Also don’t forget your locking nut key for those pesky lock nuts
Leaving only those will make for a bigger surprise a few minutes later when they take a corner at speed. Or hit a bump.

Battery powered impact driver plus a deep socket set = you can remove lug nuts or bolts (securing a wheel to a vehicle) in very quick fashion.

You joke, but we learned “tons” and “metric tons” in elementary school.
I assume it’s the reason “metric” is used as an adjective this way.

It seems like the only time I encounter this oddness is when some upstream docker image maintainer has done a weird with users (I once went 3 image levels up to figure out what happened).
Or if I borrow a dockerfile and don’t strip out the “nonroot” user hacks that got popularized years ago.

Märzen is traditionally brewed in March because that’s what märzen means!
But we don’t need to be overly prescriptive, that’s no fun!
I’m mostly just jealous because I didn’t get to it this year.

Oh man, I grew up with those intercoms on the top right.
So weird to see them again.

Just remember that actual profit isn’t important to investors. They’re only here make money on the growth of the investment.
Goddamn parasites.

5B run rate explains the wild 183B valuation better. The calculus is usually a solid return after 3 years and double or better by 5, so they’re being on something like a 500B valuation by 2030.
And they very likely won’t be profitable in the real sense even then.

We should all pitch in and send this person some company born out of a cult flatware.
- Comment on Well, shit. 5 weeks ago:
Yep. Ran a config as code migration on prod instead of dev. We introduced new safeguards for running against prod after that. And changed the expectations for primary on call to do dev work with down time. Shifted to improving ops tooling or making pretty charts from all the metrics. Actually ended up reducing toil substantially over the next couple quarters.
10/10 will absolutely still do something dumb again.

I see. That definitely makes 13B way more sane.

$500 million in run-rate revenue
Absolutely astounding that they can raise $13B on a sixth round of funding on that.
For the less finance jargon savvy, “run-rate revenue” just means projected annual revenue.

- Comment on how to start with self-hosting? 5 weeks ago:
I might recommend starting with a project.
Something like getting pi-hole running. This would help you learn some of the networking basics. But I’d recommend reading at least enough to have a conceptual foundation about the things you don’t understand along the way (DNS, DHCP, etc).
You’ll want one of their supported OS choices to keep things simple. That means one of: fedora, debian, ubuntu, or centos. I might steer you away from centos just because its user base is a bit more linux-pro so finding specific help might be more daunting, but I don’t have much experience with it either. Maybe use a “server” variant to keep your system demand to a minimum (boot to terminal only).
- Comment on Linux Foundation says yes to NoSQL via DocumentDB 1 month ago:
Mongo DB popularized the “document DB” model which is just storing JSON in a database and offering a way to interact with it roughly like you would data in a traditional relational DB.
7ish years ago, they got fed up with the major cloud providers offering their free software as a service and changed their license to one that is more restrictive.
Of course this is sort of the inevitable outcome: a cloud provider builds a competing product and then “open sources” it in a way that will allow them to grab mind share and eventually erode the company that dared to demand compensation for a “free” product.
Microsoft added a middle finger by announcing it just before mongo released quarterly financials too.

Reminds me of the old gas shaver kit my grandpa gave me on my 13th birthday.

I like and understand where you’re going, but I can offer some actual experience. I learned my legal first name at 8.
It didn’t go down well (I cried because the teacher didn’t call my name and sent me to the school office to get it sorted) and I had a weird complex about the real name into high school. There’s no rhyme or reason to the two names, so it is actually sort of surprising to pair the two. To this day I still go by the nickname I thought was my real name. My nieces and nephews still enjoy discovering my real name and calling me by it thinking it’s a big secret they’ve discovered. I still have to explain it a hundred times a year to new coworkers and acquaintances.

Beard beer! Yeah, rogue was definitely playing with things at the time (remember voodoo donut?). Gotta keep in mind this brewer had been brewing in a yeast laden environment for many years.
I feel like I remember reading white labs sampled it and found it was a combo of several of their strains.
