AWS uses this isolation pattern internally for just about everything, for what it's worth.

Just to give an example of the pain that can be caused by NotAction in practice: https://www.reddit.com/r/aws/comments/3recc9/this_iam_policy...

This policy looks reasonable to a casual observer, but actually gives * access to everything in the account. IAM policies are _hard_.

Not quite as feature rich or opinionated, but SSLyze is decent and not difficult to modify for your use case:

If you're a SiriusXM subscriber there's a catalog of 252 interviews available on demand: https://player.siriusxm.com/

The list is also available without signing up here: http://www.siriusxm.com/servlet/Satellite?c=SXM_PageDetail_C...

I don't particularly like Discord (which I assume you meant) because I don't see a monetization plan for them that doesn't screw over their users. With Slack, I know that they have enterprise customers that essentially pay for the free users. Discord has nothing like that, and I can only foresee two outcomes: running out of money or selling out their users. Charging for their service won't really work, either, because gamers are a pretty price-sensitive group in my experience and Slack is still free.

Don't know what hardware AWS is using, but Ark has server boards supporting 1.5TB, which is close enough to make 2TB believable: http://ark.intel.com/products/94187/Intel-Server-Board-S2600...

Edit: Supermicro has several 2TB boards, and even some 3TB ones: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/#201...

I recently used Milligram for the first time and was very disappointed that the grids were not responsive. Seems like a real miss in an otherwise completely solid framework.

I'm able to use it on an account with only a device generated via the Alexa Voice Service. I made a device profile on the developer site, then authenticated to it via the OAuth flow.

Beware: the bridge for Milight bulbs also communicates outbound to a mystery server for Internet control of the bulbs. The actual RF protocol has been documented and implemented as Arduino code, though, which is what I use for my installation.

No real experience here, but the documentation presents SCSS samples first with a small textual toggle button to view the Sass syntax. If I were learning Sass, that'd be a big indicator to use the SCSS syntax.

Source on this? I know last time I played with it, they weren't doing SNI (in 2015, what?) but I've never heard of it not being able to hit EC2 IPs.

The OTOY AMIs do something similar to this. They use the GPU's onboard encoding as far as I know, but they don't stream through Steam - it goes through some custom HTML client.

I did something very similar to this last summer, written in Python. No idea what state the code is in at this point because it's been months, but here's the code I had sitting around: https://gist.github.com/schlarpc/86e20aa3f3aaf3d78269

There is nothing to stop a software developer from taking the "other disciplines" FE and the "software engineering" PE.

I wrote a VPN-over-Facebook tunnel a week or two ago with basically the same motivation. Stupid and slow as hell, but I still want to try it out with the $12 data plan sometime.

Easter eggs:

If you click 4 links on the side of the Start menu, it gives a BSoD.

If you click the picture of nyan cat 8 times, it opens nyan.cat in the fake browser.

If you let it sit for 3 minutes, the background turns black and displays "This copy of Windows is not genuine".
