Awk is a fantastic "swiss army knife", and always included (in some form) on every *nix. The article mentions FS but this is easier to access with -F. e.g. for some quick and dirty CSV munging- awk -F, '{print $2}' Somet

I agree, I think I like the idea of DNS over TLS more than the other options, but DoH seems to be the one that's taking off. I don't feel it's quite a betamax situation, though

I thought this was someone else providing an anonymized dns proxy at first, but it's just how to set up your own proxy. Not sure this saves anything over just using DoH to one of the listed providers directly (the requests still come f

My rotation was a bit weird. I was on an ops team for a service, but my ops team did not have our own rotation- each of us took part in the various dev team rotations (the theory is nice, the ops team had a deep view of most aspects of the

Worked at a FAANG, 5-7 was peanuts for the rotation I was on there. The interesting thing (I don't know if I liked it or not) was that when you're on call, that's all you do (even during normal hours, that is), no "norma

Life happens. To be honest I have a good amount of time these days. It's more about scheduling it (and sticking to it), at least at first. I don't think it would take me 4 months to get back to the level I was at (I've accumu

I couldn't agree more. Adding to the anecdotes- it took me a solid 4 months of sitting on my butt, once or twice a day 10-20 minutes each sit, to actually break free. It was HARD, and I've since fallen out of practice. But once I

Well, this seems more effective than a toothless walkout at least. I'm not sure what to think of this really. Does the axed employee deserve praise? What legal ramifications will he/she be facing for the act?

Any ideas how much of a contributor (domestic) air freight is compared to shipping via train/truck? (Is the volume of goods currently shipped through either method even comparable? This is way out of my realm!)
