Definitely true. The author could have chosen differently and it would have probably led to more constructive comments. However, I'll also point out that focusing on the snark and ignoring the rest of the article is also a choice made

This is one weird comment section. There are people attacking the author for a statement made about CoreOS, and for some hate towards Kubernetes. The key point of the article is not really being addressed here: vested interests from large c

I find this a common sentiment here. As someone who left his country to study abroad, I find it very odd. An individual looks at his or her options, decides that pursuing education in a foreign country will result in a better future for the

This is a really nice product you've got there! I actually have another related issue: as an English-speaking immigrant living in a non-English-speaking European country, I get a lot of bills and invoices in the local language. It woul

I wanted to add that, in the US, it isn't primarily the constitution that protects its freedoms, but rather the structure of their government and how it's been setup for gridlock among all the parties involved (not that that prope

My response was in reaction to the parent comment brushing aside the level of ambiguity in the statement, and labelling it as "surprisingly reasonable" based on just another subjective interpretation of it. As for vagueness, the i

Yeah that's likely the reason. It's just funny to me that such a simple hack can confuse Google into not being able to reliably pinpoint the original source.

Do we really need a shell for this? If you're reusing some of these so often, why not just alias them in your bashrc? The interactive shell requires way more key-presses than any of my aliases not to mention sticking me into a shell th

Does anyone here have any resources on writing technical content that would be useful for someone writing a technical book?

Upvoted. This is the best way to find genuine ideas in my experience. I also want to add that I've found a good way of finding problems is to constantly keep trying new things.

You are asking developers to download a shell script from $random_site and run it immediately without any thoughts whatsoever as to what effects it might have. Getting people used to that is a bad idea.
