yes, the author made a junior dev mistake and he is trying to blame [tool name here].

Making mistakes like this sucks but passing the blame makes it even worse.

So basically he messed up something basic and he is passing the blame to the tool he used? I would fell much more sympathetic if he acknowledged his mistakes instead of flexing muscles and throwing Docker/MongoDB under the bus.

The clear mistake here is allowing incoming traffic on 0.0.0.0/32

Disclaimer: I am not into Docker or Mongodb

we have an internet gateway in front of our push infrastructure, this way we always end up with the same IPs address even if the pool of workers is dynamic

Deleting large amount of data on Postgresql is expensive. First you need an index on a column to select the expired data, then you actually need to delete the rows which creates a lot of garbage, is heavy and slow.

Creating and deleting a lot of data on PG is a pain because of MVCC and vacuum. One useful trick is to partition data into tables and to truncate/drop entire tables, drop/truncate is instant and reclaims space immediately.

> Not to mention them not knowing basic facts like Moldova and Romania being in fact 2 separate independent countries.

Moldova is also a Romanian region.

How many users can you handle on a server and how does it scale horizontally in terms of connections?

I am not surprised, I reported a security issue years ago and I was completely ignored by them. Unfortunately I cannot find the ticket anymore but the issue was that I could see coverage results for a different account. Since then I am still waiting for Github to support coverage results via Github actions.

Am I the only one thinking that life is pointless after reading this? Seriously, this guy is shoving snow so that some idiot can flatten it the day after, why am I recycling plastic?

I guess http/2 support on CDN made this a useless (and tedious) optimization

x does not exist

it reduces the immune system reaction inflammatory reaction which can be fatal

Catalina is by far the worst OSX release for me and many people I know.

For months ext monitor support was buggy, touchbar stopped working daily (related to ext monitor bug) and restarts were necessary in order to go back to stable state. Since a couple weeks things improved a lot and I am back to my default state: I dont care about my OS nor about any Apple app, just let me use my IDE and browser without annoying me. I think that the wise thing here is to never ever upgrade OSX until a couple minor releases are out. Bugs eventually get fixed and security patches are important! This reminds me of Cassandra where x.y.6 was the right version to use :)

From dev perspective, SVG support on Android is surprisingly bad / hard to get right, same on native iOS

I have the same feeling, OneDrive is garbage compared to Dropbox, insanely slow and terrible UIX and yet it is widely used. Classic platform move, bundle X with Office and it will be used by millions.

Edit: I use Google Drive because of Google docs. sigh

Just for my curiosity; did you use EBS or instance storage?

Back when we did this instance storage was much faster than EBS but the difference was not as dramatic as it can be these days. For example:

i3.2xlarge -> 180,000 write IOPS (4KB) 456$/month EBS 16TiB volume -> 16,000 IOPS (16KB) (more than 1,500$/month)

The difference in price and performance (NVMe can go much higher than this) could justify the EC2 self-hosted approach.

You are right. I am quite sure they will add support for PG as well but at the moment proxies are only for MySQL.

70% is still a pretty good deal.

Back when RDS did not have Postgresql supported, our dev team build something similar on top of EC2, EBS, Wal-e (S3) and XFS.

It was a lot of work to get all the moving parts working nicely; lot of testing to perfect all procedures and I can tell you, it was no fun at all when we got the instance shutdown email notification from AWS (or if you wanted to spin a new server from snapshot / upgrade instance type, ...)

Here's a list of things that you get with RDS:

- Somebody else will make sure that failover, snapshotting, backup recovery work. If you use EC2 this is going to be something you need to test periodically (unless you like bad surprises)

- Automated failover election mechanism

- Logging integrates with S3 out of the box

- Proxy (no need to run your own pgbouncer anymore)

- Engine upgrades work with replicase and multi-az failovers

The list is much longer than this but my point is: the amount of overhead that comes with running PG on EC2 is high and does not improve that much over time (probably the opposite is true if you consider that developers/DBAs come and go).

Beside the news item itself; I wonder how often this happens and how people manage to get their software removed from this false positive detection lists.

Any help with making a stronger case is also appreciated!

Houston is indeed utopia (at least for some), there are not enough resources on this planet to get a large house with pool to 7 billion people.

If you never used or heard of LATERAL [JOIN] I suggest checking that out because it is pretty awesome and handy.

Lazy loading is a feature I was waiting for long time, hopefully this time is here to stay!

What's her reason to not testify?

Stripe

> estimated $3 billion in lost wages. Before the case went to trial, the companies settled for a total of $435 million

So you get busted doing something illegal and walk away with a 2.5Billion in your pocket and 0 jail time. How do you expect execs to not do this all the time?

Bad choice. If I ever build and maintain a database I am going to managethe vefsioning and releasing the way postgresql does, no need to get fancy with this, keep your user happy and not busy with distractions like this.
