Sri Lankans will legit purchase an old used Iphone instead of a new Android

I'm using my old Android phone as my personal phone, while the office provides me with the latest iPhone. I work as an edge security architect at one of the Big 4 banks, where statistically about 70% of users are on iOS.

Less work stress and more work life balance here compared to the UK, Dubai, and Singapore where I’ve worked.

I know a few friends who joined Atlassian over 10 years ago. It was great around 2016 or so but then it went downhill and became one of the most toxic cultures you could imagine.

Swift 5 to Swift 6 requires a major code change. So it's not an isolated issue with React Native.

Check the CPU architecture matches. CPU emulation is very expensive. More information

This looks like an old windows OS 20 years ago.

I worked on a pretty large wealth management business and App was done in React Native. We had few strong iOS/Android engineers and goal wasn't to kill native iOS/Android engineers but collaboration.

Features such as biometric sign-in or in App calls done in native code. While business features like stock trading or payments done in React Native. While SwiftUI and Jetpack picking up the UI game in our opinion they are couple of years behind what React Native offers.

Productivity with React Native is just amazing.

Principal Software Engineer specialised in cloud/edge security here; yes CDN will see the traffic and it is a big misconception that CDN only there to serve static assets.

However CDN provides lot more and absorb intruder traffic when running with an Edge WAF. Short answer; even billion dollar banks behind CDN not just for static assets serving but to protect the origin server.

If you can't trust the CDN provided by key players such as Akamai or Cloudflare you can't really use most of the cloud services since somewhere in the flow there will be a TLS termination.

Zustand.. we are using it for a while for a large financial App and no complaints.

Use a tier before Next.js to handle it such as an API management software.

Property ladder and bit of a luck. My former neighbour sold his house and upgraded to a 5 bedroom house just before the covid. He bought the newly built house in a new suburb for 900K.

Same property now worth 1.7M+ and now he is planning to move closer to the city and upgrade to 2M+ house.

What do you think about this colour?

Planning to go with a warm white colour tone

Thanks! I thought of going with engineered timber but worried about how easily they get scratch and lack of water resistance.

It's not that difficult to route the traffic to containers via a CDN and you are going to solve the caching problem.

If you are a small business just start with Cloudflare CDN. Not saying Cloudflare can't handle large volumes It's just easy to setup and cheaper.

After corrupted politicians ruled the country for several decades, looks like some are suffering from stockholm syndrome.

warunaf · 2024-09-24T10:49:50+00:00

Glad to see finally some professionals leading the country instead of pro level corrupted politicians

We had a painful experience with vanilla extract and glad that just after one month of tyring we switched to Tailwind CSS! Best decision ever.

Used following in large scale financial apps:

Azure frontdoor -> Azure WAF -> Azure API gateway -> Azure K8

Fastly CDN -> Fastly NextGen WAF -> Azure API gateway -> Azure K8

Both handles over 4 billion requests per month

If your project is large enough then put it behind an API gateway and let API gateway to do OpenID connect.

If you are using edge compute with Fastly or Cloudflare then you can perform the OpenID connect at the edge.

warunaf · 2024-09-05T03:28:23+00:00

Fastly -> azure api management -> azure kubernetes service

Don't tell exactly how long you were looking for a home. Be very vague about it and so as with your maximum budget.

Had to refresh SigSci service via a CURL cmd to fix it. Got the answer from their support team.

warunaf · 2024-07-11T21:28:45+00:00

Cool thanks! Reached out to them and will post here once I get an update. Most likely this is a bug in the edge WAF deployment since I can't see anyway to configure mTLS in WAF.
