I worked as a sysadmin at DNA sequencing and analysis company for a while, and one of the things the boss was adamant about was how important in all factors the microbiome was, and he was repeatedly proven correct. For example, we were doin

You know, I'm not sure where I got that from. Maybe I was confusing prolog with the ladder logic, or other languages from IEC 61131-3? I'm really not sure... but after some duckduckgoing I've come to the conclusion I was wro

I can't believe this even has to be said... I wonder if he takes the same positon on the Clapper perjury, for example? Astoundingly shameful.

I'm not surprised since the day I got into an argument with the guardians senior tech editor and he tried to argue Foss didn't matter and Linux was a fanboy fad... The senior editor...

I would think this would be a perfect application of a deep, full keel (which offers the maximum stability and self-correction, but in a manned sailboat tends to be too deep to bring into certain places which is why so many sailboats don&#x

I'm currently pursuing my data science degree after my last burnout as a senior sysadmin. I'm hoping my practical experience will be a perfect augmentation of the "data science" stuff so that I can be more confident when

Because too many people these days are the "school is overrated, vocational schools are all we need" types who don't understand the basic value of going through the old philosophers... the title is case in point. To me it see

I was all ready to rant and then read the first part: "I’m not complaining about old-school sysadmins. They know how to keep systems running, manage update and upgrade paths. This rant is about containers, prebuilt VMs, and the incredi

One of these days, most of you will finally understand just how right RMS was and is... It's just a shame so many can't see it, and worse, give those of us who do shit.

Hofbrau is imho the best Hefe that is easily available in the states. My story is I spent about a year trying to get into wine... admitedly for the slightly shallow goal of impressing women, and then I spent a summer in Germany with some fa

IRC is still alive and well, and honestly since so many have forgotten about it has become a much more tight knit community, depending on which ones you frequent... people should really try it out. Don't forget your cloaks! The real ti

I grew up in bear, mountain lion, wolf country, and I can see both points of view. SOP for a mountain lion is stand up tall, open your jacket or shirt (to make yourself look bigger) but do not yell, speak calmly. Throw rocks and fight back

You don't know how right you are about infrastructure in businesses. I've seen the inside of hundreds of companies over the years... everything from 5 man law firms to fortune 500, and it was a rarity to see good infrastructure. I

That's not how the law on this works. It wasn't changed until around 2015, which is why so many companies started doing funNgames with employee wages and hours around then in anticipation of the change.

Long story short, it's because of abuse of tribalism by the two parties. I'll give you a good example: the 92 presidential debate. Ross Perot, a third party candidate got almost 19 percent of the vote! So what did the two parties
