In consulting, I run into this type of engineer pretty often. And these engineers often work at companies that are scared of being disrupted. So my work in "Digital Transformation" is a two part challenge of teaching management to

Working with much larger sums of money quickly distorts your perceptions of what is "a lot". 243k is under the signing authority of a random Director level manager, and to a CEO would likely feel like a rounding error.

To be fair, these scammers already claim to be the grandson. My grandma got a call from me, from jail, in Mexico. I guess I had a little too much to drink at a wedding, and I had a cold, so my voice was a little off. And I desperately nee

I've used systemd to great effect managing docker containers. Systemd can order the start up/shutdown of containers with other dependencies, the most common one being network file systems that are used as volumes. a very simple a

Similar situation. If I bought a home, I would likely need to get more house than I rent (since it needs to be a place I can live for 5+ years). Additionally, in my market housing appreciation is not keeping up with the stock market. So it

New York is a special case. Only city I have ever driven in where a police officer actively told me to drive into a crowded crosswalk because that was the only way you would ever get to take a left turn .

Even if there is registration, that only helps if I can verify that the entire chain only includes registered people. So how can I verify everyone who voted is registered, without also knowing which vote is from which person? Maybe have a s

That will let you verify that your vote is counted, but is there any way to verify that additional votes are not manufactured?

As my employer has tried to define the principal IC roles, I've actually seen the perceived qualifications of the original roles go down. IE, what would have been consider senior qualities are now principal qualities, and seniors need

I hope this can fix one of my biggest problems driving at night, car beams reflecting off of the side mirrors and right into my eyes. Dimmable rear view mirrors are standard, but the side mirrors are still enough to tire out my eyes and mak

I do consulting around Kubernetes, and many large enterprise clients are interested in Windows Containers. The usual culprit are .Net Framework applications that the customer has no interest in porting to .Net Core. I haven't actually

Another favorite: You integrate a "service" by creating and linking a library that implements the entire service, including data access. Now try tracking down everything accessing the "service" database, or rolling out a

Keep in mind, people have to pay for these services. Pay doesn't go up in a vacuum.

Are you claiming that there are a large number of qualified applicants that are currently unemployed because there are no openings paying as much as they believe they are worth? Or are you saying that if they paid more, already employed app

There is no such thing as a zero downtime system, and it is a fiction that makes it difficult to have real conversations about trade offs with a business. Moving towards zero downtime requires rapidly escalating cost to incrementally move t

DC and the surrounding metro area both have a surprising amount of trees. I work in Tyson's Corner, not far from DC at all, and the view from the office is trees as far as the eyes can see with occasional outcroppings of towers. Rock C

Is this true if the request is a POST? Shouldn't a POST lead to a preflight request, and then the browser refusing to send the real request?

100% Agree. I originally got into Puppet after spending several months with a client that wanted me to write bash scripts to push out a major middleware deployment, switchover, and uninstall to 10,000+ stores. There was no standard for the

Disclaimer, I work for Red Hat. That being said... The big things for our customers isn't just support, it is stability. When you build your systems on RHEL 8 (just released), you will get 10+ years of support and patches for that syst
