Surprised to hear you think debugging in kubernetes is maddening. It’s absolutely very different , but if I had to debug a system I knew nothing about, I’d rather debug a kubernetes based system rather than any other. Standards and all tha

Simplicity is easy to mandate: "just use simple tools!". It's not always obvious when the finished product looks wonky and slanted and has to be retrofitted several times that the complexity was always there, in the world.

We make tiny Linux servers packed with real devops tools (but also sporting a somewhat-easy-ish-to-use UI) for home-hosting and self-teaching: https://pibox.io - works great with Jellyfin!

Huge sorting machines drop cards into packs at amazing speed. All you'd have to do is ceremonially place this card into the "rare" pile and watch the machine whirr. No one would be able to tell which of the hundreds of sealed

Presumably the original commenter wouldn’t accept the idea of subjective value or otherwise they wouldn’t have asked that question. Saying “I find value in it” is sufficient only for those who have bought the premise that value isn’t someth

That’s how so much of life is. Moving up is somewhat “meh” and disappointing, but moving back down feels like a huge downgrade. It’s sort of a bummer!

The alternative is to leave dogs to their natural habitat: nonexistence. I really like dogs, so, hard disagree.

Content sites must be free to build their products as they see fit. No asterisks required! Confusing Free as in libre and Free as in gratis causes endless turmoil.

An anonymous source claims they’re not paying a bill that they’ve publicly stated they’re trying to renegotiate. What’s the term, “nothingburger”?

Others are saying "power users", but... I agree with you. It is just an assumption that the "power users" make the product better, although a reasonable one. However, Reddit was pretty awesome, arguably much better ,

The “elite” who brings the world infinite power will be the most famous and remembered and respected human who ever lived, and will live immortal in the history books. Call me naive but I don’t think the desire to keep the status quo is gre

You’re missing the forest for the trees. It’s not about if the lockdowns were better or worse, not even a bit. It’s about whether or not governments should have the power and ability to enact lockdowns in the first place. This was a somewha

I don’t think telling people they don’t know enough about the human experience is the convincing argument you think it is. I do respect you and your opinion though - how can you possibly know what I’ve been through? It applies equally, you

Well said. I’ve had a friend, who is non binary, tell me “they didn’t feel like themselves”. We had a very good chat wherein I revealed, as a straight white male, I too am plagued by the thought that I am the wrong person living the wrong l

It’s particularly underhanded to start by talking about a book in the 90s, conflating it with books today, lauding the book from the 90s and then concluding everyone who has any criticism of what their children is being taught at all is a b

This is made somewhat more complex than might be immediately obvious as there is a huge amount of land which is too cold to be used for agriculture. Plants do not mind higher CO2 levels. It will cause dramatic chaos, don’t get me wrong, but

Just to add a non-snarky reply: I agree, we are lucky, but I fear (especially based on the replies to your statement), the majority of American engineers would prefer things to be more like they are in Europe. "There are dozens of us!&
