Reminds me a bit of how in the UK the guinea coin ceased to circulate decades ago but it's still used for bidding on racehorse auctions.

1 guinea = 1.05 pounds

You purchase the horse in guineas, seller gets paid in pounds, auctioneer keeps the missing 5% as commission.

'Universal' 110V AC sockets are definitely feasible and offered by some airlines (on some equipment).

It's more likely that the flight in question was using the three letter ICAO code in its passenger facing flight number. I have never known a three character IATA code to be used despite it technically being within the specification.

I found that partitioning the table to allow parallel auto vacuuming was necessary to scale.

HAProxy can also do redirects

Definitely doable with HAProxy + lua. I've used it extensively for load balancing stateful apps.

Thank you for your answer. That seems like a reasonable strategy.

Presumably AGPLv3 is why Grafana would rather develop this than Cortex?

Any bets on how many years before PCI DSS catches up?

Forgetting to delete the old vulnerable app versions is pretty embarrassing.

If you mean the Find My Device app it only asks for foreground location permission so I would assume the actual device "beacon" is part of the system not that app.

Or my personal favourite; crontab -e versus crontab -r.

Possibly Akamai?

I would love to see it delivered

I admire her tenacity.

Great news, slow vacuuming is one of my main Postgres pain points.

You can also use "Hey Google", I wonder if that would have changed her conclusion

There is a distinct lack of GCP products on https://killedbygoogle.com/

Would you avoid AWS because of Fire Phone?

I would find it hard to take a CTO seriously who can't differentiate between beta and "generally available", or consumer product and enterprise cloud product.

It's a bit like saying you wouldn't use AWS because of Fire Phone.

Though the nuance is Slack did know how to handle it, AWS didn't.

Google don't generally seem to kill their enterprise cloud products, more the consumer ones

I'm not really a fan of trying to make commands safer via aliases. I fear it encourages bad habits that could hurt you if you use an environment that is missing them.

Because it doesn't cost you money if you stay within the tier?

So App Engine now relies on Cloud Build which also has a free tier. Unless I'm missing something this doesn't seem like a big deal?

I'm a fan.

Currently using it in a simple setup. But I'm considering using it with an auth backend to provide per user access to databases with the added advantage of no VPN or local software (other than a browser) needed.

I've found Opsgenie's support and pricing to be good. Hopefully that doesn't change with Atlassian...
