I don't love YAML, but for configurations I always choose it for the simple fact that it supports comments. Comments for json are almost always hacky (for example, imbedding a comment key inside the value).

The article doesn't specify whether or not the encryption was "broken", or whether Cohen is simply cooperating. My hunch tells me it's the latter.

> Google can practically destroy any company/person in any vertical if it so chose.

Yet they don't. So either they're not as scary as "Microsoft was even at its peak", or maybe they're not as powerful as you make them out to be.

Exactly. This makes so much sense for the city. This type of calculation doesn’t even include a fuzzy bump in technological growth for a city that’s connected with cheap fiber.

This is the case in many, many major cities. When discussing this type of rollout, it’s almost always talking about last-mile, which is the most expensive to rollout and maintain.

That’s a distinction the average person wouldn’t make.

    rm /bin/sh
    ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh

What the heck? Installing this package wipes your sh and replaces it with bash?

> Microsoft didn't even ask their customers for permission. They just automatically switched anyone who installed IE7 to Bing as the default.

Don’t worry everyone it’s different now!

Based on the picture, "pulling it up" looks like a fairly intensive task, requiring boats, persons, etc.

That kind of thing eats directly into the ROI for a datacenter. I doubt it competes with a static building with a bunch of solar panels on top.

Ugh I read your job post months ago and I’m so interested in what you’re doing. I’m not aligned in any of the skills, just really interested about the actual work. What can you share?

Interesting idea. My hunch tells me that they’re underestimating the corrosive nature of salt water. I also wonder about vibrations, which are much more pronounced underwater.

But I guess we won’t know until we try!

So they don’t do anything? Eventually you’re just maintaining stacks of errored and broken computers.

For a laptop? Even my heavy usage is ephemeral workloads.

I care so much more that the dang thing works reliably without fussing or fiddling, which can not be said about 99% of laptops on the market.

But you can’t live in your other investments.

How many web apps can you name that don’t rely on any external gems? Packaging that mess is a pain in every scripting language.
