1) Most software gets its timestamps from the system clock 2) If you have a mismatch between the system time and the application time, then you just have log timestamps that don't match up; it's a nightmare - even more so around D

Deaths are currently at around 2,000 PER DAY in the United States. That is not in any way, shape, or form "extremely lower" than earlier waves. The Omicron wave was equal to the initial wave in severity, and we're still not

2016 IS very recently. Three years ago does not count as "many years ago". Richard Stallman is 66 years old. To have only realized that pedophilia is bad at age 63, only when other people had to convince him..welp.

How is that different than, well -- anything? In the United States all 50 states can make their own laws; it's a fundamental part of our legal system. As for every country making their own laws - well, yeah? That's what sovereignt

Paying a random consumer $20 does not make them a contractor. Do you think they all got 1099s?

Very cool. One minor usability suggestion - it would be fantastic if the adjusters didn't reset when the base color changes.

Go code compiles to compact, statically linked binaries with relatively compact memory usage and reasonably good concurrency support, and an excellent standard library for handling networking - it's a natural fit for monitoring stacks.

Datadog will cost you $165,600 a year for 600 hosts. That is objectively equal to a very well paid engineer. So no, the statement is not untrue. (I picked 600 because that was the approximate number of machines we had at my last job, where

Irrespective of the public back & forth between Docker and CoreOS, that's a completely reasonable stance to take. Standards need to be proven in the real world before being adopted. That's why the ANSI and ISO standardization

Do the math again :) The receipt printer is $300 . I boggled at that too, and then looked around, and that's really what it retails for (or close enough). I have difficulty understanding why it's so expensive, but do keep in mind that it's
