing. "What every experimenter must know"...

Mere hours into the incident, before there's any RCA, someone rushes to discredit themselves with a simplistic explanation

Check out Defense in Depth as a security concept

Be that as it may, it's missing the illogical point the other person raised. If your $300 painting was worth $10k when it got stolen from you, but 7 years later the market value is $1M, you don't say "I was robbed of a million"

Finally we can talk to the bomb dudes in Serious Sam

Yes, that is how I read it as well. Email was just for fun, and the code came by a different channel (of course). The email the scammer sent wouldn't contain a code they can use to take over his account (of course).

On obvious spoofs I see "legal@gmail.com <via scamdude@askjdfaskldfj.net>". I think he means that it didn't indicate the latter. And if gmail phone app didn't fail to display headers he could have looked

Your analogy is different. They bought for X, then when it was stolen it was worth 80k, and at this random time today, it's worth $120k and he's saying he lost $120k.

Who knows what hell can be unleashed on one's emotions nowadays with AI

This is key. I would "never" fall for a scam like this. But who knows for sure? I would also never cheat on my partner, but can I say with 100% certainty that some insane situation can't possibly ever come up where my many layered defenses are compromised? Can some sufficiently charismatic individual deliver a perfect AI script to me based on info from 5 other breaches, in my brother's voice, to make me give up a 2fa token in an emergency? Maybe! So just never answer the phone, ever

It's honestly irresponsible to pick up phone calls at this point. Phishers are really good, and every human has some weakness, so you can't guarantee you wouldn't fall for something -- perhaps one day a new vulnerability comes out and your old guidance is no longer perfect. Answering the phone at all is just putting yourself at risk

They're not saying they can't get the headers, the point is that if you're using iOS you don't have access to the headers to validate

Justifiable in a vacuum, but the end result is grandma knows "sometimes it's OK to give the code to the person on the phone"

It's the only messaging app where messages are stored on the cloud

Unreal. Please share how you came to this world view.

Jesus it even mentions Instagram Threads in it

Yes, they don't actually answer the question of how safe SF is. They say that some areas are more safe than others. Is the worst area in SF unsafe at all, or are the absolute numbers (and per capita) actually low? How unsafe? Who should be concerned about doing what, and when?

Not to go all Godwin but a lot of people have the same reaction to news about Trump -- for some reason, people see the need to lie about and misrepresent Trump. "If he's so bad, surely people could just list off his crimes without having to try to trick me right? Must not be so bad, it couldn't hurt to give him a turn as president."

I wonder why this guy has a plug for that home doctor book which looks reeeeally sketchy. I went looking for reviews of it and reddit is filled by spam from just one reddit user

I too am intensely distrustful of anyone expressing an opinion in more than a few paragraphs

I am kinda tiring of seeing this rationalization. Don't you see, it's on the company to fire you if your productivity is low! Feel free to do nothing or as little as possible! That's such trash.

If you're in software and are being honest you know we are not being paid for our output. Where are you working where the understanding is that if you get assigned a task for the week and finish it in one hour, it is common knowledge between you and your management chain that you have the rest of the week off and the CEO says "nice, see ya!"? Where your team says the same and doesn't look at you sideways? No, we aren't being paid for output, we are being paid for being as productive as we can (sustainably) for the generally accepted hours (9-5 or whatever your company says), and continually improving our skills. There is a general extreme difficulty to measure and track and enforce that (because as we all know, estimation is hard and shit happens) which is where trust comes in and why companies are so vulnerable to people working less and lying about it -- it's super difficult to verify.

??? that's not the zig they are referring to. They mean by firing 30, 40, 50, or 60 rockets in a relaxing match of Quake, they'll de-stress

I'm on a non-tech-related Vancouver discord server, and I can name 10 people on there who work in tech and actively try to do the least they can get away with at jobs, or work multiple jobs secretly, etc. and not one of them complains about money. You can no-true-Corporationsman it if you want but there are a lot of people who are naturally actively shady like that.

All software development? You can work at 25% pace and get away with it at most places. Sandbag, attend lots of meetings, be "blocked" by things often, etc. It's not about literally producing nothing, it's about working from 11-2 (or whatever, depends on what these people try to get away with)

Not the same thing and when phenomena are studied they often get additional names

sig myself out

What is meant by this?

I actively treasure my shower thoughts time and have been thinking of doing more of that. One issue is that if I'm in a bad mood, stressed, annoyed at some stupid coworker, etc. my mind will wander in that useless area instead of in the direction of cool problems.

What do you mean by that?
