Most importantly -- Happy birthday!!!
I think I can do both? Especially because I have no choice but to boycott or risk killing my kid? But also, YOU should boycott too, why are you eating food with crap in it?
When companies install a handicap ramp in their business, it also incurs a cost. I don't blame the bread companies for their choice, and I'm in the minority now left with no choice but to boycott, and that's fine, their finance team likely said my dollars don't impact their bottomline, and they're likely correct.

I also understand that a handicap ramp is likely considerably cheaper than retrofitting a manufacturing facility or building new sesame free facilities. It really would have been nice to see an investment from my taxes to lower the cost of this burden to enable new products. Obviously, that isn't going to happen.

My point of also posting was to let you know that you're now also being exposed to sesame flour, kinda without your consent, because they value capital over quality, and that's also their choice, and a choice you're also now participating in.

As a father of a 9 mo old with a sesame allergy found out the hard way with a trip to the ER... not only are we making our own bread now because of this, but also, so should you! Store bread has so much unnecessary crap in it, idk why we didn't do this sooner. It's a bummer that we basically can't eat anyone's baked goods outside of the house now, but hey, I guess the market decided I should keep my money and invest in my family, while the rest of you should enjoy the completely unnecessary calories, exposure, and expense of sesame flour.

Also, as far as I can tell, most involved in this sucks, FDA for demanding regulation without investment, lobbyists for supplying a crap solution, and manufactures for not rising above it and rarely caring about the quality of their products.

My recommendation is to boycott store bakery isles in general, invest in $BVILF, and use your kitchen to make friends with your neighbors and get everyone you know making bread/baked goods at home. It absolutely takes privilege to follow this journey, but pay it forward with the bread you can make at home with simple ingredients.

Seems like season 3 of white lotus and Cristobal Tapia de Veer should work these blobs into the opening of the show.

https://aws.amazon.com/controltower/

If we all started using Control Tower perhaps they'd get funded enough to continue to build it out and make it awesome.

Because it primarily wasn't built for developers. It was built to keep sys admins relevant and give vendors a common place to sell their vaporware.

Go check out docker-machine, but a fork: https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker_machine.html...

Because Docker stopped maintaining it.

Re:Will Nix Overtake Docker? on Monday November 29, 2021 @10:04PM (#29388446)
Except that multi-stage builds are deceptively not grabbing or blending layers - it's simply letting you copy files from a layer.

And that is a big miss. Being able to describe "now append this layer and all, but only, its file changes from this previous layer" would be pretty epic.

Re:Running Nomad for a Home Server on Monday February 15, 2021 @08:38AM (#26142601)
Nomad's support for CNI and CSI is improving with just about every release, and they just proved you can run over 2 million containers in a globally distributed cluster.

So what's an example of "enterprise" and "complex" problems you think it can't do?

Re:DigitalOcean VPC on Tuesday April 28, 2020 @09:08PM (#23014136)
Not being able to reassign, delete, or change the cidr of the default VPC is going to be a problem for most folks. Looking forward to the next release where this is fixed, and the fact that we have day 1 support for Terraform is awesome!
Does anyone know anything about the history of Java's Keytool/Ketstore?

I've always been curious as to why this pattern was adopted, because it seems to be unique to Java, and I don't know why.

Obviously this is cost prohibited, and not collaborative - but historically I've used an iPad, QuickTime to capture the screen of the iPad, and then share the screen of my laptop.
