Redpanda We have lot of open roles in engineering. We're fully remoo. We have people in 17 countries right now. I'm personally hiring SRE in APAC (we need coverage in those timezon…

Agreed for two out of three but I've never used Photoshop. I think it's worse for confluence. There are viable alternatives to jira but I've found nothing even "good enough" to rep…

Because I'm selfish, diving was one of my first thoughts. "I use this all the time!" Context only counts for a time. My wife reminded men of one of her favorite childhood books tha…

I think it summarizes the problem of 4chan. It doesn't say anywhere that the media tool the bait and the ADL has an old blog post making it clear that, at the time, it was a hoax. …

The barrier to entry for adoption is ridiculously high in the united States. Not only are you beholden to the ethics and morals of some agency but the hard cash necessary is signif…

Seth is a big deal in the Chef community, so it's important to understand that. In fact, he's a big deal in the devops community. What he did was make a statement. He made it clear…

You don't have to replace the full toilet. There are plenty of options that fit on an existing toilet. You can get simple ones that are just spray all the way up to seat replacemen…

My phone is a Walmart special $30/no but my wife, on Fi, spends the max (~$90). She streams music for our kid, while driving. Dropping her to $70/mo is a win for me. Obviously ever…

I'm in the same boat. That phone looks physically perfect for my needs but I don't use WhatsApp, Facebook or most of the Google ecosystem (the exceptions being gmail and calendar f…

I'll clarify: The batch of phones going out in 19 days is not a finished product. It's expected to be loose fitting, not have endcaps on the switches, not have properly functioning…

Well, I'm out. This is disappointing and is starting to have a pretty bad vapor smell. I shelled out the change for a presale but thevpruce difference isn't worth it for unfinished…

Yes but not for google apps, slack and a browser full of bloat. I have all this RAM for the actual engineering I do.

You shouldn't _have_ to care but the reality is, if you use your systems and chrome eats 4GB+, then you do care. Chrome regularly consumes a major percentage of my available RAM an…

Try Firefox Preview. It's not feature rich but I've been very happy with it. It is simple and fast.

It's needed as an argument to justify additional scope creep.

Does single window screen sharing work yet? Perhaps it's just me but I haven't found an xorg problem in my life that's fixed in wayland but I've had a few problems in wayland that …

Wayland is nearly vaporware, gnome 3 is optional, kde plasma is optional, nvidia drivers are optional and have functional FOSS replacements, pulse I'll grant you (and hope you see …

The fact that we're still having _this_ conversation, after after a decade since being released and years after mass adoption, should say a lot. I can't think of any other software…

Came here to say this. Potentially interested but I've lost all interest because I can't zoom the page to actually look at the screenshot. I consider this bad behavior and I don't …

Atlassian has a major flaw in their understanding of how a lot of developers work and it is evident by all heir "new" versions of stuff. They've made simple editing harder (WYSIWYG…

> I personally have been focused on making positive changes with 15 solid minutes of effort. Because that's all I'm going to have before I'm interrupted. It's annoying and I would …

Agreed. We used to think similar things about email, Slack has just amplified the problem. One place that I do think Slack is to blame is not providing a way to filter noise. Becau…

It was a "good enough" practice until better options came along. It's never been a "good" practice. Take a look at lists of breached passwords and you'll see an overwhelming number…

So if you can't solve for everything, you can't solve for anything? Gun massacres, in this country are on the rise. What else is and at what rate? You're arguing assumptions when w…
