Exactly. It's hard enough to save money as it is. News websites blow my mind with this - if I forked over $5 to every news outlet I occasionally like to read, I'd be spending at le…

It's a free article but you have to login and click continue without subscribing.

Ha ha, the machine has its quirks.

> It stings having to pay an extra $15k / yr, but for our kids learning and mental health I'd happily pay double. Austinite here w/family in Dallas. Dallas is unusual compared to A…

I haven't read the document but what's wrong with the term "human"? Is there some other intelligent life-form on this planet contributing to technology and software today that I'm …

I also have an APC Back-UPS. Mine are the Back-UPS 650 model, I have two of them. Both emit an annoying LOUD high-frequency capacitor whirring noise that is audible to my ears even…

Zero problems here either. I paid much less than $370 in the USA. Much better headphones than my Sony wh-1000xm3 or powerbeats. So at least two of us.

The points you make are fine but I think the experience becomes more painful linearly with the number of servers you manage, since you're N times more likely to see something happe…

Wow, that is an interesting fact... thanks. I've never heard this before, and I don't think it's common knowledge among non-Mormons like myself. Interesting stuff...

Probably not but for certain use-cases Intel is just way easier and less trouble (building a Hackintosh with Thunderbolt 3 connections for a UA audio interface, for one). And yeah,…

Just wait until January when Elon replaces Trump in the Oval Office.

In this case, many of the features appear to be improvements upon features originally introduced in Garageband iOS, so the features are trickling backwards consumer -> pro.

Haha. I probably share your viewpoint about 90% of the time (I do not have kids), but people do not like to hear harsh statements like this.

Python is great, but I think the answer to "develop a web app as quickly as possible" is just going to be whatever the developer has been using and is comfortable with. A .NET deve…

Installing something is easy, learning how to write Elixir/Phoenix/maybe Erlang is the hard part. Don't ever let "installation" prevent you from trying something, on Mac it's liter…

> Its the guy that always reaches for the menu bar instead of learning keyboard shortcuts I think judging someone based on their computer habits like being a command-line guy versu…

Nice, I ordered a pack for myself. Better than adding Tp to Instacart and hoping it magically shows up.

Hmm I do have ADHD but your first statement "learn the technique, not to finish" definitely could apply to me both in technical (software engineering and coding) areas of my life a…

Kurzarbeit is described on Google as "Short-time working or short time is a situation or system in which civilian employees agree to or are forced to accept a reduction in working …

Interesting username, that's for sure!

Don't you mean >N days? If a maintenance schedule requires maintenance every 60 days but the plane needs to be rebooted every 50 days, that would be cause for concern.

It is pretty pointless though!

Perhaps installation and config are not as streamlined as one of the many available k8s setup tools, but the tools themselves are much easier to understand and less broad than the …

Hmm, most of my work laptops never get used unplugged and I've never had issues. It might be fun to implement some sort of service that checks battery life once per day and turns o…

I agree with you :) but let's not tell the employers who gladly buy the top-of-the-line models for their programmers ;) I am quite happy with my new 2020 MBP.
