This is exactly why I gave up moderation of a sub that was around 100k members. It just was so much spam and noise and poor tooling to deal with it all.

I don't remember what this type of visualisation this is called, but I really like it for understanding disk use quickly. When I wish to drill into detail I find a list helps me more but the box layout is usually where I like to start.

Vim is an IDE, with more steps. Nothing stopping you from having code completion setup in vim and benefiting from the additional meta info.

Mail yourself a pack of blades at the hotel, or source something local (harder when you have a specific need like Feathers, Astra's or my now discontinued Pol silvers) while traveling.

Yeah they don't _have to require SSL_ but I think we can agree that is a worse thing given the benefits of securing extensions and validation of the server hosting them

Git and Mercurial came out the same year. Both were created due to changing licenses of BitKeeper and how this would affect Linux kernel development.

Practicing software architecture should generally lead you to minimize side effects and efficiently manage sections of state small enough to fit into your working memory IMO. FP can be used to get you there, but it strongly optimizes for re

That's not a solution. This requires you to expose those host docker socket mounted into a guest container, which breaks some security mechanisms by preventing isolation from the host systems. Which also does not work on k8s. It does w

Thank you for the kind words. At the very least it would give me space to explore my experience and document it.

Most schools still teach CS, but most the industry needs SWE. So the degree isn't an indicator you know how to build products as much as it is you can't stick out a 4yr program and do Big O notation.

Been using the same buttons as doorbells for a while. The biggest problem is folks don't look at it like a doorbell. We had to write "press me" on it for folks to use it unfortunately. The battery life has been great, they ha

Yeah, the door/window sensors work this way. Just desolder or clip the reed switch and replace with button or switch or pressure pad.

Having specific XP with counter sUAS systems, radar is unlikely to be a working solution given the range, speed, size, and cross sections were talking about for a realistic deployment. Fun idea but likely not going to handle the the claimed
