The way I understood the parent is that the Debian model didn't actually solve the problem it was suggested as a solution for. It merely offloaded the problem to someone else. In other words, it has a dependency and therefore is not a

That reminded me of this speech by Jeff Bezos to Princeton: https://www.princeton.edu/news/2010/05/30/2010-baccalaureate... “Jeff, one day you’ll understand that it’s harder to be kind than clever.” It r

You may be correct on all those points but still come off as rude. And I think you're just trying to be helpful and steer people in the direction that you think is right. However, given the context of where you're doing it, it fee

I'm not saying it's because of race -- if I wrote it that way then thanks for the correction. It just happen to correlate strongly with race. I don't know the underlying cause is and your hypothesis is close to my own. I main

First, I'm really sorry that things are the way they are for black people. It's simply enormously sad. And it's not just the tech industry. It happens in other fields too. A really good buddy of mine is a top notch surgeon. H

Having worked at a hedge fund, most "skilled" investors aren't. I would just do what you've suggested and park it in a diversified portfolio of index funds even if I had all that money. I've seen some atrocious usag

Now that you're sort of free from the constraints of a normal 9 to 5, perhaps it's a good time to consider doing jobs that you might have not considered before. A lot of very skilled friends who've retired from industry ended

Oh interesting... a couple problems we've had: 1. The Nomad agent either dies or the process continues to run but in a way that seems unresponsive to requests. 2. When conditions change on the host (low disk space but we free up some d

I've been really happy with most of the Hashicorp tools too (Nomad is a bit iffy at the moment for me). Vault has given us some pretty seamless ways for managing our secrets sharing. I can't rave enough about Consul. It solved som

Yes, yes I do as a developer! The thing is that a lot of these "hacks" aren't even that sophisticated. A lot of them are engineers not paying enough attention. The security dimension of many, many products can be improved tre

Uh... not sure if that's actually the case. Trains are cheaper and actually faster over a long distance. The optimal way to ship is actually intermodal: ship for between countries/continents, trains for long trips over land, and t

I'm not entirely sure your conclusion is correct. Almost 40% of all US freight is moved via rail. The reason passenger trains suck in the US is because our railroads are built for and prioritized for freight. When Berkshire Hathaway pu

I went through the list and the comment about Apache Lucene really piqued my interest. I found the Lucene code in GitHub but some of the sources have more boilerplate Java comments than code! Anyways, I remembered Java Docs are often excell

I can verify that as the correct translation and people in fact do use "kung fu" to mean a skill or an art you achieve through practice. In the part of China where my family is from, people do say "have no kung fu" to me

The literal translation of "kung fu" means skill through effort. In fact in some parts of China, the words "kung fu" is used to mean skill in general. To say a practitioner of some art has "no kung fu" means he

What would be the point? Taiwan isn't going to roll over without a fight. TSMC's physical and intellectual/human assets would be blown to bits. The world would boycott China. The US would shut off China's shipping lanes.
