Just recently I wrote a brief post about how the title of ‘DevOps Engineer’ (and similar) were irking me, especially when looking for new roles / opportunities. DevOps isn’t a job title - it’s a culture and making click-bate / hip

Oh did I - whoops! That quote doesn’t give the sample size (number of people studied and in each group) though?

I’m not necessarily discounting the results however I found it odd that the primary source didn’t state the sample size (or maybe I missed it)? https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/oby.22518

Would be interesting to see this on a more modern kernel, I believe this older LTS Ubuntu uses Kernel 4.15, I’m sure they’ve back ported some security fixes etc but it won’t be the same as running the current stable kernel (5.2.3), perhaps

I was about to buy one as a spare, linux-only laptop, I was hoping they'd have 16GB-32GB RAM options (for a price of course), but they don't even have 8GB let alone 16/32... they seem to be stuck with 4GB!? That's not go

Thanks, definitely keen on a macOS version, looks interesting I've played with Universe Sandbox which is great, but I'd love this level of detail on planetary bodies and procedural generation.

Tried to get the primary source for the study behind the graphs there, links through to a paywalled study - so I can’t find the sample size, methodologies used, how the study was controlled etc... I’m not disputing anything - I am however c

I’d be interested to see this same analysis with H.265 given that its the way forward and the standard on the for many devices and media.

This (while perhaps not perfect) is massive for us, it’s going to be especially useful for Kibana authentication to add readonly and write users, something we’ve wanted for a long time but haven’t been able to afford as a non-profit, charit

If you can build the confidence - I’d recommend giving a talk about it at a local meetup group, something like a local devops / dev meetup group as long as the managers of the group think it’s appropriate for the audience. You could go

Good job, However - I guess the answer correctly with all but one - “You are much less likely to injure yourself if you do it correctly” - which I can now hear the different (or perhaps confirmation bias). There’s something artificial about

I also highly recommend Calibre, you may find there are plugins (installable within the application) that assist with physical book cataloging.

Indeed, I meant re-install the addons.

The fix doesn't seem to work if you've been using Firefox Beta (67.0b16), or if you then install Stable (66.0.4) and sign in to sync - all addons are still marked as "legacy" and not enabled. However, if you find each on
