Right, cause Nicotine is "only" a highly addictive, deadly poison.
dogismycopilot··on Ask HN: How Do Your DevOps/Ops Teams Handle OS/Container/App Patching?
Well, let's say that you have 2 physical locations, 10 racks each, and a cloud provider, the OS, the networking equipment, the smart PDUs, the iDRAC and firmware, kernel (reboot), containers, VMware hosts/vsphere, Openshift, a few windows boxes because why not, database, apache, and all the downstream. A "high" CVE has 3 weeks to be fixed.
dogismycopilot··on Ask HN: How Do Your DevOps/Ops Teams Handle OS/Container/App Patching?
How do your teams minimize the amount of time spent patching? It is an enormous time sink for our devops teams, even using industry-standard open source software basically everywhere.

Filestore is also really expensive for what is basically just NFS.
dogismycopilot··on Senior Developers Are Getting Rejected for Jobs
I would take a look at all the jobs on our board in Broomfield, CO. Not all are Java or Full stack. We write the job descriptions for ideal candidates, but we are specifically looking for Sr/Principal level engineers, and will pay accordingly (10-15 years experience).
dogismycopilot··on Senior Developers Are Getting Rejected for Jobs
It's certainly not bad. The stock is fantastic, my annual bonus can be over 20%. So, with healthcare, unlimited PTO, an onsite gym and cafeteria, etc, it's not a bad deal at all.

Yes, the housing in the immediate area is expensive (Boulder County, CO), but there are many more affordable places to live within commuting distance.

dogismycopilot··on Senior Developers Are Getting Rejected for Jobs
We're hiring for around 17 Senior or Principal level software engineers, and we don't have any stupid tests. We are Rally Software, in Broomfield, CO. Now we're owned by Broadcom.

dogismycopilot··on America’s Oldest Gun Maker Went Bankrupt: A Financial Engineering Mystery
The average American gun owner has between 5 and 6 firearms. I just took the class.
dogismycopilot··on America’s Oldest Gun Maker Went Bankrupt: A Financial Engineering Mystery
Revolvers are absolutely more popular in areas where ammunition capacity is restricted. 7 round .357 is a great option in areas where there is a 10 round max for magazines.

Places out east (NY, NJ) have extremely low limits for capacity, both in effect and proposed. When ammunition capacity is reduced, there is an incentive to go for a (typically) more reliable revolver. Many people would rather have say a 7-shot 357 S&W wheelgun vs a 9-round (maximum) semi-auto magazine.

I ankle-carried a .357 snub for most of my life, and it literally weighed less than the 5 rounds that it held.

When was the last time that you went to DEFCON?
dogismycopilot··on Blockchain could save investment banks up to $12B a year: Accenture
I worked for Accenture for a very short time, and I will say that they have no idea what they are talking about, regardless of what it is.

Somehow, I just found a charge for $3500 from Accenture on my credit report. It HAS to be from when I worked there. They either took back a bonus or thought that they paid me too much I guess. It's been years, I have never heard anything about it, and now my credit took a hit. Worst job/company ever would be an understatement. I quit in record time (<60 days).

dogismycopilot··on Flat Pack Chainless Bicycle from IKEA
If the machine doesn't have very many miles on it, it doesn't need a new chain unless it's terribly corroded or somehow damaged. If you get a new chain on a low-mileage bike, you will not need to replace the cassette/freewheel as well. If it's something with some miles on it, best bet is just to go for the whole drivetrain at once (chain rings, cassette, chain). I also used to be a bike mechanic. It's crazy to see the electronic shifting on high-end road rigs. Impressive, but crazy.
dogismycopilot··on Consumer Reports Now Recommends MacBook Pros -
The thing is, I would actually tolerate a larger body/battery if it would realistically get me 9 hours. I know that it's not sexy, and Apple needs to retain its image.

I would think that laptops with insane battery lives would be desirable, particularly in the business/enterprise/travel markets. Maybe not.

dogismycopilot··on The Number of Older Student Loan Borrowers Is Rising
"Some older borrowers are carrying their own student loans, but most have education debt taken out on behalf of their children or grandchildren, either by borrowing the money themselves or co-signing loans with the student as the main borrower, the report found."

Above is straight off of his website. Looks like the OLDER MBP has more builds/more battery, which is what he was saying. Your table looks completely wrong, but I understand that he had some errors on the original site. The comments in the article claim that the above is correct.

yes.

"The thing is produce is a commodity, not a branded good, and people ultimately don't care what "label" is on their vegetables and won't pay a premium for a given label when they can get reasonable analogs for the same or a lesser price. Consumers just want quality produce at a reasonable price."

Have you ever been to a Whole Foods or Sprouts store?

I, for one, do not want the police coming to "shouting". Talk about a nanny state.

dogismycopilot··on The GitHub Load Balancer
I would love to see the solution. We're also desiring to run HAProxy in Azure with keepalived (even in unicast mode). The black-box "windows based" load balancer that Azure offers is quite limited.
