Which is why they need a book.
Is this so hard to understand? They're in over their heads and they need a hand.
The network is part of the system.
SAs had better understand networking, I don't expect/demand Cisco certs, but basic understanding of networking is a requirement of the job.
I deal with systems administrators of large corporations on a daily basis, there are lots of really excellent administrators who really know their stuff and frequently teach me something when we interact.
However, and unfortunately, there is also a significant group who don't know TCP from UDP (etc.). This is the group this book is for.
As someone who read the first book when it came out 19 years ago, (and most of the subsequent ones... I eventually gave up) I have trouble sitting through more than a single episode.
However, I'm told that the problem I have with the books declining quality was significantly less of an issue with the series.
.. they'r.e not becoming acidic, they're becoming less alkaline and are slowly heading towards neutral.
Perhaps they've changed things in the 20+ years since I took my last chemistry class, but "becoming less alkaline" is pretty much the definition of "becoming more acidic".
[......] just can't get the hang of that awful, awful Mac wrapper around the supposedly Linux core.
There's no Linux core to OSX - it's some type of BSD. But i agree, OSX is horrible, like Ubuntu's Unity.
That old misunderstanding will never go away.
OK fine, Q&A website nazis. Happy?
The point is that there are plenty of pickle-up-the-ass power tripping assholes on stack overflow who quash useful questions and answers (aka discussions) just to flex their authoritative muscle and prove their superiority in their own minds.
There appear to be two significant groups of contributors, those who are genuinely there just to help out and the power trippers. I feel kind of sad for the power trippers.
There's a semantic gap between "secular democracy" and "not quite as fucked as Turkey".
Mature technologies are proven. They've gone through their growing-pains. They may have limitations, but those limitations and workarounds are usually well known by seasoned professionals. There's a reason why COBOL, Fortran, and RPG are still in use in business applications almost sixty years after their initial development, because they reliably work.
I've tried to work with NodeJS projects for production. It's a nightmare. NodeJS itself is revised too often, the actual project is revised too often, and the dependencies became a nightmare. It's not mature enough and not worth it.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I thought you'd find it funny to know that IBM is now building products with NodeJS. (And other even more exotic bleeding edge stuff...)
She's a lawyer.
I can neither confirm nor deny, that I may, or may not have never won an argument.
It would be far more effective to carry thousands of boring landscape photos.
I'd like to see a high US official pass through customs and watch a random rent-a-cop get his password and copy all his files. Right, like this is gonna happen.
If it's international travel then they should be travelling on a diplomatic passport. (Which my ex-wife does all the time...)
I guess I need more coffee, I can't tell if you're joking, trolling or stupid.
If it was a joke you really need to work on that.
I'm shocked!
It was a warning about 1948, the original title.
The Tao is like a glob pattern: used but never used up. It is like the extern void: filled with infinite possibilities.
