I'm no tax expert, but couldn't these losses be offset by Tax Loss Harvesting? It doesn't wipe them out, but does reduce the loss by approximately your top tax bracket.

Take a look at the open source project Keycloak ( http://www.keycloak.org/ ), it does exactly that and takes very little time to setup. The easy way is pretty much: 1. Run the docker container (https://hub.docke

Are you installing docker out of the CentOS repositories, or from Docker Inc's repository? The CentOS version is based on the work Red Hat does to backport patches and create more production ready versions of Docker, so that might be w

Which release is going to be production ready, and which features are production ready in each release? If Docker Inc documented which features are production ready, I'd have more sympathy for that point of view. What we've had to

Do municipalities collect and release any data on how people move around the area? For example, start and end points, with usual times for leaving or arriving. A large enough sampling of something like this seems important for planning, and

The usual idea is (1) to encourage stronger separation between the actual business logic and any boilerplate that surrounds it and (2) to write business logic in a way more accessible to non-developers. A rete-based rules engine is more tha

Business rules systems and logic programming are definitely similar. Most business rules are based on "Forward Chaining" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_chaining ), basically using what we know to satis

At least at Red Hat, it is easy for us to have open source side projects outside of the Red Hat suite of products.

In my opinion there are two key factors: First, OptaPlanner does require a programmer to use. That means a random business user with a problem isn't able to just do it themselves, and instead needs a larger effort to try it out and see

In this case I'm talking about software I didn't develop. Also, developers are not immune to this. Very often it is a compiler or runtime error that tells you where the issue is and sometimes even how to fix it. Person/develo

Are you saying users read error messages? People come to me for help when things break, and ~60% of the time I save them by reading the error message and doing what it says.

The belief that everyone should go to college. What the government spends on public schools has actually gone up over the decades, but a move to everyone going to college means that funding per student has dropped. Edit: Link to source:

For some reason Egypt has shown up as the most rectangular and now one of the most round countries. Goes back to how the average person's definition of these terms isn't capture by the metric. When I say a country is "rectang

If reads are chronological, a simple journal is both simpler and faster. See Kafka for an example of this in practice.

It is honestly all over the board. I've worked with clients that had estimated the return, in many cases because it was very easy to do. Migrating from an expensive proprietary product (IBM MQ) to a much cheaper open source product (Re

Actually, it means a lot. It tells us how much we understand the project's timeline. Many projects get estimated way to early in the process, and the true level of uncertainty at that point is massive. If the low confidence level means

That article is more like asking someone who has never programmed before how long it will take to do a project. If you are estimating something that you have truly never done and have no experience in, then it's going to be more diff

The book I linked up above is one of the best I've read on software estimation. It's short, it covers exactly the problems we run into everyday (managers take estimates to mean commitments, optimism on most estimates, constant pre

And that would be great, as long as doing the software project doesn't take several orders of magnitude more time. You have to be able to estimate the project with some confidence interval to know if it is worth it. If opening a store

The same point as getting a tailor made suit instead of one off the rack: both are non-innovative and have predictable processes for manufacturing, but one is made specifically for your needs.

I'm not really making the argument your reacting to. Software projects can be estimated , so it is possible to understand what their ROI is. I'm saying that, because software can be estimated using rigorous technique instead of

Have you looked at ConfigMaps? They're a newer feature of Kubernetes that is meant for storing non-secrets, but in general works pretty similarly to how secrets work (create config map, mount in container).
