One of the difficulty for smaller farmers is the transition period where the field produces a lower yield. They don't have the monetary buffer available for that. I hope that Governments with a minimum of foresight will fund those effo

This looks great! I've been building something similar[1] but it only supports bash as a language. Looking forward to try this out! [1]: https://github.com/zimbatm/mdsh

Another approach that we have been exploring with Terraform is to treat the machine configuration as resources[1]. It works pretty well when most of the system is vanilla with a few additions to it (like installing Docker). [1]: https:&#x2

Hopefully. There is a big gap in funding for self hosting.

Users want convenience. Hosted is usually more convenient to use (at least in the short term) as all the maintenance is taken care of transparently.

If the same project had been packaged with Nix, it would probably still compile. People regularly checkout older versions of nixpkgs to get access to older package releases. One of the key property is that the build system enforces all the

Even the best manager is faced with a bandwidth problem. It's impossible to collect accurately everything that the engineers are doing. And each layer of management is applying its own compression on what information they get from the

Good idea. Luckily this was just a threat so far.

My wife posted a 1 star review on a crappy bookshelf that didn't fit the description (not wood, wrong color) and was structurally weak. On year later, she received an email threatening a defamation lawsuit unless she takes down the rev

It might be even deeper than that. I don't know if it's representative, the few Googlers I talked to were there only for the money. Their view of the company was actually quite negative. Keeping backward-compatibility requires peo

The article looked great until the introduction of the NPCI system. It's essentially a single point of failure, and the best place to observe all the transaction of the whole country. It's controlled by the Government so it will b

I know that the author wants to use VS Code. But for those reading here and live in the terminal, tmate[1] is truly incredible. Install and type `tmate`, and you have a tmux session that people can SSH into. I have used it countless times a

Would the initial 1000$ UBI be paid by the state or by the employer? Assuming that the employee is above threshold. What about the person currently working part-time for $500? It seems like it wouldn't make any material change for them

The U in UBI is for Universal, so I assume that every adult, at minimum, would get it. Or did I miss something?

Where does that money come from? The US population has 199M adults[1]. Let's say a decent basic income is $40k. That's 8 Trillion that the government has to find every year. The US federal tax revenue was of 3.86 Trillion last

Isn't speculation affected deterred by higher pricing? What is preventing you to add a "new domain" cost on top of the renewal? As a customer I would be ready to pay a bit extra rather than go through the purchase at NameChea

Pro tip: don't bother with Amazon France, order from the UK. For some reason, all the non-consumables that I ordered in France were re-furbished items sold as new. In contrast, the UK has always been stellar. Once Brexit hits, I will s

Things are much better than what they used to be. AWS Config is easy to setup and can be used to warn for that type of access-control issues. It's a good layer of additional defense. The new S3 UI is also much better and won't let

I have two recommendations: Make 20% draft for big PRs. The issue with big PRs is that the overall design is already committed. It's hard to tell the person to redo everything according to a different design. So instead, have the autho

I would go even further in your argument and say that the escape-hatches are a requirement to keep the centralized system in check. This is a bit like the free market argument in the sense that it creates competition.

https://github.com/mozilla/sops is quite good to store encrypted secrets. Because the decryption key is stored in a KMS the secret access can be revoked any time.

Please don't do this. I have seen this in practice. A simple CRUD app split across literally 100 of "re-usable" repositories. The business logic is all over the place and impossible to reason about. Especially with step-funct

Did you read the article? The customer had set `net.core.rmem_default = 2147483647` on purpose. Which exposed a Kernel bug. The whole herd would be having the same issue.

It's also worth taking a look at the author's website: https://100r.co/ - ORCA is just one of many projects and explorations that they do while living on a boat.

This is really a side-note. I think Caddy is great. > Still the only web server to use TLS automatically and by default. This sounds great at first. It also makes it too easy to hit the Let's encrypt rate-limit by mistake and get st

Consider any other operating systems out there for a moment. A new upgrade comes along that contains unwanted features. How often is it possible to revert that by uninstalling a few packages? There is a level of care here which I think is g
