The power went out at 11:35pm.

That was it.  That was the end.

That day seemed like any other day.  We worked our stupid jobs, stressed about our stupid things, watched our TVs.

I discovered Docker requires Docker File Share of your /User/[user] directory.  This exposes all your personal stuff in there to docker containers.  A malicious package from there could copy all your keys, or anything else.

In ~/.lando/config.yml

More on git workflow! I love to think about this issue for some reason, so I’m always willing to discuss my thoughts about it with others, to understand their needs and refine my own processes/thinking.

Eventually I'll get comments or something running so the 0 people who read my blog can join me talking to myself. ;)

Recently encountered a server with 8.2 million image files, taking an account over quota.

The files were mostly duplicates and the duplicates seem to have been autogenerated somehow over the course of a year.

Needed to confidently remove only duplicate files, leaving one.

There were twin brothers who lived near a forest long ago. Sharing dreams of far off places and adventure. One day while chasing each other in the woods and play fighting with wooden swords, they discovered two wolf pups, weak and languishing at the base of a large oak. There seemed to be no pack around. The brothers determined the wolves would die if left alone and decided to care for them. They took the pups back home and nursed them to health.

Power is directly proportional to your ability to make decisions.

Ergo, power == the capacity to make decisions.

The more power you wield, the bigger the decisions you can make.
The bigger the decisions you’re capable of making, the more power you can wield.

Those two statements are equal.

You don’t get to make decisions for other people, if you haven’t convinced them that you’re capable of making good decisions, in their interest.

This is a rough guide to set up and support a "wunderflow" style branching strategy with code sync to various environments with git. It will show how to create a Pantheon-like multidev experience on any server, using git hooks, as well as how to bypass Pantheon's "serial" code workflow and use a more robust "parallel" workflow. See: Parallel Principle of Git Workflow

Background

I was working for a small web development company that was facing challenges juggling a lot of projects and developers of various skill levels. Platforms like Pantheon were starting to offer hosting options that made it "easy" to manage and test code before releasing it to production. Knowledge of git and version control was low. There was a combination of solo developing and project teams working together.

The robot invasion has truly begun!

With the advancements in AI, Natural Language Processing, Intelligent Personal Assistants (Siri, Cortana, Google Now), and miniaturized computers, we have a very fertile ground for personal robotics.

A while back, Google open sourced Tensor Flow, a "Software Library for Machine Intelligence".  Woo!  Machine learning!

Now they've open sourced SyntaxNet a TensorFlow implementation for neural models of syntax, and a "pre trained" English parser Parsey McParseface.

If only I knew what to do with it all.
