Most Soldiers hate organized Physical Readiness Training, or PRT. They tolerate it. Few enjoy it, and even fewer get anything out of it. I have a 1,600 word draft of an article titled “Army PRT is Garbage” that explains why — and outlines a few ways we could make it better — that will never see the light of day. Public critiques tend to reflect poorly on those who post them. I expect most Soldiers could speak at length on this subject, thou..

Hillel Wayne explains why EMT’s continue to use error-prone paper Patient Care Reports even though they have digital replacements: the software is too slow. “It wasnât even that slow. Something like a quarter-second lag when you opened a dropdown or clicked a button. ... Did that quarter-second lag kill anyone? Was there someone who wouldn’t have died if the ePCR was just a little bit faster, fast enough to be usable? And the people....

The term open source has become a household term in software circles. Most people who work with technology in some capacity know that the Linux operating system is open source, as is the Firefox Web browser and much of the software that runs on their Android phone. However, when it comes to defining open source, most people I’ve talked to aren’t that clear on what it is and how it works, but can often list these three aspects:

Some time ago I talked with a co-worker about his internal project. He was the owner of a product that tried to provide a generalized, hardened and fully codified Jenkins instance. This was done with the help of mostly Puppet and Groovy code. I was in this project for six months to help build the product and learn something there. After three years, one complete rewrite and countless hours put into the product, it was still not finishe....

But also, [redacted] , look at this guy. Look at this photo of a bangladeshi guy holding a small basket of starfruits. Fifty thousand people liked it when he posted it on [a social media website] . This guy, Momtaz his name, titled it “Dragon fruits on my rooftop garden”, and was giving respectful replies to all the comments that followed. Saying he doesn’t sell the starfruits but grows them to give to his friends and family. You know wha....

Recently, I utilized the yum-config-manager program, which is part of the yum-utils package, to add an additional repository into a CentOS box (of course this works with RedHat, too). The process involves installing yum-utils and adding a repository using the yum-config-manager command. Subsequently, a file is dynamically generated in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory with specific content according to the command options one uses. # ins....

I used the term “Big Red Sales Button” in a previous post, and got a question about it. You can see an illustration of that on the right. The Big Red Sales Button (BRSB from now on) is a metaphor used to discuss how sales can impact an organization. It is common for the sales team to run into new customer requirements. Some of them are presented as absolute requirements (they usually aren’t). I have found that the typical response of the ....

Stop trying to hire with titles like ‘DevOps Engineer’ or ‘Cloud Engineer’ “DevOps is … not a job title” “It’s more of a cultural practice, like innovation, and it makes just as little sense hiring “innovation engineers” and expecting your organisation to be innovative, without also creating the culture to foster innovation.” (Joel Shea when responding to this posted on LinkedIn ) In most cases it’s clear the organisation doesn’t trul..

I make a conscious effort to get out of my bubble as much as possible, so when I saw a Jalopnik article proclaiming Vanlife Can Be Cheaper, Weirder, And More Accessible Than Instagram Would Have You Believe , I bit. I’ll give Anna Merlan the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she started with the idea that vanlife could be cheaper, weirder, and more accessible than Instagram might lead you to believe, then set out to prove that by living in a....

I haven’t read Jack Donovan’s work or listened to his podcasts in a while, so I forgot how good some of his stuff is until I re-discovered Violence is Golden this morning. From his article: “A rule not ultimately backed by the threat of violence is merely a suggestion. States rely on laws enforced by men ready to do violence against lawbreakers. Every tax, every code and every licensing requirement demands an escalating prog..

As stated in my announcement post - after 7~ years, I resigned from Infoxchange several months ago. I planned on taking a holiday, relaxing, decompressing, dipping my toes in some off-the-shelf tech I haven’t spent a lot of time with and performing some personal growth through reading a number of books that have been sitting on my ’to read’ shelf. This is exactly what I’ve done. I’m now open to new opportunities I’d rather find a w..

Another great piece from a few years ago, this time by Brendan Leonard at Outside Online in 2017: “You want a shortcut, here’s one: Stop believing that anyone who’s successful at anything has some secret other than focus, drive, and a shitload of hard work. There’s your shortcut.” I love this. Every few weeks, someone stops me in the gym to ask for a shortcut. “Man, that’s an insane deadlift. How did you get it that high?” Others s....

We moved from HLLs stored in HBase to HLLs stored in Postgres with great results. 5-10 minute read What is HyperLogLog (HLL)? HyperLogLog (HLL) is a useful and interesting probabilistic data structure used to count unique values in a given data set with good accuracy and speed. Normally, to count unique values accurately requires memory proportional to the number of unique values. This becomes a problem when working with large data set....

Wes Siler has some advice for those looking to buy an adventure vehicle. I agree with almost everything he says, even if most of it just applies to those who already have one: get good tires, have a tire repair kit and recovery gear, get advanced driver training, pack less, don’t try to force an inadequate car into the role of a much more capable one, and understand the difference between AWD and 4WD — but the rest, not so much. He also sug..
