Anybody interested in an ebook about using all of Swift's strict typing features for better app development? I may be in the process of writing one of those. It may be up to 100 pages so far with only a chapter or two remaining.

In a company, many conversations start this way: "Hey, we need more paid accounts. How can we further incentivize people to sign up?" Maybe having a paid account has more utility to you with this added feature? Maybe you should

Dr. Isbell is one of the best instructors I've had the pleasure of being talked at by. It's like he has a cable dumping knowledge directly into your brain.

A typical nagios alert will fire if it hasn't been updated in X seconds. Sometimes the queue of incoming events gets backed up and nagios doesn't receive the results of service probes until X+5 seconds or 2X seconds later (due to

was nagios setup before you started the job? Yup. did you setup nagios yourself? god, no. is your internal process for managing nagios broken? It was the best they knew after a dozen years of experience at other companies. culturally

In my old job, for nagios they had a custom nagios tempting system built off C pre processor macros. You'd edit their custom config syntax, run a "build config" script, and everything would get converted into nagios-readable

Not sure what the disconnect is. Everything is a "meatspace activity," but we still have contracts around big things (buying a house, employment, warranties, ...). Are you asking "how does the software contract get written?&

Contracts create obligations. Obligations can be substituted with penalties. "We will attempt to acquire you. If we can't, we pay you a breakup fee." If you had formal contracts around informal things like babysitting, you
