   I believe deployments should be described as declarative data, not as imperative code. Declarative: can first be tested, verified, dry-run, and implemented in any language. salt (my preferred CM) has yaml data files that can be analyzed and

   I think we could all share plenty of stories of abuse and having our volunteer time abused or undervalued... It's very overwhelming to have a large public project that your day job doesn't care about. When I find those rare moment

   If macros and ergonomics is your thing, and you don't mind a high cost, I recommend the kinesis advantage. No bling, all function and hardware-programmable, which is very nice to remap keys independent of the OS.

   I know only two telnet bbs software systems that use Utf8 rather than classic 8-bit codepages mentioned here. If anyone would like to see art try them out: 1984.ws (mine, Python) and htc.zapto.org (a friends, C++). Haven't tried it yet

   I appreciated the nosql-like database model of a "notes" and "views". It inspired the way I managed data for the remainder of my career. I believe the concept of "tags" of flickr or "labels" of gmail

    pexpect (python variant of the same) has 750 stars, so its popular. people have just dropped tcl in favor of perl and later python and others ... I don't personally like tcl anymore, but I programmed tcl/expect in the 90's an

    Noah Spurrier did a great job with pexpect, which i helped port to python 3 and add unicode support. I've been in love with pty's in general since the mid 1990's, and naturally found myself maintaining a highly visible python

    I rather prefer this scenario, labeling a package release with vcs revision id or even branch name, for example.

    I think a manager was told to increase the value of the technology stack for a potential acqui-hire. In this case, the CTO may have "sell to Google" in mind.

    Until the generated password is incompatible with the site, or you are forced to reset your password for a site, etc. then it works like any other, and I'll still be doing backups. Otherwise, the idea is great!

    Changes made by GitHub pull requests. I'm sure an anonymous contributor who submits only a checksum change, without version bump, would most certainly fail review.
