Thanks for this great post. I'm an organizer of a local DevOpsDays conference with a very similar attendance goal and actual (300 planned, 130 final attendance including speakers, sponsors, organizers). We were touch and go for a while as to whether we'd put it on. Ultimately there were enough commitments to vendors that it was cheaper to put it on at a loss than to back out. Fortunately we had some pre-covid buffer money that kept us from being in real trouble.

All that to say, the conference was a fantastic time, even with the fewer people. We went in with the expectations of a much more intimate event than pre-covid, and we were totally energized and ready to kick it off next year. None of the people there complained about the groups being too small. The conversations that happened were the right ones; the people that had them were the right people.

Because a centrifuge requires a tremendous amount of energy and equipment (relative to a space station)

It won't show up with a normal `iptables -L`

A third point is that "turn off your phone" is incredibly dismissive. A person shouldn't have to live without the Internet due to the actions of one, two, or twenty individuals.

Not seeing that option on my 6p.

Interesting. I feel like there is no way Uber would be on the brink of bankruptcy and not be able to fundamentally change the problems that have persisted so far.

I guess what I'm getting at is that a company valued at 69 billion dollars going out of business in less than 2 years should be a surprise to everyone.

Your proposed situation is exactly why regulations are needed; there are very strong incentives to do things incredibly anti-consumer, and regulation is in many ways the only defense. It's generally not possible to find a new ISP, and even if I could find an ISP that didn't do this, they would be competing with the many that do.

This is more common in dry climates where shoes don't get as dirty/muddy. Notably, this describes California, where most TV shows and Movies are produced. It's not as widespread as it would seem from American media.

I was positive it was going to be Ruby when they were leading up to the announcement. But that said, there are a lot of .NET devs, so it makes sense.

Aren't there security concerns using gzip and HTTPS? Could this be a space efficient alternative when gzip is disabled?

It's at least as relevant as the "Electrn v0.0.5-rc finally released!" style posts that seem to accompany every random web framework version release.

Is this a different product than http://gauntlt.org ?

Definitely the possibility for brand confusion on security software tools. Something to consider before you go live.

Please refrain from starting and continuing "comment chains". It's not funny and doesn't add to the conversation.

In some parts of America, if the taxes for the property go unpaid for long enough, an interested party can start paying taxes and improve the property to gain legal ownership. This is effectively a formal method of squatting called "adverse possession".

Please, don't let this site turn into reddit. Comments like this add no value to the discussion.

The problem with this is that it's really hard to get a user to click a button they don't have to. Additionally, many people already give low weight to reviews that are strictly 5 star ratings, so encouraging more of them probably won't help people determine how good a product really is.

Personally, I prefer 120, but I realize it is a preference. That said, I am irritated beyond belief when there is a project mandate that all code be 80 characters and no more. Pretty much everyone has a widescreen monitor these days, and the 80 character limit is a relic from the 4x3 monitor days.

Beyond that, I feel like a character limit that low puts a disincentive on the creation of meaningful variable names and function names. Maybe it's a hold-over from my Java days, but I really strive to name my functions and methods something meaningful. When I'm limited to 80 characters, plus proper tabbing, plus general flow control... it becomes incredibly difficult to stay under 80.

I would call it an Ad more than a Spoof.

The impetus of this discussion is that pharma companies are buying rights to drugs. So it seems that, no, they don't need to research and create the drugs to market them.

But that's only in EE, right?

As an addendum to that, I was able to get a basic Gitlab up and running with Docker in a very short order on Windows. Might be worth recommending: https://github.com/sameersbn/docker-gitlab

Hah! I saw this post and the first thing I thought was to integrate it with GitLab. You guys make an amazing product that really makes the "behind a corporate firewall" world bearable. Thanks for the fantastic work!

I've been trying to convince my wife's family that I don't want birthday or Christmas presents for years. No such luck... I end up having to put a bunch of useless crap on my amazon wishlist just to keep them happy.
