I've tried all of these tools over the last few years as part of vendor due diligence and none of them impressed me. Code Deploy is probably the best of the bunch and it's really just a very opinionated deployment tool that only w

There used to be one near my house and my wife and I would pop in occasionally. They were always poorly organized and trying to do too much. Nothing ever stood out as a reason to go back or as a "bargain". We would typically only

Most corporations have no interest in paying the cost of running a multi-OS IT shop nor dealing with the challenges of fleet management with both Linux and Mac that make running those fleets more expensive and challenging. That's befor

We have drifted geographically too but during the pandemic I swapped to Roll20 and Zoom and it's worked for us.

Exactly, I'm not going to argue that artists don't have the right to re-release their material. It's the destruction of the original that to me is unconscionable. Imagine this in a historical context, what if the publisher of

This is macabre. I feel like I am going to spend the remaining years of my life watching recycled versions of dead people rather than a natural cycle of renewal and innovation. Dad, I want to be a sportscaster when I grow up. Sorry kid, tha

Same story with the original Star Wars films. Lucas remastered and changed the originals, and you can mostly only get the original versions on VHS.

Plus, a placebo for dumb consumers who thing a bigger package means better or more. It reminds me of a story from when I worked in manufacturing process 20 years ago. A major vendor of sensors and control hardware was demoing a new line of

Honestly, I made the mistake of looking to standardize on Google when I bought a Pixel. I got the watch some Google Home devices and they have in the following years terminated the Fit API, terminated gPay, reduce the integration to Home at

It's always felt like a stretch them trying to turn this story into a franchise. It's like a Death Note franchise it just doesn't make sense.

I don't think Colonialism is the correct descriptor these days for the global Oligarch class buying up all the land future generations would be able to use and locking it away. This isn't just an American problem and it's not

I also read that the hedge fund that bought Red Lobster sold the land the restaurants are built on and then leased it back to the restaurants at an elevated rent. It was how they financed the 2014 acquisition by spinning all the real estate

I'm looking more at the period where Darden Foods was replaced by The Union Group staring with a partial stake in 2016 to full control in 2020. Thai Union Group is a Thailand-based producer of seafood-based food products. > On May 1

Having grown up in New England and moved to Central Texas, I saw two very different opinions on Red Lobster. It's 100% correct that in NE or anywhere near the coast Red Lobster was always considered inferior. The local competition and
