Re: How to use G Suite as an external identity provider for AWS SSO

Aaron Gibralter — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 12:56:45 -0000

Ahh ok so I was getting this too, and it turned out the usernames of on the AWS side I had created were not correct. E.g. I had made the username "aaron" instead of my email address "aaron@example.com. Basically I didn't read "Enter the user details and use your user’s primary email address (username@gsuite_domain.com) as the username." After that change, it worked.

To the contrary, a strong and competent management employs formal reward-and-punishment mechanisms in order to align the personal objectives of each team member with the business goals the team is trying to achieve. Here are a few examples of such a mechanism (rewards and punishment mixed together):

Is this satire?

"alas if we asked that question we'd probably get an answer revealing bitcoin doesn't solve anything" – curious how you come to that conclusion.

:) back in the day, I tried something similar with Venmo and it was super fun to hear the lady computer voice say "one zero zero zero zero zero zero..."

Is there any way to create some sort of package of RVM with specific binaries pre-downloaded? I'd like to use this as part of a chef recipe without relying on rvm.io.

I'm also confused. Is there still a way to say "gracefully" stop a resque process by first giving the child a chance to finish working for, say, short running tasks?

What I'm getting is that QUIT and TERM are switched now (as they should be), but TERM does not have an option to allow the child to finish one last job? It seems like there should be two timeout options:

1. RESQUE_TERM_WAIT allow child to finish one last job for x seconds before sending TERM.
2. RESQUE_TERM_TIMEOUT send TERM to child and allow it to `rescue Resque::TermException` for x seconds.

Ah cool, thank you!

Re: Converting to the new RSpec 2.11 expectation syntax

Aaron Gibralter — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 13:56:06 -0000

So for one-liners like `it { should be_cool }` we must still use the should syntax, right? I there going to be a movement away from one-liners like that?

What is a better solution for active record associations? For example, I often find "violations" in my controllers when I have nested resources: @user.posts.build I could of course use delegate to make it @user.posts_build... but is that any better? It seems like opinions are mixed here.

I'm not sure I follow... do you think I'm suggesting this: "To suggest anyone has done it all by themselves is disingenuous at best."

Please see my other comment regarding "agree to disagree." I can see how you might mistakenly conclude that, but it would take far too much effort to continue "disqus" this. I cannot tell you how many times I have explored this argument since college with intelligent people who I generally respect.

A whole lot of effort goes into trying to determine what is "objective" aptitude and we are consistently confronted with contradictions. Aptitude tests are better indicators of socio-economic status than any "objective" or innate aptitude. Furthermore, given rigorous tutoring and preparation for aptitude tests later in life most people would perform better on these tests. By preparation, I mean everything from early childhood influences and parental attention to specialized schooling and tutoring. Who hasn't raised their score 100 points with Kaplan?

Our system is unjust, and that is what makes me angry and upset. More private schooling does not strike me as the correct direction for society as a whole. Beyond that, we must agree to disagree.

Does that necessarily mean "putting under-qualified individuals in positions where they can cause others harm?"
