Also I would be fine with studying prions in general. But I don’t think creating new ones is such a great idea.

Docker is the chaos monkey incarnate.

Absolutely agree. It feels like the have a C level just to have it. Not only is that not going to be cost effective (C level titles expect C level comp) but it is setting you up for a lot of left hand/right hand issues even at a small

Does anybody have any practical use cases for this? I am wondering how this would be preferable to something like sidekiq in a large application with multiple application nodes.

I think it’s a bad assumption that most governments would see this as something needing fixing. Even with the current public blowback this will probably just “go away”.

Regardless of personal political leanings everybody should be concerned about the increasingly authoritarian actions of our government. What’s equally concerning is there is no shortage of people that will come out and defend this stuff, a

Let’s be clear. There is a slim chance of death, particularly if you are younger and/or in good health. There is also a chance that you take the vaccine, get covid, and die anyway. Although I am extremely doubtful that those cases will

There is a big difference between being known about and tested in a lab and being mass produced, approved, and administered to millions of patients. The covid vaccines are the first of this class to be broadly rolled out.

Exactly. I am not anti-vax at all, but I am not eager to take a new class of vaccine developed in less than a year. The state government here has been paying for TV and radio ads nonstop with various doctors talking about how the vaccine i

The undersides are going to have to be painted in vantablack or something similar. Then I’m sure people will notice dark streaks on their photos. But it will at least be a bit better.

Cool project. Not a big fan of the name. Kind of hard to sell to a sourcing team. If they called it “Enterprise Ruby” or something like that the conversation is going to be much easier.

A Russian troll farm buys some election ads on facebook and it’s a national security crisis with years of investigations and hearings. Google decides to play god with the flow of information and I highly doubt they receive anything more tha

Assume they had a finalized design for M2 at the same time as M1. If their plan was to produce and roll out machines based on M2 shortly after the release of M1 they likely were not able to do it as planned due to COVID bottlenecks. Almost

Yeah I feel like he has a fairly dim view of a typical lifestyle based on some faulty assumptions. He seems to think that “staying on the treadmill” would be done by most people primarily for vain or frivolous reasons. That might be a part

Reminds me of the guy that created a bunch of fake dating profiles in a small-ish town and essentially did a denial of service attack against other potential suitors.

I can’t remember the last time I went to a theater. For me I got tired of rolling the dice and walking out feeling like I got ripped off.

The author would be surprised how variable and not at all standardized tasks such as welding a seam or putting in an IV are. Sometimes requirements and or regulations (organizational or governmental) create dramatically different practices.

The prices seem very reasonable even accounting for inflation.

I can’t imagine how many people switched majors or dropped out due to having something like Java foisted upon them in their 100 level CS classes. I have been using it off and on professionally for 15 years and I am always floored when I hav

It’s a bit hard to teach these concepts to somebody that has no practical knowledge of earning a paycheck, paying taxes, investing in a 401k, buying a car, etc. The ideas will seem far off and abstract. Kind of like how I could not apprecia

Remember when “developers” tried to update the license on their code to preclude ICE and the US government from using their open source projects due to the “kids in cages” thing? This is much more mild but just as pointless an effort. Do th

Right. We have to come to grips with the fact that not all people are cut out for college or to be white collar knowledge workers. Many of the jobs that these people used to enjoy have been shipped overseas, meanwhile large amounts of unski

It does seem odd. Stealth product. Bold claims. 3 blog posts one of which is a funding announcement and the other two having nothing to do with the product. I am intrigued but also a bit skeptical.

There is a lot of “woo woo” crap in the child birth industry. All the way from hardcore “all natural” proponents to traditional “hospital birth no matter what” people. Unfortunately this causes a lot of anxiety and second guessing on the pa

I think about that often. I know many people that are pretty much losing at life that have voluminous collections of junk. Anime figurines, comics, video games, movies, etc. It’s a sad pathology.

Some of the issues pointed out with the fanciful scenario described are why I enjoy investing in an income focused portfolio aside from my tax advantaged accounts (401k/IRA). Lots of great monthly payers on the market now. Over time yo
