Semi-Hemi-Demigod

Just write a bash script to loop over them.

Nation-states were a stupid idea to begin with

I think it has more to do with maintaining a manufacturing base for defense than it is about jobs or the economy.

I’ve worked for a couple startups and you’re absolutely right. If you make a profit you pay taxes on that money, so startups like to spend most of the money they bring in. They also want to show revenue growth, since that’s what investors like to see. You grow revenue by getting more paying customers. And you do that by doing what your customers want.

When you go public, your goal is to increase shareholder value. So you do this by reducing costs and finding ways to wring customers out of revenue. You find ways to nickle and dime customers out of revenue so much you develop an entire branch of law devoted to you suing your customers

So what? It figured out The Answer, big whoop.

Get back to me when it figures out The Question.

There is, but since color printers are the ones that were used in counterfeiting most black and white printers don’t do that sort of thing. Plus I don’t know how you’d encode that much information in black and white without making it visible on the paper.

Only color laser printers put those yellow dots on paper. The black and white ones don’t because they can’t: They don’t have yellow toner.

So get a black and white printer and you’ll be fine.

Three day special bridge rebuilding operation

Databases need tuning for your workload, and most people just think it’s a big box where you can dump anything you want and it will work. And then when it chokes on a terrible query they blame the DBA.

This makes DBAs very cranky.

It’s both of those, and a reference to Moana where the shiny crab calls Maui a “semi-demi mini-god”

I’d love to learn it, but my biggest hurdle has been getting a cluster actually running. Could you recommend a good tutorial?

I can absolutely see the benefit for really huge deployments or complex, highly-available systems. I’ve even sort of used it in my job working with those things. But I’m still just running commands I don’t understand that some sysadmin gave me.

I’ve got 20+ years of professional experience at all different levels. I can take an idea and turn it into a Docker image with fully automated CI/CD on myriad cloud platforms.

K8s is still black magic to me.

“If anything I think it devalues Reddit because now the board has to do things for investors instead of doing things for the Reddit community,”

Reddit stopped doing things for the community a long time ago

Having written PHP for many years, all I have to say about it is T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM

Mattermost is open source and has a ton of integrations with other open source tools like Gitlab and CircleCI.

I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. Calibre is great for managing it on a personal machine, but I want something that I can use on the web and then, with a click, send a book to a Kindle or whatever.

“What excuse could we use for this cost-cutting measure?”

“Uh, we could just say that people don’t need it anymore.”

“Johnson, get that man a promotion!”

Pausing Gluetun might do that, or it might route the Torrent traffic over the regular network, in which case you might see a blip in the download rate before it goes up again.

Personally I prefere this docker-ized torrent client, since it’s got the VPN built right in, and I don’t need a VPN to do anything other than torrents.

Yep. Until customers can provide a clear, concise description of what they want there will always be jobs for programmers.
