That is true. But there are ways around that. Including documentation on how to build it locally is pretty standard. And hosting prebuilt binaries with package installation for targeted platforms is also pretty common as well. With interpre

If you find this to be the case, then maybe you’re not being as polite / kind as you think. Because from my experience this simple is not the case. I’ve seen this argument made a few times and it’s pretty rubbish. You are free to talk

I think the distinction is "reach". Emails are generally directed to dozens, maybe hundreds of individuals, whereas with modern social media, an individual can reach millions of people. It begins to enter the realm of traditional

How unused is the letter z on your keyboard when typing? Different regions of the brain serve different functions, so though they aren’t always activated, they are necessary. Besides, obsolete and unused brain tissue is very expensive calor

Proton VPN is rock solid. I recently made the full switch off gmail to Proton email, and signed up for the VPN as well. It's worked great so far.

In an office of 20+ developers on Macs, over half have had to get their keyboards replaced, and a few more just live with broken keys. This keyboard is truly awful. After 10 years on the Mac, I'll be switching to ThinkPad / Linux

I did not know about this. Thanks, it looks very interesting.

Congratulations on open sourcing this. It looks great. Is there a reason you went with Node.js instead of something like Go? As a sysadmin, I personally hate having to deal with dependencies from tools built in non-compiled languages like P

In the same boat as you. If Apple doesn't fix this horrible keyboard in the next release, I think I'll finally switch to ThinkPad.

Looks great! I've been running through exercises on exercism.io, but this looks like a good next step in my Gopher journey.

Right on, this is perfect. Thanks!

Not sure if this is a good place to ask, but how do Apache Arrow and Parquet compare to Apache Kudu ( https://kudu.apache.org/ )? Seems like all three are columnar data solutions, but it's not clear when you'd use o

Agreed, and I've personally noticed a lot of people moving out to the Denver / Boulder area. On my team alone we had 3 people from the bay area move out to Colorado. It's an attractive place for tech talent, which certainly w

Seems like Denver would be good choice, considering how alike Seattle and Denver are. There's plenty of hiking, biking, camping, etc in the area, and it's central location is convenient for any travel to both the east and west coa

One thing that I've always wanted was for Jenkins to get away from being a UI, and just be an engine with a nicely documented API. People could then build more niche CI/CD systems on top of that engine without having to reinvent t

AWS or GCE are the way to go. Azure is horrible. Stay away from it.

Looks really cool, but honestly the input lag is noticeable when compared to something like iTerm. Not sure that's something I could get used to. Is that just a limitation of Electron?

If generalization is something you enjoy, that skill is hugely important in the DevOps / Sysadmin world.

Findbugs is the main one. If you had support for that, I'd get my 120+ dev team moved over tomorrow :)

Any plans on adding Java support? I suppose with this new platform, anyone can. But is that something you already happen to be working on?

I've successfully worked a 4-day work week for over a year. I assume you mean 4, 10-hour days, which is what I did. I actually staggered my work week so I'd work Mon-Thur, then Tues-Fri, giving me a 2-day weekend, then a 4-day wee

Forgive me, but I'm not very familiar with the rapidly growing container-based ecosystems market, but how do all these pieces fit together? Namely: * Mesos / Yarn * Marathon * Kubernetes * OpenShift * Chronos There are others I&#x

This is completely different than DynamoDB. Essentially this is a framework for sharding or horizontally scaling multiple datastores (MySQL, Memcache, Redis, etc).

I like this idea, but one issue I see is that, while 95% of people could use an extra 10k, the real cost of welfare comes from those few who have major medical needs, and that 10k would do nothing for them, at least as currently outlined he

Yep, my app is down and can't be restarted.

Yes, I think it would be a deal breaker for me personally. For the one thing, there would be a bit of effort to migrate from any config management system (my background is Chef and Ansible) to straight bash scripts. Also, it doesn't al

That's unfortunate. I understand where you are coming from on making this absolutely as simple as possible for those who are maybe not so admin inclined, but I feel it's limiting to actual administrators/devops engineers, who
