Wow! Very cyberpunk. Is that name a pseudonym?

I do have to mention that out of all their appliances, I do love their washing machines. I have owned a couple over the last 10 years ant they just keep working.

It probably is not the same people having that discussion in every thread. Also, people may have views that can change overtime.

The Samsung microwaves, although with good build quality, are notorious for having a very bad UX.

- The buttons don't give have tactile feedback.

- Setting time is very confusing.

- You have to press multiple buttons just to start.

- If you want to cancel/clear timer, you have to press multiple buttons again.

It is too early to tell. It will depend on which fork the open source community rallies against. The license change only affects a small subset of users.

I think it will eventually flatten out with more serious users staying on. I was reluctant at first but now I keep a chatgpt tab always open. It has almost replaced Google for me.

Even for VC backed startups, I think it was never a problem until cloud providers started competing with them. It is not a level playing field if your competitors are big players like Amazon who can take away a lot of your possible customers.

This is probably going to get a lot flake but what did we expect when big tech started eating up open source solutions and competing with the companies who started the work . MongoDB and AWS is a good example. Hashicorp probably realised that they should preemptively change the licensing before bigger players started using the products to directly compete with them.

I want Hashicorp to survive and be profitable. Fact is, for the majority of the users who use terraform, the change in licensing does not impact them.

You don’t have to use terraform cloud to use terraform.

> Notably, the three largest companies that most-directly compete with HashiCorp’s managed Terraform offerings, Spacelift, Env0, and Scalr, all have made multi-million dollar pledges to support a fork of Terraform (13 FTEs for five years between these three companies).

Wow all these three companies have products offering automation using Terraform. Obviously they would be against the license change.

I will speak from my own experience of interviewing a lot of people in the last 5 years. Age has not been a factor, it's the skillset. At a senior level, the expectation is to be a bit of a generalist and have at least one skill that you are very strong at. What I don't like about the current trend of interviews is the strong focus on leetcode style interviews, most of which you will don't get to practice when you are at a staff level.

I have seen similar pricing strategies for obscure domains from other registars. Generally they entice you with a cheap first year and increase it subsequently. Some registrars make the pricing strategy apparent. I think your option is to shop around and transfer the domain to a cheaper one.

It's interesting that while other companies are doubling down on electric vehicles, Toyota has come out and said the opposite after being one of the first companies to start.

I generally work between 5-7 hours a day. A lot of it depends on having a good manager and good team members that you can rely on.

For reducing work hours, I do a lot reading internal technical documents or technical blogs with my free time. This helps me with getting the job done faster.

I also spend a lot of time helping out coworkers so when it's time for me to ask help, the job gets easier.

Another way is not to overcommit on work.

With my free time, it's mostly family and hobbies.

This reminds me of the Numberphile video on date and timezones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5wpm-gesOY

I sometimes wonder how the code to handle all this would look like.

Would love to work for Tailscale but the openings are limited to US and Canada.

The first time I saw this website, which was a year ago, I liked it so much that I was reading the code. This looks a new design, it's good but I like the earlier one more.

I bought a bunch of picture books for children which are for counting. Repetition is also a key, I try to read the books every day before sleep.

I have been working in Infra Automation and deployment automation for a while now. As much as there are complaints about having a dedicated team called "Devops", one thing that this change has really done is that CI/CD is almost a non-negotiable of application delivery now. I am sure there are a lot of teams and orgs still starting out in this transformation but its no longer something I have to explain to application teams now.

I wonder if it is a biological thing. My wife excels at multitasking but I can barely do two things at a time. I did notice the delayed speech with my wife as well.

This is the first time I am hearing about this. Very elaborate but I guess it’s worth it.

You get gitops style config management of your clusters with Anthos.

At this point, most big cloud providers cost almost the same but in terms of maturity, google’s offering is still ahead. I have not tried out digital ocean’s hosted solution, but the might be the cheapest.

In a similar situation though as not as bad as what you have and have thought I should prepare for the worst. I have CSR(Central Serous Retinopathy) for the last 3 years. It come and goes but my eyesight gets worse every time it comes back. Stay strong.

200$ is still a lot of money for the majority of the population.

I have been reading amazon reviews for the foldable ones. Not sure if I can trust them though. I have given rowing machines some thought. It will be a toss between the two.

Dad of a newborn here. I had to adapt. I had to make time for things that I want to learn. When I am on the train, now I take a book or even get work done on my laptop. I had to also cut down my netflix time to zero. I almost have no time left for physical exercise. Planning to fix that by getting a treadmill at home.

Out of curiosity, why would the community maintain two compilers. Wouldn’t that be double the work?

Not likely, as the community is trying to get Rust to get ISO 26262. If they changed the compiler and they will have a whole lot more work to get it certified.

Three years back I asked myself the same question and held out on learning Kubernetes. Now I feel like I have so much to catch up. The whole ecosystem around Kubernetes is thriving. Most job ads have some mention of Kubernetes or Microservices knowledge.
