I have started to adapt https://testinfra.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ , which looks similar in style to this from the verification side. Having previously used Salt, Ansible, and Chef at other companies, this looks g

At least in java.time (which I believe an inspiration for Temporal) Duration ( https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base... ) is a time-based measure of time. For example, 5 ho

You could be thinking of the Claude tool search tool [0][1], which lets it do that on-demand loading. Skills (like another comment mentioned) have a progressive disclosure mechanism built-in. Agent Skills [2] appear to be the common format

I had the same experience with JobScan. I felt that it helped me on my resume overhaul with some good clear suggestions, but didn't work well with editing and replacement, especially with my resume hosted in Google docs. I cancelled my

I've been watching a YouTube channel named Climate Town that recently did a video talking about natural gas, and leakage was a focus point in the video. It's like a documentary-style comedy channel, and I quite enjoy both the co

One aspect that I find discouraging is the significant opportunity cost associated with the time and effort required during the job search process. Instead of using this time for skills development, exploring new technologies, or excelling

I agree that the usability has been declining. The threads feature is pretty close to useful, but it still buries information and it isn't clear to other users in a channel when a thread becomes "live" again unless they expli

I thought this was going to be similar to https://play.kotlinlang.org/koans/overview . I used that as a quick way when doing other things to slowly learn parts of the language before diving in, was hoping this would be

YAML templating is something I've come to truly hate. It seems that tools and services want the configuration to be "simple" by using a format that is fairly easy for humans to parse while not trying to force a language speci

`kustomize` is an interesting and useful tool, and it is cool to see it available directly in `kubectl` in 1.14. A lower barrier to entry is nice to have for tools like this. It is useful on its own, but I'm also looking forward to add

This is one of my favorite features, too. I've found it works amazing when you generate the documentation or render it locally. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in "safe" mode sites like GitHub or GitLab where having a lig

It sounds like the philosophy is "don't break your consumers", which I agree with. Somebody else already linked his Spec-ulation talk, but I think somewhere in there he compares the 10 minutes a library author spends on depre

Thanks for the reply. I wrote that post earlier this morning after some other frustration, so I'm sorry for the negative tone. Despite some of our issues with it, Conda has worked well for us both as a development team and in productio

Last time I tried, it also required that the target Python version be installed somewhere on the path. If pipenv used venv instead of virtualenv, something like pyenv to retrieve/install Python versions, and was distributed as a full e

SaltStack also has the JINJA2 template embedding which can make it very difficult to understand which parts of the lifecycle run through templating. I'm still not certain I understand how it works. The most recent offenders for bastard

I think you are greatly understating the difference between amateurs and top players in the NHL. Watching the players coming from the feeder leagues to the NHL, you can tell that there can be a _huge_ difference in skill. The Blackhawks thi

I wasn't aware that Python3 was pre-installed on major distros, I don't believe it was by default on my Ubuntu 16.04. It is possibly I removed it, though. It does look like 18.04 is going to bundle Python 3 [1]. I agree with you t

The threads found on this are disappointing as well ([1] and [2]). The author(s), as far as I can tell, only make the source available for each release. They do not want a public repository and are very resistant when others ask. They do ma
