There is also 'say' which is great if you need to step away from a long running command, in a similar fashion to ringing the terminal bell but with more context.

The whole region wasn’t down though, only zone europe-west2-a so AFAICT high availability should’ve covered this particular instance of outage.

My main confusion with this downtime is that neither their Cloud SQL nor Redis offerings managed to complete fail over despite my org having high availability enabled on both of th…

I can also do this. I do it as eye exercises when I’m staring at screens for a long time.

This was at near the top of the front page around half an hour ago and now it has disappeared... What happened? Is this being filtered for some reason?

I also would have agreed with OP 5 years ago. Working in a leadership capacity for a prolonged period has emphasised the human side of coding, that is working in a team and respect…

Not sure about the interaction aspect of the device, but it reminds me of the "Pico Siblings" required by the (now discontinued?) Pico project by my old lecturer which aimed to get…

If you can, commit wholely to a parsing formatter and plug it into your CI pipeline. I've come to realise over the years that its not style I care about per-se, but consistency. Wi…

I learned vim so that ostensibly I could fire up an editor and begin coding on pretty much any linux box I come across. This is essentially a solution to that goal, multiplied acro…

I think quashing divisive conversations in the workplace is generally a healthy thing to do for the well-being of your employees, however Facebook has put itself in a unique positi…

> One of the benefits of HATEOAS is that it allows REST clients to be loosely coupled with REST services, in a way that APIs can change freely change My point is that even though t…

Most of the APIs I use and build are best suited as RPC systems rather than hypermedia networks, so implementing the entire REST idea has never been immediately useful. Broadly the…

I'm guessing Epic wants the court to break down Apple's monopoly on app sales on iPhones, potentially by requiring them to allow third party app sales via alternative marketplaces,…
