I'm not in any of those markets but have lived and worked in Vancouver, and if I still did would likely have the same job as I do now. $84k US but living in a part of Canada much cheaper than Vancouver. 4 days a week. No crazy corporat

I guess what I'm asking -- Is simple username and password enough? Is just a "user" level and an "admin" level enough? I guess this is perhaps a bit app specific. Is authenticating against RADIUS, or AD a must? Okta

Docker as a package manager somewhat matches my use, and I think it does its job well. As the packager, I can just create one "package" that any Linux distribution running Docker can install, instead of creating packages for mult

I have failed to adopt it as well, and am still using Vagrant, but as my desktop is Linux, vagrant is a little bit of overkill. The primary stopper for me is run vs start I think - and persistence of the most recent change I made in an envi

Sorry, no answer from me.. But recently my wife was wondering what kind of money I could make in the UK.. 15 years experience, currently focused on C, Java, Python and increasingly Go.

It's true. I develop such software commercially. Sure we have some govt. users, but the majority is the enterprise. Full packet capture for how much disk space you want to allocate to it (many like 48 hours) then longer term storage of

Is there a catch? In theory I like it, but are the users now becoming the product?

Fedora for my desktop. It's cutting edge and has sane package naming. I've also been using RPM based distros since the origin RedHat 4. CentOS on servers. Rock solid, long support. I had an Ubuntu phase when it was first released.

This article caught my interest as I've been reading into Cassandra. But some previous research had me thinking that Cassandra works best with under a TB/node. Is SQL still better when you have really large nodes (16-32TB) and onl

I first started at a small web shop that was quite flexible. There were a few of us who more and more starting working at home, but came to the office the same 1 or 2 days each week, to work face to face and go to lunch... Fast forward a f

So, is there a market for a hosted email solution with a killer web ui that is not hosted in the US? How about Canada? Just wondering if there is an opportunity here for a non-US startup.

Are most of you happy with Fastmail's pricing? I'd really like to switch away from Google apps for my families email needs, but would much rather pay $X for a domain and diskspace, and then create accounts as needed. The family p

My approach may be silly. But 2 guys who know way more about SSL than me, Ivan Ristic (SSLLabs, Qualys) and Moxie Marlinspike appear to use StartCom and Gandi. But also see cowchases message - I'd probably use NameCheap myself if afte

I've found myself in a rather unique position contracting/consulting for a single customer. Basically I charge $8333.33/month whether I work or not. Some months there are only a few days, and others I'm quite busy. While I could probably
