I mentioned our talk to my coworker, his immediate response was "does he work for Oracle?" I'm only half seriously asking but, do you? (Given the certifications you mentioned, I think that even if you don't, there is a

FWIW, cedar-14 stack is Ubuntu 14.04 and that's been the base of Deis Workflow (now Hephy Workflow) for years. We've been meaning to upgrade to Heroku-16 stack (and eventually Heroku-18) but our resources are limited too, and we&

So, am I understanding correctly that this is a virtualization solution? Isn't that not the same thing at all? Virtualization has a lot of overhead, and that would be my first concern, so can you address that? (My platform team balke

Absolutely everyone boots from cold, a non-zero number of times. If it looks bad, then everyone will see that... and it will be the first thing they see, every single time they do that.

I'm with you, I prefer to uppercase the keywords only, but most SQL formatters are more liberal with their uppercasing.

I'm not saying I'd write an "I Agree" bot, but I've certainly written scrapers of comparable or greater complexity, and I'd be quite surprised if there was nobody that did this. If you haven't written a bo

I think "get your own mail server" doesn't necessarily imply that you're doing all of the setup yourself. Using a provider like fastmail (or Google apps, fwiw) is a good way to be sure that you set it up right. Granted

Thanks for that! I wasn't going to find that on my own. You said 'used' as in past-tense... mind sharing why you moved on and what you moved on to? (Did you implement serverless but in another language? mRuby was too cumber

More marketable to who, employers? Are they more marketable because people with those skills are younger and earlier in their careers, so can be paid less? That sounds potentially circular and I would need to hear more to come to agreemen

by yebyen 8y ago
With respect, this has to be demonstrated. Are the new skills better than the old skills? (I am on the treadmill, so clearly I believe they are.)

by yebyen 8y ago
This exactly. Pay grade and composite sets of professional skills acquired are not protected classes. You can't prove it was age discrimination if you are paid higher and don't have skills that newer employees have (because both

When copyright was invented, there was no such thing as DRM and they still thought it was important to build in something called Fair Use rights. Those are totally out the window now. Nobody ever conceived that someone could distribute th

You sound like a DRM apologist. There are real damages caused by DRM, for instance the fact that if everyone behaves according to the law, then nobody can ever make or receive archival copies of works that have gone out of copyright again.

Isn't the point of multistage build to have your build-time dependencies isolated from run-time dependencies, so that you can jettison the build-time deps before deploy and have a smaller image? Does that really make sense with Ruby?
