Came here to say as I was reading this I was thinking "They sure as hell better call out Steve1989MREInfo" and then I got so much joy seeing his photo in the middle of the article.

This is silly. What if you chose to go to a smaller school so you paid for college out of pocket? Should you get paid for the opportunity cost of not going to the expensive liberal arts school? Forgiving debt isn't about you, it's

There are 84,000 dams in the United States. More than one a day since we became a country. Most of them don't generate any meaningful electricity, but they do disrupt habitat for many native fish species. I would like to see them all d

Don't live in a city then. I don't anymore and it's the best thing I've ever done. This kind of performative assertion of space doesn't exist outside highly dense urban areas.

You aren't even engaging with the ideas in this thread. Do you think everything is hunky dory with the kids today?

Yeah and each successive generation since the introduction of mass media has become more deranged.

The article isn't original reporting at all, it is basically a press release for a report generated by an NGO. It's fine to question the source material here.

Ah the old Canadian pastime of sitting back and launch invectives at America while coasting on the economic and national security she provides by just being in proximity to her.

Were you in the Trophy Club offices then?

No OP but I personally prefer the simplicity of VS Code's diff and conflict resolution point-and-click tooling to using ediff/smerge. I also work in a project with some very deep directory structures and like the VS Code sidebar m

Does tweeting constitute critical reporting?

It's going to need to be more than 20%. There are no shortage of jobs where servers make enough to live because they make unreported cash tips.

I wish 1% or 2% beers were more readily available. I like to drink beers socially and I like to take a little of the edge off, but it'd be nice to lower the amount of alcohol I consume.

Did you commute every day on the subway? If so how long? I lived in NYC for 10 years and I hated the summer daily commute because all that aliveness led to hangovers and me sweating all that magicalness out daily on my walk and wait on the

Yep we basically have the same story. I don't live in that part of the country anymore but if I did I would absolutely own land up there. Congrats on the new place.

To elaborate, my views of OK and AR were a sort of common Texas view that it's a backwoods and backwards place. Just sort of run down and no reason to go there. Obviously I am wrong. This certainly isn't about politics as, well, t

Thank you, corrected!

Just as an aside, growing up in Texas I internalized a dim view of western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma primarily due to cultural reasons. A few years ago my family and I took a vacation to a cabin in the Ouachita Mountains which is just n

I started my career as a PHP dev in 2003 (mysql/smarty/adodb ftw) and I became a Rails dev around 06. Since then I have, for various reasons, switched back and forth between PHP and Ruby. The interesting thing that I've notic

I bought my truck used and somehow missed that it had the extended range tank, which is 36 gallons. I was so confused when I filled it up for the first time and it just kept going and going...

For sure these responses, which are predictable and common on pretty much any thread related to American trucks here or on sites like Jalopnik, don't reflect actual, real general sentiments about trucks or SUVs. It happens all the time

One of the things I've seen in the Powerboost (their hybrid model) reviews is that even when people disable traction control to launch it, there is something happening that keeps it from spinning out. I think the electric engine might

They said the same about twin turbos in their trucks, but they got used to it.

I have VS Code running 99.99% of the time. If it's open then it pretty much loads any file < 50mb instantly for me.

In particular I'd like to know how document management happens, are these just Google Docs? I've participated in some OSS projects with Googlers and they love to put together crazy heavy Google Docs.

Most all configuration specifications have a limit unless they are turing complete. Complex systems evolve beyond static configurations easily but the question is can you leverage configuration generation to minimize logic inside your CI? O

by GongOfFour 5y ago
In my opinion generating configuration from Python (or any language with a robust standard library) is still a win if it means less Ops and DevOps engineers are stringing together convoluted bash scripts that torture sed/awk/jq&#x
