Grading the homework is not the same thing as providing feedback. A big red X tells you that something is wrong, but not what you can do to fix the problem or even why that thing is wrong.

I built a little toy that watches for node changes in k8s and adds them to haproxy load balancer. Mostly because I wanted ipv6 and digital ocean didn't have a load balancer that supported it. https://github.com/The-Next

I wonder what the limits of this are? From a naive point of view there has to be a point where training/skill/physical endurance/etc. come into play. The bed experiment seems to fit a fixed rate, assembly line style of work.

Not everyone can use them. I have sinus allergies and astigmatism. The combination makes it hard to fit me with lenses that actually correct my vision well enough to be useful and makes those lenses very uncomfortable almost immediately.

There are a few languages I won't touch without an IDE: Java and C#. For Java I use IntelliJ and I don't write C# at all anymore. Otherwise, I use Vim. VSCode is a complete non-starter for me. I glanced at it a long while back and

Reading that, it sounds like a situation to call/drive to/or otherwise get the attention of the police. Attaching a tracking device to your vehicle is a significant indication of malicious intent. It's a potentially life thre

I've actually done this before with Ansible, but it still required a bootstrapping script. Basically it installs homebrew, then Ansbile, asks a few setup questions, clones a git repo with the rest of the setup process, and then kicks o

I'd lose a lot of productivity in without the external monitor. I can work without the extra, visible space, but I'll start losing things or having to bounce back and forth between virtual desktops/spaces/etc. A whole lo

This reminds me of a story I read growing up. I can't find the reference now, though I'm pretty sure I read it in an old copy of "1000 and 1 Arabian Nights". The way it went, there was a poor man who lived above a restau

I've never regretted the time I took to learn PHP. No matter how bad the language may seem, it paid my bills for a long while. It's one those tools that to keep in your back pocket until you need. Keep in mind what it's good

It's a small channel with over a thousand narrations. Still, not being able to tell him how his content break the rules is pretty nasty.

Good Customer service is very contextual. A bank teller line or a counter where you order fast food should be fast, efficient, while attempting to be rude and uncaring. But, you'd want your doctor to be at least personable and a waitre

Another point here is that python is still commonly a python 2.7 on a lot of deployed systems. It's going to be years before it's safe to assume that python is anything else... (Ubuntu LTSs and macOs are an example ...)

I've found the opposite to be true. Knowing how I would solve a problem in more than one language has made a number of things easier over the years. Heck, if you look at Symfony's (a php framework) Validation API https:/&#x2

I've worked with some large Jira installations and I don't remember ever running into 10s page loads without a broken VPN/internet connection. This sounds like a very very broken setup.
