I'd like to know.

I want to go out on my own terms. If that means I don't have to save so much for retirement... Great, I can go on expensive vacations now instead of later.

And then I can do what needs to be done without regrets.

My principle dev asked if we could figure out how to invoke Lambda functions from within postgres trigger functions.

I was like, "Probably. But it's like putting a diving board at the top of the Empire State building.. doable, but a bad plan all around."

I remember. The turbo on my 386 didn't make it faster. It made non turbo mode slower.

The episode that really nailed down what a talented actor Jeri Ryan is was the time she had all those assimilated personalities surface and was switching back and forth rapidly, and the bit where the Doctor "took over" her body when they were in prison.

Both times, it was absolutely believable that someone else was at the wheel, and "Seven" wasn't there.

History will forget her.

How many people remember stupid congresspeople from 30 years ago?

Imhofe bringing a snowball to the Senate floor, this disproving climate change, for example. You and i and historians might, but average Joe on the street?

The answer is the old chestnut,

"When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression."

People like those you're responding to often see the world as a zero-sum game. If LGBTQ+ people carve out -- or in this case, demand -- representation for themselves, they believe that representation must take away "representation points" or whatever from some other group.

Frankly, Pride is the one time of year it's okay to tell these people to shut the fuck up and sit down.

I've been spending all my money on being fabulous instead of bribing old white men. I knew I was doing the adult thing wrong.

I think a better question: Why are they reading YouTube comments?

Preachin to the choir, friend. I'd get worked up about it but I'm paid the same regardless of how upset I get.

I do one, the other senior dev does the other. We fight about it in pull requests.

Consumer PCs are almost certainly not covered entities under HIPAA, nor is Microsoft in its role as an OS provider.

Even then, if this whole thing were to result in an inappropriate disclosure by a covered entity, the organization that processes the data would be liable, not Microsoft.

That's like blaming the building contractor because you left the door unlocked and someone came in and stole your cat.

Fun.

From the article, the linked Swagger docs : https://web.archive.org/web/20240120071238/https://mycscgo.com/api/v1/docs/static/index.html#/

And a little more detailed account : https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/technology/tech-news/how-this-security-bug-in-washing-machines-can-help-college-students-in-the-us-do-free-laundry/articleshow/110277923.cms

It looks like these laundry machines are controlled by a mobile app, and requests are routed through The Internet(tm). The flaw appears to be the web service presumes a user is only able to gain access to their API endpoints via the mobile app, which only exposes certain functions to a user.

Once authorized, though, there's no further checks like oauth scopes or even user roles, to prevent someone from doing a little bit of lateral movement to admin-style endpoints.

Lazy. The machine makers should be ashamed.
