Having eaten at a few Michelin three star restaurants, I have come to realize that flavor incompatibilities are all in your head. Seafood flavored ice cream doesn't sound too good, but maybe it is, if you aren't thinking about whe

It's your responsibility, but nothing says you should punish yourself. Say you're on a diet and you go off of it, just get back on without hand wringing over it. If you've ever tried to lose weight and succeeded long term, yo

It depends, but the quality is often MVP level. Some new services are introduced but then virtually abandoned or developed at a snail's pace (Service Catalog, ECS). Sometimes I wish they'd spend more time making the core awesome i

It depends on how the drives are packaged. A 2.5" SSD enclosure is much bigger than the actual storage device inside, which is closer in size to an SD card. Most of the bulk of this Snowmobile is probably taken up by enclosures.

When you deploy with Kubernetes, you need some yaml or json files to define the configuration of your stack. Depending on the complexity of the stack, this could grow to a significant number of files. Helm allows this collection of files to

I remember just before Oracle took over Sun, OpenSolaris was a pretty viable desktop machine. They had a feature called "Time Slider" that was built into Nautilus. It was like Apple's Time Machine, only based on ZFS snapshots

Probably because mainstream distros like RHEL have third party tools available to verify that instances meet standards such as CIS. NixOS might be a great design, but that isn't going to matter to $InfoSecDepartment when they lack the

I have found the same to be true whenever I've tried to do anything in Haskell, especially with regards to error handling. I would try to decide on a specific style of handling errors, but the libraries I depended on maybe did it diffe

That's valid, but ORMs have been pretty standard for years now too. Most mature languages have either ORMs or some database abstraction libraries, so it's good to see Rust getting those now.

On the other hand, if you're already using Rust, why switch to another language just to talk to the database?

They are if you don't know who has the corresponding private key.

In time there will probably be mature build tools to compile unikernels from application sources. Instead of running maven or gradle to output a jar, you'll output a unikernel VM image. Containers complicate things because they add an

M-Pesa got there first and is by far the dominant mobile money system in Kenya, regardless of competitors like Airtel Money. Even people who use Airtel for their phone service will still keep a Safaricom SIM card on hand so they can use M-P

I've heard this before and I have to wonder, do stop signs also seem insane to you? Because right on red is no different. You stop, look both ways, and go if it's safe to do so.

I'm surprised this is illegal. I worked for one company, and was offered a job by another. However, after accepting the offer, their legal department came back to me and said they could not hire me after all, due to having an agreement

Interesting, thanks for the links. Renouncing my citizenship isn't something I have immediate plans for, but I'm interesting in working abroad, so I'm curious to know how the process works.

Supposing one does not want a second citizenship and is willing to renounce their US citizenship entirely, which country would you recommend switching to? How difficult is it and what are the consequences?

Ah, ok. True, when I have had this issue it was after doing something like 'grep "pattern" file | while read ...'. I did not realize it was the pipe that caused this.
139.
by joseph 13y ago
One thing to be careful of when doing "while read..." is that a new shell is started on each iteration, so you cannot for example set a variable within the loop that you can use later in the script, as its value will be lost when

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people name a host after a product, say 'mysql-prod-101', then later they decide to switch from MySQL to Oracle. I worked in an environment where a number of hosts contained 'tomcat'

I have been interested in your company since I first heard of it a while ago so I am glad to see it is doing well. How is the infrastructure in Rwanda with regards to ecommerce? I have investigated doing business in Kenya but two of the big

A bicycle can and occasionally does kill people. An old woman was struck and killed just a couple of blocks from my house. Children would be even more likely to die in a collision I would think.

The only thing I mentioned that did not take place in Israel was the departure from Frankfurt. Everything else happened at Ben Gurion.

You make it sound as if Israeli security is uninvasive. I'm an American who visited Israel last September on business. The security checkpoint before getting on the plane in Frankfurt was quite stringent and was separated from all other sec

But why did they want to look cool, or to have that buzz? It takes some time to get addicted to cigarettes, so if a person continues doing it in spite of limited benefits, you have to wonder what is the motivation. One might argue it is to

This technique is sometimes used in cognitive behavioral therapy. For example, one might record themselves telling a story with the most feared outcome, then listen to it repeatedly. After a while, it becomes easier to face the possibility

I saw a lot of those in Dubai. I have used a toilet such as the one in the article and the "UI" was less than intuitive. Because there were so many buttons, it took me a few tries to figure out how to turn on the water and the drying fan, a
