But GitHub's postmortems are usually related to internal rollouts rather than traffic load

This is a massive commercial product with a serious issue (everyone knows about the flickering) that hasn't been solved for months now. I don't think leeway is warranted.

But my work's VPN is in AWS, and HN and Reddit are sometimes helpful...

Not sure what my point is here tbh. The internet sucks and I don't have a solution

... to live, not work. I can't edit comments from Harmonic.

There's no garage, and the only driveway-facing outlet is at the front door - opposite where my parking spot is allocated (an extension cord would have to go under/through the landlord's cars.) I have to drive 60km to work every day.

Only laws (accommodate EVs and/or WFH) or spending time sitting at a gas station will help me here. No landlord is interested in accommodating an EV unless it's a net benefit to them (and thus a net negative to me, who already spends 40% income just to have a place to work.)

I would love to have gone electric (bought a car in September) but I rent and don't have any way to charge at my residence. How do we solve the renters-that-cant-charge-their-cars problem?

The other option here is "pick an OS and when necessary install newer packages from source."

We've been doing this for a long time at my current workplace (for dev containers) and haven't run into any problems.

Actually in the same comment I replied to, but there doesn't seem to be a way to edit posts in my mobile client.

> Android does provide a WiFi suggestion API [1], but it has several limitations and doesn’t behave quite as expected.

Can you expand on this? I read the linked doc, and it looked like a separate API should be used to used to "persist a network connection" (my words), but as someone with no Android dev experience there don't seem to be any obvious limitations.

You did mention in another reply that only certain root apps can do [what we expect]. Is there a link where I can learn more about that?

I guess the question is "why generate a QR code rather than just connect?"

Is there something special about the Google integrations that other apps can't achieve (I'm not an Android developer)?

Just to add some (unprovoked) additional info here: I'm a 26 year old Canadian. We covered early Canadian history, abuse of the aboriginal peoples of Canada, war with America, and WW1/WW2/the Holocaust.

I don't think we were really taught at all about European/Asian history or the Soviet Union. I think I could have taken some classes related to those in highschool (secondary school), but for anyone working towards a non-history bachelor's degree those courses were generally not something that you could fit in your timetable.

Similarly, I globally exclude `*.tmp`. I can pipe logs or anything else to some `example.tmp` and never worry about checking them in.

We are multi-cloud, multi-region, multi-environment, multi-deployment with hundreds of AWS accounts.

This is split over hundreds of microservice repositories, each of which maintains its own Terraform.

We don't read state from other Terraform deployments, and use published reusable modules when convenient and a tfvars file for every deployment.

At this point I can't imagine doing Terraform any other way.

It would be a tough sell for my org to triple our license spend on GHEC just so we can teach a bunch of folks new software.

We ran into this, informed our users to reinstall Docker (we use Homebrew), and seemingly have had no further issues. I guess we're the minority?

I would be more inclined to blame this on Apple than Docker, but I haven't looked too deeply since things are working for us. Curious about you folks' opinions.
