If only deploying Kubernetes was as simple as running a golang up and etcd tolerated some latency, you could spin up a node in AWS, another in Hetzner, and a third in DigitalOcean.

Are there any repairable, washable, wireless earbuds out there that are decent with Bluetooth 5, noise cancelling, etc.? I haven't found one yet but I'd love to know if there is a site or wiki that lists repairable consumer electr

Toilet privacy seems to come up at every company I've worked at. American stalls tend to have large gaps whereas European offices usually have private rooms with their own sink and mirror. Bathroom hygiene seems less important still ev

He'll be lucky if they don't suspend his Google account outright for raising the issue.

Yep, everyone loves it in the beginning and then the warts start to show. It's a really bad feeling when you get stuck not being able to do something in HCL. Then you Google it and find 50 other people had the same issue and were told

RedHat can still make life hard for this project. They can stop publishing srpm metadata or pull non-gpl software entirely. Thinking back at how long we used to wait for CentOS releases following a new version of RHEL, this is pretty amazin

They played games for so long with keeping it closed source and then only opening parts of it to ECMA and then advocating Mono before finally opening more parts of it. I wanted to play with LINQ back then and couldn't. So non-MS people

Matrix servers are now fairly simple to deploy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDddKmdLEdg I do wish the Element team moved a bit quicker at attacking Slack head-on. Element isn't super polished yet nor does it implem

I never understood the Chinese propaganda angle but I agree the app is wonderful. It's the only app that has found a way to touch every one of my emotions.

It's not clear to me how Amazon is even a "quasi-monopoly" as you put it. What are they doing to suppress competition? They aren't forcing exclusivity. A few rich guys put together Jet.com ~7 years ago. A totally indepen

Docker Inc. reeks like the SCO or port-Oracle Sun of our current generation. A very tacky move to what, make them a quick buck?

Lots of egregious violations of #4 and #5 where I work. Leaving a meeting or not even showing up to one even if only to just "observe" comes off as passive aggressive.

A bit of a snarky comment but I do agree that many tech companies have been sitting on their hands waiting to mimic what the FANG companies are going to do next.

For new hires I suppose it's okay but to adjust the pay of an existing worker whose output remains the same afterwards because they relocated is a bit insulting to me. It's a pay cut, not a "COLA".

Opposite experience here w/ two uBreakiFix stores and a Pixel 3. Neither time I was asked to provide the PIN. The first time I asked and they gave me a strong "no". No factory wipe, etc.

Jenkins has always rubbed me the wrong way. The quality of plugins, the dated UI, Groovy. It just feels out of place and bloated every time I use it. Being a Java app doesn't help either. It reminds me of Jira where you have to hack th

How do you gauge when it's time to leave? What indicators do you use?

Don't think so. It is very difficult to walk away from RSU grants and I'm sure Apple is a great place to work at. Most people I know have already told their managers how they plan to work moving forward irrespective of company ann

I'm let down on every article about Etsy lately. They used to be an engineering powerhouse during the StatsD days. Are they doing anything notable in OSS or engineering today?

You need a "mature" security organization that can stick it's tentacles into everything and still be effective or embed security people directly on teams to gate changes like a CI tool does. A security team that operates at a

You’re a CTO so I imagine you’re hiring mostly directors and VPs and it comes down to whether you like the candidate or not. At a lot of companies you just have to be noticeably better than everyone else because after 5+ employees interview

Would hope such legislation articulates exactly what parts of a "phone" would need to be made available. There are hundreds of parts in an iPhone. It's unreasonable to expect that Apple or any vendor have the resources to mak
