"That said, human life isn't sacred. It and everything else gets trades for dollars all the time." Wow. Uhm, slavery is illegal if you haven't heard. We made it illegal because life is sacred.

Well, that's pretty much my point. There was a time when they dominated everything. Now they've sunk to such irrelevance that I don't know what to say, either. They don't have anything I care about. They're about ba

Well, they let go of a lot of people with actual skills and knowledge because they made too much money. People with the know-how (my Dad being one of them) saw the writing on the wall decades ago and hit the door even before being pushed ou

Sure, but I'm pointing out that this strategy relies on real customers encountering an error. I caution people to not forget that is a failure for us trying to ensure reliable websites.

As a high traffic customer of Google, I've been this person far too many times. [...] if it breaks, real users get affected, so canarying should be the first step in your deployment process, as opposed to the last step in testing.

"Or, Trump never claimed that a judge with Mexican ancestry would have to be unfair." Sure he did. Then he doubled down on it by saying a Muslim Judge might be unfair, too. I'm not sure how anybody could fail to see racism he

This seems accurate to me. There are thousands of bugs on the platform that nobody ever fixes. They have yet to add Python 3 support, too. I have been waiting for over two months for a fix to a permissions problem in Cloud Storage that make

My advice: thinking it is just "different keywords" is exactly why you may lose income. The syntax may be easy to change but you're changing an entire stack that will have it's own conventions, history and culture. If yo

And yet he attacks elitism with his particular kind of elitism. I'm not sure this is at all useful. "Go get some more education at an institution other than a glorified vocational training center."

CTOs are not unused to contracts and licenses. I refuse to believe that they are incapable of dealing with outside entities and coming to terms. VMware is just being willfully rotten.

You should look into vagrant. It can help you with many of these things, essentially just providing a framework to get started. Writing the bootstrapping scripts will still be up to you, but it helps. For ntlm there are a lot of solutions f
