I've never felt like a stand-up with your manager-type-person present is ever net helpful. Stand-ups just implicitly become "what did you do yesterday that justified 10% of your biweekly paycheck" at some level, and people en

Agreed. I lived in a fiber city for five years and absolutely loved having gfiber as my ISP.

One thing I'm deeply thankful for is that I was engaged coming out of college to the woman of my dreams, and that Tinder didn't really fully catch on until I was already seriously dating my now-wife. The modern dating market sound

Huh, you're right. I guess the main place DO beats AWS is in their managed k8s pricing, which is funnily enough one of the main thing I use. Is lightsail containers more like docker or more like k8s? It reads to me that it's more

Their VPS pricing is competitive but pretty much everything else isn't. Specifically, I'm looking at EKS vs DO managed k8s, block storage for VPS's, and so on.

Hello from the (ex) sell side. I think it's satire. Pretty hard to tell though. But I think it's just really good satire.

This. DO, imo, crushes AWS's pricing, documentation and ease of use for anyone but big enterprises. I used their managed k8s for a personal project as someone who's never used k8s before and it: * didn't cost more than the $1

Ah I can see that, we've always had a pretty rigorously-respected bedtime routine.

I think the appeal in buying them is that you know what you're getting. You're getting the cheapest possible thing that can be legally labelled as such. Whereas with more expensive brands, at least for me, there's always a wo

We sleep-trained our first starting at about 6 months old, and we're about to do the same with our second. The strategy we used was some kind of incremental back-off. Put them down, light out, leave. Wait 5 mins. Go on, give them a lit

I use docker extensively, personally. Modern web app frameworks, especially those in python and ruby, are super annoying (imo/ime) to operate on a bare metal host, because how pip/gem install dependencies by default is just a mess

+1 to the sentiment. I will say I've occasionally used git-revert, but it's usually when I'm half-expecting to revert it but want to see how it behaves in prod.

FWIW, there's actually a large amount of industry experience in ultra-low-latency Java kicking around the ATS/exchange/HFT space. Island's ECN was Java, and that incubated a lot of this kind of talent. It's absolute

Adduser vs useradd is older than I am and I still can't keep them straight. Just put this with the rest of the fire, I guess, heh!

Workable but no, not suitable. PowerDNS has a lot of features and isn't terrifically simple to deploy. DNSMasq is easier to deploy, but still has a lot of features and isn't easy to configure. The niche I'm aiming for is fo

Heh. I was inspired by a movement I saw a while ago to read old CS academic research, since e.g. quicksort is still very relevant nowadays but is also still approachable for someone with a B.Sc. in CS. (Whereas more recent papers all requir

I recently completed a "software pilgrimage", as I decided to call it in explaining to friends why I did it, of writing my own DNS recursive resolver. I decided to implement it purely from RFC 1034/1035, with no library code

I'm glad java is *finally* getting first-class unix domain socket support. It was one of my only qualms about using the language. I wish they offered more explicit unix signal handling, though I know some of the signals are reserved fo

I'm necessarily saying it's "Trumpers", just that lots of the rhetoric, especially stuff that gets to the front page of r/all, seems to be the kind of all-caps, hyper-reductionist, chest-beating "SO MUCH WINNIN

The financial system is slow. ACH can take days before you can be sure things won't be reversed, trades take two days to settle, there's various anti-money-laundering policies everywhere that generally take the form of holding on

Huh I didn't know that. The firm I worked for did self-clearing, and we had no customers (prop trading). I guess that means these requirements didn't really matter for us because everything was ours?

I also want to point out that there's an emotional aspect to this. Lots of open source is done as a passion project, and passion is a notoriously fickle beast. Things that inspire people to work on passion projects - a sense of ownersh
