CSIS still seems low by most standards: https://www.canada.ca/en/security-intelligence-service/corpo...

You can get "level 6" salaries as a new grad at a canadian bank.

All about that capex vs opex!

I'm not an NFT fan by any stretch of the imagination but you can buy a reproduction of the Mona Lisa or a fake Mickey Mantle card.

Obviously, the real mona lisa or the mickey mantle card has value because they were painted by famous artists, or signed by a famous baseball player... But at the end of the day they only have value because someone says they have value.

Yeah this can be quite frustrating.

I've had the same thing the other way, where I feel that I usually give kind and fair code reviews (no nitpicking, etc) but have had former colleagues that get genuinely upset and push back really hard when I make any sort of comment on their PR.

Yep! I'm seeing this as well.

I'm guessing they're using watch.ly. I've never heard of the service but it's on the header of the fastcomments blog. Watch.ly mentions a service that will "add realtime hit counters to my products."

Damn man.. I really need to just suck it up and try and get a job in the US when COVID wraps up and we can get across the border again. I don't really want to work there and be so far away from family but it just doesn't make financial sense to keep doing what I'm doing.

I make really good money for my 3 years of experience (compared to others in my city with my level of experience) but it's just such a hilariously large gap at this point that it'd be dumb for me not to at least try and get a job.

On top of the lower base salaries, the compensation you receive in the form of stocks is also a good bit lower.

I remember everyone in my office stopped working for about 30 minutes to watch that dual rocket landing and being completely blown away.

Yup! I got started with this book and automated a bunch of things in one of my internships about 3 years ago. I was in a network administration focused program in university. I decided to automate a ton of the repetitive tasks that people on my team had to do (creating config files with specific line endings for finicky cisco devices, creating an inventory of all our network connected devices, parsing and comparing large spreadsheets, etc).

Looking back, my code was absolutely atrocious and I was on a team of 1 (just me) but this book and that 4 month co-op is essentially what got me to transition from applying to network admin roles after graduation to applying and getting a platform engineering focused role and focus on software development. It's what I've been doing ever since!

Yeah I think that it's more of a hobby for a lot of people than something that significantly improves their daily lives.

I think it's at a pretty good state right now. A lot of the things you'll need aren't exactly cheap (in my opinion) but you can definitely automate a lot nowadays. Check out hassio if you're interested in this sorta stuff!

My biggest gripe is by FAR interruptions. I can deal with a noisy office. I can't deal with people that constantly and endlessly interrupt me because they know I know the answer to their question. Take 5 minutes and try to figure it out for yourself.

CloudWatch log filters are pretty bad too. I basically just use ctrl + f now in cw logs to find what I'm looking for.

Is this Microsoft? If so, good to know they've adopted this policy!

I'm by no means a hardcore python dev but I feel like these are all pretty basic, common things. No?

Yeah...Azure Gov is the same. They'll always be behind the commercial offering.

No real surprise here..

That's a real head scratcher

Ah okay, fair enough! Guess I just don't really have that much personal data but it makes sense in your situation.

Is it weird that I don't have GBs of my own personal files/data? I get if you have movies/tv shows or whatever, that's different. I just don't know what personal data you could possibly have that would amount to GBs...

The screenshot has a tab open on this article: https://www.troyhunt.com/the-773-million-record-collection-1...

I don't think it's from the seller - looks like it was taken by the author of this article.

Agreed! I was going to add that most uber drivers are okay (I've had one or two oddballs but nothing scary, just weird).

I feel like part of why they're shady is because some of the people that partake in them are shady. It's relatively easy to get accepted to them (especially services like this).

It depends on how complex the environment you're working in is. If you're at a large enterprise that wants to build a platform capable of scaling to thousands of apps, you most definitely do need to care about everything written here, plus a lot more networking specific things not mentioned.

Yeah virtual network gateways in Azure are probably the lamest feature ever. Takes literally 40+ minutes to provision one. I've worked about 2+ years on Azure and 5-6 months on AWS and while they both of course have their pros and cons, I prefer AWS for things like this. I do love ARM templates though. <3

Totally! I'm not even a full time JS dev (I just have played around with React before) and I understood all of it.

Reminds me of log analytics in Azure!

Is Mark Watney a cool dude?

Yeah this is definitely true. I think I read that they now include "Commercial" LinkedIn revenue in Cloud revenue reporting.

Pretty sure Google does this too to a lesser extent with including G-Suite in their 'Google Cloud' revenue.
