Hahaha, I'm a dinosaur, too. I only started considering nginx something other than "that new-fangled crap" a few years ago. Caddy may get there in about a decade.

Maybe it's a "don't think about a pink elephant" kind of thing? Once one considers the possibility that one might predict how bad the economy will get, one naturally thinks up such a prediction?

I'd just assume the company's already dead and someone's trying to suck some remaining value out of it or make a hail-mary acquisition deal to bail out their investor pals (at no return to employee stock holders, I'm sur

It's much more widely used and has been around a whole lot longer, both of which confer many benefits. Personally, if nginx made letsencrypt as easy as caddy does, I'd never even think about caddy. That's its One Thing that k

Heh, you just made me realize my favorite kind of mandatory fun is the sort that forces a bunch of my co-workers to play some team sport (any team sport, really) with me that I don't get to play often as an adult, because it's usu

They did, but they still seem to be clearly leading among commercial linux distros, and the software they push keeps getting adopted while Canonical's does not. To me this reads as strategic maneuvering by Red Hat within the Linux ec

It's a lot of work, to still be very early in the hiring funnel and not to know what the comp is likely to be. Plus, I personally hate writing about myself, and writing something a bit boastful about myself is probably my single le

Which is a huge difference from Red Hat, which contributes heavily and is very good at leveraging the resulting control of important projects to their advantage. It's why they keep out-maneuvering Canonical, as far as I can tell.

Considering another step is psychometric testing, and given the nature of these questions, I assume there's some woo-heavy tea-leaf-reading process to evaluate the submissions. "This person used 'I' too few times while w

It reads more like a case for caching, or for a much more capable bundler (that can include an "I am version XXXX and already checked this, it's good" note in the bundle). Certainly, it seems like it would have been safer to

The trouble is if you're just idly searching a bit and aren't in a hurry, you might not want your current employer (or co-workers) to start planning to be rid of you soon. At the very least, it might make things awkward.

I agree it's not a great idea, for multiple reasons, but I get why the poster who brought it up would prefer letting bugs slip through to padding everything with more refactoring and adding tests. Deliver features fast(er than you real

Yes, but the point of this was to generate (easy) work that others want you to do so they won't ask you to do other (more time-consuming) stuff instead. You'll have a very different experience telling the product owner you spent

Similar hiding-the-signal tricks: - Set a reminder to go fuck around with your LinkedIn profile for a few minutes every couple months, so at no point are you suddenly active on it (and so, probably thinking about looking for a new job). -

Refactoring and adding tests can be (and very often are) pushed into the backlog, and then never done. "We'll circle back to that after this sprint (narrator: they would not circle back to it) but for now focus on these new feat

Shit, they probably have trouble hiring & retaining people under 40, thanks to the clearance requirement. Big overlap between the millennial-and-younger tech crowd and folks who are fairly big fans of federally-illegal drugs. At least c

$10/m for a household, if this is as good as people are saying, would be a no-brainer subscription for me. Not paying $10/m per person in my household, though. That'd be way too high. [EDIT] Though I guess with no retained se

Notably, around `08 or `09, these cycles stopped. From the outside, it looks like Google stopped trying to fight spam and just gave a bunch of huge sites a permanent boost in rankings instead, so at least some of your results might not be

They have very obviously not given a shit about that since they reorganized their search page to focus on tricking the unwary into clicking on ads by mistake. Which was over a decade ago.

I miss when those settings were separate from "screen time". They were much simpler. Screen Time's more flexible but takes a lot more effort to set up, and I'm never sure I've gotten it all the way I want.

If the rest of the market were healthy, I'd be happy about this, but it's really, really not healthy. Apple's the only entity keeping Google from dictating web standards for everyone, and mobile Safari, specifically, is the o

Use slack on a phone or tablet most of the time, even when actually working. Set a high notification level when "at work" so you are notified even for non-mentions. Bonus: probably the single most power-hungry and memory-eating pi
