Land acknowledgement statements are creeping into the US these days. I could be wrong, but they've been in Canada for a while. There's been a bit more push back here. There's a lawsuit where a University of Washington comps

This has been a problem for decades. Congress' focus is more on self-preservation than good policy. For example, granting abortion rights through case law was always incredibly tenuous and now that's been proven. I predict this

I work in an industry full of "good old boy" corruption. A couple of years ago, our sister company asked us to support them (aka do the work for them) in an ML project with a vendor. We researched several in the industry and pres

No, there has to be a reason to determine unemployment benefit eligibility. No smart company will ever put down "don't like them" or something more PC like, "culture misalignment." That's an invitation for leg

Correct. "At will" isn't quite the dystopian corporate nightmare some make it out to be. You can't just make up a reason. It has to be valid, and even if it is, it will be a headache for the legal department if there

I’d like to direct you to the current lineup and features of Apple iPads and the various pencil/pen options.

Wow, I first heard about this in the early 90's in high school! I was told to hold it under your chin. It seemed to work, but I never formally did any experimentation nor did I have the statistics base back then. I still did it up

Many different domains. For example, both my wife and I have professional/consulting/personal consulting sites and we both do artsy stuff as a side hobby and business so that's two separate domains eachs. Each one has 1-2 e

Absolutely. I haven't gotten in the weeds of K8 volumes, but certainly have done a lot with Docker volumes including adding some PRs to fix some issues I've ran into. There is a lot under the hood with Docker volumes. With how

Our company is finally looking at containerization and orchestration, and one product had the gall to say, Docker isn't for us. The non-technical people gasped because all the other products are moving towards orchestration! Why? it&#

I've never been a fan of deploying DBs, either traditional RDBMS or distributed, under containerization/orchestration other than quickly spinning up dev and test environments. Certainly not for production. Databases have been bu

Looked into it. It's more than I need, and it's got the same issue as my registrar's paid plans. The price is per domain, per user. For ~10 domains I rarely use at $5 per user, per month, per domain, it's not worth it

Will look at Hostinger, thanks. > it is very hard to remember how you set things up, and almost have to start over. Same issue. I have an absolutely terrible memory. That's why I do all the setup and configuration through Ansible

Someone please tell me if this is sane and viable. I'm starting to do this because of the large number of domains I own and my registrar recently getting rid of free email hosting. For incoming mail, I'm hosting it all virtually

I took a PM role at a company that was "engineering first" company for decades. This is code for engineering with no accountability, and a culture where engineers do nothing but pat themselves on the back. My product is utter cra

I spent at least the first half of my career working with non-technical PMs and thought they were useless. I then joined a company where the PM was a former C++ game dev who was on several credits of some of the biggest games of the 2000&#

This lines up with my experience, and I've found it heavily depends on what industry you are in. > software engineer in the data domain. I was basically this for the past ten years. Maybe it was because I was working only in startu

lolol. I tell people if they're going to Rudy's for bbq, they're doing it wrong, BUT you can't beat their breakfast tacos in terms of bang for the buck - especially if you just landed on a red eye to IAH.

Rudy's is in a few locations in Austin and Houston, at least, and I believe they are all bbq+Shell's.

Same here. So many people are attacking ad hominem. Author may have a history, author may be difficult, but Darktable is hardly a professional’s tool. I tried everything to stay away from the Adobe tax. I used Retroactive with Aperture 3

The point was that there is already a bustling black market in Argentina not only for USD, but EUR and Crypto. https://devonzuegel.com/post/inside-argentina-s-currency-exc... In cybersec, the Argentinian scene is also

Argentina had strict lockdowns and in the height of a wave, a picture leaked of the President and his huge family all gathered together for a fancy dinner. My coworkers were furious. Oh yeah, and Cristina and all her shenanigans.

I’m by no means an expert in Argentina nor its currency. However, don’t many Argentinians who work for US/European firms already get paid in USD? A few years ago, I managed a team of developers and analysts. They were all paid in USD

The reasons are obvious - it's not always possible to rent a Tesla, and in fact, it's usually not. Teslas are expensive compared to other electrics. Rental companies, and the world, are diversifying from Teslas, as we should. Th
