Pretty sure the under class is by design. Anyone who's ever used the phrase "real job" believes in the necessary existence of an under class.

Because it makes payouts from advertisers more likely. If I'm advertising on Google's platform I don't want to pay for a web-scraping robot to see my ad.

We could extend this the other way to, security research tools shouldn't assert vulnerability based solely on HTTP status code. I think most SPAs require a setup like the one mentioned in the article.

You might be unnecessarily exposing attack surface by including unused binaries in your container.

Opening up the "case" requires disconnecting the "computer" from "power". Since we haven't figured how to get "the power" going again once it's off this analogy is kind of worthless.

Sort of like how the second half of The Wall album by Pink Floyd isn't supposed to endorse national socialism, but Roger Waters was recently investigated for inciting hatred, so...ya know.

It's also got a decent codebase that's easy to extend via plugins.

Scale to zero has always been my favorite feature of serverless compute. If there was a fast way to do it with VMs, I'd certainly consider it.

The same people that wanted to work for Meta and Amazon?

I feel like the third option should be: not conflating credentials with education or ability.

Education is a funded public good, I won't say well funded, but funded nonetheless. Credentials are not a well funded public good, and shouldn't be in my opinion.

I don't think I can upvote this hard enough. Getting people to think and talk about what they do in context provides a lot of great insight in how to use tech (or not use it) to solve their problems.

I think free-trial periods are mostly good enough.

That's an interesting idea. I imagine they don't do DoD wipes of their disks because they are probably multi-tenant, right? Can a guest operating system do forensic analysis on the host disk?

I think you've overestimated how many people look for jobs because they "really want to work" for a particular company. Further, you're asking candidates to eat the opportunity cost associated with spending time on one employer's application process.

It seems much more viable as an alternative to transistors than fiber optics does.

I was trying to find a simple API gateway I could run as a single docker container on a single host. I ended up using a node-red workflow instead, because I was unable to get any of the options available to me working behind Traefik as my proxy. I tried APIMan first, then APISIX, then API Umbrella (used and developed by US government agency, apparently), and finally Kong. I got the closest with Kong, but decided to just give node-red a try and it worked like a charm as a proxy for another API.

This in regards to their warehouse workforce, but relevant to devs as well: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/jun/22/amazon-wo...

Unless the baseline is where the high performers are performing at right now.

It's a win-win for companies to hold employees to high standards. Either they sacrifice health, family, relationships, hobbies, etc. to meet unsustainable demands or they "self-select" and the company no longer has to pay their salary, healthcare, benefits, etc. In the economic climate we're living in, it just makes economic sense to squeeze as much productivity as possible out of your workers. This includes pushing already high performing workers to do more than they already are.

I'm having a difficult time picturing how these hypothetical juniors will fare without that underlying curiosity driving them forward. Likely they'll wash out of the industry or see enough success to be promoted to a management position.

I love the smell of ASP.NET and Telerik in the morning...

Fixer is an attempt to get this kind of reliability together, I think.

I think this is really why we can't "have fun" anymore. Because bad actors exist and can exploit things being done "just for fun". I do wonder, however, how much of the "serious" nature comes from actual bad actors or from the security research community.

Why not both?

This is the correct comment.

Conspiring to overthrow the government is a national pastime in these "13 colonies".

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

Just because the causes have not been enumerated lucidly or coherently doesn't mean that there's not two different peoples in the USA who would like to dissolve the political bands connecting them to one another.

It filters out those who know how to structure code, but don't know how to write it. Stack overflow copy and paste can still create public projects.

I know about it, but I can't use it because it isn't supported in Internet Explorer 11:

Hopefully, more people will follow suit and ban IE11 when O365 no longer supports it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/announcements/int...

You can stop at #1. Why do I need this when oh-my-zsh exists?

I think the trend of soft social credit score via big tech makes this an even dicier proposition.
