    The Magic: The Gathering card "Blood Moon" was first printed in 1994. It seems quite unlikely that the term was invented some twenty years later.

    In a negotiation, the goal is to reach an accommodation suitable for both parties. If the web developer doesn't want to set up his server on port 80 to serve HTTP, that's his busin…

    The problem is that while it's an impressively close approximation for an off-the-cuff guess (at least if we charitably translate his "dozens"/"dozen" to 12), to the extent it was …

    When it comes to the systemd logs, this is kind of what the -x flag to journalctl does (or tries to do.) Having detailed human-level descriptions of what's going on and how to fix …

    Absolutely yes. My SaaS startup uses it, and it's really great. I strongly disagree with the "innovation tokens" argument, at least as applied here. For one thing, while Elixir and…
