My opinion is that just because you can interact with AWS APIs with Ansible it means that you should. I think it's good to use AWS interaction with Ansible for things like dynamic inventory and the orchestration of certain tasks (e.g.

Some people think we don't need sysadmins nowadays. It's all in the cloud nowadays so we only need developers and some of them can do devops. Then you end up with systems where people all log into the same user with a shared SSH

Perhaps the funding he secured involved Tesla's revenue sources to include cannabis operations.

Also reminds me of Richard Lindzen's Iris hypothesis, which suggest that temperature increases in the tropics will reduce cirrus clouds and thus let more heat escape from the atmosphere. Lindzen and his theories are controversial, but

I misread the title as 'The death of John Draper?'. This left me rather confused for at least several paragraphs into the article.

I've had to dispose of a Commodore 64 because the SID was dead, since it's pointless without the sound. This is potentially quite useful.

There are other advantages of being a cheaper remote worker, cheaper than 'market rates'. One is that since you are cheaper, there may be less pressure on you to deliver at a certain speed. Which, in turn actually may allow you

GitLab is pretty impressive with the rate of features that gets shipped, but it does come at the cost of things not always been stable even though I think it's pretty impressive how stable it is considering the volume of changes being

It's great to get so many hot sauce making ideas. I've still got a batch of Trindad moruga scorpion chillies in the freezer after growing them last summer, but they're so hot that I haven't really figured out what sauce

Every few years, over the past 20 years, I look around to see if there are any open source contenders in the ERP space. There are usually a couple, but you never get to hear about them again. I think it's a difficult space to enter a

I can't tell if it's mass insanity or a deliberate distraction campaign to focus on plastic drinking straws. If you look at what percentage these make up in single stream recycling or general waste it is really tiny. This is dif

I went on holiday to an area I used to drive a lot before navigation devices, there I realised how much more relaxed I am if I didn't use it. So I tried to go back to studying routes before my drive and only having a device as a backu

More experienced developers are also more willing and able to take on a pre-existing production code base and clean it up and plan how to divide and conquer to improve, migrate and replace it, while younger developers often prefer to work o

This is also more of a US centric phenomenon, not only because of the investment culture but because it's about the only developed country with a strong young population. That said, as those of us with the experience has witnessed bef

The UK is usually very humid too when it's hot so the heat index (the 'feels like' temperature) is much higher. For example 30°C could 'feel like' 38°C if the humidity is at 80%. Also terrible if you are sweating

I'm not sure about that, it tends to be more interesting than anything else around. Well, except for The Archers, Thought of the Day or when they have a bunch of people talking about an artist or poet from over a century ago.

I have the bad luck of setting a company up in Ireland and thinking I might relocate it to the UK at some point, so I set it up with a .eu domain. It was also easier to get a .eu domain since a .ie requires more paperwork to prove you are

The success of solar (and the end of coal) is really a story of the success of natural gas. Gas turbine capacity was so cheap to deploy that most of what's deployed in the past is enough to cover demand, in other words there are very

It's a shame these didn't sell in the numbers that Airbus initially hoped for, but I also think breaking these down for parts make a lot of sense considering that updating the customer interior of such a large aircraft for a new o

As long as GitLab remains also deployable on your own infrastructure and not become a SaaS-only platform, I'll worry less about this.

I think the most important thing is that the recurring revenue products actually doesn't suck. I think it's because it's operating in a competitive market, where switching is easier so it has to work well and also integrate

Yup, it might be picking up on a few clear negative signals like profit warnings and positive signals like mergers. It doesn't seem to be doing much better than the old Bayesian classifiers on Reuters feeds do, though since it's
