Puppet is one of the DevOps configuration languages. IIRC it had mostly "won" against Chef, and subsequently "lost" against Ansible. Perforce is basically Git, but shittier and proprietary. I think it's mostly popul

Yeah, doing some home renovation work with my dad in confined spaces, I noticed he bumps his head A LOT (way more than me). The main difference between us is amount of hair on our domes (he's got practically none).

I basically had the opposite experience last time I tried skiing. After snowboarding at least weekly for most of my teens, just going down the slope facing it triggers my reflexes and I keep trying to lift my toes.

About 10 years ago, IBM used to use the 9.0.0.0/8 space in basically exactly the same way as one would use 10.0.0.0/8, for internal-only networking. Each workstation got its own 9.x.x.x IP, but it wasn't routable from outside

I've sold all my previous boats for more than I bought them. Once the boat is 30+ years old, price depends a lot on condition. For example, I bought my second boat in some dude's backyard, in the middle of some major renovations t

My marina is mostly full of working-class people. It's just that they chose to buy a boat instead of an RV (total cost of ownership is similar).

Sounds like the small slice of hell that is a low battery in most smoke detectors: one short (and loud AF) beep every ~15 minutes. Fine when you have only one, but in a large house you never know which one of these f*ckers is actually the o

Yeah, as a Canadian all of this seems pretty alien to me. To get my mortgage, I went to a specific bank, signed a contract with their logo at the top, the amount I owe / pay shows up in my online at that bank, and I send money every mo

Most of them are not very close at all, but "we" also invested in long-distance transport at 735 kV (among the highest voltages in use at the time), which reduces losses. A good chunk of it came down in the late 1990s due to a fre

It really depends on your electricity prices. For example, here in Québec (where electricity if very cheap) we don't really see solar panels, but cross over to Ontario and you'll see fields of them. The solar panels I see around h

In Québec we have similar prices throughout the province. "We" massively invested in hydro power back in the 60s-70s, and it's paying off very nicely. What's funny is that everyone still complains about their Hydro bill,

As a non-US citizen, that's what I find most troubling about this. Change the countries and it's immediately apparent how absurd it is: Imagine a US citizen living in Mexico exposed some Peruvian state secrets (doing something whi

It's even funnier when you're learning multiplications and divisions. We still have to think when we do 4 times 20, and every time we realize it's right there in the name.

Autocomplete is much better. For example, just typing "y" displays "arn start" in gray _after_ my cursor. I can then refine my command, or use right-arrow to accept the suggestion. And this is just one example; fish is f

This is obviously going to be region-dependent, but I don't think upgrading the grid is avoidable, even if we kept using ICE cars. Energy usage _is_ going to continue increasing as population grows and HVAC requirements increase. Also,

On a ISO layout (with the inverted-L "enter" key), you also get ù between left shift and z. Accolades ({}) and brackets ([]) are on alt-7-8 and alt-9-0. A bit annoying to type, but manageable. At least it's somewhat logical (

They deprecated the "brew cask install" then completely removed it only ~20 days later (in late December!), breaking many other projects in the process. I'm a bit wary on relying on it now. It's a shame, because it'

Not the user you were asking, but the way we do it is that the OpenAPI/Swagger spec is auto-generated from server-side code (a C# .NET app with the ABP framework) during the CI build, and that is then used to auto-generate an API clien

This looks cool, but... We couldn't even maintain Arecibo enough to prevent its collapse, and it was here on earth. What's going to happen to a telescope like this?

One annoying issue with translated apps the author doesn't cover is "googlability", the fact that we often need to google an error message or menu label in order to solve a problem. This leads to a lot of bilingual people run

About as good as you'd expect the rear seat of a sedan to be. We fell asleep like rocks at the hotel.

Actually, I do. I pretty much always stop at least once every 3 hours; I need to pee, eat and the kids need to move around a little.

Each one takes about 10 seconds, so not even 5 minutes total... You're lucky if it takes less than that filling up, actually. Having just one person in front of you will easily double that time.

Easy: instead of "./the-script.sh", I run "bash the-script.sh". You can still type "bash" to get bash.
