apologies I answered the three of you all in this one reply. Hope it's of enough interest and easy enough to discern if something is not what you asked.* OK, really? Y'all dig it; …

Oh, I guess I should have linked the reason I mention the limited target audience that will get the "punchlines", especially for those who don't feel like watching a video or liste…

There are exactly two audiences that I can think of that might understand the punchlines which I am rather proud of one is in Las Vegas and the other is right here, which I can rea…

Hey! Neat to see some more folks that have a story to tell about the oerhaps unintended side effects of the way the dot was implemented in gmail addresses. Reading these dot-relate…

Oh, the main repo for the late source and supplemental works in progress it https://github.com/scottvr/GUM_of_Devops and some other supplementary docs are in https://github.com/sco…

I am honored to have my recent paper, "The Grand Unified Model of DevOps/SRE Dynamics" (at times referred to simply as "GUM"; the direct link to my paper only is at https://github.…

> 100s of Pollocks throwing paint around wildly within a corp to meet a paint quota I wish I had written that.

What's interesting to me is that while it was obvious to all of us who came to think in the Unix Way, that insofar as composability, usage discoverability, and gobs of documentatio…

This just gave me a flashback to something I made a long time ago, which was a tool to create a file that was a named pipe - the contents of which were determined by the command in…

As a former SUN sysadmin/netadmin (from SunOS 4.1.4 days), I vaguely remember the Solaris releases after 2.5.1, maybe to another re-version/branding called Solaris 7, maybe? And th…

I apologize in advance, but this is my one pre-existing contribution to the world that mentions mapping of Drosophilia brains, and having just used it in its intended "copypasta" r…

If this sounds interesting, and you have a moment and a favorite API, I'd appreciate your experience testing it out, or if the README needs more detail, etc. I have been solely usi…

APIFUSEfs. It does what the ShowHN title says it does. (I had originally named it "apifuse", but find there is a SaaS by that name, so renamed the repo apifusefs, but still need to…

I think this is apropos of the "Show HN" tag, as the post is explanatory and the entire codebase this little side-story use case discussed in TFA is in the repo and free to use. (I…

"It's a test - designed to provoke an emotional response. " I was going to follow this with something like "except the role of analyzing the emotional response is reversed", and th…

You cause me to have an additional thought on the topic which is that as much as I expressed a sense of dread at the inevitable use of this sort of tech in hiring pipelines (not by…

Hmm.. My first thought is that great, now not only will e.g., HR/screening/hiring hand-off the reading/discerning tasks to an ML model, they'll now outsource the things that requir…

I remember setting up CruiseControl when I was at a J2EE shop. That and Mantis, but I don't remember which was before which.

"Lawful Intercept". Some may find this interesting https://www.fcc.gov/calea

It might be worth mentioning the concept of "stub resolver" and clarifying a bit that a nameserver is a resolver. That might be being pedantic, but thought it might be worth clarif…

I don't care if this is an advertisement for buildkite masquerading as a blog post or if this is just an honest rant. Either way, I gotta say it speaks a lot of truth.

Tangentially related, I once wanted to render a NetworkX DAG in ASCII, and created phart to do so. There's an example of a fairly complicated graph of chess grandmaster PGM taken f…

Yes. This type of behavior was what I was referring to in an earlier comment mentioning flashbacks to seeing logs from named filled with "cannot have cname and other data", and sla…

You just caused flashbacks of error messages from BIND of the sort "cannot have CNAME and other data", from this proximate cause, and having to explain the problem many, many times…
