this is a very well written book and one I think of often...

I like this essay - took 2 Joyce seminars back in college days and got a lot out of it. Never made it all the way through FW. I am not familiar with this writer but she nicely shifts from a serious to a joking tone. I feel like her breaking

Tom L is a good writer - I have gotten a lot out of his books and articles over the years - excellent point here: "Since February 2015, the SRE (site reliability engineering) team at Stack Overflow has switched from a mixture of Python

The lovely and humbling thing about this it was written 3 decades ago and the examples still work. Makes me think of another short elegant piece by Kenneth Church (?) called "Unix for Poets" which shows how to use core UNIX utils

"unfortunately, the momentum in kubernetes is to leverage nginx as an ingress." Moreso than the GCP loadbalancing or the relatively new AWS transit loadbalancers?

so glad to find this - will look at incorporating with our prometheus setup. We are using OpenResty so the luajit stuff is already in place. I am excited to see what this can do for us. thanks

Agree - not sure what the advantage is. I understand bootstrapping can be a minor irritation (and I dont have a great way to do it 100% auto) Dynamic inventory scripts + ansible-playbook -k -u root .... can do the same thing for bootstrapp

There is a fair amount of stuff online that you can listen to (youtube, etc) I think with Shakespeare (and even more so Chaucer who wrote in Middle English) - if you hear it for a while you can read it better.

I love the irony of writing an article on how one's main study in life is 'nonsense'. I think Shakespeare would probably enjoy such a take and agree...

Or the use of 'nothing' in Lear which is much darker. This is the alternation in Shakespeare from bad, bawdy pun to the abyss and back again

Yes and echos the life of certain words through the play - the use of the word 'nothing' which gets batted around until it is hanging in the air above the stage at the end.

Krapp - as in "Krapps Last tape"?

Yes - a genius. If you are thinking and writing in English today, you do so in his shadow. But there is ambivalence. I don't think Shakespeare himself would have thought of himself in that way - and that would nto be false modesty. Tak

Great essay (Orwell) takes me back. I remember learning Lear (and the other 'tragedies') at Rutgers in a night class in a basement of one of those impersonal brutalist buildings that sprung up in the 70s to replace 'quonset&#

Pretty interesting attempt. The idea of catching where a word pops out of the primordial psychosocial ooze and becomes a signifier is a compelling idea. Cant help but feel that "Using Google searches for words’ definitions" is cat

Great question. THink of a class from years back where we studies Vico (16th cent Italian thinker). Verum factum. We can know what we have made. The rest is theology, etc. I saw this to my preteen kids - when thinking about a job you want t

This works pretty well - we manage ~ 300 severs in a similar manner. One wrinkle is that I ask the new user to add their keys to their github account (ie github.com/<username>.keys ) which gives them the ability to add/del k

I looked around the Make WOnder site for a github repo or something to download and try the language. Don't see it. How do we try this out? I have co-taught a Scratch club 4 times for kids in the 10-12 yr old range. And will teach a Py

Have to agree - bought his redo of Sagan's Cosmos and sat down with family to watch. Serious bummer. On atheism he is tedious - so much prefer Feynman or Steven Weinberg on the subject.
