Lima[0] also looks like a promising replacement on macOS. It manages provisioning a VM with nerdctl[1] installed, networking, and shared storage. The project has a support path for…

Unless the software is classified, the source code is available via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

One thing to check is sleep apnea. It has become relatively straightforward to diagnose with the advent of at home sleep tests — you put on a special watch and sleep in your bed. I…

Bad news does not age well.

I live 1.5 miles from the Crystal City HQ2 site in Alexandria, VA. Are there affordable housing, transportation, and public safety issues we have to address? Of course. Will we ben…

Of course they care about those battles. Not only could they impact their renewal and/or trigger large penalties, but they can (and often do with large contracts) percolate up to C…

The intelligence community (IC) [1] is not part of the JEDI contract [2]. While many IC components are part of DoD, the IC spans a wider swath of government (e.g. parts are distrib…

I live about 2 miles away. I can tell you that not only have they been building it out at a prodigious pace (they had people were working in Crystal City by the end of 1Q2019). The…

You must contend with politics working for USG at any level for any department/agency. There are plenty of very nasty, bitter politics within each of the intelligence agencies, as …

One of the primary drivers for JDK support is security. As far as I can tell, Oracle remains the only member of the OpenJDK community participating in the vulnerability pre-disclos…

It's not just millenials in this case. I am an GenX-er with a wife and two kids. We are planning to switch to a mail order pharmacy (Pill Pack or Costco -- dependent on cost) in th…

We use minikube's support for Docker insecure registries to build and deploy images locally. It works perfectly for us.

Ditto. Sounds like a bunch of egos I want to avoid at all costs.

As someone who lives in the region, the lanes are complete gouging. They diverted a tremendous amount of tax dollars to build them, and then turned them over to a private company t…

Ask owners of beautifully designed Frank Lloyd Wright houses how happy they are with the leaky roofs that plague them. Wright didn't understand construction which lead to many prac…

If you have a family member who is a member of the military or attached in a civilian capacity, I highly recommend Navy Federal Credit Union. They payback all ATM fees and have a g…

The following are a few alternatives off the top of my head: * Google Compute Engine * Microsoft Azure * Joyent * IBM BlueMix * Linode (like DigitalOcean more VPS than cloud provid…

I couldn't agree more with you. Erasure was one of the top boneheaded decisions made in the history of Java development. The irony was that it was done in the name of backwards com…

It fails the quiet test, but the Unicomp IBM Model M clones [1] are excellent. They licensed the patents from IBM, and have updated the design for updated layouts and USB. In parti…

Another completely missed opportunity on their part. Apple has the cash and where with all to be a bank. All they would need to do is purchase a community bank somewhere, and bam, …

My thinking is that it would lower the barrier of entry. The iPad/iPhone cannot be used to accept payments without some kind of addon that can break or get lost. The moment someone…

By physically, I mean having to use it from the device. I don't know how common a use case I represent, but I do most of my e-commerce purchasing from my laptop. I would have more …
