All this effort, metrics, measuring impact, performance reviews, blah blah blah. You want to make sure your engineers paid top dollar? Tell them to go interview in other places. If you truely value them - beat whatever they were offered by

I don't think symantics really matter here. I largely think of "tech" as companies that produce mainly virtual goods in the form of software. Most of these software is largely skins over databases. In most cases, nobody will

Folks let's be real. While the tech industry borrows terms and procedures from mature and inherently riskier industries like Aviation, 99% of the tech companies don't share the same risk profile. This means that in most cases, the

Yep. I assume everyone already knows that, but shellcheck is great help if you need to go all the way down to POSIX since it will detect /bin/sh shebang and warn about any non-compatible bash-ism.

Cosmo looks so cool. Are there any big projects out there that use it for distribution?

Why it has to be about excitement? Some of us read history books, for example, out of pure curiosity.

I think it's all of the above. In large enterprises, there is usually some sort of global message bus on top of Kafka, AWS Kinesis or similar. In smaller shops, the need for dedicated message bus is over engineering and can be avoided

I listened to the audiobook and didn't get the same impression. I wonder if it's audio related.

Not the same error. It seems like the arm64 dmg is indeed broken/corrupted. The amd64 build works (with Rosetta) - after bypassing the security warning.

Ah, that makes sense, cheers.

That's pretty interesting. What would be an example use case of this?

Yes, Oracle loves making money.

It is not Oracle who are using terraform, it is their customers. Terraform is the underline tech that powers the tooling suit that the customers use to manage their oracle cloud. It makes perfect sense for them to push their customers to mo

Does anybody knows about a tiling WM that allows customising the position of the first window you open? I have an ultra wide display, and I want the first window I open to be roughly 1/3 in screen width and placed in the centre. From m

Hardly an exceptional case. A lot of web shops use auto scaling as means to save money, not to respond traffic spikes like black friday's. What is easier, having a bunch of powerful servers that provides you enough headroom or having t

I didn't claim there is a problem. The original comment made it sound as if docker will expire a cached layer because the (potential) result of apt-get is different, which isn't the case.

by m1keil 3y ago
In Docker, if the layers are cached, the layer with apt-get won't be automatically invalidated (unless --no-cache or any changes to the upper layers).

I share similar caution with tools and multi-platforms (specifically Mac, Win & Linux). However, the format is interchangeable with other Ascii drawing apps and it isn't too expensive. So I'm totally fine with it.

Ah! I vaguely remember rage quitting over the crows but didn't remember which book was it. I should give this another try then.

Apple's Terminal.app had similar functionality for a while: CMD+Up/Down to navigate between past commands and quick selection of command outputs. Other terminals, like iTerm (MacOS only), Kitty, WezTerm and so on also have similar

I think it is perfectly fine to get angry at Apple in this case because the change is only in the EU...
