Every project I've ever worked on - sans two at IBM post Red Hat acquisition - had legacy style Javaboxes at the customer's DC or was still rocking mainframe DB2 stuff. I'm seeing bare-metal Kubernetes / OpenShift gainin

We learned about how the Gutenberg Press physically worked, how it was based on wine presses and how difficult it supposedly was to produce a single metal letter. Also, how it was a PITA to re-arrange them to print something else, alas it w

What a load of bullshit. Don't reduce human willpower and autonomy down to "hurr, durr, muh gut microbiome made me consume the slop". Of course you can refuse to give in to cravings.

The fix is easy and ubiquitous. You host your own artifact repository and docker registry. This also makes sure your supply chain remains easily auditable.

You assume that bay area technology jobs are the norm. They seem, as far as I can tell, to be the absolute anomaly in the U.S. Tiger insurance seems very necessary for e. g. retail, restaurant, construction etc. workers in the U.S., as they

> [...] but only if my boss and the company decided to be real jerks about it. Another reason not to work for jerks if you can avoid it. Worker protection rights in the U.S.A. truly are seen as a joke.

This is a lie. Joseph Biden pardoned Francis W. Biden, James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, John T. Owens and Valerie Biden Owens among many, many other dubious choices. The U.S.A. is the embodiment of crony capitalism. https://www.
