I was just using bing translate last night, and it was literally making up english words that do not exist - I tried to google for them to see if it was just some archaic word, and it was complete fabrication. So I dunno how many years are

absolutely - I'm really not trying to detract from Lena Dunham's work ethic (she's a prolific creator) nor from the thrust of the article which is encouraging other people to be prolific creators. -- it's just that if so

Not to detract from the message or discourage anyone from writing, but if you're looking to reproduce the specific career arc mentioned in the article it may be helpful to keep in mind that Lena Dunham started her career with well-conn

imo there's already a bunch of inconsistent nanny-state stuff when trying to use a smartphone as a passenger/navigator. There's things I'm not allowed to do without unplugging the phone briefly, and there's also thi

in my experience a large portion of go programmers seem to think this. I would guess (but haven't confirmed) that there's someplace where rob pike and/or russ cox are on the record telling folks that they don't really ne

i think those of us with the [mis?]fortune to have watched the movie "2010" have this iconic phrase perpetually ready. To be honest I barely remember the movie, but that one line really sticks somehow. The gist of it is that whate

hard to find commercially in the US but we tend to call them "crabapples" (many crabapples are too small or only suitable for juicing but some are large enough for culinary use), or you can look for some cider homebrewing enthusia

+1 to the above. the strangest thing about meditation, in my experience, is there's a state that's sometimes available in which every moment is truly novel and surprising. I read (once, somewhere??) that some lifetime meditators

I've been working on re-framing nepotism as "selective altruism" -- it's like there's an "in" group, within which the members feel completely justified and even a little obligated to help each other out. S

sorry, late reply: REI sells a totally ok pair, i'm not even wearing silk ones. The trick for me is that in this era of remote work, I'm not required to be in places heated to the warmer end of room-temperature. And I can pretty

It's been a while but I used to enjoy telling folks in the early years of their career that software engineers and anarchists have a lot in common because both view "the state" as the main cause of problems.

I dunno man, I'm with the poster above (do we call that the gp?): We have lots of evidence that people in general don't have great truthiness filters for things they read online, and we have a tool that can very confidently say th

hmm I understood it as, "when i push a new branch to CI, I want to automatically deploy a container running that code." maybe I was wrong! btw, imo, nearly all commercial shops' use cases are a long distance from needing ku

I'm one of the sweatiest people I've ever met. I've slowly gotten better at layering and how to use clothes for different situations, but I agree it's a big factor and there's some unwinnable combinations. For insta

It sounds to me like you have a project that involves on-demand deployment of containers. Like it or not, the current standard for that is kubernetes. As someone is already saying on here, there will still be Dockerfiles and container techn

I think tipping at its very best is an opportunity to give a stranger a small gift. I recognize your points -- sometimes it feels like an obligated payment and probably in nearly all cases the capital owning class could and/or should c

with full agreement re. growth mindset, I've definitely worked with people above me who were more, less, and completely un- interested in leveling me up. It still makes a difference.

I expected the example at the end to be kubernetes, but instead it's layoffs. I think the article works almost equally as well if you swap in k8s, blockchain, or a few other buzzy buzzwords, which is kind of a testament to the truthine

I had a teacher (also from Karma Kagyu) who would use a racecar metaphor: the point of a racecar is to be a really fast vehicle. That doesn't mean that a racecar is the most suitable vehicle for all tasks, or "best" in any ov

Isn't it knowing kubernetes now? Which does kinda tend to require you to also know a fair bit of "single machine" admin tools along with a whole slew of new complexity.
