Men can get harassed too, but threats of sexual violence understandably create a much more visceral reaction in women. Because men usually don't feel as vulnerable they can to a greater extent disregard certain types of threats or not

I came here to say the same thing. That's one thing I really like about Salt is the way everything is really just an easily accessible Python dictionary in the end. It's really very customisable, and does a good job of balancing s

Are you sure about that? Did you skip the 'What Are “Considered Harmful” Essays?' section near the top? Seems the original reference is mentioned quite clearly. quote: > The Jargon File has a short entry on “considered harmful”

'Pyramid of Doom'? Sounds more like something from a certain python web framework to me. ie: http://docs.pylonsproject.org/en/latest/_downloads/pyramid-a...

Not a solution for your case, but this is why I like Lenovo's 'keep your drive' warranty.

> Golang feels very much like an offspring of Java and Python to me. To me when people compare Go to Python, I can't help feeling that means quite an old version of Python (eg 1.5) in terms of expressivity and higher level features.

Rusty Spring? Reminds me of that literary classic by I.P. Knightly.

I work in a small heterogeneous Linux/Windows SaaS environment where most coding is done in Java or Python. We don't use an MS toolchain because historically MS tools want you to use other MS tools almost exclusively. But in terms

This isn't really a new thing. I presume it was already a cliche when The Flintstones came along.

The Linux Desktop has many problems, but I'm not sure stagnation is one of them. If anything things are churning a little too much, and this is before the Wayland/Mir transitions have started to kick off yet.

That brings back memories. Despite the horrible squishy keys that made text entry painful, the keyword entry was pretty efficient once you got used to it. It wasn't quite my first coding experience though - I had tinkered on a TRS80, s

The reason su is a better runas analogy than sudo is that it has a similar scope and similar purpose. While it does overlap su/runas functionality, sudo has a much larger superset of features and policy configuration that su and runas

runas is more of a su analogy than a sudo one.

Agreed, but with engineering though it's never that binary. Each dimension is a continuum. You have to end up picking some point on each dimension that is either good enough or the best you can do with your budget also considering that

Lots of good advice about concrete skills mentioned here already - eg scripting, monitoring, documenting, low level OS knowledge etc. I reckon a good sysadmin also has a hint of nagging paranoia or slight sense of impending doom and is neve

I've got a ThinkPad R51 (1.5GB and a 1.4GHz single core Centrino running Lubuntu) that's about 11yrs old still going well. It has had a mug of coffee spilt over the keyboard while running which it survived just fine after some cle

If only that was cross platform like SSH is.

Yes please. And native rsync interoperability too? I've love to banish cygwin from my Windows servers. Although I'm finding the remote powershell execution from a Linux machine use case is now handled quite well by tools like Salt

Yeah that statement also made sense to me despite not liking the guy. I like to think of "known unknowns" as knowing the question but not the answer, and "unknown unknowns" as not even knowing the question. Of course kno

They have improved a lot recently but some things I'd really like to see... * Ship native SSH (inc scp/sftp) and rsync clients and servers with Windows to make interoperability easier in heterogeneous environments. eg make SSH a f
