I'm glad that others are voicing the same issues I'm experiencing. Sometimes I wonder if I'm taking crazy pills. My solution has been to place an Apple bluetooth keyboard -on top- of my 15" MBP keyboard and that seems to

It appears that the SLA guaranteed uptime for Azure SQL Database is 99.9% or 99.99%, depending on tier. That equates to the following allowable downtime per month (which I think is what they base SLA fulfillment on): 99.9: 43m 49.7s 99.99:

When is such an awesome company like GitLab going to get serious about compensation and actually fix their calculator for regions outside of SF? I know firsthand that this is preventing many experienced people from even bothering to pursue

Impressive lulz in this post. Do you require an outrageous sense of humor as well?

This is the same CYA attitude that I have been assuming the last 2 years because it's such a frequent occurrence. The only issue is that I still get blamed. I don't know how many times I've repeated this scenario: 1. I highl

If drawing the line on what is and isn't harassment is subjective, perhaps they should focus on building better mechanisms for individuals to take filtering / blocking into their own hands? One could argue that Twitter has these

Looking at tenure in isolation of any other context is meaningless. I've interviewed candidates with multiple 6-12 month positions on their resume that turned out to be great contributors, and other folks with 5-10 year positions that

Usually Massimo's stuff is quite well thought out and practical when it comes to adopting new models in the Enterprise, but this article has a "I'm annoyed by this platform because it doesn't work how I want it to"

I agree that the lack of an easy, declarative deployment capability is one of Jenkins' biggest flaws and doesn't get near enough attention.

+1 for GitLab - a platform that actually feels like a hacker's tool. Not to mention they have an open source edition (CE), unlike GitHub -or- BitBucket.

I'm guessing the military isn't affected because they shield their equipment properly? Seems odd that this wouldn't be a standard (even for commercial) in this day and age.

Fascinating stuff for history buffs. There's a great subreddit for this kind of thing, /r/AcademicBiblical, that has similar gems for those interested... https://www.reddit.com/r/AcademicBiblical/

I should probably know this, but can anyone explain to me why other service providers like AWS don't have to release the source code of things like their brand of Xen running EC2 hypervisors? Does it only apply if you resell / pac

Everyone is inclined towards adding features; it's just in our nature I suppose. The experienced folks know how to exert discipline in this area so that you aren't working on vaporware. Eric S. Raymond said it best back in the da

No UI out of the box (Registry:v2). DTR has a 'health' UI that is pretty worthless since you can't browse images. There are other frontend tools that work with registry:v2 though, such as Portus: https://github.c
