Adrenaline is a powerful drug. And there's also a 100% focus (or very close to it), something that's really hard to achieve otherwise. Keeping yourself fit counts as well. I don't cave dive but I do ride MX which is also cons

I am a 5 min bicycle ride from my office yet I still WFH 3-4 days per week. And if a daily office presence would be required at some point I'd just switch job.

What exactly is the problem with short downtime during updates/deployments? A lot of people don't care if their deployment requires a few seconds of downtime. And most users of $randomwebsite don't really care if they need to

That's something Mazda studied a few years back. There's no active touchscreens in their cars once they start moving since ~ 2015 I think. While everyone else is still learning this lesson.

Stop trying so hard and just do your own thing at your own pace. It might work it might not work and then you're back to a regular job with regular income, like most of the world. That's not a failure, that's how life usually

It's unstable by design and can't really brake hard without getting rid of the rider really fast. If a careless rider/driver/pedestrian gets in your way, you'll likely be able to stop your e-bike in time as opposed

I've been through an IBM acquisition a few years ago, peak Openstack time. They don't know what they're doing or what they want to achieve. They're trying to buy something that would keep em relevant but the end results

Whoever did it - any further debate along "let's make friends again with Putin and go back to the cheap Russian gas as it once was" lines is now settled. That alone will have interesting consequences across EU.

It's not always about traffic scale. Sometimes it's about having a common deployment platform at different locations, on premise. Where relatively simple and small setups still bring a lot of value via pure convenience - suddenly

When some (in this case Communist) party controls all of the aspects of public life and you cannot criticize it ... I wouldn't call that freedom. In fact, Yugoslavia was a one party dictatorship. Some soft porn on TV (probably in the 1
