From keeping up to date on the news, I always feel as if we're on the brink of the end of the world, massive recessions, and war so I've almost normalized the current state. Howeve…

I posted once from an old account but never received any responses. Most of the jobs at the time were for web developers in the US. I'm a devops/systems engineer (AWS/Security/Scal…

You may have just helped me identify celiac disease. I've had gastro issues for over 10 years. I've also experienced the DH symptoms with no resolution. Tuesday I have a gastro/end…

Fair enough. I would never argue that Vim's text editing functionality wasn't superior. However, the advocates I've encountered all touted it as superior, "...in every way." and I …

Take your well earned upvote! I've had many a person say the same thing to me about Vim and despite the fact that I like it, I can't see myself being as productive as I am in a nor…

Reminds me of this: http://www.mongodb-is-web-scale.com/ "Docker, docker, docker!" Edit: I'm not knocking either of these products - I actively use Mongodb in production. I like do…

As a systems engineer, I struggle with this virtually every day. We're called 'DevOps' by most and anytime we encounter a new problem, everyone invariably screams for containers. C…

I don't understand the logic of this article. My side projects tend to be efforts in self employment, not 'click bait' for an employer. While not everyone has the same approach, th…

As someone with the 6,1 and a recently upgraded 5,1 (single CPU tray to dual, GPU, RAM, SSD), I hope you're right. I like the idea of the 6,1 but in reality the 5,1 is what I'd exp…

I worked on contract at this department and was declined a contract renewal when I was reprimanded for identifying a DOCUMENTED zero-day in of our scripts that managed some lofty s…

If you don't like it, pay for it.

Working there a while ago was quite interesting. The corporate structure is incredibly heavy on management and lacks communication. You could have more managers than you knew and i…

I suffered from this disease in Montreal, Canada at the age of 5. It came on as Scarlet Fever. Eventually entire portions of my limbs were 'peeling'. The skin on my tongue peeled t…

And you are? What did your comment contribute other than demonstrating how much of a twat you are?

The context makes that a silly question.

Have you tried using Mesos? We're doing a POC but ran into some issues that we're going to wait out. Also, I've spoken to Mesos and they stated that they had no intentions to make …

... thanks Monsanto? In all seriousness, this is really interesting. They solved some of the problems associated with persisting a cluster and we're likely going to use that. Feels…

Is anyone using these at scale but with a small team to support it? We have a 5-6k fleet of servers across 3 DCs + another 1.5k in AWS. I tried deploying Mesos with mixed results. …

As an active member of the tech community here, I find it interesting to read about how big the pie is for province. Also, hiring qualified developers/operations staff is virtually…

Vancouver reporting in! Consumption is quite high from my anecdotal experience. I personally consume ~3-6 cups a day. I work in the tech field up here and that seems to be pretty s…

The most luck I had with this was tackling a massive problem with something elegant then offering the idea of regular expressions when a similar problem came up for my colleagues.

Sorry to hear that. Went through similar crap with them. Was not impressed since I had worked with a few of the people they did hire for other roles.

As a native of Montreal, I had a lot of OPs friends who lived through those companies. I actually ended up doing sysadmin work in Ottawa, then Vancouver. Avoided a lot of that junk…

This actually sounds really interesting. At my last startup, I built the infrastructure for a live video streaming platform for concerts. Handling HD concert video can't be much di…
