I really wish people (and redhat) just stop using XFS altogether. I have seen it break multiple times with two different scenarios: 1) Backup system with external media (usb3) on XFS. The USB link goes down, the kernel panics inside some XF

For me, it's all about doing less. Remove all the cruft and see what happens. You will find out if it's working if you start missing the flow of time. When you are in the flow, there is no past and no future. You are just into &qu

"If I need quick hot fix RIGHT NOW, I can't just log in, change couple of lines and restart, must go through full deploy cycle." If you have CI/CD, and you must have CI/CD, this should never be done. As soon as it i

Brazilian here. Our law is incompatible with the Internet as we know it. Below is a brief excerpt from our 1989 Constitution, translated by myself: Art. 5º Todos são iguais perante a lei, sem distinção de qualquer natureza, garantindo-se ao

In your position I would save 90% on the safest type of account you can get (big bank, insured). The remaining 10% I would spend trying to bootstrap some business. There's a big chance of failing, but if you fail you will still have a

I dislike nitpicking, but the following is wrong: "In C, bodies[i] is exactly the same as *(bodies + i) — it performs pointer arithmetic and a dereference and nothing else. In particular, it assumes that you have some reason to k

Its simple if your are an employee and complex if you are an employer. For the self employed there is a super simple filling up to a certain threshold. Companies also have additional requirements based on revenue brackets, number of employe

The article is very good, but there is another dimension to be evaluated: There are two futures contracts that attract a lot of trading volume in Brazil: ibovespa futures and dollar/real futures. Both contracts have two tickers each, t

Don't blame the manager, the PO, the CEO. This is ABSURD engineering incompetence. The fellow that did that _fix_ probably had no idea how to properly solve the issue.

I live in Florianopolis, the capital of one of the best state to live in Brazil (Santa Catarina). I have been robbed three times. Even people who have never been a victim will have the same feeling. Burglars are seen (and effectively are)

Well remembered. We have a whole ATM-exploding business in Brazil. Haven't heard of anything similar elsewhere in the world.

Brazilian here. Our criminality numbers are _probably_ higher than the official numbers. The country is huge and diverse, but even the most pacific states and cities are in a bad shape if compared to almost any other country. More than 70%

A 3-person team cannot manage 100+ repos with 100+ micro services. Sounds like a big impedance mismatch.

Brazil has a fair new "Internet law" [1] that states, among other things that: 1) Internet providers must not log any information about users traffic, except information related to the network access itself (like the IPv4 dynamic

WhatsApp's success here in Brazil can be attributed to very few reasons: 1) Worked in every single smartphone (I started using it on a very resource constrained 2010's Nokia running s60) 2) SMS was and still is very expensive here

Many of us like to compare software development with other engineering disciplines. I like to compare it to playing music. Sure you can learn to play some simple songs in a couple of months, but it takes lots of effort to master an instrume

AI algorithms try to mimic some aspects of human biology or human behavior to solve problems that cannot be solved quickly using polynomial time algorithms. If the program's core is based on AI h, then you can loosely call 'em &qu
