GCP IAM is the worst. AWS IAM is not nearly as bad. GCP sucks so bad as a product, that the only way to tell what IAM policies apply to your service account, is to run some kind of…

It's not a best practice, it's a fad. 99% of people who recommend or use Postgres barely know how to use it. Another trendy database will come along and you'll stop seeing all thes…

Built my own sofa. Fabric from JOANN, foam from a shitty IKEA thing thrown on the street, some plywood and pine from Home Depot, hardware, staples. Cost me $75. It's comfy and I ca…

Immediate managers must have some experience with the report's work, absolutely. But farther up the chain, they still need to check work. There's certain details of progress you ju…

All of this is very true! Thanks to the author for being open about their mistakes. If you want to avoid this scenario, your company needs good leadership. If you're at a company w…

I don't know what I'd do if I had kids in the US. The education system here is so toxic. It's like a factory designed to churn out little automatons. Like everyone's purpose in lif…

The intelligence level of the average HN comment is lower than your average chat bot

OK doomer.

If your transport method for rsync was ssh, that is often a bottleneck, as openssh has historically had some weird performance limits that needed obscure patches to get around. Ena…

This is actually much better because nbdcopy can handle sparse files, you can set the number of connections and threads to number of cores, you can force a flush before exit, and e…

You're missing out on the most critical detail of Japanese culture that is lost by most westerners: Speed isn't more important than having respect for your craft. If you have to go…

I'm sorry, but you don't understand swap. It's useful to retain all kinds of memory in different scenarios, like cache, or windows that haven't been accessed in a while. It can fre…

I've worked on medical devices. As a techie, what surprised me more is not the lack of trials for new devices. It's that for software (and other kinds of components), it's often ac…

Driving cross country in a car is actually the worst when you're in stop and go traffic, or cars keep slowing down and then speeding up. I can't wait to get my hands on adaptive cr…

Or alert air traffic control, and maybe they can send an alert into the cockpit. But there must be a way to raise an alarm. My guess is basically nobody cares that much about this …

I just assume that there is always a 0day lurking in my kernel. If you can execute any code on my system I assume it's game over

Not really bro, but you stay angry

All of these people are so bizarre. It's like Howard Hughes versus some potential acquisition turned competitor and the yellow journalism that followed. Time is a flat circle.

Poor kid, learning how an enterprise works the hard way. If he stays in software eng long enough he'll be back here eventually, with a little less gumption, but a little more tacti…

Most companies in the world don't need to develop software. Software development itself is hype. But there's lots of money in it, despite no actual value being created most of the …
