I really like the one Natalie Dormer has.

Barring that, Irish for sure. They don’t speak words so much as let them onto the wind to go play.

But the pocket layout is a little stupid. Anything wider than it is tall is just a failure.

All hardware people buy smart locks because they know locks are super easy breakable and pickable.

All software people buy keys, since they know software has bugs and you can get in easily.

My bro bought my mom a smart lock. It has a bypass key. Worst of both worlds?

We’re still suffering from the skills lack after we fired our mentors and documentors after Y2K. We’ve been 20 years without proper mentorship already, and now the last of the mentors will leave the market to the lost boys.

That’s neat how that’s been a standard feature of enterprise Linux for 20 years. They call them alt-packages and, even before a succession of environment juggling and subversion swapping, they worked really well.

(Still do, except all the people who knew how to figure dependencies have left RH. I’m looking at you, Ansible who will soon need containers for even client install)

Based on how often it happens, “curse and find whatever f’n tab is now making the noise” is my favourite game.

Fuck this “web as app” shit.

a big ask

Hey. When you’re not selling cars, it’s still just ‘a request’.

good free music that can be played in the work place and around customers?

Try the radio: https://radio.garden/

Didn’t the German trains have such incredible reliability that they issued apology notes for workers when they arrived late, because bosses wouldn’t believe that’s why someone was tardy?

Butbutbut AWS reliability and many regions and zones means this can’t happen! ;-)

I feel this in my midnight cursing and investigation.

I gotta get HAss going so I can still use my lights when the clowd breaks.

I presumed the draw of us-east-1 was its lower cost

At no time is pub-cloud cheaper than priv-cloud.

The draw is versatility, as change didn’t require spinning up hardware. No one knew how much the data costs would kill the budget, but now they do.

universal single point of failure.

If it’s not a region failure, it’s someone pushing untested slop into the devops pipeline and vaping a network config. So very fired.

I love the “git gud” response. Sacred cashcows?

No jack? I’m out. This is partially a preference but more I don’t want to be forced into the bt earpod purchase loop.

You’re talking about the “95 percentile” rule, right?

it feels like the setup menus are just a game of minesweeper

…and that turns it into a skills game vs a bad gamble.

And people who don’t wanna hire pros to manage their on-prem think they can maybe, just maybe, win that skill game.

And that’s how casinos that don’t launder their games of chance through clowd sign-ups also leverage dunning-kruger for profit.

You: ‘u’

Me: downvote

This looks very nice.

Um, you know you’re supposed to keep dev tools in dev, right? Npm->commit->release payload without npm. Far fewer supply-chain exploits.

Bots eavesdropping? That’s a great way to see all the nerds dead silent on the mandated cam feeds except for the furious typing and occasional smirk. They’re probably working.

Still crutching on containers?
