This looks like a pretty good hook-up. 1P has always been the standout (non-free) password manager, and Kolide was always on my radar as a good zero-trust device security offering.

> "We expect this change to affect a small number of users," the fruit cart wrote in an explanatory note covering its obligations under the DMA.

"fruit cart" made me laugh, but otherwise, this is quite an annoying (albeit unsurprising move) from Apple.

What does this give me that I don't already get from KVM and virt-manager on Linux? Not getting it.

Yeah, it sucks just like democracy does... Pity we don't have anything better.

How about the ancient Chinese game of "go", next? Not convinced that can easily be solved at all.

Well. These people don't even know that a request to merge code to the trunk is called a "merge request" not a fucking "pull request"

New comment by bradwood in "Ask HN: Why are most Startups asking for US Remote instead of just Remote?"

bradwood — Wed, 21 Jun 2023 06:41:24 +0000

Most _US_ startups, you mean.

Startups actually do exist outside of the US, believe it or not. And you may find that those are a lot less picky than US ones about the location of remote workers.

Deconstruct and aim to solve a lesser subproblem first.

I think you'll find these are (mostly) oil _platforms_ not oil rigs.

bradwood — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 18:53:31 +0000

mathematical intuition? positive numbers when multiplied together always equal numbers larger than either of the multiplicands...

hardly a rigorous proof, I grant you, but surely true?

Indeed, that is exactly what I mean. There are some caveats though -- eventbridge doesn't give strict ordering or exactly-once delivery, so some work is needed to make idempotent consumers, etc. But, on aggregate, it's still much much easier than managing all the infrastructure that k8s and kafka requires.

Having run k8s and Kafka in a previous job (I left before I got the sack) this article rings completely true.

New shop: lambda and eventbridge = life is good.
