We use Tekton to manage our CI pipeline and I agree that the way it enforces very little structure is a strength. On the other hand it's new enough that if you need to stretch its …

I agree. This is very weird but also a very subtle and good comment.

This is funny, the first couple of times I heard it I also wondered if I was going a bit mad. When you are out all alone and you hear a sound that you can't explain I think it's pr…

I have no opinion on anything, FWIW because I actually spent most of my time in Woods Hole. My recollection of all this is from the local paper. EDIT: Cliche as it as, the fish bit…

I don't have an ocean-going vessel, but if I did I'd buy rescue/tow insurance. It's not super expensive and when you need it, you need it.

Very interesting. Maine also has a significant transmitter array in Cutler with 30 or so antennas around 900 ft tall apiece. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VLF_Transmitter_Cutler I …

Yeah, I thought it was a generator or mower at first. It's just quiet enough that I mistook it for a much louder sound that had grown faint due to my distance from the source.

Two unrelated anecdotes: 1. A few years ago I spent some time in Falmouth, MA and there was an ongoing battle over newly installed wind turbines. The humming sound was getting to p…

For certain things like layer 4 and layer 7 routing or firewall policies, health checking and failover, network-attached volumes, etc you have to choose software and configure it o…

Yup, even monoliths can benefit from certain k8s tooling (HPAs, batch jobs, etc).

I like to say (lovingly) that Kubernetes takes complex things and simplifies them in complex ways.

Anyone know what build times are for the Shopify monolith?

Upvoted. Try working with them.

Man... if there was clear market demand for immodesty we at The Awl would be billionaires by now. One can dream.

Yeah we are a blog or, rather, a network of blogs. What's your point?

Here's some elisp I use to do this (assuming I understand your issue correctly and it's the same as mine): (defun replace-regexp-g () (interactive) (save-excursion (goto-char 0) (c…

Rails developers

Does anyone know how to initiate a web compare between to branches using this thing? If I could have that + Alfred (or whatever launch bar / cli one uses) that would be amazing.

edit: thanks for the heads up, that was not the issue at hand.

Great point. I don't speak for the guys that made the decision to append the timestamp to the query, but I assume our concern is in intermediate network caches that don't honor low…
