    I'm still pretty new to devops and I personally love Jenkins but man is it a PITA at times. My biggest gripe is that every plug-in seems to be no longer actively maintained. We rea…

    Yeah, I could have worded that better. I know Zyzz was on bb.com only (well, and 4chan).

    Tangentially related but, Zyzz was also a hugely popular member of the BB forum. He was known as having one of the most desirable physiques and had a big personality (he frequently…

    It would be super rad if someone plugged this dataset into CMU Sphinx. Google is the only decent ASR and a competitive open source alternative would be awesome. A big thank you to …

    This comment hits the nail on the head for me. Pick a cloud provider. Spin up an instance that will be your server. Spin up an instance that will be your DB. Make your DB only list…

    Are you saying the tech industry doesn't have a diversity problem? Isn't the gender ratio all the evidence you need?

    I learned a different version of this, especially relevant to those in the Bay Area. During a gold rush, don’t dig for gold, sell shovels!

    In the movie Take Your Pills, they mention Warhol taking a drug similar to Adderall. Wikipedia says it was Obetrol[1]. As an amphetamine I imagine it had a profound effect on him a…

    This tool shows a lot of promise to me and I've already installed it on our stage box. Thanks! Some of our log lines contain large json blobs that uno only ignores when I set the d…

    Yuval Noah Harari has a different argument in his book Sapiens. He says that we’re living in the most peaceful period of human existence ever and it’s caused by a few factors. #1 t…

    I love lists like this for getting the creative gears turning. Paul Graham's old blog post is another example, if a dated one: http://old.ycombinator.com/ideas.html

    Not sure if the OP will see this but http://sharpnado.com/ points to a “parked” page so you probably want a redirect.

    This looks awesome! I haven’t heard of most of these talks so I’m excited to dive in this weekend. Also, kudos on the UI. It’s minimal, easy to use, and works as advertised. Good s…

    I agree with a lot of this, disagree with "multichannel" bit. The idea of "learning styles" is dead in the field of psychology and the advice isn't actionable in the context of a p…

    This comment hits the nail on the head for me. I’m mostly a non-fiction reader and so many authors dance around their point or reiterate it over and over. Robert Greene is the firs…

    I'd love this for python as I'm not a big fan of Ruby. Does such a thing exist?

    +1 for this book. As a junior DevOps engineer this book has been super helpful.

    Any chance this will get back in stock on Amazon? I don't feel like signing up with Kobo but I would purchase this book. Also a softcover version would be awesome!

    Can you elaborate? What languages would fall in either category (I’m assuming python would be hacking and haskell would be protective)? Does static vs dynamic typing play a role?
