Colleges should just open up. Young students are low risk that they're unlikely to be very sick if/when they contract disease. There will be some old or unhealthy staff members that can be protected. California and NY have stronge

Agreed its very good, but has same problem as Cron with a single point of failure. I want to add I can handle a single point of failure if all job definitions are in git or a directory of flat files.

I've tried to use Airflow but was way more complicated than I expected. I just want to run a couple hundred jobs, why do I need a database? Surely a few files would suffice. It seems a big gap in the market. I can't rely on cron a

The problem I see is 9/10 startups have stupid ideas but manage to pocket millions before the company crashes and burns. How do you get ideas like that will let you live well, but not necessarily be a good business? Doing sensible busi

The guys on our team who have been working together in the office for a while are continuing to work together online. No Problem. The two new guys we hired get little help and they're drowning I suspect. Its just too difficult to help

I've struggled with podman, esp when following tutorials for docker when podman doesn't quite replicate. Is it worth persisting?

This is the crux: > No one will interview someone young to a senior position and vice versa. Actually grad tech roles pay 200k and lots of senior people would like that. If you think that "No one will interview" someone like th

I can't read the article but does it say what it was before covid? I'm not sure if this is a virus related thing or just a longer term trend.

Agreed, if you look at cable news channels these day its all about division and fighting.

You're right, its getting better. Main problems were older JREs, G1 in 11 is better but still locks up. We haven't used ZGC in prod yet. The main thing is dotnet had this figured out 10 years ago while Java is still struggling.

Most AI guys I know are just interested in playing around in pilot projects and learning stuff while they train to get a job at Google. It'll only be a few years before managers figure out there will be very little delivered.

Its probably both cause and effect, but low turnover helps immensely. The joy of working on a project where the whole team has been there for 3-5 years and we had no new people to train was huge. Conversely I've worked on projects wher

Its different if you are 20s and single vs having a partner with a regular job and children in a good school district. For the latter there really aren't that many good locations around the world. Most of those places already have high

I gave up C++ 10 years ago and switched to more modern languages. I figured the language would die off, so am a bit shocked its still so prevalent. I really dont think there is any reason to use C or C++ any more, except perhaps some low le

Credit cards only last a few years before theyre expired and replaced. I'd think only very few accounts are unwatched, after 24 months I'd think more than half of CCs would have expired anyway.

The weird thing is the price of windows laptops have skyrocketed with the shortages. New MBPs are cheaper than X1 Carbons and XPSs with 10gen chips.

I've put on weight, lost a lot of fitness and strength, the stress is taking a mental toll and I skipped a cancer screening test. Its really affecting my health and I'm nowhere near the virus.
