I have seen them doing an ultra marathon on the second night of no sleep. It's weird how you brain fills so much detail in. The creatures I could see were like gollum from LoTR but with reptilian skin..they were either smoking pipes or

I think its more about priorities to be honest. I work from home and I am currently getting towards the end of a training plan that will have me running an ultra marathon. Working from home has been a huge plus in achieving that, as time I

> Hardest challenge for me was staying in shape, because I lacked self-discipline to workout and eat healthy, but funny enough work didn't suffer and it was the most productive period in my life. How do you expect that will be fixe

Tulips are a really bad analogy The supply of tulips isn't fixed which is the key difference. The whole Tulip bubble came about from a large follow through spike in tulip production flooding the market, until supply inevitably outstrip

I really don't worry about this as a 46 year old engineer. For me I still feel young and I still love tech and my age just does not factor , and for anyone who it would factor, I don't want to work for. I have always had quite a g

Awful advice to try and pull that one. Most managers will shake your hand right there or they are going to have in mind that you were previously looking for work and considering another offer, so are not a candidate they can build plans aro

I really have not being paying much attention to crypto (apart from seeing the odd thing on reddit and here). I hold some BTC and ETH, is it a case that what I have is no longer holding the value I believed it has?

"The "Zen" of vi is that you're speaking a language. The initial y is a verb. The statement yy is a synonym for y_" ok, so what is y underscore?

Just had a play with this on a VM. Really not much of a challenge to adjust to from docker. The posix style CLI args are quite similar as is the stdout. This was enough to get me into a container: debcontainer=$(buildah from debian)

I would honestly hold off on Scotland until its known how things will work out. Scotland's budget deficit is now 10% of GDP which is larger than that of Greece. To be a member of the EU it requires a deficit of no more than 3% of GDP.

Well that is me completely putting a blacklist on any travel to the US for work or pleasure. This is just going to far. Its a shame, I really love going to America for tech events, but there is no way I am going check my laptop into luggage

There is more chance of the pope converting to Islam, then MS acquiring Red Hat. That is one acquisition that would turn to shit over night, and MS would be left with just some logos, as the companies main assets (its engineering) would all

This is why I am highly sceptical of start ups, and it would take a helluva a lot for someone to convince me to join another. I prefer big corps, as its possible to control you work load a little more and transfer internally if you get a ba

You missed Red Hat, who seem to be the only company having major success with OpenStack [1] Most of IBM, Intel, HPE etc have thrown in the towel and now offer their own services on top of Red Hat OpenStack. OpenStack has now found itself be

Which is completely wrong. We have no problem with engineers, doctors and skilled people coming to the UK. We just don't want an open door policy where its free entry to EU migrants with no skills at all. Let me ask you this, if the US

You're right, unsanitized user input is a risk when its externally crafted. At best in this case, its more sloppy coding then a high security risk.

Me too. I had a spate where I went over to using emacs (built my own setup around spacemacs). It was very powerful, and I found stuff like helm, projectile very nice (org-mode with export to reveal.js was sexy as hell). But then I just drop
