I only need a basic 1.0 reading prescription but I have about 5 pairs of glasses. I'm hyper-sensitive to even the slightest deviation in prescription.

Currently wearing, to look at arms-length monitor screen, add +1.0. Will move out to the porch to read and switch to add +1.5. Will come back to cook and switch to my basic prescription.

I must put on and take off 300 pairs of glasses a day. But I don't care. I can't do anything else.

Arguably, IIS is more advanced than typical Linux hosting services, where the standard for decades has been "stop and restart the service" for configuration changes, causing a temporary outage. I'm sure that's improved over time (has it?), but IIS had continuous operation modes since at least the year 2000. Historically my experience with Linux web deployment has also been "copy in a bunch of files", so I don't see how it's any better or worse! (Docker support is available for both as well.)

Some random IIS capabilities include:

- You can edit any part of the IIS configuration live, and this won't require a service restart. You can even edit .NET application code and configuration files live, and changes can take effect non-disruptively even if a process restart is required for the virtual app. IIS will buffer requests and overlap the new process with the old one. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/iis/6.0-...

- Web Deploy is basically just a zip file of a web application that can be produced by Visual Studio, vaguely similar to packaging up a site and its config with Docker: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy

- Visual Studio integrates directly with IIS using "publish" settings that can target an IIS server and be used to deploy a complete web app with a button-press from the IDE: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/deployment/tu...

- The volume shadow service can be utilised by IIS to create backups of its entire configuration including all files on a schedule: https://usavps.com/blog/13597/

- Shared configuration allows scale-out web farms to be created. The key IIS config files and web content are moved to a UNC file share and then the workers just "point" at this. With an external load balancer that supports traffic draining this allows for seamless OS reboots, upgrades, etc... There's even a trick where SMB Caching is used to automatically and transparently create a local disk cache of the shared content, allowing IOPS to scale with web farm server instances without any manual deploy or sync operations. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/web-hosting/configurin...

- The above goes hand-in-hand with Centralized SSL Certificate Support: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/get-started/whats-new-...

If you want to use container technology on Windows for web apps, you can do that too. Windows Server supports Windows Containers, and ASP.NET Core has excellent support with a whole bunch of pre-prepared base container images for both Windows and Linux hosts.

If you have many such sites on a Windows web host, you would use the IIS Application Request Routing reverse proxy to add HTTPS to back-end containers running on HTTP. That, or just use Azure App Service, or YARP, or...

Personally, if I had to run a large-scale IIS web farm again, I would keep things simple and just use the Azure DevOps agent with the IISWebAppDeploymentOnMachineGroup task: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tas...

I am talking about international politics and you are talking about domestic politics. (Even with domestic politics, the political institutions of America are quite robust, and can withstand an assault on it. Not saying it won't hurt, but no long-term damage that can't be easily addressed is going to happen in America.)
It’s the root of the toxic nature of American culture. We worship the “freedom” to have bad outcomes shoved in our faces, but castigate and actively harm anyone who falls afoul as a result.

From my limited travels in Europe, I see countries with problems, but with people who appear to be happier and healthier.

Nothing is going to happen that's gonna cause any long-term political damage to the alliance.

The most noticeable difference back then (before JS and before CSS) was that browsers displayed very visibly the destination of links, while input buttons were totally opaque. We created buttons with images inside an a href tag to make styled (in photoshop) buttons that behaved like links and generated a GET request. We could add a query string. The only way to make a POST request was a button inside a form.

Pedantic, but they are top of the market in neither since Switzerland is not in the EU, and definitely not in the UK.

UZH (Uni Zurich) has salaries of 50K CHF per year for PhD candidates (with increments every year) -- that's almost 60K USD by your fourth year. This is also true for other universities. And while Zürich is expensive, it is not _that_ expensive.

This is a common misconception, so much so that whiners about anime pics is a common occurrence on 4chan. 4chan is a board primarily for anime fans and thus for example it's normal and acceptable for there to be anime related posts in all of the boards, while it's not acceptable for other topics to bleed out of their own boards.

4chan dates back from a time where you'd have, say, forums for people who like X, and that forum might also have off-topic boards for stuff like food, travel, politics, and other off-topic discussion. While there are people who are interested in specific topics in said boards, everyone on the site across all boards are expected to like X.

As 4chan is wide open and due to the existence of /b/, there is thus a constant flow of people who aren't anime fans whinging about anime in the non-anime boards, who are generally ignored or rebuked.

I haven't been a regular visitor for some years, so some cultural loss might be expected, but certainly at the time that this happened, 4chan was still solidly an anime community.

Here are a few examples (which also demonstrate that while it's hard to define 4chan users in any way simply because it's an undefined set of random people that might visit and leave at any time, the only commonality would that most (not all; the so-call "redditors"/"tourists") are anime fans:

> peddle anti Russia propaganda

Not sure what you are trying to say. Just reporting straight facts with no embellishment is more than enough to 100% discredit the Russian government (both domestically and internationally) in the eyes of any at least marginally sane person. The fact that this isn’t working says more about the people consuming that information than those doing the “peddling”.

You are trying to push this stupid narrative that “both sides are bad so nothing means anything” which is just silly..
Toxic indeed. It's douchebaggery, from its name to its CEO. They ripped off benefactors to their "non-profit," and kept the fraudulent "open" in the company name.
Probably the only improvements I can think is running the runner as a gMSA and applying the relevant ACL's to that, so you can avoid needing to supply creds.

Otherwise, on our fleet of hundreds of IIS, we've had success just pointing IIS to a hardlink, deploying the new version to a new folder and updating the hardlink - from memory this does trigger an app pool restart but its super fast, lets you go back and forth very easily.

Germany will absolutely not have its own nuclear weapons in 10 years (there are already US nukes stationed in Germany, so foreign ones aren't a change in status quo).

Even for a highly industrialized nation, developing nukes is a big project, and all of the upcoming defense spending in the next few years will go to Ukraine and closing some of the gaping holes in conventional forces.

Besides, Germany still has deep-seated qualms about weapons and armed forces; while this is slowly eroding, I don't see it going as far as nuclear armament.

I find it more likely that Poland will possess nukes in ten years; they're geographically closer to Russia, spend more on defense and have more political will.

This article is NOT good advice and should be completely disregarded by any serious sysadmins.

You absolutely should not remote into the web server box from the agent box! This goes entirely against the grain of how modern Azure DevOps pipelines deployments are designed to work... hence the security issue that the hapless blogger is trying to unnecessarily solve.

The correct approach is to install the DevOps Agent directly onto the IIS web hosts, linking them to a named Environment such as "Production Web App Farm A" or whatever. See: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/pro...

In your pipelines, you can now utilise Deployment Jobs linked to that named environment: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/pro...

Deployment jobs have all sorts of fancy built-in capabilities such as pre-deployment tasks, rolling and canary strategies, post-deployment tasks, health checks, etc...

They're designed to dynamically pick up the current "pool" of VMs linked to the environment through the agents, so you don't need to inject machine names via pipeline parameters. Especially when you have many apps on a shared pool of servers, this cuts down on meaningless boilerplate.

All of the above works even with annoying requirements such as third-party applications where active-passive mode must be used for licensing reasons. (I'm looking at you ESRI and your overpriced software). The trick is to 'tag' the agents during setup, which can then be used later in pipelines to filter "active" versus "passive" nodes.

A man who destroyed skepticism
I liked the article, but the idea that a company selling its own stock has no cost (typing zeros into a spreadsheet) is wrong. You create more of something, you reduce value per unit, that's supply and demand.

I also didn't understand the focus of the article on privacy. How established is that the difference between American and German users is due to legacy protection? There's differences in the two countries other than privacy. For example people in Germany are a lot less driven by consumption, making them less valuable for advertisers.

EDIT ok so in a sense you good argue it has no cost for the company, but it definitely has a cost to the shareholders.
