An event like this, where multiple fibers are disrupted and magically fixed less than an hour later just smells like the NSA, one of the other five eyes or a friendly telco installed a fiber optic beam splitter. https://en.wikipe

Check out the selenoid project. It’s like a selenium grid but dockerized with novnc, etc.

I really like your approach here. There is one thing, I find very nice in Rails and other MVC projects and this is a standardized project setup. You can still bend and break the rules, but the mental effort is so much reduced and the progra

I never had problems finding a job, but I was really bad at finding good clients. I especially hate, when I've been brought in for my expertise and I tell them what they should do with the least risk and best outcome and they refuse, b

I work for a consulting company and we build lot's of applications. You're right, it's much more about building something quickly with a team of experienced devs than it's about maintaining. But they hire a company espec

If they asked you for what you want as compensation, I would guess it was too much for what you bring to the table. You never mention what exactly you did, but it sounds like JavaScript and nodejs from your username. I don’t know how often

Does anyone have a good DSL tool for diagrams showing services exposing ports and connecting to other services and ports? Maybe even showing hosts, docker containers, networks and firewalls? This is something that I tend to draw a lot at wo

I wonder where you live, because I don’t feel like this is the case for me at all. It could also be a thing that depends on the age of the person.

I use the ansible-runner docker container, add openvpn and run this container in Gitlab CI/CD. It's not too hard to figure out how to do this, but probably there isn't much blogging about something like this.

I think there is a limit on how many layers Docker can handle in an image and if I recall correctly the number is like 63 layers. I don’t have any idea why it is like this but it could be chosen for performance reasons.

There are other HN comments pointing out that the proposed solution still doesn't work correctly because of floating point operations. If the goal is to learn something about programming, yes, I agree with you. But if the goal is to wr

I disagree. Your comment suggest that it's obvious to write this way, while I would argue, if it would be obvious for everyone, you wouldn't even need to write these down. Also it implies, that it's obvious, and if I didn&#x2

Yes, I really liked this, because it was well structured and has the style I understand best. What was interesting to me, was the irritating effect the high frequency image has to my eyes. It's like I need to move my eyes very fast whe

The CI is something that keeps me from contributing. I don’t say it doesn’t do it’s job and I don’t say it’s not useful. What I mean is the CI is often set up to enforce rules that aren’t clear when you create the pull request. I’ve a pull

Germany's stance on voting machines is not in a small part due to the history of the CCC and their expertise. Without the CCC it might be much different, but they recognized and spoke about the risks years ago.

A lot of times the steps are actually necessary, because the request isn't followed. That was my problem when I had a coach teaching me about NVC. I wasn't able to communicate effectively with them and I was really stressed out. I

Breaking my state of flow is also something I don’t like about stand ups. And yes, they tend to be in the morning when I have my most productive hours. One solution I found is to write a quick status in the chat and excuse myself from the s

I’ve seen standups with 20 people where 2 or 3 talked for more than 10 minutes. That’s not what it’s meant to be. While I would also like to do the daily status email, I see value in doing a synchronized standup. It helps planning for the d

And those regexes are the first part of an awk script or something similar which will save time when you want to do this repeatedly. And when your awk script grows into something that doesn’t produce the final output, but has to be run in a

Yes, this is the right thing to do very often, especially for one time tasks. It’s not the thing you should do if you need to do it repeatedly, like once a day or even once a month. This all depends on a lot of circumstances, and its hard t

I think a lot of time a client wants the developer to implement business rules, but these change so frequently that developers should not automate it, but make operations easier. In this case the business rule was “every submission gets a g

I think it’s just a habit to turn these two or four versions of using tar into the same amount of one liner shell scripts. Or maybe a longer one with options and usage printing.
