I haven't worked anywhere that's doing containerization since the rise of the container managers being discussed here, but I can comment on some of the benefits we saw from deploying Docker at a previous job in what was, at the ti

I've met two kinds of "brilliant jerks" in my working life. One is insufferable and makes the lives of his (it's usually a he) co-workers such a nightmare that they end up quitting. The other is abrasive but pushes his c

Doesn't Microsoft have their own NTP implementations for use in the Windows world? IIRC, it's called Windows Time Service and it's included with Active Directory. At a previous job, we pointed our in-office linux dev systems

Yes. In a billing sense, since you're not paying for a provisioned server. You only pay for the time your request is executing and your storage in S3. In the monitoring sense, since Amazon is responsible for monitoring the servers and

A lot of these services won't be able to receive a lot of those 2FA text messages. Short code SMS isn't universally able to reach all SMS capable services/providers. I found this out the hard way when I ported my number to Tw

That was the answer the man in the case gave. The judge believes he's lying. His 16 months of imprisonment show that his problem is far from solved. The better answer is to have a second encrypted volume on the disk. Perhaps put a few

The thing to remember about Hitler was that his outcome happened in stages, each progressively more unlikely than the one preceding it. Comparisons to him should really have a date attached to them. It's easy to focus on the killed-mil

The argument is probably that you'd end up in a situation where the highest-paid fields get all the H1-Bs and the lowest-paid fields get none. Workers in that highest-paid field would still get their salaries undercut and, in those les

Wouldn't that be measuring latency more so than bandwidth? You'd run the danger of confusing a satellite internet connection (high(ish) bandwidth, high latency) with a third-world, low bandwidth connection.

This seems like the thing that we'd want cooperation with the browser vendors rather than everyone hacking together some JS to make it happen. If browsers could expose the available bandwidth as a media query, it would be trivial to ha

It's probably a "forrest for the trees" problem...the developers of a language will have their perspective colored by low-level implementation details. As an example, I found the explanation of trait objects incredibly confus

I'm probably in the minority, but Uber's fares aren't what make me prefer them over traditional cabs. The up-front pricing, which limits scams, is a huge plus. And the lack of ability for drivers to discriminate against minor

One small nit to what you've said. Breath control is core to yogic practices, as you've mentioned, but it is not part of most meditative practice. Meditation typically involves breath awareness, but specifically not control. The i
