> Is kubernetes worth learning if you don't use microservices at work? Maybe. K8s makes orchestration better. (If you disagree look at the last time marathon/mesos/dcos released and propose a better replacement.) Do you ne

My gut would say it's not really your responsibility to prompt the cancellation as long as you're not actively trying to make it hard to do. That is, in this situation you'd be accountable but not responsible. On the flip sid

Reminds me of high school. We also had locked down computers, but one day I noticed that one of the programs on the system had a directory structure of hundreds, if not thousands, of executable plugins that needed run-access for the progra

I wasn't arguing with the utility of the site. I was agreeing with the commenter's sentiment that films these days often coddle their viewers in a way I find uninspiring. Not being provocative at all.

> Do you think the situation is different in more specialized niches Yes, but honestly it really depends on what you want to do. As an example, I'm currently starting to hire for a small tech company in the life-sciences space. A ca

My grandfather (born Philadelphia 1932) always told a story about how kids in his town would go to the train tracks in the winter and throw rocks at the engines. This would prompt the conductor to throw back pieces of coal from the engine t

I have lived in a US city with pretty decent public transportation without a car for several years until recently. The problem is just complete lack of flexibility. Want to do anything an hour out of the city - you're either begging f

Just curious, why does reality have to be "cured?" Living means feeling pain and pleasure, triumph and defeat, love and hate, grief and bliss. I would challenge anyone to prove that you can have any one of those without its oppos

I will be the first to admit that I often think cynically about things. I also think complaining about something is completely counter-intuitive to a cynical disposition. Wikipedia might not be the best place to look for a definition, but d

I've been using GitLab pages along with its CI, and it has been really great for static sites. For less static websites, I'd recommend signing up for free tier GCP. They give you a (very small) VM for free. I've had no prob
