I think the second one is a massive issue. In an in-person world, mentoring and role-modeling happen all the time. Junior employees see what their seniors are doing, even when the seniors do not plan on being seen . In the remote work worl

It's also an unusually expensive airport to fly in and out of ( https://www.fayettevilleflyer.com/2011/04/07/nytimes-blog-na... ). I was flying for business, like most of the traffic, so everyone is price

Introduce features to users as they continue to use the tool. They don't need to know everything as soon as they start using it, and you want to have the ability to introduce new features later on anyways!

I doubt it, it is common practice for us to use personal e-mail addresses for open source contributions (since many of us have pre-existing community involvement before working for Red Hat). And we remain culturally distinct from IBM. As a

Surprised to hear this is uncommon, I received allergy shots >20 years ago and it was the only allergy treatment (after many attempted medications) that had a sizable impact. Besides the delivery vehicle, what are the differences between

One more use case is that you sometime need to do something, not just specify idempotent configuration. For example, you might have a nightly task to run a script on multiple servers that dumps a data file, then copy those files to a cent

Reading through their website ( https://ansible-semaphore.com/ ), it seems like it comes down to responsive UI with material design, and being written in Go. It's not clear what this offers over Ansible AWX ( https:&#x2F

Calling it dog-whistles instead of calling out specific issues with the argument implies that the problem isn't what he is saying, but that he is saying things that sound like things said by other people. IE, calling it crypto-fascist

It seems like calling it a collection of dog whistles is directly addressed by this paragraph: "The trouble is that Nazis are human beings, and they have many benign thoughts along with their antisemitism. So I might avoid repeating so

For Enterprise SSO, the market that Okta focuses on, Azure AD is by far the biggest player. They get their foot in the door at companies with Office365, which then makes it a really easy move for companies to consolidate all SSO there. Othe

It looks like the value of this business unit has dropped though, UPS acquired their LTL operation for $1.2 billion in 2005. Maybe they just about broke even with the operating profit?

This complaint alleges that AWS is shutting down Parler for the benefit of Twitter. That seems like a stretch, does AWS really have an interest in Twitter succeeding above any other social network, especially when both run on AWS?

As already pointed out, these are not the same. Javascript based custom functions in Google Sheets are actually really error prone, meaning that they will just _randomly fail to execute_. Cells will be stuck with a "loading..." me

This seems at odds with the multiple open source kubernetes distributions on the market. The problem isn't that Docker is open source infrastructure, the issue was that it remained too low-level as a container daemon, didn't manag

This rings true. Systems I manage have gone from using fairly complex configuration management scripts that stand up the full stack, to using really basic scripts that create systemd units to run containers.

The important difference between them is not the syntax they are written in, it is their model for how to configure systems. Ansible is imperative. You give it a list of things to do, and it will do each one, in order, whatever you say. Pup

Totally fair, anyone in the Microsoft development ecosystem has to learn to be incredibly skeptical of anything new. Anytime I spent on adopting Silverlight was essentially wasted. I had one client that had adopted a random WYSIWYG released

There is an in-between option, at least for some use cases: Over time iteratively create a more complete set of constraints/heuristics, use them to generate one or more candidate solutions, and then manually tweak them. Each round of i

Sure, but I'm asking if a physical casino could operate without cash out being an incentive? Say you get a certain number of chips for free each day you come, and then you can pay for more chips.

The article is implying though that actually winning money is not required for people to become addicted. It's as if you go to a casino to play slot machines, with no expectation of ever being able to cash out. You just get high in w

My experience is that you can often find low hanging fruit, relatively easy changes that will have high impact. For example, I've created checklists for some of the processes that we do often, especially when it involves coordinating w

FWIW, both of those examples are not only the executives of a university, but also of a hospital system. The vast majority of college presidents make well under that, with a median in 2015 of 300k ( https://www.clevelandfed.org&#x

Which is why they would never do that. They would instead start with high prices then bring them down, ie you "saved" money.

It looks like the referenced figures are already inflation adjusted and per-capita, so it really is 3x as expensive to educate students today then in 1970.

The article is the one that compared the two, saying that he now makes "more". It is completely correct that you cannot directly compare W2+Benefits to Contractor Revenue. The rule of thumb is to add 50% to a W2 salary to include
