I live in Minneapolis proper and my car was stolen last month. Not a carjacking, I was one of the idiots that left it running to warm up. The car jacking numbers are mostly legit, I do not know if it’s “organized” though. Catalytic converte

Same. If you're only telling the story to fill time then write a blog post, keep it separate from the recipe.

I loved this podcast (and all of Carlin's really). One of my granddads faught extensively in the Pacific and I really felt it when Dan described what a land invasion on mainland Japan would've looked like.

I have been working a lot in this space for the last two years but especially in the last 6 months. I believe we're about to enter a phase where much more elegant and less restrictive ETL platforms or frameworks are as commonplace as m

Also went thru this recently and I can empathize with you. Particularly concerning to my situation is the repeal of deduction for alimony payments (enacted in the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017, enforced beginning 2019). It really screwed

> If you can trust your users to have python3 in their environment, I don't see a good reason to use sh/bash instead of python You would need to ensure said users have all the pip dependencies your python script imports as well

Right up until you need to perform some intermediate templating or passing variables from one task to another, yeah, independent bash scripts will do just fine.

by computershit 5y ago
Having used all of the configuration management tools available, and I do mean all of them, I have found Ansible to be the most flexible, the easiest to execute arbitrarily, and the easiest to understand and package alongside applications.

It's literally on the first page of the docs. I don't see what is so hard about this. Most of these frameworks require some research so that you understand the tool works. As an aside, I feel such crusty syseng vibes right now. Th

If you can't be bothered to either `pip install` or `docker run` perhaps Ansible is indeed not the tool for you. What's more, I would assert that "reading stuff" is required for any eng in my industry. Here is a list:
