Can you say more? Their Cloud instances, for example, are less than half the cost of OVH's, and less than a fifth of the cost of a comparable AWS EC2 instance.
I think they meant to say the maintainers for redis-py, lettuce, and jedis have already relinquished control to Redis Inc. The libraries are still online, but their repositories have been moved to the official Redis organization and are "controlled" and "owned by Redis" according to an email quoted in the linked Github Issue.
> he received Saturday detention and a grade of 65 out of 100 on the assignment
The student still received a passing grade for the assignment despite some of the assignment being AI hallucinated text. From my experience, plagiarism is an automatic zero for the entire assignment or course, but there are tons of counterexamples when the teacher/professor doesn't want to deal with the academic integrity process.
> Also, she had to learn what it meant to ride “goofy footed.” It’s when you ride a board with your right foot forward instead of your left. “Oh,” Shaunda says. “Well, I am left-handed.”
I am right handed but would ride a skateboard the same way. I never even tried with my left foot forward. Even visualizing it feels wrong. I wonder why this is the apparently uncommon stance? Some people I think prefer to use their dominant foot to push, but it’s easier to keep my balance when my dominant foot is on the board.
If you’re using TLS what is the concern? I’d be more worried about Internet data transfer costs than that. Latency might be a concern but it’s going to be very dependent on use case.
The patent for semaglutide doesn't expire until 2030 (in the US), so a generic is not currently available. I say this as someone who is looking into purchasing the drug: I don't think many people buying the compounded formula know it is not a "generic" and is not FDA approved. The companies selling it often do not even say where it comes from.
It shouldn't be surprising that Novo Nordisk is fighting these compounding pharmacies that are purely interested in undercutting them. Not to say they need our sympathy, since I'm sure a significant cost of Ozempic is due to the injection pen with a million patents.
GM Denis Kadric (currently rated 309th worldwide) was just banned by Chess.com for allegedly cheating, and has no ability to appeal or see evidence used in the decision.
Not only is the website the de facto platform for online play, some tournaments also use it for in-person games. The site has essentially become a chess authority organization of its own right. Its staff operate as judge, jury, and executioner behind closed doors. While I’m sure the majority of banned accounts were blatantly cheating, their team has apparently taken input from ChatGPT to run “simulations” to determine cheating probabilities.
I think the audience for this is someone who is already using AWS Secrets Manager, but wants to reduce their API usage (perhaps due to cost).
Chamber uses SSM Parameter Store, which for many cases is similar, but some people might have a preference for Secrets Manager. For example, a team might like the automatic RDS password rotation for Secrets Manager and decide to put everything there for consistency.
For Doppler, well maybe someone doesn't want to pay for it, or they'd rather control access to their secrets via IAM instead of through a separate tool.
I worked at a new online betting/gambling company that launched in the US during the pandemic. I have worked at two other jobs since. I never had a problem getting my resume screened, so I don't think it prevents you from getting hired at the major tech companies out there. There are a lot of interesting problems that these gambling companies face. For example, they have requirements about which particular states their infrastructure can operate in. Since I am a Platform engineer / Cloud Admin / whatever you want to call it, this could be a good use for things like AWS Outposts that most companies aren't going to have a use for.
It might prevent you from getting hired at certain companies. I currently work at a company focused on the challenges faced by poor families, and gambling obviously is notorious for disproportionately affecting these families. I was honest with the CEO about why I left (which was in some part due to naivety about the wider impacts the company would have). I got the job without a problem. I'd like to think he was happy for my honesty, but I won't ask him as he's currently on holiday.

> While PII data was potentially accessible, based on our current findings, we see no evidence that such data has been exploited.
How is this possible, when the journalist accessed the data to confirm it contained PII?
Each day I am more and more interpreting "we see no evidence" as "we didn't really look." That way their statement can be technically correct, without divulging any evidence that might be used against them when users sue for damages.

Triplebyte didn't have a relationship with every company out there looking to hire. When the job market is great and you can filter yourself to specific companies, that's great. When those large companies are laying people off and you need to broaden your search, it's impossible on Triplebyte.
Funding that goes to editors (for example, stipends to travel to Wikipedia conferences) has been decreasing steadily each year. It's not due to a lack of money - Wikimedia consistently brings in millions of surplus revenue each year, see WP:CANCER[1] - so it's not clear that an additional revenue source will change anything.
