This is fantastic - I'm in a similar situation, and just threw together a quick FZF incantation to look up a device's ID for use in other commands.

In my case, via going to meetups related to the field I'm in. There'll be one recruiter who everyone wants to talk to. Talk to them, and make it known that you're looking for work.

There are a few very good recruiters out there, who will have you interviewing for jobs within days, and probably fielding offers within a week or two. There are also vast seas of terrible recruiters who do nothing but keyword matching and

Find your local Hackspace, it’s probably populated by the same sort of people, building things for the love of doing something fun and interesting. (Unfortunately it’ll also be populated by the sort of antagonistic nerds you’d quietly leave

Also that recipe for napalm didn’t actually work. Or so I’ve heard from, ahem, some people during the early 00s.

You totally hit the mark on being easy to follow, and pleasant to read, I love blog posts like this which don't just dump a solution and then leave it at that but also walk through the process of getting to that point. Can I suggest ad

I’m yet to be entirely sold on that, mostly because I think Nix the language isn’t anywhere near as accessible as Dockerfiles, but I’ll be the first one cheering if Nix does manage to take over.

My read of what José has said here is that the terms attached to that form rule out most open source projects using it because one of the clauses on being eligible is that "your organization must not seek to make a profit through servi

MQTT isn’t designed as a persistent log, but can fulfil some of what you might want to use one for. Each message has a couple of flags, the first being Quality of Service, which as you quoted above determines deliver guarantees. 0 is fire a

Assuming they’ve still got access to the servers themselves via SSH, you’d start by issuing a new root CA cert for the Puppetmaster and putting that in place, then you’ve got to issue a new cert for every client and distributing those. It’s

40 minute latency is fine for a ton of use cases where you'd want connectivity in the middle of nowhere. Things like reporting the state of remote pump stations on long pipelines, or data acquisition from animal trackers for example -

You make an interesting point, and I think which side of it is correct depends what the end goal is. It definitely doesn't help people, particularly children, to tell them they're "lucky" or "gifted" in a parti

I've definitely experienced similar, mostly when thanks are rolled up above team level into large all-hands type meetings though. In those cases you'll get senior managers polling everyone to submit some thanks so that their team

When I was a teenager some friends and I would do semi-regular LAN parties. The adage was that it didn’t matter when we started, or how much preparation we’d done ahead of time, we wouldn’t get past the debugging and into gaming until 11pm.
