"Have an impact in the world" is a canned answer. I seriously doubt a large percentage of candidates really care, its just not appropriate (unfortunately) to say we're here for the…

Typically Terraform takes longer to get something working than mindlessly clicking through the console. In my experience those mindless clickthrough things end up sticking around f…

Wordpress is probably the elephant in the room.

Presumably the folks behind this would know that he was being transferred to Germany. I wonder why they would not have prevented it through some bureaucracy? Is it common for criti…

I was investigating unions over the holidays and saw that these types of things are specific to companies which didn't make sense to me. I'm not familiar with unions in general, bu…

I don't believe its possible to get macOS (or atleast wasn't) onto an AMI in anyway.

No. It uses oauth and scopes for stuff like playlists and activity.

Usually I'm looking for something specific and question whether books will be much help. Eg., I have some salsa, sausage and lentils what can I turn them into type searches.

I think the issue is the filter is based on the specific algorithms and not that problem solving ability. There seems to be more emphasis on "the candidate knew to use bubble sort"…

As someone who cooks a lot, recipes are the worst. As the author points out, it is the obviousness of what the recipe writers are doing that makes it so annoying. I have to acknowl…

I don't know how much we know about the brain but I think inputs could be electrically simulated. Regardless, I'm not so sure "consciousness" depends on inputs as much. The assumpt…

I know this is kind of a joke but when I'm doing system admin related things it is basically my OS GUI. Instead of using any of my regular shells like cmd/PS/WSL/Cygwin I use vscod…

Not having read any legal literature around or really understanding the DMCA, how can they not make a distinction between things with legitimate uses and not? How do torrent client…

Lumber and building materials for remodeling like my bathroom (shower and closet doors stuff like that), topsoil and grass seed/sod for redoing my yard. 2000lbs of lava rock most r…

I think your oversimplifying the appeal of a Hummer to only be had by some stereotype you have. I would purchase one of these as I have always liked the way the Hummer looks. I don…

Columbus Day :)

He seems really insistent on not being ID'd for buses or trains, but its a requirement for flying which has a whole section. Is there something going on with buses and trains that …

Isn't that only with non-cash accounts?

Nowadays no one's plans work out exactly the way they planned. You can ignorantly (and hypocritically) call avoiding super-spreading schools in the midst of a pandemic an extremist…

How does delaying your school career 1 semester cause death? What debt? School debt? Are you talking about college? If you aren't attending school at all then you aren't adding to …

I would prefer every student to be held back 1 semester from graduating high school than 1 more dead (if that were a possibility, but you get the point). I don't even understand ho…

I've been thinking about this in regard to AWS. The encryption at rest for most things is completely transparent so the only thing your really protected against is someone walking …

I'm one of those people that leave it open. I think I instinctively just avoid clicking on any pop up/over on a page. That being said, I am curious what happens if you don't click …

The combination of being played on a real world map and covertly growing/spreading reminds me of Plague Inc. I wonder if any inspiration came from this.

The author describes Terraform and CloudFormation as "imperative". This doesn't seem correct to me, although you can force a sort of imperative flow by manually defining your depen…
