  • that assumes

    1. the user does have access to a production db;
    2. the agent has access to a terminal from which they can reach the production machine (not in a container, different network, or similar);
    3. access does not require interaction (like entering password);
    4. the agent deliberately decides to access a production database to solve a development problem, and that was not the user requesting it;
    5. the agent manages to find the database credentials in production;
    6. the agent is left unattended.

    Possible? Sure. It’s also possible that I drink half a bottle of vodka on a Friday night and mess up with production.




  • I’ve done it quietly 4y ago, only told some closer relatives. It was kind of funny when relatives I wasn’t talking to told my closer ones that we were keeping in touch on WhatsApp, not even aware I wasn’t in the platform for over 6 months at that point.

    Now after years and leaving 2 family groups, politics, and a whole lot of drama behind, I feel it was a great decision, and the only regret was not doing it earlier.









  • You don’t need that assumption. Your assumption can just be “the person and vessel (or a point in the vessel, like its center of mass) don’t diverge significantly over time”.

    Then, if you treat velocity as a vector and compute the person’s average velocity vector over time, you’ll have a pretty close estimation to the vessel’s velocity vector.

    After all, if those two average vectors (vessel’s and person’s) were to differ much, they would end up in different locations.

    The average basically zeroes the vector for each lap the person does, so the remainder must be the vessel’s.
