I'm reminded of the waste many CI sets do. Where they download the same set of dependencies at the same versions for each run. No effort put into caching thing. There is so much bandwidth used because of that (I've seen the number

I think there's something missing here. In how we operate applications. It's not unusual to run an application on a server where that server is using only 25% of its resources (e.g., ram and/or cpu). Then, there are many diff

There isn’t a large market for that. If you want to sell a repairable laptop to the masses you need the features they desire. Windows is one of those things, unfortunately.

For $15 USD you can get a USB to gigabit Ethernet adapter. Many (most?) laptops don't have Ethernet on them anymore.

The intro has some insider talk (ex, bindle). If you read on a little it describes how Hippo is a PaaS and uses WASM under the hood to make it happen. This has some great potential. Is the node the code running on Linux, FreeBSD, Mac, Windo

I can’t see all the lights on outside from inside my house at night. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of light pollution. Houses dampen the sound which animals don’t have the luxury of having. All that noise could be a real problem for t

Companies that are successful are the ones that meet the needs or desires people have. Some of those change a little and some a lot. Some it’s tweaks and others it’s wholesale change. It’s not about the technology, it’s about the people

I'm not suggesting they do that. GH pages is includes jekyll. It's a feature of their product. I would expect them to maintain that as long as jekyll is part of their feature suite. I'm only bringing them up because it impact

I wonder if GitHub will step in and maintain. Isn't it still a built-in part of their pages stack? Even if there isn't new feature development, if it's part of their stack they should step in and maintain it. You don't w

There are a lot of WordPress sites. The same site reporting the metrics on PHP also points out that WordPress is 42.5% of all sites [1]. That being said, I know a fair number of PHP developers. None of them are in SV or Seattle. They are in

When I think about this I think of two parts of it. First, there are other endemics. Influenza is one of them. In the US along millions get sick from it and tens of thousands die each year. We live within that realm. There will be people wi

A question to consider is, how to we move from pandemic to endemic? COVID-19 isn't going away and will join the other endemic viruses like chicken pox, the other widely out there coronaviruses, etc.

For those interested, there is Rancher Desktop[1]. It's an open source desktop app for K8s and containers. Works on Mac (Intel) and Windows. Apple Silicon and Linux Desktop support are both planned. [1] https://rancherdeskto

I'm not sure the whole reason for Docker Desktop is that Docker and K8s don't run natively. I mean, someone could create a Linux VM and get them running right through there. The tools exist to do this. There are even programs like

Thanks for the feedback. A Linux version is in the roadmap for this fall. I've had several discussions on it in the past week. Part of this was due to priorities and part of it was technicalities. For example, do we put it in a VM so t

To think that someone can just throw their photos in s3 assumes people are ops, devils, or devs. That’s a small slice of the population. What about everyone else?

Jack didn’t overcommit. For example, he played a limited set of events each year. There are some lessons in that. You don’t need to overcommit to be great. He prioritized family over money and success (he could have won more tournaments whi
