I left CA for TX about a decade ago. I like the heat but it became unbearable. Worse yet, COVID and Trump made the people unbearable. (Doesn't matter which side you're on, everyone forgot their manners and won't shut up about

There were a half a dozen or more "previous Facebook." MySpace, Friendster, LiveJournal, DeadJournal, etc. There were so many during the MySpace era that I've forgotten most and barely recall the bigger ones. There will be a

As someone who has never explored nim but was was just about to follow the link, you have effectively convinced me to not bother. I can imagine the arguments for case insensitivity (not agree with them but I could live with them for certain

"Always," you say? It "always" leads to deficiencies and lack of growth? Shoot. Don't tell my kid, who at five is half her mom's height and is in track to be taller than I am. I eat the occasional meat and ate

Industry wide, we've shifted toward "blameless" operations. People fail, they make mistakes, they break things. That's part of existing. Building a culture that doesn't penalize people for mistakes (with exception,

AS has actually been a discussion. She has a number of indicators that are "AS adjacent," per the last rheumatologist we saw (which I forgot about, until now). It's the best diagnosis we have but the treatments he tried had

Last week's ER visit included a bunch of extra blood samples for a rheumatologist. It's hard to get one to see you without a recommendation. The doctor at the ER, this time, is the first to make that recommendation.

Had another CT scan last Friday, at the ER. They couldn't tell her the cause for the reason she visited (extreme pain, abdominal swelling, fluid buildup) but they did find that blood clot, so that's a new and terrifying change.

I posted to be able to vent a little bit and have it be pseudo-anonymous. The conversation had gone stale, so I figured I would type that out and walk away. We've tried to get into Mayo but they've rejected her because she needs

I don't know how this is relevant to HN but it feels well timed, for me. My wife is alive. She doesn't a terminal diagnosis. But for the last five years, she's had no diagnosis. Visually, she's stunning and fit. Accordin

Numerous! Wow. More than one??? That's nifty. Maybe they should be cops. Anyway... to the topic at hand. How do you feel about violence toward ladies? It'd be nice for one conversation about self defense and violence against wo

Not at all, just that the "men are victims of violence too" whiney bullshit is not a useful conversation when talking about violence toward women by men. It's stupid and it takes away from the conversation and the only correl

Men are victims of men. Women are victims of men. On a rare occasion, women are the ones doing the violence but they are the exception. See if you can spot the pattern.

Because you're a man or because you're human and doing a threat assessment? It's not the same thing. Women are targeted for being women. You are not single out because you're a man.

You don't need the word "pretty" and the use of "girl" is condescending. Women get punished for existing, no matter the shape, size, age or aesthetic.

Choosing to protect oneself and feeling compelled to because of the potential for very real danger are not the same things. Running with a handgun is uncomfortable. The amount of work women feel they need to put in to simply exist in the wo

There's also a "run in, punch a guy in the face and steal the tablet" method. Can't get around that either.

Look at Karpenter. It's working really well for some of our workloads.

Are you planning any posts on comparing your new incident tool to other services? We currently use incident.io and are happy with it but we pay a lot for Grafana Cloud right now so it's worth considering if we can reduce spend elsewhe

How does one get access? I've written CAB processes for this in the past and I'm not sure doing it robotically will be an improvement in that but I'd be happy to take a look. I just put my email on the early access list.

I just moved to New England. There are firewood, egg and produce stands everywhere like that. When my new flock of chicks is laying, we'll probably do the same (we don't eat the eggs or the chickens, we just like the pets). Part o

If I knew at 30 what I know now, I'd have ensured I stayed in that universe. That was a great place. Enjoy it!

You may be right but my position here hasn't changed over the decades, while my politics generally have. :)

I've had an entire building to myself. I guess I made too much of a comment about working from home. We did not have a kid through any mistake. There was an understanding. Sometimes you do things you don't like to get what you wan

I am separated from the house by many doors. Work life balance is only a small part of what I don't enjoy.

I come from a large family. My kid is five. I disagree. Some people like this life. I just don't see the draw. I find comments like this rather condescending. I don't have to enjoy it. It's okay. That was my point. I'm a

That does sound like a good assumption but unfortunately it's inaccurate. I genuinely don't like parenthood. I don't like negotiating with a child. I don't the mess. I don't like noise. I don't like cutting my

I would absolutely kill and die for my partner and my kid but I have the latter because I desperately wanted the former and it was part of the contract. It was the price I had to be willing to pay and I would choose it again.
