Most of Europe has a culture of government-owned utilities and infrastructure, correct? Here in the US, that does exist but is less prevalent. Some government programs end up costing too much while delivering too little, these get a lot of

This is what I've seen (and done) at every place that used containers at any kind of scale. I'm frankly impressed with the people who can sleep at night with their production hosts pointed directly at docker hub.

Did this for years at my previous job to defend against the rate limits and against dependencies being deleted out from under us with no warning. (E.g. left-pad.) Nexus is very easy to set up.

This is using AWS ECR as a proxy to docker hub, correct? Edit: Not exactly, it looks like ECR mirrors docker-library (a.k.a. images on docker hub no preceded by a namespace), not all of Docker Hub. Edit 2: I think the example you give there

Our eggs last year varied between $1-2 dozen. Before that, they frequently dipped below $1/doz. With the price of literally all other groceries skyrocketing, our family made a conscious choice to switch away from higher proteins like b

Well, it looks like you have to install DotSlash.

Huh? I didn't mention anything about accuracy. And "accuracy" (an overloaded and ill-defined term on its own) doesn't have anything to do with the differences between simulators and emulators.

There is LOADS of gray area, overlap, and room for one's own philosophical interpretation... But typically simulators attempt to reproduce the details of how a particular machine worked for academic or engineering purposes, while emula

A laptop that I had would assert PROCHOT if it didn't like the power supply you plugged into it. It actually took an embarrassing amount of time for me to notice that this is what was causing Slack to be inexplicably slower at my desk

From the screenshots (which are videos), it sure looks a lot like what you would get if you ported KDE's Dolphin to Windows.

I personally have a "sandbox" directory that I put one-off and prototype projects in. My rule is that git repos never go in any dir there. I can (and do) go in almost any time and rm anything older than 12 months. In your case, I

I actually miss the concept of house phones. Instead of exclusively person-to-person communication, families would call other families to catch up and sometimes even pass the phone around to talk to the grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.

This is a good point. The distance between versions can matter, but it usually matters a lot less than the eng/ops processes and culture of the specific organization. For my part, every time I have done a major OS distribution upgrade,
