The irony is that Caldera linux bought Sanra Cruz Operation, then Caldera changed its name to SCO. Then SCO got greedy and tried to charge for royalties from IBM and Novell. They both said no, we'll see you in court. I'm not sure

Ansible was designed to be agnostic in this regard. Most Ansible plugins in the unix world are written in sh or Python, and in the Windows world in PowerShell. But you can use anything you want. This is also part of Ansible's philoso

I think you're looking at this from a consumerism point of view. The US started a huge build up of arms. eg missiles and destroyers specifically, but also the US had significant advances with tank and aircraft weaponry. The US consume

Uhm, no. No single factor, but the USA going into an arms race with the USSR combined with the USA in association with Saudia Arabia tanking world oil prices played significant roles in the demise of the USSR and the Eastern Bloc.

Healthcare seems like it is a pretty big problem in the USA. The USA spends ~20% of GDP on healthcare, while the other advanced economies spend around 10%. For whatever reason, American love to malign things as socialist, and confuse commu

Because the way MySQL does other things seems has been troublesome. IIRC, MySQL essentially generates incremented integer table and column ids, so rebuilding tables relationships meant that you had to manually regenerate the table schema,

Healthcare is actually a macro economic industry that Americans have been fooled in to believing that it is micro economic. The USA spends 20% of GDP on healthcare. All other advanced economies spend about 10%.

That depends on perspective. If you are a professional programmer using JetBrains tools as daily drivers then I think think £100 over the InteliJ price is pretty reasonable to get access to their entire library of tools. Consultants make a

I learned the semi hard way on PoC system where the Mysql index corrupted. I was lucky and could simply redeploy my application, but I have never used Mysql since.

I read somewhere previously that the USA (and Canada) largely prioritise (bulk) freight over passenger travel when considering rail transport. Freight trains are given priority over passenger trains, when passenger trains having to wait fo

Nice life hack. Settings the background image to a cheetsheet of commands that you want to learn. Love it. Thank you for the suggestion. :)

But if your buying the full version, then the full library is only another £100 to begin with. Cheaper for personal use, and free for students. https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/buy/#commercial?billing=yearl...

Why do you watch the BBC? Maybe it is better if you are not in the UK, but it is heavily biased towards the Westminster government, and does not give a fair picture of and to Welsh, Scottish, and (Northern) Irish concerns. I agree that it

The terminal bell is completely abused, and as irritating as heck. I turn it off as soon as I can upon installation of any distribution.

Uhm, I think the British won the "complainer" trophy with our lame ass brexit project. In fact, now the Scots are complaining about England (& Wales) winning the complaint trophy, that they themselves will likely win the compl

I enjoyed the theory and problems much more than doing "experiments" in high school and university. In fact, I loathed the lab components. I always felt they were highly contrived, and offered little value beyond having to learn

Almost certainly what you can fix and release in an hour has higher priority than something that is going to take a month, for example. I have had quite a bit of success in having the technical teams assess the length of time a fix or a fea

There is significant regulation for prepay of things in many jurisdictions. Eg gift cards, and it is likely that the cloud businesses do not want to enter that mine field. Yes some of them have gift card programs already, but they probably

Gawd. Teams is so rubbish compared to Slack: - team channels are stuck in their own area away from DM and ad hoc group chats - content seems to disappear - downloading files, and in particular pictures, and then finding what it has been n
