That's not the implication I got at all. Coupled with the photo, it really did seem like it would be an "Alien Plant" had I been able to be there. As far as "working together" - wo…

Currently, and for some time now, if your browser crashes, just open it back up and hit ctrl-shift-t (may differ between os and browser) - it will bring back all of the old urls (n…

My favorite is Eddie the Eagle. Watch the movie or read the book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_the_Eagle

Wholeheartedly agree. I only buy dell, and of them, I only buy latitudes. My favorite of all time was my e6440 with an socket CPU. I bought my wife one a couple of years ago, threw…

No. Today one of the tines broke on my tiller, weld sheared clean off. Have had this tiller for years and use several times a year. I used some sites to find diagrams and part numb…

I would expect that feature roughly the same time I expect full self driving in Teslas, or the Cybertruck, or a mission to Mars. Musk makes lots of promises.

That doesn't seem like the only possible reason, another one could be that it appeared the company was anti-k8s for the sake of being anti-k8s. I would walk away from a company tha…

Maybe using cert-manager & ingress-nginx to front the service with SSL. Then your ingress-nginx will front your ruby app and decorate it with ssl. Please note, and I am embarrassed…

Does this mean we won't see lawns in Scottsdale that look like they belong in Florida?

These are sad times when someone who wants to "hack" and learn and disassemble and reassemble and just "understand" gets shit on "hacker news". "Limited world view"? Really? They a…

IMO you should try to keep the code as DSL as possible, and only use the imperative features when it makes a lot of sense. For instance if you have like 10 security groups to add a…

This is true. Have guys new to JS/TS doing stuff in cdk quite a bit. Fortunately there's not much complexity to CDK's framework and if you stick to L1 constructs it's very very clo…

This sounds like neophobia or NIH syndrome. What you're doing is almost exactly the same as a docker deployment, except you're missing the ability to have some declarative leverage…

I had this too - when I first started I fought typescript quite a bit. I struggled through this because I kept finding more and more code on github that was TS, kept seeing more ar…

Somewhat off topic but have you see all of the recent (2 years) malware using webassembly? It's difficult to disable in chrome, somewhat difficult to disable in firefox, and no ext…

There may be some facts we don't know yet. The economist has done some research that suggests that the number of deaths have been significantly under-reported. https://www.economis…

I don't understand why it needs to be so political. IMO, yes, he shouldn't remove it but there are reasonable alternatives such as another maintainer setting up a network-manager-s…

Yes, that's right. I switched from an advantage to an advantage2 (which has the non-rubber keys) a few years ago as my new gig purchased the advantage2 for me. Honestly, I didn't e…

Lambda@Edge on CloudFront is similar to this, although I don't believe they have that good of performance. I suspect that this would be enough incentive for them to catch up though…

Most of the improvement is from the typings that other libraries come with, if, like you said, they are complete. Now I can just ctrl-click into an object to view it's methods and …

I don't use ruby, I am genuinely interested - why is it great? I'm assuming if it were ever allowed, it would be a use-at-will feature and wouldn't affect anyone who didn't use it.…

You're absolutely right, and I think most of us have a hard time a. learning about all of the new features and b. justifying going back and fixing up stuff to adopt the new feature…

I haven't seen as much as you, I'm sure, but I did like MP more than Angkor Wat. They are roughly the same timeframe but MP felt like AW done with Expert Mode turned on and at alti…
