Funny part: I initially thought you were referring to the word “Byzantine” itself, which tends to carry a negative connotation in English, mostly due to historical bias. But you’re actually talking about Ruby! If we were to take Byzantine i

Seriously, make it a habit to say “Good morning” or “Good evening” with a warm smile the first time you make eye contact with another guest at a hotel, whether it’s during check-in or at breakfast. This is especially important if you’re sta

In many cases, people are satisfied with responses that are almost or somewhat correct. That's a valid approach - that's exactly how prometheus monitoring works (pull-based metrics): we don't see the details of that spike

The one we have right now is a stochastic - a good one, but it’s not the SCiFi AI, not even close. So I am not sure how an LLM without an operator makes any sense or if it counts as “something” in this context.

Because most people will use it without reading the license, giving them the upper hand when they might needed it? Might sound a but harsh, but we're talking about Microsoft.

I’ve been using MacPorts for over 10 years now. As far as I know, version stubbing isn’t supported—you have to upgrade regardless. Another feature I find missing is the ability to sync installations across multiple systems. For example, if

My experience is quite the opposite - I'm actually thinking about subscribing to the NYT (again) or The Atlantic (despite their higher cost) purely for the quality of their writing.

Kustomize is easier to manage at scale, but some upfront effort is required. Many charts are distributed as Helm packages, so you’ll often need to export them as raw YAML manifests. In an ideal setup, ArgoCD combined with Kustomize should c

Yes, but don’t twist it: it’s VC money, greedy corporations and personal data exploitation that enabled all that. Not those who came to expect expensive services for free.

To add to the comment: If you want to be the capital of an empire, you have to act like it—like Troy, Rome, or Constantinople—meaning you run deficits and play buyer of last resort. When you are no longer that, the empire has indeed collaps

A common misconception - often echoed on this site - is that NATO allies and the U.S. operate on equal terms. They don’t. If the U.S. wants to sell 100 F-35s to European nations, it will happen. Even today, with all this talk around NATO, t
