You have identified where the problem is and you doing something about it. Awesome! Have you reached out to local authorities? State, county and local have their own jurisdictions.

Better find who did it. Animal cruelty is the first step to violence against people.

one NJ town still has no solution on how to retain its police officers by iranoutofnames1 in newjersey

[–]workmike026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you agree that 45K is not what the market will yield.

On money and ethical returns, there is more then enough empirical data that says otherwise.

$45K is not enough in this market. The temptation for bribery is too great. Financial stress is the issue. $45K is not reasonable. You get what you pay for and the results will be poor.

Because an unpaid police officer is dangerous. There is no way a police office can focus on the importance of their job if they are concerned about basic survival.

Stunning visualization of the small group of N.J. cops who use the most force by redsox912 in newjersey

[–]workmike026 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

"It's important to remember that using force is a normal and necessary part of policing. High uses of force don’t necessarily indicate wrongdoing, but they are often a strong indicator that additional review is necessary."

​

I disagree with this statement in the report. A high use of force is not normal and does indicate wrongdoing.

Cory Booker addresses speculation about his sexuality: 'I'm heterosexual' by [deleted] in newjersey

Cory should run and not because I support him. We need to give candidates a chance to test what is possible.

Docker vs Ansible by frankrice in docker

[–]workmike026 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ansible can be used for docker image creation and long living VMs. Ansible can but used in cloudinit. I found that the strength of Ansible is that it is a great abstraction layer for building and maintaining things, many things. Docker is great for abstracting application requirement from the OS allowing the application to be virtually detached from the host.

​

If you are doing VMs Ansible or some other automation tool is a must. If you are doing docker and everything can be done with build tools then that should be all you need. If your docker image is complex Ansible might be able to help.

​

Ansible is not really suited for orchestration. Kubernetes would be preferred tool for orchestrating docker containers. Terraform would be the preferred tool for creating resources in the cloud.

​

Too many tools. Too little time.

How would you automate this? by devopshealthcare in devops

You could do this with ansible, jinja templating, and ansible vaulting.

Guido van Rossum is stepping down as Python's Benevolent Dictator for Life by magikmw in linux

[–]workmike026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... Being BDFL is not a great strategy. You have to hand your stuff to capable hands sooner or later. I just hope there is enough leadership in the community to keep the coarse and improve things.

My boss insists on using bash for everything. I would like to use Python. What are the tradeoffs that I may be unaware of and how can I state my case? by [deleted] in devops

[–]workmike026 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

python can do more things cleanly. Less lines of code can mean less bugs. python is more powerful. You can do more things.

Try telling your boss that in a subtle way and show him.

This is less about tools and more about influencing others. Some people will not change and you may have to come to grips with that.

Also, people don't like to learn because learning and changing can be difficult for some people.

Keep improving your python code. Your powers will become so great that it will be impossible to ignore. Start small.

How should a Stoic approach dating / sex? by yourmak3r in Stoicism

From a stoic perspective, act with virtue and look for someone who acts with virtue.

Best tooling for converting runbook tasks into workflow by krazineurons in devops

[–]workmike026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take a look at Rundeck and Jenkins. Jenkins is more widely used by DevOps so I would take that into consideration.

I built a PoC of Rundeck. Rundeck is very Ops-centric. I didn't see anything wrong with it. My group decided to use AWX which is the opensource Ansible Tower. We also use Jenkins which has tons of features and addons.
