There are a shocking number of low-effort reddit-like replies here. Can we please not turn Hacker News into yet another blackhole of "joke" replies?

My wife has made hard boiled eggs, risotto (kinda) and yogurt in it. Didn't expect any of those. It advertised yogurt, but I didn't expect it to turn out as well as it did.

This is pretty funny for me to read. As the article mentions many people apparently did, I picked up an Instant Pot on Prime Day last year. I had no idea there was such a following around it until reading this, I just wanted a pressure cook

The Gish Trot, then? I joke, but the whole point of the Gish Gallop is to rapid fire weak arguments. I don't think it exactly fits. As an aside, does anyone know of a good source that categorizes and explains these modern underhanded a

Very good points. My own bias is to believe the claims of the scientific community and is thoroughly revealed in my language. Perhaps I'm the one being bilked.

This is ego, politics and career ambitions undermining modern science. Unfortunately, the fact that this is occurring so rampantly will bolster anti-intellectuals and give them a very potent argument to point to when presented with facts. T

Rackspace spun off both Cloud Sites team and Jungle Disk last year, along with shutting down a team or two. Seems they're focusing on slimming down.

I don't doubt that this is the way to find a good recruiter. However, if I am going to put in the time to vet multiple recruiters in order to find one worth working with, why would I not just spend that time finding a job?

If you read the link, you'll see that one of the people conducting the witch-hunt created an issue calling for a CoC. It's a good example of the mentality and its link to CoCs.: "strand referenced this issue on Jun 18, 2015

I wonder how possible it would be to create a jailed environment on Android or iOS that can not access any of the data on your phone and could be entered by putting in a false password. That would allow you to enter your "password&quot

I agree with this very strongly. It's similar to what happened with blogging. Early on, blogging was people who knew how to do something very well writing about their knowledge and experience. Then it became profitable and the filler a

Interesting point. Rhetoricians and sophists appeared in ancient Greece, becoming popular along with the rise of Democracy. It's believed this is because the ability to argue convincingly lead to sway over the Demos, the people, and th

Good. I've never read a Breitbart article, but there are few things they could say that I would find more distasteful than censorship. Interesting editorializing of the headline on this post.

Interesting! I didn't know that. Was that done as part of the deal with Rackspace, or did they own the property when it was vacant?

Absolutely true. They made the right move to survive in the current market. The change will just require some painful adjustments.

I'm not sure what you're attempting to show with that link. Yes, it's part of the San Antonio metro area. It's not part of the city San Antonio, Texas. Sorry if I was unclear in the distinction I was making, I thought I

Being incredibly pedantic here, but it's actually not. San Antonio almost entirely surrounds Windcrest, but Windcrest is a separate city. There are a few places like this in San Antonio. The city chose not to incorporate these areas. I

This is another in a series of layoffs over the last year or two. They've tried to keep them relatively quiet. They've reimagined the company as providing support on third-party platforms, namely AWS and Azure, instead of focusing

Would you mind expanding on why you're using both K8s and Swarm?

Thanks for the transparency. Doesn't always feel good to have missteps aired in public, but it makes us all a little better as a community to be clear about where mistakes can be made.

This is actually the gap Rackspace is rebranding themselves to fill. They're now trying to sell their "fanatical support" brand, for whatever it's worth anymore, as expert guidance on top of AWS (and Azure). I think it w

We've literally just implemented it, as in this month, and I wasn't involved in the selection process, so I can't say I have a very strong opinion yet. On first blush, it's very similar to NewRelic, with a slightly clunk

We just implemented AppDynamics. I can't say this hits me as good news. Hopefully Cisco is hands off with them.

In my opinion, perpetrators going to jail. Return the money, and you've helped the victims of one set of crimes. Set a precedence and you've potentially prevented the need to help the victims of countless crimes. Not to mention it
