NDizzle

Anyone can be a company if you try hard enough!

They re-added it once the site was accessible.

They briefly had a statement about using Traffic Manager to work with your AFD to work around this issue, with a link to learn.microsoft.com/...traffic-manager, and the link didn't work. Due to the same issue affecting everyone right now.

They quickly updated the message to REMOVE the link. Comical at this point.

It's absolutely not only the admin portal.

It's CDN and FrontDoor at least.

Yeah, I have non prod environments that don't use FD that are functioning. Routing through FD does not work. And a different app, nonprod doesn't use FD (and is working) but loads assets from the CDN (which is not working).

FD and CDN are global resources and are experiencing issues. Probably some other global resources as well.

Hate to say it, but DNS is looking like it's still the undisputed champ.

My best guess at the moment is something global like the CDN is having problems affecting things everywhere. I'm able to use a legacy application we have that goes directly to resources in uswest3, but I'm not able to use our more modern application which uses APIM/CDN networks at all.

Maybe everyone is retaining generalists. I keep being given retention bonuses every year, without asking for a single one so far.

As mentioned below, never labeled "full stack", never plan on it. "Generalist" is what my actual title became back in the mid 2000s. My career has been all over the place... the key is being stubborn when confronted with challenges and being able to scale up (mentally and sometimes physically) to meet the needs, when needed. And chill out when it's not.

I mean - try clicking the CoPilot button and see what it can actually do. Last I checked, it told me it couldn't change any of the actual data itself, but it could give you suggestions. Low bar for excellence here.

Sure. What do all of these events have in common?

Why more people don't keep their cars long term has always been a mystery to me. Sure, I had plenty of them in my 20s when I was young without a bunch (3) of responsibilities roaming the earth. But currently, counting my oldest kid's (19) car, we have 4. I don't worry about any of them. 2008 Land Cruiser and RAV4, 175k on one, 185k on the other. Both bought used. 2013 Sienna, bought new (with a huge discount) - 161k. 2022 RAV4 Prime, 55k, bought new. Zero car payments, zero upcoming 20k battery replacements in my future. I'll sell the Prime in probably 2-3 years for $30k (thanks, Toyota resale value) and get another reliable wife-mobile.

Batteries don't work like that and you know they don't.

Why would it be +1? The Devops duties that were performed on AWS are no longer being performed... wouldn't it simply shift to the new stack?

Do you think Devops is not required when you use cloud providers or something? Of course it is...

Does anyone think this causes problems with HSTS? I had a few clients report issues with our site last week... I was unable to see any kind of problem across all browsers and several geographic locations. auth0, using letsencrypt

I love love love Claude Code. It's my weapon of choice. However, we're still a ways off.

The most recent thing I did prior to typing this comment was have it look at a cosmosdb integration and recommend changes to my CosmosClientOptions to reduce CPU, based on a few exceptions I'm seeing.

It recommended 5 changes to 5 settings, and every single one of them was outside of the allowed range for those 5 settings. I told it as much, and asked nicely (always nicely, I don't want to be on the Singularity's naughty list) to try again, those aren't valid values. It came back with 4/5 values within the allowed scope, one still outside of the scope, and 2 of the 4 that were accurate were the same values that I already have configured.

Not there yet. Better every day, but definitely not there.

This is the stuff nightmares are made out of. Keep that style of coding out of any project I’m involved in, please.

Maybe it's because I'm a bit older school, but I turn these kind of things off traditionally. In my experience they degrade sound quality. There might be higher end (or the technology made its way down to affordable) that don't degrade the quality, but I'm not taking any chances with the amount of coin I have put into my setup.

Well, you were technically wrong. Which is wrong. var wholeNumber = 3.0; - what type will be assumed for that value?

> in my opinion big SQLs are one of the best ways to store complexity.

Only if, ONLY IF, you have a lot of people that are well versed in SQL. It's very easy to write bad SQL. It's difficult to unravel thousands of lines of bad SQL spread across hundreds of procedures / views / functions. Ask me how I know...

I like to think it's more than a nit to pick, but does anyone else absolutely despise the way the sql is written in the example? Join table1, table2, table3, table4... then the "on" logic in the where clause, without explicitly defining which columns belong to which table? Completely unsupportable and wastes so much time years from now. Please don't write sql like that, everyone.

Is the content in these articles incorrect?

What changed?! I'm going to check it out right now!

Because our government has been captured in a way, for our entire lives, that actively disallows it.

How does a thing called "consumer price index" exclude things like energy and food? How is that even close to honest? Friends of mine in CA with $1,000 PG&E bills. Food prices through the roof, $9 for a goldfish carton. But yeah let's exclude energy and food, because consumers - humans, don't require such things.

What 4wd vehicle doesn’t have good ground clearance?!

You don't like ANY of it? Not even Apostrophe / Overnite Sensation?!

Again, "should be" academic stuff.

So you have multiple AV products and you target those groups. You have those groups isolated on their own networks, right? With all the overhead that comes with strict firewall rules and transmission policies between various services on each one. With redundant services on each network... you've doubled or tripled your network device costs solely to isolate for anti virus software. So if only one thing finds the zero day network based virus, it won't propagate to the other networks that haven't been patched against this zero day thing.

How far down the rabbit hole do we want to go? If you assume many companies are doing this kind of thing, or even a double digit percentage of companies, I have bad news for you.

I have never seen a company that uses multiple AV products rolled out to user machines, ever. Sure, when you transition from one product to another, but across the whole company, at the same time? Never... I have also never seen a distribution of something like active directory servers based on antivirus software. I think these stories are purely academic, "why didn't you just..." tall tales.

You use multiple anti-virus products. Let's assume you use 3. Do you have multiple clusters of machines, each running their own AV product, so in case one has this problem the other two are unaffected?

How much overhead are we talking about here? Because if you're just using multiple AV software installed on one machine, 1) holy shit, the performance penalty, 2) you'd still be impacted by this, as CS would have taken it down.

While this is a great theory, how would you actually accomplish this with antivirus software?

Multiple machines, each one using different vendor software? What other software needs to be partitioned this way? What about combinations of this software?

I’m just barely awake but don’t know if I’m affected yet. One of my devs is, our client support staff is, and I have no idea how our servers are doing just yet.
