They also added too many sports recently in both summer and winter Games in order to drive tv viewing numbers up. That's diluted the quality, think the skateboard competition in the last summer games.

Wish I could upvote this comment more than once, this was the key takeaway after working in a business where software was a cost center 10+ years ago. I have always made this a rule for all my following jobs.

New comment by julnepht in "On Ansible"

julnepht — Fri, 13 Sep 2013 12:54:00 +0000

That is the feeling I get from Ansible, its seems easier to get up and running but I wonder if it is more powerful than Puppet as you expand beyond the initial phase. I have been implementing Puppet at work and the ramp up was hardeous but I am now at a state where I can do powerful things with Puppet(ENC, Hiera, Dashboard).

While reading the story of this man that cures his cancer without resorting to modern medecine is endearing. I cannot stop thinking about Steve Jobs that tried to cure himself of cancer without modern medicine and of the fatal consequences of his actions.

I bet there are thousands of people that want the voting scores on comments in HN to come back but that wont bring them back. Designing software is not a popularity contest. “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” - Henry Ford

My biggest takeway from this email is to write short paragraph s when writing a long email. Seems pretty simple but I had never thought about this. Write 2-3 lines per paragraph.
