We use Tekton to manage our CI pipeline and I agree that the way it enforces very little structure is a strength. On the other hand it's new enough that if you need to stretch its capabilities you are going to have to get creative. The

I agree. This is very weird but also a very subtle and good comment.

This is funny, the first couple of times I heard it I also wondered if I was going a bit mad. When you are out all alone and you hear a sound that you can't explain I think it's pretty natural to think that.

I have no opinion on anything, FWIW because I actually spent most of my time in Woods Hole. My recollection of all this is from the local paper. EDIT: Cliche as it as, the fish bites at Landfall are pretty good! And it was always fun to swi

I don't have an ocean-going vessel, but if I did I'd buy rescue/tow insurance. It's not super expensive and when you need it, you need it.

Very interesting. Maine also has a significant transmitter array in Cutler with 30 or so antennas around 900 ft tall apiece. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLF_Transmitter_Cutler I wonder what it's like to try to p

Yeah, I thought it was a generator or mower at first. It's just quiet enough that I mistook it for a much louder sound that had grown faint due to my distance from the source.

Two unrelated anecdotes: 1. A few years ago I spent some time in Falmouth, MA and there was an ongoing battle over newly installed wind turbines. The humming sound was getting to people, including to the point where they were getting headac

For certain things like layer 4 and layer 7 routing or firewall policies, health checking and failover, network-attached volumes, etc you have to choose software and configure it on top of getting that configuration in that tooling. So you

Yup, even monoliths can benefit from certain k8s tooling (HPAs, batch jobs, etc).

I like to say (lovingly) that Kubernetes takes complex things and simplifies them in complex ways.

Anyone know what build times are for the Shopify monolith?

Upvoted. Try working with them.

Man... if there was clear market demand for immodesty we at The Awl would be billionaires by now. One can dream.

Yeah we are a blog or, rather, a network of blogs. What's your point?

Here's some elisp I use to do this (assuming I understand your issue correctly and it's the same as mine): (defun replace-regexp-g () (interactive) (save-excursion (goto-char 0) (call-interactively 're

Does anyone know how to initiate a web compare between to branches using this thing? If I could have that + Alfred (or whatever launch bar / cli one uses) that would be amazing.

edit: thanks for the heads up, that was not the issue at hand.

Great point. I don't speak for the guys that made the decision to append the timestamp to the query, but I assume our concern is in intermediate network caches that don't honor low TTLs. Though I don't know how founded that is, we won't eve

Probably could figure that out, yeah. But we didn't want to take any chances given how important it was to get our live blog situation under control. [edit] Which is to say, we wanted a rock solid network and to essentially be a drop in a b

We use S3 behind 1 second max-age cloudfront to serve The Verge liveblog. It's been nothing but rock solid. We essentially create a static site and push up JSON blobs. See here: http://product.voxmedia.com/post/25113965826/introducing-syl.

I've worked with STATS, Inc and XML Team. I've also implemented features against the Yahoo! Fantasy API and it was very nice to work with. First off, you are going to have to deal with a rep. STATS is the big name in the business and they f

This is really cool. It comes at the right time as I'm researching some NFL tickets. One thing I really, really wish I could do is sort or filter by row # like I can with stubhub. When I go to something expensive like an NFL game, I really

You're right. Mentally I (incorrectly) lump them in with South Brooklyn. Or, more to the point, "yipster" Brooklyn. Honest question: How many people actually live near their work in DUMBO or Downtown?

by dustym 16y ago
They are plenty representative of the Brooklyn of the last 10 years - that of steady gentrification and rise of cost of living, but still cheaper than Manahattan. Though not much. Much more housing stock, though. Can we just assume that any

This will be one of the questions that will always follow Barry Sanders. Can you imagine him behind, say, Emmitt Smith's line? Or would hit have mattered, given Sanders style of running (unbelievable field vision, lateral movements)?
