So those states are: Alaska (no sales nor income tax, but who wants to live there again? Also, they're super weird politically anyway), DE, MT, NH, OR. These states are not exactly high growth states nor bottom of the barrel in poverty

The states without income tax tend to have consumption taxes that are much higher to offset them as well as property taxes. I've lived in two of them (WA, TN sans dividends) and study after study shows the poor in those states along wi

10 GbE is still iffy even with CAT6 cabling over copper which complicates deployments and user experience. As a result, prosumer type devices like recent AMD x570 motherboards and the upcoming Intel Z690 based ones are including 2.5 GbE por

I don’t know if hardness is the best criteria. I have both rosewood and ebony fretboards on my basses and they feel differently and longevity seems only loosely affected. I’m not slamming down hard on the wood like what happens in flooring

To be fair, all you’d need to accomplish that without more than necessary parts for production is to ensure that the code path invoking the function is accessed via an external monitoring probe with an adjustment to SLA or SLO to account fo

Cargo culting one’s way to attempt obtaining results seems like the default approach of leadership unable to really adapt the proper lessons from other organizations and apply them to their own. If I as a person look up to a world class bod

Forget even iSCSI as the goalpost, a lot of places still use fibrechannel drives and controllers and FCoE makes sense mostly once you’ve hit at least 10 GbE which is a bit pricey for the sake of learning while it’s basically hot garbage in

The study is cited frequently but it’s misinterpreted frequently or in a disingenuous way. It merely says that among people earning so much, more money does not contribute as much for happiness. This has some sad realities: by and large the

Psycho Goreman is a great example of a mid-budget movie that’s 100% about the fun. The issue really appears to be about movie investors being unwilling to take risks like they used to, which makes sense given investor sentiments as a whole

Jenkins can be relegated to simply launching tasks in other systems and having almost no state or configuration in itself then for your needs. One can lock down Airflow access to solely from Jenkins agents or setup an nginx proxy in front o

I think the question itself begets more questions. For example, I've seen Jenkins jobs replaced with an Apache Airflow DAG or two, but obviously that's not the right call for continuously deploying applications to K8S clusters, wh

Jenkins to me is great for prototyping certain process activities in a very arbitrary set of conventions, but it provides a lesson as to why the Java world moved on from tools like Apache Ant (XML-based Make) to Maven (convention over confi

Scala's origins at EPFL under Odersky does give it a disadvantage given the history of academic origin languages in industry. OCaml was made at INRIA and it seems to have suffered the fate of becoming a niche language and toolchain for

A lot of the problems with Scala echo many of the problems that people used to write about Perl codebases minus specific language quirks like typing and objects. The problem with complex, rich languages is that it doesn't guarantee any
