That said - thinking this through some more I wonder if we could give an AI agent elaborate rules on what is and/or isn't acceptable through an MCP and let it do that "peer review"…

It is a bit of a different thing than pipelines because in every organisation I've worked at you're expected to have a peer review via pull request for anything going to production…

At first glance this feels very much like GKE Autopilot and/or AKS Automatic. So now all three cloud providers have a more-fully-managed managed Kubernetes. Part of the reason why …

I work for an Enterprise SaaS company who has a "Contact Us" pricing and fully agree with the sentiment. This is how it was explained to me: * Since we sell mainly to Enterprise th…

Canva came for MS PowerPoint/Office. They should have expected a response…

This feels like when a mining company has to remediate/recreclamate their mine(s) at the end of their useful life rather than leave them there to cause people problems in the futur…

Would you be comfortable as an Aussie just always zeroing it out when you see it here then?

One thing I was surprised by recently as an American ex-pat (living in Australia for years) too was tipping housekeeping in hotels. I was told by an American colleague on a recent …

Good article - mirrors my thoughts. I moved to Australia from the US in 2006. I swear that when I left the tip was more like ~15% (as the sales tax where I was was 7.5% and the rul…

I am an American who has been living in Sydney for years and who stopped tipping here after getting used to it not being expected - but it has gotten a little weird/muddied of late…

This is yet another amazing cherry-on-top of an amazing product. I switched Internet providers a couple months ago and was horrified to find that I was now behind a CGNAT. I went l…

The difference is that AWS support can recover them and will help you. In that way it is a service not a tool. They are also the support team for the services that are being provis…

I worked on the cloud/DevOps team of a big customer for more than 5 years then as an AWS SA for almost 5 after that. Now I work for an AWS security partner. And thanks glad you enj…

Ahh sorry. AWS IAM is a good model it just struggles to scale to ~13,000 possible API actions in the platform as it’s grown. The models all have trade-offs - but the fact Kubernete…

CDK 'compiles' CloudFormation templates basically making it much easier to write using TypeScript/Python/Java/C# instead of JSON/YAML. The real thing is does though is give you hig…

If you are developing a simple service that only needs access to an S3 bucket and a DynamoDB table etc. at runtime then it is pretty straightforward to write the explicit allows to…

The author was doing the right thing with explaining it only makes sense when you know the history of how we got to where we are - but there is a bit more to it. It is all a series…

I am a long-time Ubuntu user who switched from Ubuntu 22.04 to Fedora 36 because I have a 12th gen Intel CPU and read that the newer kernels it offers supported the P/E cores bette…

I used to think that way but then I had a phone die and lost my Google Authenticator - I lose access to many servivces and had to go through the pain of resetting so many MFAs. The…

If you were having these outages on a regular basis then I'd sympathise more. All the expense and trouble of starting a rival telco because of a single outage of the incumbent(s) s…

I think it has been mentioned a few times already but ARM64 on servers is also quite compelling (Graviton on AWS and Ampere Altra in Azure). I've actually seen a few customers that…

Actually - come to think of it there is one reason. If this person wants a job with Microsoft or Apple getting something like this working without the support of MS or Apple is a h…

I am struggling to see here how this shouldn't be something that Microsoft does itself. And, if Microsoft is doing it, they can just call Apple and get what they need re: documenta…

The performance and battery life impacts of Windows Defender make it just not worth it for me though. I had a few months where I went back to Linux on my ThinkPad (unfortunately wi…
