How to not sell your "enterprise" software to me. Have documentation that includes curl https://something.your.tld/install.bash |sudo bash. That's a hard no. If you think that's a good idea what other sh

I was so sad when I specifically ordered an HP laptop for work (The other choice was Dell) to get the keyboard with a trackpoint on it, only to find out that the HP layout only has two buttons. It turns out my years of ThinkPad training has

I've seen companies use wave energy before (1) but not ocean currents, but as someone else pointed out, the currents are a lot more powerful and consistent than winds so it makes sense. I know Carnegie (2) talk up the fact that submerg

I find a catch all is a spam magnet, but a little finesse with regular expressions can work wonders. On Google Workspace for example I have a rule for prefix_(.*)@domain.com that way the automated spam attempts fail because they usually jus

Pesce is one of my claims to a brush with fame (For a very nerdy definition of fame). We were both panelists at a conference about 12-15 years ago, I was a nobody with good marketing, he was Mark Pesce. We had a great discussion about the d

I second all of this. I've had a B&N Nook, Kindles from basic ones in 2010 through to the 2019 Oasis and for the last 18 months I've had a Boox Note 2. I have no regrets. My use cases other than recreational reading for 30-60

TIL. Thanks. One does have to wonder though, why isn't -brief the default and the current default set to -verbose or -long. I look at -brief on either command and it has all the information I am ever looking for.

I worked at EMC at the time that Sun was aquired by Oracle. There were rumors that EMC was considering purchasing Sun to gain the final toe hold in the DC that they eventually filled by merging with Dell. I am sure if EMC had bought Sun I&#

Most things don't need that much power. My homelab, NextCloud and family Plex server is a 10 year old i7 with 32gb ram. The only upgrade in 10 years was a PCIe NVME adapter so I could boot from faster storage.

I have never held a design job, but I think his teaching has made me a much better human whenever I am making a decision in the workplace. I look for the affordances in anything we are doing.

Congratulations on the launch. I wonder if a service like yours could licence distribution of digital editions in Japanese outside of Japan. I would sign up in a second for dual language access to Manga (and light novels). I think part of t

I think that's a terrible way to look at an any type of career. Any job can be outsourced, the important thing is if the person brings value to the organisation. In sales or sales engineering it is easy to measure your impact. I cost $

That law is modelled on laws in the EU, Australia and other countries. I know if my employer is one of the affected companies they are in breach of our notification laws.

A lot of people want to have full control so rather than create a channel called "Project Phoenix" in a team called "Operations" they'll create a whole new team, and use the general channel. Much like the OP here I&

That's an opinion, not always true for everyone. I love Keycloak, but I've seen several large enterprises trial it and give up due to complexity at their particular scale. I've seen bigger orgs use it successfully in a simple

I work in education, Shibboleth is indeed what we use for these types of things. You go through the shib portal and depending on your email address get redirected to your institutions SAML login and back. Somewhat similar to using Azure or

I lost faith in Okta when we implemented OAG. They don't have an AWS marketplace version so if you want to run it there you have to manually convert their ESX appliance. Once it's up and running you can't login and get a shel

I have an extensive academic citation collection in multiple languages, Juris M is way better for my needs. I love the fact that open source software allows this but sometimes I really wish they'd just incorporate the two.

I know I gave jpdb a try a while ago and found that while the dataset is incredible (and like others I'd pay just for it) but the built in tool doesn't work the way I need. I have always had the most success with Anki and Wanikani

I recently spent a fortnight using a 2009ish Asus EeePC with a whopping 2Gb of RAM. It wasn't terrible running Manjaro Linux i3. For all the browsing social media it was basically the same experience as the author. But for a handy note
