I think half the point is that its best not to have all the unusual packages. Stick with the regular ones and you should have a much easier life that you dont even need complex tools to manage the dependencies.

Yeah its also a problem that our org has infrastructure teams that manage the openshift clusters and they are under resourced so dont help or often can't figure out how to fix problems. Linux sysadmins know what they're doing as t

Yeah we have fixed usage so scaling or easy failover is not something we need.

Modern Parenting sucks. My Great Grandparents worked 7 days a week on their farm and had 13 children. You really think they'd be watching each one do ballet? The kids had a great time playing on the streets with their siblings and frie

Our big project has moved from physical servers to Openshift. Its taken a lot of work, much more than expected. The best thing is that developers like it on their resume, which is a bigger benefit than you'd think as we've kept so

Related, the people that need the compliments are normal people, not the people you think of complimenting. The model doesn't need compliments on how good they look, the professor doesn't need compliments about how smart they are,

This looks great. I'll add it to my list of 100 MOOCs I'd love to do but realistically will never get past the first session.

Any historic reason for the cluster to be in Dresden? I would have expected the most sophisticated areas to be in Western Germany area. Maybe govt encouraged development there?

I built a rpi for games and it was OK but never got any use. One thing I ended up using it for was taking to the office and plugging it into my work monitor. With a BT keyboard and phone hotspot for internet.

Does PG ever spend time with his children? I always feel I should be working harder which makes spending time with family difficult.

LG WebOS has all this, except Spotify which was there but is gone now.

Cars yes please. I remember when people bought aftermarket car stereos, was great. I really dont like today's integrated entertainment, they dont work that will and in 10 years will look terrible.

yes that's the point, they pay less taxes than mutual funds.

I agree with you in general, but the index fund thing is a problem. Index funds/etf pay no CG taxes even when the stocks in the index change, where traditionally a mutual fund would pay taxes as they sell the old stocks and replace wit

That's not the whole story because when you water a farm much of it goes back into the ground or evaporates into clouds. When you flush the toilet it gets treated then sent to the ocean.

Same with stock RSUs. Most tech companies have been blessed with rising stock prices - it wont last like that. Sooner or later big names will disappear like Enron, Lehman did.

Stocks just want to be traded, Coinbase is just getting ready for when Nasdaq will quote in BTC. ;-)

Has anyone actually got a good news source that reports useful detail? The ship in the Suez is a great example - how hard is it to say what the problem is? Its really hard to find anything. BBC can be good. NY times has a few articles but i

Two anecdotes: I started a small company making software components. It was tough getting people to pay for them. A few years later big companies started doing the thing for free so that was the end of that. Back in the job my employer boug

I'm from a country where there are several locally owned supermarkets. They're all very nice but eye wateringly expensive. I'd love if Aldi/Carrefour/Costco moved in.

I still dont really know about AI taking over the world. The most expensive things in my budget are housing, car, healthcare, childcare, flights/hotels, food. Does AI really change that much? There are definitely too many over-educated

One other thing about Java is it had great libraries. C++ didn't have things like collections so you couldn't write a library that used a 3rd party linked list because your user might not have a roguewave license etc. STL became p

It was liberating as there wasn't this continual firehose of new applications, tools and ideas. There weren't as many developers around and you also didn't know how good many other teams were. You just had your little world o

When I started as a developer the internet wasn't there. If you wanted a new library or tool you had to go to a shop and buy the floppy disks (or mailorder). If you wanted docs you used the man pages or had to buy the book, probably th

USA uses too much salt anyway, it ends up in the soil and poisoning the groundwater. In much of Europe salt is banned. Get proper tires and shoes.
