That's not the implication I got at all. Coupled with the photo, it really did seem like it would be an "Alien Plant" had I been able to be there. As far as "working together" - wow, you really look that literally

Currently, and for some time now, if your browser crashes, just open it back up and hit ctrl-shift-t (may differ between os and browser) - it will bring back all of the old urls (not the state, but the urls at least). Works for firefox and

Wholeheartedly agree. I only buy dell, and of them, I only buy latitudes. My favorite of all time was my e6440 with an socket CPU. I bought my wife one a couple of years ago, threw a quad core in there, maxed the ram and it's still wor

No. Today one of the tines broke on my tiller, weld sheared clean off. Have had this tiller for years and use several times a year. I used some sites to find diagrams and part numbers. I was ready to order from the small engine site, $60 pl

I would expect that feature roughly the same time I expect full self driving in Teslas, or the Cybertruck, or a mission to Mars. Musk makes lots of promises.

That doesn't seem like the only possible reason, another one could be that it appeared the company was anti-k8s for the sake of being anti-k8s. I would walk away from a company that I felt was proud of not using the right tool for a jo

Maybe using cert-manager & ingress-nginx to front the service with SSL. Then your ingress-nginx will front your ruby app and decorate it with ssl. Please note, and I am embarrassed it took me so long to figure out - there are two nginx

Does this mean we won't see lawns in Scottsdale that look like they belong in Florida?

These are sad times when someone who wants to "hack" and learn and disassemble and reassemble and just "understand" gets shit on "hacker news". "Limited world view"? Really? They are the one with the

IMO you should try to keep the code as DSL as possible, and only use the imperative features when it makes a lot of sense. For instance if you have like 10 security groups to add and you just put it in a for loop. You should not embed actua

This is true. Have guys new to JS/TS doing stuff in cdk quite a bit. Fortunately there's not much complexity to CDK's framework and if you stick to L1 constructs it's very very close to just writing the YAML (Minus minor

This sounds like neophobia or NIH syndrome. What you're doing is almost exactly the same as a docker deployment, except you're missing the ability to have some declarative leverage and tagging (unless your place invented that for

I had this too - when I first started I fought typescript quite a bit. I struggled through this because I kept finding more and more code on github that was TS, kept seeing more articles that were TS, kept seeing big improvements from MS on

Somewhat off topic but have you see all of the recent (2 years) malware using webassembly? It's difficult to disable in chrome, somewhat difficult to disable in firefox, and no extensions seem to help. I'd love make it as easy to

There may be some facts we don't know yet. The economist has done some research that suggests that the number of deaths have been significantly under-reported. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/07&

I don't understand why it needs to be so political. IMO, yes, he shouldn't remove it but there are reasonable alternatives such as another maintainer setting up a network-manager-sysvinit package that just includes the script (l

Yes, that's right. I switched from an advantage to an advantage2 (which has the non-rubber keys) a few years ago as my new gig purchased the advantage2 for me. Honestly, I didn't even notice a difference. The new f keys are slight

Lambda@Edge on CloudFront is similar to this, although I don't believe they have that good of performance. I suspect that this would be enough incentive for them to catch up though. I am able to work within Lambda@Edge's constrain

Most of the improvement is from the typings that other libraries come with, if, like you said, they are complete. Now I can just ctrl-click into an object to view it's methods and from their can view the interfaces the methods accept a

I don't use ruby, I am genuinely interested - why is it great? I'm assuming if it were ever allowed, it would be a use-at-will feature and wouldn't affect anyone who didn't use it. Typescript has probably doubled if not

You're absolutely right, and I think most of us have a hard time a. learning about all of the new features and b. justifying going back and fixing up stuff to adopt the new features, but IMO for such a critical piece of infrastructure

I haven't seen as much as you, I'm sure, but I did like MP more than Angkor Wat. They are roughly the same timeframe but MP felt like AW done with Expert Mode turned on and at altitude. Would love to hear a couple from your list t

That's right. Before I went, I spent at least a 18 months hiking trails in Colorado with similar profiles to the one we'd do on the 1 day Inca trail which led to a 2nd day at MP. I also ski a decent amount every year here in CO. I

Same thing happens with SDSU, normally people are referring to San Diego State Uni, not South Dakota State Uni.

For such an important bucket, they should have a. adopted the resource into a Cloudformation stack & a1. Enabled drift detection. b. Use an AWS config rule to monitor (appropriate) s3 buckets for any public access.

I agree with you that we still have some ways to go with getting LB right, especially WRT to K8S. I think one of the problems is that it seems like every different app is a snowflake with different requirements, so all of these libraries tr

I would like to second this and point out that while someone can self host and set all of this stuff up, at some points there are economies of scale for using a provider to do this because the provider's raison d'etre is to create
