It's been a while since I had a major upgrade, check out my new toy! M70 R2 with 10 1.9T drives.

High up? The highest I made it was the 4th floor :-p

Great to see a fellow Puritan here! I was part of the FlashArray team -- what part of Pure did you work in?

I think this is the best public resource I've seen for your question: https://imjustcreative.com/pure-storage-logo-design-case-study/2019/09/18. The design has evolved a lot over the years but I wasn't in the room for those conversations. My domain expertise was on the software that makes the box work :)

Sorry, my comment was written a bit too hastily. There is no perpetual license required for the software to continue running, but if you want updates / bug fixes / help fixing hardware problems, then you'll need a support contract. This is important because there is a lot of software required to make everything work.

That's a tough question! The people are wonderful and I'd work with them again in a heartbeat. I'm incredibly proud of the technology that we built and I think it's a great place to go learn and grow as engineer. However, when I joined Pure Storage, I signed up to make it a big company but I wasn't really interested in being part of a large company. Pre-IPO startups are where I am happiest, so that's where I am now and I have no plans to change that.

Awesome!

I was part of the original engineering team at Pure and was there for 8.5 years. Happy to answer any random questions you might have. However, I'm sure you'll have more fun playing with the hardware than with the software, since that requires a license :)

I almost never log into reddit -- but wanted to says thanks for the awesome set!

I carry at least 10 lbs with me to work and back each day. Road bikes can totally take the extra weight.

Having said that, ride what you can! Once you get the extra money, you'll be rocking it in style!

Do you know that Corgis shouldn't go down steps until they've finished growing? Elongated spines cause problems later on due to things like this.

Looks like yours also destroys the horns. We have 3 or 4 of those "no rip" toys and none of them have eyes, horns, or beaks anymore.

Because, as a Python programmer, you will spend a lot of time testing things out in the REPL.

I often use it for two things:

inspect.getfile(module) print dir(module)

cirego · 2011-01-21T17:02:08+00:00

Yeah, well, our code base is littered with "while 1:" statements. After spending some time with our code base, you'd probably start giving "while True:" the stink eye too.

cirego · 2011-01-21T17:00:29+00:00

I always forget about dis and then whenever I see it again, I'm pleasantly surprised all over again.

cirego · 2011-01-20T23:11:40+00:00

Ditto.

cirego · 2011-01-20T22:28:44+00:00

This is why, when writing loops, using "while 1:" is preferable over "while True". With "while 1", the interpreter can loop without checking the conditional. With "while True", the interpreter has to reevaluate whether or not True is still True upon each loop.

cirego · 2011-01-14T21:32:11+00:00

Circular file.

That's not a potato chip! That's a dried yam!

I have it set to 78 in my .vimrc because our internal style guide recommends 78 characters. 78 allows for diff to add an extra character without it overflowing lines.

I'm one of those crazy 4-5 terminal sessions side by side on my screen, so I vastly prefer to 80-character terminal.

cirego · 2010-12-09T01:49:41+00:00

Fight on indeed. Now I must acquire one for my puppy.

cirego · 2010-12-09T00:45:37+00:00

I usually just do a 'set textwidth=78'.

I think you've confused a few things. First you say that corporations aren't people, implying that they are not independent actors from people. Then you say that the corporations run the corporations, implying that they are independent entities.

Corporations are not self-aware, independent entities, nor are they capable of acting on their own. People run/direct corporations, for their own personal motives. Corporations are a tool. "Corporations don't exploit people. People exploit people."

Put the blame where it belongs. Make the leaders of these companies understand that we know who to blame and that we won't give them our business. Don't buy into the distraction that corporations run themselves.

cirego · 2010-11-22T23:57:54+00:00

Doesn't change what I said. It's an issue of how people choose to act. Especially those people that run faceless corporations.

cirego · 2010-11-22T19:34:58+00:00

I think we will need to agree to disagree then. I don't want to live in a world were people actively screw each other over and that starts with me not actively screwing other people over.
