I'm glad that others are voicing the same issues I'm experiencing. Sometimes I wonder if I'm taking crazy pills.
My solution has been to place an Apple bluetooth keyboard -on top- of my 15" MBP keyboard and that seems to work pretty well, but wow, it shouldn't have come to this...
It appears that the SLA guaranteed uptime for Azure SQL Database is 99.9% or 99.99%, depending on tier. That equates to the following allowable downtime per month (which I think is what they base SLA fulfillment on):
99.9: 43m 49.7s
99.99: 4m 23.0s
Sounds like they need to cough up some money for their four 9s customers...
When is such an awesome company like GitLab going to get serious about compensation and actually fix their calculator for regions outside of SF? I know firsthand that this is preventing many experienced people from even bothering to pursue opportunities there.
For affected IBMers... find a new remote gig!
Impressive lulz in this post. Do you require an outrageous sense of humor as well?
Looks like someone was willing to spend some time on an audit of the original KeePass:

This is the same CYA attitude that I have been assuming the last 2 years because it's such a frequent occurrence.
The only issue is that I still get blamed. I don't know how many times I've repeated this scenario:
1. I highlight gap / issue in code.
2. Team says, "Need to ship; we'll accept the risk"
3. During go-live, fecal matter hits fan because of aforementioned gap in code.
4. Everyone acts surprised.
5. I point out that I mentioned it 2 months ago.
6. Everyone makes excuses / claims they don't remember it that way / moves on to burn down another project.
7. I'm left to clean up a mess / have taken a hit to my reputation.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong...
If drawing the line on what is and isn't harassment is subjective, perhaps they should focus on building better mechanisms for individuals to take filtering / blocking into their own hands? One could argue that Twitter has these features already, but apparently the "privileged class" (celebrities) are incapable of leveraging them?
Looking at tenure in isolation of any other context is meaningless. I've interviewed candidates with multiple 6-12 month positions on their resume that turned out to be great contributors, and other folks with 5-10 year positions that were horrible.
Was hoping for good read on economics, found guy whining about his parents' views.
Usually Massimo's stuff is quite well thought out and practical when it comes to adopting new models in the Enterprise, but this article has a "I'm annoyed by this platform because it doesn't work how I want it to" sentiment throughout. He seems to miss a lot of the potential value that the serverless architecture model brings to the table.
It's pretty well established that Amazon's usual approach is to provide a "toolbox" of services that can used to build any number of app architecture permutations, without all the typical fluff and polish expected by large business customers. I for one, as an engineer, appreciate this model since it's much more accessible and lightweight.
I agree that the lack of an easy, declarative deployment capability is one of Jenkins' biggest flaws and doesn't get near enough attention.
General macroeconomic scare mongering has an upside in that perhaps some fat will be trimmed. Those with a product or service with real value should remain standing.
+1 for GitLab - a platform that actually feels like a hacker's tool. Not to mention they have an open source edition (CE), unlike GitHub -or- BitBucket.
I'm guessing the military isn't affected because they shield their equipment properly? Seems odd that this wouldn't be a standard (even for commercial) in this day and age.
Fascinating stuff for history buffs. There's a great subreddit for this kind of thing, /r/AcademicBiblical, that has similar gems for those interested...
I should probably know this, but can anyone explain to me why other service providers like AWS don't have to release the source code of things like their brand of Xen running EC2 hypervisors?
Does it only apply if you resell / package the source code as a deliverable product? Where is this line drawn between software downloaded as a binary vs. software delivered to you in a hosted fashion with an API or similar (i.e. SaaS)?
Why is this on the front page? This is Hacker News not The View.
I concur - I've tried to like httpie, but always end up going back to curl since its syntax is permanently ingrained in my fingers.
I wonder if the AOL disk is still sitting in his CDROM tray at home.
Everyone is inclined towards adding features; it's just in our nature I suppose. The experienced folks know how to exert discipline in this area so that you aren't working on vaporware.
Eric S. Raymond said it best back in the day: "Release Early, Release Often"

I personally like to say, "Ship and Iterate."
This. My experience has been that the average to poor performers oftentimes stay comfortable at low-expectation companies because they know they will have a difficult time finding a new job.
Previous job longevity is worth next to nothing without talking to the candidate in my opinion.
No UI out of the box (Registry:v2). DTR has a 'health' UI that is pretty worthless since you can't browse images. There are other frontend tools that work with registry:v2 though, such as Portus:
Odd... my sales people keep telling me IoT is going everywhere and that I need it to survive.
