Is Portland really that racist of a place? I have a hard time believing that the majority of people in Portland are so overtly racist that they won't buy a burrito from someone who doesn't look they are they Hispanic. How about a

I agree its a culture, but there is a role to be played, and in all the cases where I have moved teams down the DevOps path it has always started with specialists who can help the team out as they transition. Then there is the operations pa

PowerShell is a little bit more difficult then something like Python or a well equipped Bash shell, but the fact that you can do it shows how much progress it has made

I think this is just a observation that correlates with an increase in the usability of powershell. I have been very impressed with recent releases, they have a lot of functionality built in and the ecosystem is _finally_ starting to mature

Right and then try to participate in the conversation, and you can't, but since its a shadow ban you don't even know that you can't participate. In general your giving traffic and ad dollars to people who seem more interested

Looks really nice. Modern clean layout, uses OAuth2 for login. The content is really light, but I guess we can see how that progresses

I dunno, with the recent changes reddit has been rolling out it is no longer a nice place to visit. There is so much hate and anger on the front page and so little good content. I could make an account, but it seems like they shadow ban eve

You can have Ansible generate the authorized_keys file from a list of public key files, then when that list changes ansible will detect that the file has changed and will copy over the new file.

I thought that was an exceptional way of phrasing that phenomenon, and the best pitch for moving compute back out to the edge that I have heard.

two reasons. 1. Their funding doesn't come out of discretionary spending, they self fund through individual taxes. 2. Their outlays go mainly to older people who have a tendency to group in specific states, and due to the size of the e

I think you could make the metric useful by filtering out Social Security and Medicare which come from different revenue sources then the General Fund. At that point a direct population comparison becomes much more useful

the countdown is necessary because its rude and demeaning for someone to take up everyone time by talking longer then they should. In a perfect world we all agree to the rules and follow them, but like you said even at 15 minutes someone ha

I found the best way to make a standup successful was to put a hard limit on how long people could talk. When my teams were working the best they had a limit of 15 seconds ( I would count down while they talked ). The stand up is situationa

I can, see you took my statement of "works" to mean they could explain to you why the Higgs field allows particles to have mass and then extrapolate that up to explain the existence of a TV. I simply meant they know how to use it

Right its important to protect them from anything bad that might happen to them.

by dkhenry 9y ago
your kids know how the TV works better then you do. If you don't realize this you're not paying attention. Just because they don't care to write web apps doesn't mean they don't know what they are doing.

I think of it less as a slippery slope and more of a base state. All systems will regress to the base state and this one is designed with a base state of segregated walled off partitions, not because people are evil or want it to be that wa

and I hope you continue to be able to do that. Remember there was a time when Reddit claimed they wanted to be liasse-faire, then they got popular then that stopped. It takes a superlative amount of resolve to keep that attitude as you scal

I don't think it will start out as an echo chamber, but as time goes by the desire to limit the speech of not just those limited categories will lead to at least some, and if history is an indicator most, of the instances limiting thei

Mastodon will yield a more insular experience because it allows moderation to happen by a few people and, since they are effectively own your online identity once you have established presence on their server you are bound by their decision

by dkhenry 9y ago
I don't like the idea of walled gardens and echo chambers, which is the major benefit Mastodon is providing over Twitter. Already this isn't morphing into a community where people have more control, its encouraging people to insul

And to have the public discourse continue to separate people into groups based on race or gender or nationality is just a continuation of the problem. If you hear outcry against the plight of white americans in rural areas you make policies

I would debate that this is less racial privilege and more locality based. These areas that are now becoming economically depressed are ones that could support the wage depression that drove jobs out of the city decades ago ( and with them

This is exactly it. We are all pretneding that this is some kind of racial problem that is a big deal because its white people. This trend has been happening throughout the country for decades and we are to just pretend this is some kind of

Yes! to say this is a racial social context issue is so far off the mark as to make this blatantly racist. Compare mortality directly with economic markers, obviously a group of people who historically have been less economically disadvanta

Its previous generations non college educated whites who are previously lived in rural areas which better job prospects then today. The fact that the mortality gab is closing is nothing to do with race and more to do with economics. Showing

The tolerance for abject racism in the media these days is appalling. This article's contents have nothing to do with race, and more to do with economic status. This is the flip side of a media that has espoused the ideals of identity

There isn't a very good automated testing strategy for ansible modules. If you look in the documentation there are examples that should exercise all the code paths, so a future developer can validate it is still working by running it w

I think this is pretty much the thesis statement of "The Road to Character". Another interesting insight I am picking up from that book is that the best leaders are really the ones who know how to identify and pick the "Best
