Meh. Not impressed by her work at Yahoo either. Most of the valuable contributions that Yahoo made from an innovation standpoint pre-dated her arrival. Also, she was largely billed as a catalyst for sparking Google-esque innovation but her

I have been using it on Ubuntu 16.04 and before that with Ubuntu 15.10 for about a year. Good news is its a first class citizen on Ubuntu now. I have have great success with it on my home server and have plans to try for some prod systems I

I actually see it a bit differently than buying a car. To me it's more like an auction where the person only has to actually sell the item if they are pleased with the final price. So if the price starts at $100 dollars and you bid $95

I did tell them what I make but I didn't tell them what would make me leave because it usually goes without saying... more money.

I have been in this situation before where I was flown out and the company low balled me on salary with 5% pay cut despite the cost of living be way higher. My time and energy was wasted. Trust me, companies do the same things all time to p

The US has said that if the Turkish govt can provide any sound proof of Gulen's involvement they will consider extradition. But extradition requests are denied all the time even between really friendly nations. The problem with this ex

I would like to see these type of free cert programs offered by Google and other tech leaders in the US. I assume they might be but maybe its not publicized?

Weird title as Git and ZFS are used for completely different reasons but I love ZFS as well and the article highlighted some of the finer details which was great.

The antiquated design is really inexcusable for a company that markets itself as "web development experts".

Its nice to get a perspective from inside but the issue isn't human intervention its rampant human bias.

It is being a bit picky in my opinion but the issue is that if this pattern continues deployments could take x longer depending on how long each gem needs to be installed. If the gem isn't required for your app to run why should you wa

I would argue that true freedom doesn't exist nor has it ever existed in the purest sense so what are we all arguing for?

I use ubuntu on Macbook Pro and its a clunky experience for sure. The main issue is that the drivers aren't up to date with the latest hardware so there are all types of bugs if you try into install ubuntu on certain hardware. I would

So true. I had an Amazon interview where I wanted to hang up. There were moments where I would get questioned or berated for not using such great AWS tech like Opsworks and Cloudformation. Instead of being impressed with my completely valid

Alot of people here are somehow turning this into a USA/NSA bashing but thats a straw man. The fact of the matter is you can't be imprisoned in the US for a crime you haven't committed or at least that judge and jury haven&#x

Yello -- https://yello.co We are in Chicago and are pretty good too. Though we are in the hr tech space too so probably why we didn't make the list. :)

Also as someone who lives in Chicago there are tons of two track places in critical areas. They can't even single track. They just shut it down and make you jump on a bus. So it sucks in Chicago too.

NYC is dirty city. When there's trash on the streets all the time its hard not to feel like everything is dirtier. That being said, I feel like it depends on the stations. I would argue that the dirtiest stations in NYC are way way mor

I actually liked the Metro. I lived in DC up until early 2014 and found it be smooth when it wasn't rush hours. But maybe it was the fact I didn't ride during rush hour very much that I liked it. That being said, now I live in Chi

I just checked out Youtube Music today and its pretty awesome and you are able to leverage all the great catalog of music uploaded to Youtube. I'm surprised more people are not using it/talking about it. I really do see this as a

I would tend to agree here to some extent. I think you have to be careful what you lock into. We use RDS and Elasticache but if push came to shove we could easily spin up our own db instances elsewhere or use some other managed service. Tha

I would agree with all your sentiments expect Drugs Inc and Underworld Inc. I don't think its designed to scare old people and the people on the show are not made up. Its a documentary. You take from it what you will. In fact I find th

I think using sshkit and chef-solo you could easily achive the agentless model ansible provides with a more mature toolset and community. I never really understood peoples aversion towards agents though. You literally can create a golden im

I actually have fond memories of DARE. But we had a really cool cop come in the class and tell us stories that were interesting to me. Usually the stories were very honest and real stories which I found riveting compared to the daily repeti

Have you considered another containerization solution like LXD. I feel like testing like this fits the "container hyper-visor" use case and this is what LXD is designed to do.

I thought that videos and lectures were always known be a supplement and introduce concepts and ideas. The real learning is the hands on labs, assignments, and real-world experience which you gain the most value from. But I still think the

Me too. We have noticed a general increase in error rates to S3 over the last month. I wouldn't be surprised if they were battling some ongoing issue that reached a tipping point.

I prefer this method. Having multipe aws dashboards sounds like a nightmare. I would rather use the backup account approach with MFA tied to the administrator accounts on each aws site.

I don't think you are alone in your perspective. But I do cry for humans. There is nothing more powerful that I know of then the human brain. The potential for humans to do destructive things is great but so is the potential to do incr
