What about the harm done by allowing publication from a group of humans killing other humans? Russian research institutions were given carte blanche while the state murdered innocent Ukrainians (and still does). Yet all the high and mighty

Go fly a kite. Programmers who only do programming, suck at programming. You can't get perspective by sitting still. You have to expose yourself to new things. Learn how to sail. Take up stamp collecting. Grow exotic flowers in teacups

If someone would pay for it I'd write that book. There are lots of different methods for different scenarios. There are some books on it but they're either very dry and technical or have very few examples. Here's the cliffs

The main purpose of K8s is just to run microservices. It makes things convenient by automatically restarting services, running multiple copies across servers, routing from one load-balancing port to many ephemerally-allocated ports, collect

There's a lot of limitations within those protocols that just make things unnecessarily difficult and limit functionality. Port numbers and the lack of logical service names, lack of routing across disparate unroutable routes, lack of

We will have to abandon TCP eventually. We can't keep using the same protocol for 100 years. We should think about the next generation stack, what we would ideally like to solve, and not just tiny little incremental changes that preser

Off topic, but I noticed today that all the major US carriers now charge a premium for their SIM cards. They all want me to pay $10 just to walk out of their store with a SIM and no plan. AT&T was nice enough to discount it with an in-s

No company I have worked for in the past 10 years has used Make at all, other than when I'm using it, and that's because I'm just old and used to it. Developers use build tools designed for their language, Syseng use ci&#x2

Please don't tell people "you are wrong / don't do X", especially if it's not objectively true. It's negative, rude, judgemental, and bossy. Find a kinder way to make your point and people might listen to

The teacher in that example had 13 years of service and worked in one of the better paying public schools in New Jersey. She said she was paid pretty highly at around $60K (iirc). I do remember there was a kind of pecking order where more e

Many teachers work very long hours. Ones I've dated did a minimum of 60 hours. They would work their day shift and then go home and work more, and work on weekends, and then do tutoring for extra cash. Do you know how frustrating and e

That's interesting actually, because it seems written by a contractor. Each role in each industry probably has its own warped methodology, which means a "better" methodology will need to be tailored to the role & industry

I stopped going to stand-up and simply posted a Slack thread for status. The people who didn't like it are the people who would ramble on at stand-up, uncomfortable being curt or ending a meeting early. They'd ask "anyone hav

Yes, we know this. We've known this for a long time actually. Nobody has yet proposed a better method. - The agile manifesto is a smattering of nice-sounding principles with no suggestion of how to achieve/implement them. - Scrum

Not a bad idea... Round it out with some leap-frog for plyo, animal crawls. You could turn burpees into a fun game. (Where is the parent-kid playtime-workout video that we all need? Tire the kids out and give the parents a couple sets)

We all know Pavel's "Grease the Groove" works from experience; this is just scientific back-up. If you want to be in marginally better shape, set between 4 and 10 timers every day, and do one set of push-ups, or squat jumps,

Most meetings I go to are superfluous and can be replaced with a slack thread; I think the noise would encourage fewer (and shorter) meetings. Stack them all up at either the beginning or ending of the day and then go to a coffee shop for a

I would almost go back to an office, if the company would stop being so lazy and incompetent. Every company is insanely disorganized and inefficient. You can never find other teams, projects, code, docs, company policies, vendor agreement

Starbucks should just open co-working spaces. It's literally just a Starbucks but with monitors, keyboards and mice.

Coffee shops are so much better than offices. The only time I get interrupted is to ask me if the seat next to me is taken. I can go to any one I want to at any time. I am not required to stay there for any length of time. The cute barista

I don't care if someone sells my data, I care if some company gets compromised and doesn't tell me. And it makes it harder for bots to crack the same account at multiple places.

Local residents do feel that way. They have no money, no education, no job prospects, and don't feel they get respect. The fact that their cultural values are also at odds with the "haves" (in their view) further cements the

It's called poverty. Welcome to rural America. Went down the shitter when industry left and the rest of the country ignored it for decades, so now we have MAGA, drugs and crime, and a whole lotta cheap land.
