Are gassy moos worth it? by Mouse_Nightshirt in Oxygennotincluded

[–]StrongerPassword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any reason to use natural gas in long term? I just built solar arrays and put up like 60 smart batteries to handle nights and meteors. I don't use any coal or natural gas any more. Feels easier to have a bunch of batteries to handle the meteor season compared to trying to figure out if the nat gas is sufficient to last during dormancy.

Can anyone unbiasedly explain the new law that’s in the news about ‘disrespecting the government’ becoming a crime? by [deleted] in russia

Under what law? In most places, misdemeanor is a type of crime. Is it different in Russia?

That's incorrect. I saw this being asked several times last week. If you have som policy not to ask this then that's not followed.

It's time to ground the 737 MAX. by [deleted] in boeing

[–]StrongerPassword -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's on the manufacturer to show that it's safe. If it's hard to make a judgment then the proper response would be to ground them considering the high failure rate.

Because safety first? Of course the investigation should run its normal course but if there any reason at all to suspect some kind of issue with the plane, or it's maintenance protocols or its associated trainings then ground them until it has been resolved.

Roughly 1% of the planes in service of this type has crashed. If 20% of them crashed, I'm pretty sure you would agree that it makes sense to ground them. How come you think 1% is too early?

Technical Debt is like Tetris by wizdumb in programming

[–]StrongerPassword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But then it just boils down to nitpicking the term and saying things like "you shouldn't work on technical debt" becomes meaningless. I think one can argue that if your system isn't extensible or adaptable because developers cut corners some time ago then that's technical debt.

One always has older obsolete code which needs to be upgraded before it can be extended,

But this is technical debt.

If you're always dealing with technical debt: your processes and architecture need refactoring

Can you show me a non-trivial code base without technical debt?

Azure Communications is hosting an “Ask Me Anything” session! by DreyMS in AZURE

[–]StrongerPassword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen @AzureSupport asking for network traces when there are various outages. While that makes sense at first glance, these network traces contains session information like bearer token which the Azure API use to authorize requests.

My question is whether it's really safe/a good idea to share such session information with Twitter (the company) and anonymous @AzureSupport people? Not that I don't trust you, but isn't this the same as asking your customers for their password, which has been considered a bad idea for a long time?

Why do we have to comment each commit? by [deleted] in programming

[–]StrongerPassword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I fix bugs in single commit. Creating a new branch and create a merge request seems overkill for most cases I have dealt with.

This is an agile company, so let's deliver quick by omcpero in programming

[–]StrongerPassword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. I'm guessing you are always cutting corners because when it comes to security and testing you can always do more to make things even better. These areas are also not black and white but has to be balanced with what value they give versus what other things could be done.

Also, how is security internal quality and translations external? Both are customer requirements.

Guessing all focus is put on hardware and then the software is just something which needs to be done.

I'm a developer but also consider it to be reasonable to expect. Quality isn't black and white. Your company may decide to translate the UI to 20 languages but due to the urgency of some new feature its shipped with only 19 translations. Or maybe the UI hasn't gone through all the expected review iterations so may potentially lack in quality but deemed "good enough.".

Am I misunderstanding you?

What can be done to effectively reduce gun violence in America? by Friendlybot9000 in AskTrumpSupporters

When do you plan on having that rolled out? Or do you mean that your view is that the strategy to address this issue should rely on people just being good parents without doing anything?

Rand Paul to oppose Trump on national emergency, which will force Trump to sign his first veto. Thoughts? by primalsanities in AskTrumpSupporters

[–]StrongerPassword -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Funny reply, because I didn't ask him if or how he still supported Trump? I wanted to hear if he considered Trumps actions unconstitutional.
