God, you never tried Oracle Cloud. It's not an UI, it's an escape room. I would pay to switch to Azure.

I'll be more nuanced.Doing operational security can enhance your security posture, but the real trick in cybersecurity isn’t just putting measures in place, it’s keeping them up over time. That’s where checklists come in.

A lot of companies get it wrong. They think the checklist is the security. But really, the checklist is just there to remind you that you did something right before and you need to keep it up. Treating the checklist like it’s the goal is where things go off track.

This is a CISO's nightmare fuel. Shadow IT is a real pain, consisting of systems with no ownership, no control, and possibly a tight link with the inner IT system.

And the majority of this is only exacerbated by the complexity of the decision-making process.

I'm using EF Core with SQL Server and PostgreSQL for two different production projects; it works like a charm, and the performance is great.

All recent projects in my company are PostgreSQL based (> 2000 production applications), and we have far fewer troubles with PostgreSQL than with Oracle, not to mention the licensing.

Wouldn't it be simpler to plant trees instead of using energy to capture carbon? To absorb 1000 tons of CO2 a year, you'd need roughly 200 acres of land, which seems more feasible.

This makes me think of the loop quantum gravity hypothesis. It's sad that we probably won't find the answer in my lifetime.

Horror story here our servers are in a basement datacenter under another datacenter. An intervention on the upper datacenter caused water to flow on our servers on 23th of december.

Needless to say that was a pretty rough week.

Same experience here, my company was unable to choose a collaborative software, but in just one day 250 people had to work remotly while none before.

Teams is somewhat good, good tools to create wikis and integrate third party solution like Jira and office integration. One selling point to me is that "it just works" even with non technical users.

Right, in some countries doubling was every 3 days.

As a guy who lives in a finite world where energy comes mainly from fossil fue in a way or another, I do not assume that any constant progress in energy supply is something achievable.

God, this is insane. I live in France, I earn 30k€ net worth a year, my wife is 23k€ and we feel well. We're far from rich, but at no time in those last 12 months I asked myself "can I buy this ?".

Last year I had to go to the hospital for an emergency, I stayed 3 days and paied... nothing. I'm thankfull for this even if I pay for that service.

What you earn is fondamentaly dependant of the place you live. It seems like SF is quite a hard place to live.

Thank you ! f.lux is a blessing, i use it since a few years and if it happens to use a computer on the evening without it I feel assaulted with agressive blue light.
