> A lot of organizations have legacy code floating around, and using something like a service mesh to get monitoring and tracing for that app is easier than rewriting the app to provide those features itself. I used to work on a legacy P

I often find teams are legit spending more time configuring containers and the ecosystems around them. Far more than using classic servers and more than using server-less. Although the tech is great it seems to bloat quite a lot as of recen

Sounds good - that is one missing feature in the standard IRC protocol that prevented me from using it at work: seeing channel and private messages received while offline. will def give this a go! installing and ircd takes a few minutes, an

That’s odd, which east european country is that? Most east EU nations have very low covid numbers, and people are still allowed to work. Some factories are indeed closed, but in countries like Romania for instance, where people living on th

Europe has already been vulnerable to populism, and this pandemic and the recession to follow will be heavily exploited by far right populists. Also the fact that the EU itself was quite useless through-ought the process will make it an eas

invest in fully automated manufacturing. tax robots per hour of work and output value. implement ubi. stop herding humans for labour in exchange of meaningless pay.

It’s easier to micromanage staff, and much more convenient for playing office politics when on site - hence management is usually against wfh. It boggles the mind.

imo this is by far the most valuable advise. there are so many books out there giving philosophical advice on how to start a business, but really all that matters is what do people want and how many others are supplying it.

The issue is most shovels are free and open source, so shovel makers usually end up working for the non tech saas founders.

And now they are conspiring to make people believe the virus is not as bad as it is, so workers can get back to slaving away, while the government pushes people into their hands by providing no assistance whatsoever.

Pretty much. All of these tricks are meant to cover for gaps in pay or toxic environments. If you want me to be “productive” spare the “motivational” bs and give me the tools i need to get the job done, pay according to my contribution and

At a more basic level, and on point with the title rather than the article, the best decision is should make is stop smoking yet i keep smoking. Wondering what other decisions i make are similar to this one.

Yeah the US is a little more like east Europe each day. Nepotism, oligarchy, politicised branches of administration and military, poor healthcare, corruption and most important corruption tolerant voters. I’d recommend changing course, as t

I am surprised that privacy aware companies are not using IRC more for their intra company chat, and that none invested in a webcam voice chat client for IRC. Even the most basic server can handle thousands of clients.

A partner, kids, a family, those might last longer than work friends who will likely move on from the friendship once they change jobs. I used to be in a similar situation (living in an expensive city, my only friends were work friends, and

Sadly many tech workers can barely afford more than shared accommodation or tiny apartments. Wondering that is the half that would rather waste away in crammed offices, long commute hours and lack of privacy from flatmates.

Gotcha - well either way I am not going to experiment on myself with the gas, but as i said, drink black tea instead of coffee and add beetroot to my diet. I think presenting both pros and cons of an idea is a must in any debate.

Keep writing. Layperson here and I doubt taking in more black tea, zinc, and eating beetroot will harm anyway. Also it appears to make sense that increasing the amount of a molecule that allows for better circulation, and thus more oxygen f

With the enormous amounts of debt the US already has I simply fail to see how the country will recover any time soon (10 to 20 years). I am genuinely worried that the US will enter a spiral it never thought possible (worse than the cultural
