Reinventing the wheel. So many hours wasted on creating something that already existed in the form of PHP libraries or Python libraries that are written by much smarter folks. I te…

I used to follow their blog and they are at the forefront of the FIRE movement. No thanks. It's crazy the length they go to in order to minimize their expense. They def have a lot …

We'll have more but I can't justify running six from the get go.

I looked into Nomad and my problem is having to run a minimum of six machines in a cluster for a few microservices. The argument could be made that we wouldn't need container orche…

amen brother

the one pic is from Philly, an ROTC exercise.

yeah I'm not sure about your last paragraph. when I interviewed at DO, the few business folks I spoke to were adamant on taking on AWS. I kind of scoffed but hey I'm not running DO…

so much for "Hipmunk isn’t going anywhere"

I have two kids (6 and 3) and if I had to do it all again I would not. I miss my old life. Not that it was anything special but the things we take for granted like grabbing a quick…

you guys are doing it all wrong. take it from us Asian folks. it's called the finger test. the amount of water above the rice should come up to the first line on your finger as you…

Yeah Reddit.

You prob dodged a bullet then. We give out take home exercises (not my idea but whatever), and we tell the client we don't care which config mgmt you use just pick something you're…

You play for the Trailblazer?

I remember when I interviewed with them, they were adament about catching up with AWS. I asked what they thought of Linode and they said "not in our radar." They billed themselves …

For me it's going to the store and getting all the ingredients. Either I can't find it (obscure ones) or they come in bulk and I can't consume all of it after making the meals. I d…

How is this different from Vault?

I'm using both S3 and Backblaze's new offering. Can't beat first 10gb free.

Can anyone confirm if they brought back the ability to select a wifi/Bluetooth connection via a drop-down from the swipe down option? You know, without having to click and go into …

No the point is it stopped him from using/trying the service. If he really was interested he would've found an alternative payment solution

So you couldn't just use a CC or some other form of payment? Seriously?

Same here though I'm leaning towards backblaze since there's no minimum.

Like many previous posters, my N5's battery is starting to die. I've changed it once and it hasn't helped. Otherwise, it's a decent phone and it has served me very well. I've thoug…

Why not S3? I use Arq with my Mac to back up my important doc, which gets encrypted in my S3 bucket. However, I'm still looking for a viable method to backup all my photos and vide…

These guys are always hiring for the same position. Either they're too picky or people end up leaving once they join.

Wish they would fix the issue with the watch triggers.
