terraform really needs to be run in CI/CD pipe. Even without the backend initialized you can run terraform validate which will find things like undeclared variables and messed up count and foreach references.

I bought one in the early 2000's, should be getting about 10% on it. The trouble with these is that the fixed rate has been 0% for some time now. If inflation does go down you could end up with a very low yielding bond. I forget wha

Yeah good point. Although I think it is pretty safe to say they are better then they were in the 1930's and 1940's. Are they better then they were in the 1960's 70's? Not as clear.

That's almost an unfair comparison. I don't know how old you are but 1991 was an incredibly optimistic time in western history with the fall of communism in Europe. Maybe a closer comparison would be 2000 vs 2019, both years rig

I have an older laptop with an hdd. It always was under powered but still usable for things like streaming to a tv every once in a while. The latest Win10 updates have it taking minutes to run a search or context switch. Feels like we ar

If you remove the Waffen SS I think the comparison holds, both Allgemeine SS and NKVD were overarching internal security / police type organizations. Like a lot of Nazi organizations the SS had somewhat nebulous duty boundaries that o

My understanding is that a lot of the Trawnikis were simply trying to stay alive, at least the ones who started as POW's at the time they volunteered for the training. The vast majority of Soviet POW's in Wehrmacht hands were sta

It's power seeking to perpetuate itself. It more or less works the same in every part of the world and every country and always has. Thinking otherwise is a bit naive.

Exactly. Management's job is to make decisions, and they outsource it to "consultants" to insulate themselves from blame. This is the true reason consulting firms exist and make so much money, this is the true service they

You could create a self-hosted runner to test things out on. I'm not sure how hard it is to match Github's VM configuration but I don't think they veer far from the stock ubuntu config for instance.

That does suck for Will who was a child at the time. The character is probably the most egregious Mary Sue of all time though.
