    My personal S5 experience leads me to believe that there was some trickery afoot from Samsung's end. When I realised that my S5 was starting to get a little bit dodgy (having owned…

    This. I'm kind of suprised that I can't see any other comments talking about GTM's (I assume you mean F5 Global Traffic Managers) Where I am at the moment GTM's are used everywhere…

    No, actually, my bad, I went back and read that bit over again for a third time and it does actually say red yellow blue aren't primary, but that the primary colours are red yellow…

    Where I am at the moment we're running clusters of 400-800 containers sitting behind nginx instances and even thought we own nginx+ licenses, we've found the consul-template + SIGH…

    I was actually pretty pleased with this as a proposal right up until Problem 8 I actually use the description of commit and the time of commit quite regularly to figure out how act…

    I do wonder if there is any chance that the reason that there is a spike in reports of abuse on the Saturday following report cards coming out on a Friday is because it is more lik…

    I'm curious if you could reason this out for me. If I drink a few hundred litres of tea a day to keep me alert then why is that different to me taking ritalin? I mean its obviously…

    No shit speed and meth are stronger than coffee. I don't think that was the point being made. Or at least its probably safe to assume the commenter you are replying to didn't inden…

    As an Australian I always struggle with the idea that healthcare would cost money above a couple of dollars for things that aren't essential. But almost every American I've ever sp…

    Personally I'd be pretty sure that, at least at the bank I currently work at, this would rarely ever work. I mean, other than the attempts to foster a relationship between bank sta…

    I'm curious, when is server time ever worth more than developer time? I mean, sure, if you're doing something as a hobby and consider your own time free but have to pay $5 for a VM…
