Quick description, Conda is like a supercharged "pip" from the Python world, and now supports other languages too. So it's like an npm/nvm as well, and beyond. I'd like to know mor…

He begins the talk "I was driving here at 90 mph...". I find this interesting. As I recall Bill Gates had a pension for speeding too, accumulating many tickets in his Porsche in bo…

One Thing - Jetbrains IDE or anything else where you can configure a ton of options. Have a cron script to constantly export the preference file and sync to cloud or local NAS.

Why are using Zetta Hosting Solutions LLC out of Bulgaria? I'm a pretty rigorous Catholic, but they have a vanishingly small Christian and even Jewish population to my knowledge. T…

Cloud certs are currently the most desired in the US right now. By that I mean, in order of precedence ... AWS, GCP/Azure, and then Oracle. I would also add the recent certs from E…

I believe 4 Japanese-Americans in 3 separate attacks were killed the day of Pearl Harbor in SF. Police were deployed to protect the community, but this was not until the afternoon …

I normally don't side with less security, but yes. Historical internet websites come to mind. These are posted from time to time here.

I once read an article that theorized that as a covert means of pre-war, countries would publish bogus disease, human health, and pathology data along with fake stats on "how poiso…

The most incredible thing about all this is that Parler was built on top of ... WordPress. Robert Mercer put $10,000,000 into Parler, and they build out a WordPress app. I don't me…

FYI the debug logs are a very curious part of all this. Signal streams them usually to a domain they keep their ownership of somewhat hidden. The domain is: debuglogs.org and the e…

I can't comment on all parts of Voice of America, but Ultrasurf and Dynamic Internet Technology have been a fraud for some time [1]. The Tor Project had a wonderful review some yea…

Ok I could see this except for one thing I found out recently. "Long-existing hosting companies" have traded hands a bunch of times. Wild West Domains, Tucows, etc are like 6 diffe…

Their employee list is...strange. According to LinkedIn, all of their employees are also CEOs of their own other companies? One of their VPs has been both CEO of a lighting firm si…

The nicer they are in the interview the more that tends to indicate you will not receive an offer. I used to wonder why this was, but kept seeing these types of anecdotes pop up ag…

The entire Emergency Alert System for the US is bizarre. Onsolve and GovDelivery totally dominate it. They seem to have barely any engineering talent on LinkedIn. GovDelivery, I th…

I'm a cloud engineer today with about a decade of experience. I mainly build and maintain K8s clusters for those who've made the unusual choice of going with EKS. That being said, …

Email today has grown very dark and is definitely not the fun whimsical world they mention it was when they started their business in the 1990's. I vaguely remember this world. I w…

What have people been using for Yubikeys as an alternative? Installing safes onsite and self monitoring?

Go with Linode. I am somewhat shocked that DO, while being great, doesn’t support Yubikeys. Really surprised me and was a dealbreaker.

Russian—speaking developers headquartered out of Ukraine. Lol. That being said, it doesn’t appear to have been updated since 2017.

This reminds me of the Council on Jobs and Economic Competitiveness established by the Federal Government in 2009. This group, which included some of the biggest CEOs then and now,…

There are many fascinating relics and bizarre ancient remnants in human DNA. Endogenous Viral Elements are a great example of this. Referred to as “horizontal evolution”, there are…

Independent Contractor...aka Corp-to-Corp...should be minimum 30% higher than that. I would argue double, but I don’t know enough about the subject. That being said the only devs I…

3-5 years for AWS / Azure should be minimum $70 per hr (I assume you have some certs). 7-10 years you are talking $80-95 This is in the major cities of Texas. If you accept less th…

There are some emerging platforms online for this, but shockingly the available mentors far outnumber the mentees. For now I’ve found the twitter handle #mentoringmondays very hand…
