This presumes that it will be real humans that have to “take care” of the code later. A lot of the people that are hawking AI, especially in management, are chasing a future where …

Electricity and water are things that we don’t mind (or even want) people using less of. The same can’t really be said for Spotify etc.

Airbus A350s had the same issue: https://www.theregister.com/2019/07/25/a350_power_cycle_soft... We’re just going to see more and more issues like this as more and more software is…

There never will be an adequate industry-wide certification. There is no universal “good enough” or “when to stop” for security. What constitutes “good enough” is entirely dependen…

None of what you just said about US law is relevant here. Yes, Cloudflare has to abide by international law where it operates. This is established and every company across the glob…

If us-east-1 ever suffered a “FULL” data loss, it would be a company-ending event for so many companies that it would practically end society as we know it. OVH’s failure was a sin…

> AWS ProServe never had a RTO mandate Before Covid, no team had an RTO mandate, so ProServe wasn’t really special here. In ProServe you were still expected to be in an office regu…

This undersells the fact that there’s a lot more to infrastructure management than “janitoring”. You and many others may want to just say “here’s my code, ship it”, but there’s als…

You’re completely off the mark here. I’ve worked at a Big4 company before on reports like this. These reports aren’t paid for by other companies at all. They’re internally funded a…

Can we not do this? Everyone knows that “serverless” doesn’t actually mean there are no servers. It’s not productive to do this “haha gotcha!” trope every time someone uses the ser…

> whether I'm managing 100 of the same thing or 1,000 - if I've built proper automation my only additional overhead is replacing failed hardware Hahahah surely this is a joke, righ…

Ah, yes, my original comment was a little unclear. I actually wasn’t logging in on new device vs existing device, it was that I had logged in to one device before 9:30est (presumab…

It’s the largest trading volume day in years and everyone that isn’t living under a rock is trying to log into their banks to check their portfolio. The banks can’t handle the surg…

I’ve been a Schwab user for years, and was a TDA user as well before the merger. TDA had just as many issues like this. Don’t let your recency bias fool you. Schwab is overall a gr…

I’m not sure how the inability to login is “more complex”. I clearly state in my comment that logging in wasn’t working.

Both Fidelity and Schwab were fine for me on devices where I was already logged in, but logging into a new device wasn’t working. This seems like a common issue - even if backend s…

> corporate travelers actually do not get the most value/benefit from points travel because corporate travelers already fly on business. Flying on business class is just a given. I…

My take is that it’s related to the parent commenter’s thoughts on the relative monopoly that Bell had. If you’re a monopoly with no practical competition, sharing your accomplishm…

I imagine they would do something like this: https://news.microsoft.com/source/features/innovation/datace... These innovations don’t always have to be “marketed” to be shared. Thin…

There is an insane amount of innovation happening at Google and Microsoft et al. The amount of investment going into efforts like making data centers more power efficient, making b…

The motivation is in the project’s readme, down at the bottom. The tl;dr is that this is for legacy software where you can make HTTP calls to retrieve a secret, but for some reason…

The extent of the “conversion” required would pretty much just be taking one form of JSON output and transforming it into a different JSON output, which is pretty easy to do in a f…

The article and source material are light on details here. My guess is that it is using HTTPS, but the researchers saw the plaintext password in the request and assumed “password i…

The router itself has an internet connection but that doesn’t necessarily mean that all of the other stuff required to actually route traffic or connect other devices is configured…
