My employer fits your first criteria precisely. Turbo and Stimulus provide exactly as much interactivity as we need. The appearance is that we're trying to avoid Javascript. The reality is that we are (successfully)…
I freely admit that I pulled numbers out of a hat, just to help me visualize the problem.
I was curious and did some math. A five minute zoom call is not realistic; you probably need 15 minutes per person. If my math is correct, and if no one was even a minute late, it would take 225 hours to lay those…
I recommend Godot ( https://godotengine.org/ ). It solves many of the problems you suggested.
You and (other person) started your lives on different dates, in different places, in unique circumstances; you are statistically unlikely to end those lives at the same time and place. If the two of you appear to be…
Apt sidesteps this problem because Debian-based releases are not rolling releases. Unless you install a custom PPA, if you are running Ubuntu 18.04 and you "apt-get install postgres" you will always get version 10.x.…
That is my preferred solution and I think it works great. I have persuaded a couple of coworkers to switch, but only a couple so far. Containerized Postgres is a real win, but running OpenLDAP (+ custom schema) as a…
There is one single feature of homebrew that regularly bites my coworkers. You can refer to software by name@version ("brew install postgresql@11" or "brew install postgresql@12") and there is no confusion about what…
https://github.com/The-Complete-Guide-to-Rails-Performance I learned quite a bit about ruby memory mgmt from the above. Free text, pay for video tutorials IIRC. The course was authored by Nate Berkopec.…
Just adding to the choir. This is a great tool. I prefer using open source software when possible, but I also like to pay for the tools that makes my job easier. The developer is aiming at corporate, volume licensing…
I won't presume to answer for the OP, but my (remote conference attendance) pet peeves include: I have printed out important information (but forgotten to email it); let me use the whiteboard that is mounted on the same…
Almost thirty years ago now, driving around on a hot summer day with a couple of friends. One guy puts a punk mix tape in the player, and the guy with a college music scholarship was aesthetically offended. "Anyone…
Interesting experiment, but two groups seems like a too small a sample. If moderation is done by humans, you could simply prove that one moderator had a worse morning than the other, or that through luck of the draw…
Consider Sendmail as a cautionary tale. One more than one occasion I have seen a busy sysadmin manually edit a .cf file and forget to backport the edit to the .mc file. The next time someone regenerates the .cf from the…
Please forgive me if I'm misinterpreting you, but the lament you make about open source software seems to me to be more about distributed systems. It is an interesting observation, and now that you've pointed it out I…
Oh man, now you've triggered my OCD and I feel pedantic. https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/
In the early 2000s, the Zope community felt that Zope 2.x had grown long in the tooth, so they decided to create a new, modern code base that they called "Zope 3," initially released in 2004. Zope 3 was not backward…
Are you making the Nagios host pull (via NRPE) or are you asking the individual hosts to push (via NSCA)? I am trying to solve a similar problem. Given a dynamic population of hosts, each of which has a variable life…
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world…
The use of [Debatably Volatile Term] (hereafter DVT) is poor branding for a project or product, unless the cultural baggage associated with DVT aligns with the purpose of the project/product. Assume that DVT has…
Very interesting. Thanks!
I downloaded the 10.0-RC3 ISO and spent the day spinning up multiple vm images using Vmware Fusion. My primary goal was a tour of different desktop environments, but I decided to create and build out a separate VM for…
Your memory is correct. http://www.caucho.com/resin-web-server/ http://www.caucho.com/resin-application-server-2/
If all you see are reports about people's rates going up, then you are in a filter bubble - just like everyone else who consumes a majority of their news through personalized online sources. There are people in…
This past weekend I installed KDE 4.10 on a FreeBSD 9.2 vm using the new "pkgng" tools. Completely painless. KDE 4.10 is very polished.
