The dark truth is I suspect we're moving in the opposite direction. Abstraction layers designed with that "chill, it's just a %s app" mindset are making their way into safety critical applications. Eventually somebody is

Trouble is, internet exchanges are often flat insecure layer 2 networks that operate on trust. Anyone on that network can suddenly decide to advertise anyone else's address space, and start receiving traffic.

Database migrations typically refer to schema/ddl changes to an application along side deployment of a new version. Everything I've ever heard and read has told me that containers aren't a good for for this type of long-term

I'm not sure how this doesn't qualify as unlimited local calling? The situation in rural KY on GTE in the early 90s was quite similar -- I even remember using 3-way calling to bridge an aunt who lived a county in one direction wit

What's wrong with USB-C? It's seen a pretty wide-spread uptake over the last couple years, and you're hard pressed to find a new laptop from any manufacturer that doesn't use it for charging.

Odds are high that the anticipated cost savings sits largely on the folks they intend to sack, rather than on any power/real estate/bandwidth/hardware savings.

The onsite and accidental damage options on ThinkPads was (is?) absolutely amazing. I think I paid an extra $100, but when I knocked my machine off the desk, Lenovo dispatched an IBMer to my office with a replacement panel in under 24 hours

Should young entrepreneurs be exempt from health code too? It's pretty fucking rare for lemonade stands to be shut down due to lack of a "business license". They're shut down due to health non-compliance. Whether those h

Sure -- in theory all the regional jobs should be transferable to another region. That doesn't make it any less painful when a region's primary economic resource closes shop without a replacement. The absolute best case scenario,

I think a big part of it is that airline industry is typically co-located in cities with large numbers of other jobs, allowing a region to soak up the loss a little more easily. In coal dependent regions, the mining jobs create downstream j

For the love of all that is sane, please top trying to push nonstop video calls onto remote employees. Embrace asynchronous communication.

Despite all the bluster to the contrary, in the US we avoid accepting responsibility for our actions at all costs. To the point that business schools now effectively teach that the correct strategy is to put your fingers in your ears, and y

That's a hard game to win in the end. Odds are the new and improved name services you're required to use won't really look much like DNS today. Initially they'll be implemented as DNS over HTTPS, with devices being shipp

Don't worry, the marketers will get to you soon enough. Google has already wedged themselves in as the "gold standard" dns provider. My gut says eventually Apple/Google/Amazon will start forcing blessed devices to u

Software is a mess by choice. Let those who made it a mess burn. Nobody has half a fucking clue where the libraries they're slapping together come from, nor how they're maintained, nor how they're vulnerable. It gets worse ev

I'm a touch creeped out. Initially I could only hear Yanny, then I listened to the varied pitches started with -30, and ending on +40. On the first pass, everything through +30 sounded like Yanny, with a distinct shift to Laurel at +40

Those random docker images are rarely used in isolation. They typically handle your data and often your customers data. Beyond that, numerous escape exploits in linux containerization (and docker specifically) have popped up over the years,

Rather than a full on ISP, I think I'd prefer to see municipal NSPs. The municipality should be concerned with passing packets within the municipality. When an end user needs packets routed outside the municipality, they engage with an
