Yang doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell. He’s posturing just to raise his own public profile.

I don’t believe this. The GOP is desperate to discredit him because he puts Texas into play a couple years early. This smells like a weak hit job.

I’m not sold as Beto as the candidate but this is a weak meme. 2/10 be best.

I mean, they're owned by Tencent and have zero experience with this outside of Fortnite. Pretty much what I expected to happen (not this specific gaffe but in general).

About what I expected. Say what you want about Steam but they made most of their most dumbass mistakes years ago and learned from them.

This is the most accurate description of IoT I have ever read.

"premier Linux desktop project"

That's the real yikers to me.

The metadata for downloaded files thing is all over the place (i.e. how macs will tell you that you're running something downloaded from the internet and where).

Antitrust was the first thing I thought of when I saw this. Doing it automatically based of statistics would work toward that end as well.

This, fastly makes this easy to do as well (I don't work for them, just use the product).

Maxmind dbs are... awkward to get access to. They are expensive as hell if you buy them directly but usually built into edge service products. F5 had them as well I think.

I had not great experiences with ZFS on Linux. Like broken for a month on a standard distros kernel type issues.

For personal it’s probably fine but I wouldn’t use it in prod again.

I blacklist Vultr/choopa in every environment I manage. They make zero effort to deal with botnets and bad actors. They are the first org where I went to the trouble of blacklisting the ASN so new ranges get blocked as soon as maxmind updates.

Everything else matches patterns we use. WebPageTest is probably the most hilariously janky application that’s the best at what it does that we use. Standing it up locally so you can test internal stuff is a revolting experience I’ve had several times.

TBH I found kubernetes easier to use than docker compose. Mainly because I saw little reason to learn the syntax when I was already using kubernetes yamls and kubeadm makes it so easy to stand up. What you have looks pretty simple though so I may take another look at it.

You can actually ship images as tarballs and reimport them. That’s what I do on personal stuff instead of standing up an ECR/registry. As long as you version tag your containers it should be fine.

HTTP/2 is pretty much a nonissue for everyone except some janky java clients at this point. We turned it on a couple of years ago with only minimal issues.

All I had to hear was 'libertarian' to put them in the 'wee woo magical market fix' camp.

MongoDB has for years been the premiere example of 'what not to do.'

shrug I’m quoting myself.

This whole thread just makes me glad I refuse to work on bare metal anymore for anything but the most niche of cases.

AWS everything.

No. News at 11. Leno after. You won’t stay up for midnight at the Apollo.

I probably missed all that because the one philosophy teacher I had was an obnoxious douche.

I can see why they would be good at doing IT.

It's certainly an, "Okay, in that case I'm leaving," offense. If your manager gets pissed off about that leave.

IT can pay well but not that well.

"Remaining outcome agnostic." i.e. I'll be fine no matter what happens and no matter your emotional state. Also called "Keeping frame." Not letting other people's shit tests affect you.

Amusingly, these are red pill concepts. I don't follow that belief system (many of it's proponents range between pathetic to downright unhinged) but I did read about it. There were some corn kernels of truth worth picking out of the turd of a viewpoint.

It's bottom heavy because IT in 2019 is a joke. I left as soon as I could for operations and security. Better hours, fewer people, better pay, and I don't have to give a shit about your laptop. If you don't want to pay to keep your operations running properly I present to you the risks, mitigate as possible, and move on to the next item. If I think something is a time bomb I just leave for another company and get more money.

There are no seniors because the seniors leave. That's why you keep seeing groups like Infosys, TATA, or MSPs getting tapped for this service (I would be very leary of working for an MSP unless the package was very appealing). That's why I won't take a position where I have to screw with physical hardware, AWS everything.

TBH I think the airlines kinda fucked themselves on this one.

The whole meme was to make people walk through first class so that they would see what they're missing. Problem is, most people are doing domestic hops and in most cases they just aren't missing that much (I regularly do a 2 hop 40 minute then 1 hour flight that doesn't even finish drink service by the time you're ready to land).

International sure and I'm sure the airlines make sure they make bank on those flights. But if I'm going to take maybe 1 international round trip every couple of years I'm probably not going to spring for first class if I can instead put that money into whatever I'm doing where I'm going.

I'm fine with this if we get medicaid for all. This won't be an issue if all the 1099 workers did't have to take a 30% pay cut (or negotiate for 30% higher wages, I'm ignoring the tax issue of course) to be healthy.

I will never unfreeze Equifax, regardless of what I do with the other credit agencies. I can't prevent them from collecting my information but I can prevent them from profiting off it.

This will go exactly nowhere. I want Cheeto out as much as anyone else but if the democrats put up Warren in 2020 I'm not going to be happy.

They aren’t? China is really good at copying/stealing other people’s ideas. Not coming up with the next big thing.

Cancel the contract and go with... who?

Monopoly positions change the rules, like it or hate it.

Oh I don't doubt someone gave them a little push, he just made it really easy for them.

Yep, and until Congress decides to get with 2019 the feds will continue to have this problem.

So probably forever.

I wouldn't build greenfield in India (I've had to deal with the quality coming out of there on numerous occasions) but I also wouldn't build greenfield in SanFran.

It's less the cost to me and more the turnover. I as a worker have every incentive to take a position in SanFran to get to SanFran and get established (outside of the money). I also then have every incentive to leave as soon as possible for one of the Big 5 since it's gold on my resume (even if I don't stay there more than a year or two).

This is a great example of why the US government can't hire and retain competent security and operations personal that haven't already drunk the Kool-Aid by coming out of the US military.

It's 2019, get over this. The only way you're going to blackmail someone over pot is because you're on about it, not because it's inherently solid blackmail material.
