Very happy to find this here. I'm a practicing Stoic, but largely in "stealth-mode", meaning I don't talk to people, other than my wife, about it. Stoicism is a wonderful philosophy for overcoming adversity and, beyond t

dkarapetyan linked a good Cookbook. That's essentially what you're asking for. In addition to that, when I had to learn Powershell I found "Learn Powershell in a Month of Lunches" quite useful. At the time it was conside

As a Sys Admin turned Automation/Tools Engineer, I think you're missing part of the point. You've got the beginning of it right in saying that Sys Admins used to be involved in pinning down versions, and even in why that was

I'm sorry if I've violated some set of community standards. I personally find this article rather distasteful and lacking in details. The cultural signaling strewn throughout it come off as an attempts to raise an angry internet m

An anonymous formal investigation absolutely should happen. The OP seems to arguing that you shouldn't even question someone who claims they are being harassed, and that is what I take exception with. Both people in the situation shoul

What does? The necessity that you should actually show something is occurring before a company destroys someone's reputation and livelihood? Reality is that people lie. Do you genuinely believe that an accusation should be taken as 100

by AlexB138 10y ago
No, actually, it's not. You're accusing someone of something very serious that puts their livelihood at stake. You need to have proof in that situation. It's a very intense and emotional experience, but that doesn't mean

That's not entirely true. I attend meet-ups with engineers from a fairly large company whose name you would recognize who run K8s on bare metal. I know that's vague, but I don't know how public their infrastructure is, so I&#

This is pretty on the nose. It has a lot to do with the diversity of America and the fact that they see most other Americans as "the other", or an out group, and don't want to support them. I don't have the details on ha

Most of the early Somethingawful community is long gone, broken into splinter sites that look more like SA did in its early days. It's now populated with people who are ok with the heavy handed mods enforcing their views through bans.

So what they really mean is "Reddit without anyone who will disagree with your sophomoric views on politics" it seems. It's people's choice if they want to dig into a non-threatening bubble, but it's fairly sad. You

Very true. I use Google Fi, but am about to drop it because the support has been horrible. They're friendly, but I constantly miss calls and their support's solution is to ask me to get another working phone to test with and spend

by AlexB138 10y ago
Indeed. Or the person who wasn't hired. "Was I rejected because I'm white?". Lawsuits aside, that's a great way to build quite a bit of bitterness toward your company.
317.
by AlexB138 10y ago
Focusing your company on hiring people based on their race and gender, rather than their ability, seems like a horrible idea. Not to mention a great way to open yourself to law suits and massive animosity among your employees.

Thanks for the answer. So, again, coming from a place of having done a couple passes of the basics, but otherwise completely ignorant. What is the advantage of having that kind of config info baked into a package vs having it in etcd? Again

This is so transparently a hit piece that it's sad. A weak attempt to divert criticisms from leaked emails with "They're just trying to settle a personal score against Hillary!".

Agreed. The quality-death of many forums I've been a part of came from the onset of users posting joke responses becoming the norm. One joke amid 100 comments can be funny. One quality comment amid 100 attempted jokes is banal and mind

The words "Nazi Republicans get out of town or else" were spray painted on an adjacent building. Are you suggesting someone who didn't oppose Republicans, and their candidate, did that?

Or the fire bombing of a GOP headquarters and physical assault of Trump supporters at rallies. Both of those are significantly more serious than people saying mean things on twitter. I couldn't, in good conscience, vote for either cand
