bryanl··on Octant: A tool to help devs understand what's going on in a Kubernetes cluster
(i'm the author)

We had a choice to make. We could have used a port, but then would have had to find a solution for when that port was used. So the choice was made to use a random port.

bryanl··on Jsonnet – A data templating language
ksonnet isn't a Helm replacement and in the next release of ksonnet, we'll support Helm packages.
bryanl··on How Raganwald Lost His Crown
Most of the people world weigh themselves in kilograms.
bryanl··on Update on Stock Options/RSUs Vesting Issue
How is this a win when it is coupled with the changes to healthcare that could adversely affect millions? Once again it looks as if super wealthy America is out of touch with the masses.
bryanl··on Luxury Home Mainstays May Be Gone in 20 Years
I have a "two" car garage that is wide enough for one car, but not quite for two. Plent of room on the empty side for power tools, bike storage, lawn mower and the snow blower.
bryanl··on Luxury Home Mainstays May Be Gone in 20 Years
I find it weird to suggest that garage will go away. Once you get used to parking your car outside of the elements, you won't want to go back.
bryanl··on DigitalOcean cli app auth to unknown server over http
doctl author here. The server isn't unknown, that's its name. This project was a private effort, and this component will be migrated to TLS and a DO domain on Monday. In the mean time, you can create a configuration file at $HOME/.doctlcfg (which is yaml formatted) and add an entry `access-token: <your access token>`, and you won't need to run `doit auth login`.
bryanl··on Docker 1.6: Engine and Orchestration Updates, Registry 2.0, and Windows Client
DigitalOcean has a tutorial series on Docker[0] with a discussion on the components[1].

bryanl··on P-Values are not Error Probabilities (2003) [pdf]
TLDR:

"p’s and α’s are not the same thing; they measure different concepts"

bryanl··on Coming Soon – AWS SDK for Go
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that probably isn't true. All go at DigitalOcean is deployed using one of two mechanisms. Nothing is `go run` outside of a developer's workstation.
bryanl··on Negative comments
Why not start your comment, "Hello. I agree with your points. I'd also like to add ..."?
bryanl··on In Search of Dark Stars
This is the same Freese who has proposed detecting dark matter using gold and DNA. I have no idea if she is right or wrong, but reading about this kind of researching is exciting to me.
bryanl··on Proposal to split California into six states, Silicon Valley one of them
It actually is a problem. The residents of DC don't have fair representation. Politicians and the like are actually a very small portion of the population in DC.
bryanl··on Android coming to wearables
The software is an important part of this, but I'm more interested in seeing what new types of hardware will run this OS. The watch concept is only neat to me right now.

It definitely feels like Android is ripe to bust the confines of the phone and move in to other parts of our lives. The work that Qualcomm is putting in their Snapdragon platform is evidence of this.

bryanl··on Amazon Prime Air
Bezos mentioned this in his 60 Minutes interview.
bryanl··on Amazon Prime Air
The drones would be autonomous. According to the 60 Minutes piece, it sounds like it is five years out. With a 10 mile radius, this could be an interesting proposition.
bryanl··on My two-week review of Google Glass: it all depends on the price
The pictures aren't bad. I've taken quite a few with my Glass and most are more than acceptable. The hard part is making sure your head isn't tilted.
bryanl··on My two-week review of Google Glass: it all depends on the price
There isn't an option. We will just purchase the new device. I have a hunch that if you do cool stuff with Glass using the explorer edition, Google will have problem shipping you the final release gratis.
bryanl··on My two-week review of Google Glass: it all depends on the price
You can review the video you've taken. I'm not sure if the timeline cards support the video HTML tag. The hardware can handle it, so this is just a software limitation,
bryanl··on My two-week review of Google Glass: it all depends on the price
This interesting. Owning Glass, I can assure you that of is possible to maintain eye contact while viewing content. Depending on the amount of cognition needed to process the content, this perceived conversation might be broken.
bryanl··on Nobody Knows That I Use These Apps
Isn't this what analytic packages are for? The app receiving the push message on your phone could anonymously provide analytics back to the server and with that knowledge alone, they know you are using it. Also additional analytics can be provided to see if you actually open the app.
bryanl··on The Perl Renaissance
Ruby doesn't have great support for math, science or AI. There are projects out there trying to make the ecosystem better, but currently it trails Python.
bryanl··on WTF Google, you stole my $5
It could have taken less time to call your CC company than to write this blog post.
bryanl··on Mapping Racist Tweets in Response to President Obama's Re-election
Speaking as a black person, I can see cases where racist tweets would have been flagged, but weren't really racist. A black person (in some circles) could say, "Damn, that nigger Obama was reelected!" Is this racist? In this case, the use of "nigger" could be a term of endearment. It would have still been flagged during this survey.
bryanl··on JRuby 1.7.0. Released
The JDBC driver doesn't support EXPLAIN or COPY
bryanl··on Racism at a gaming company
I've taken walks through Baltimore. Unfortunately an oppressed people will lash out at those who they think are oppressing them. You could have never performed any ill acts to those black men who beat you, but to them, you represent the reason why they think they can't get ahead. It's not right, but it is a reality.

Also, please don't support your views with the, "I have black friends" excuse. It doesn't help your cause.

bryanl··on On Mastery
I believe those numbers matched up to the his Ignite slides. 20 slides at 15 seconds a piece. He wasn't thumbing his nose at anything.
bryanl··on Android Ported to C#
People have responded with MonoTouch, but there is also Unity3d http://www.unity3d.com. You can author games for quite a few platforms with it.
bryanl··on Pastie.org host pulls hosting after DDoS attack
This is a good chance to move over to http://gist.github.com for all your pasting needs.
bryanl··on Putting out fires at 37signals: The on-call programmer
I believe that programmers shouldn't have to work support "sometime in their life", they should be working it at their current position. Sometimes it is all too easy to throw the problems over the fence to a tech ops (fancy name for sysadmins?) or the even worse -- the dreaded app support team. Having to live with the decisions your code makes can hopefully only make it better.
