I saw an interview[0] last week where the guest recommended biltong, or leaving bread to go slightly stale before serving it. He also goes into some research on the effects that our diet changes are having on short-sightedness; slightly ram

This is news to me, do you have any links to k8s's support for blue-green deploys? I've been holding off setting up a system like Spinnaker because I'd read it was coming (in the form of custom deployment strategies), but can

It's a bit of a leap to assume that behavior like that is evidence of nefarious activity; ask yourself, if you were implementing some sort of secret signalling layer, would you design one that uses simple English words, and whose failu

I came across a video yesterday about how Dead Cells uses a similar generation method (random composition of pre-designed tiles), as well as some other interesting UX hacks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv5NwboDDhk

Regarding deploying servers that you don’t have access to, you could deploy them with a boot loader that netboots signed images, require a certain number of developers to sign each image. I’ve considered something similar for deploying k8s

There's an old project from Facebook that does something like this, called Pfff[0] It provides a tool called sgrep (syntactical grep) that lets you do some cool tricks, for instance: `sgrep "some_func(X,X)"` returns all calls

I'm sure there are technicalities to it, but the Australian parliament allowed a new vote just this year.[0] In short, the governing party voted in favour of a motion that "It's okay to be white". The vote failed to pass

Glances is a very sleek tool, but it comes at a cost: CPU usage. As a ballpark measurement, running htop for 60s with a 3s refresh interval takes 0.2s of user time. Running glances (even with almost all modules plugins disabled) for the sam

For me, it depends on the context. In a B2B transaction, my basic assumption is that the vendor will ensure that the goods are delivered, and will make things right if they fail. In my personal life on the other hand, I'm regularly pro
