There are actually two different SRE roles: the one people are describing above where you are 85-99% of the way to SWE (Software Engineer), and you have sysadminy experience, and a…

Instead of doing something like this, it's often actually simpler and easier to manage if you use the built-in ssh certificate feature. Check out https://www.digitalocean.com/commu…

I think you're misreading that sentence. "Examples are the programming languages Clojure, which is a contemporary dialect of Lisp, Rebol and Refal.", which claims that Clojure is a…

They would just fund the renter's legal team.

I wouldn't be so sure of that -- none of Google's clusters use ECC, for instance.

Not only is it hard to read on mobile, it also somehow disables inertia scrolling, something I've never experienced on an angularjs site

Apple prohibits most employees from working on their shuttles, interestingly enough -- too much risk that a fellow employee would see something they're not cleared for.

After struggling with thrift's Go binding (it happily generated broken Go code with the Aurora project's thrift file), I'm now skeptical that any of the others really works. I've n…

This article seems super weird -- do people actually use Grunt/Gulp to run a single command at a time? Most uses that I've encountered are along the lines of 'we've got this huge b…

It's not clear to me in what ways this is different than Trello apart from the flatter UI -- care to clarify?

Do you have links/pointers? I'm familiar with several well-running systems of this type, so I'm just curious.

If only opa were released under a license that let normal people feel safe about experimenting with it/reading its source :(.
