It also kills validation. You think you know what’s installed, but you have 4 copies of it and 3 of them have been sploited and you have no clue.

All that shit - appimage, snaps, containers - they all hide versions and signed manifests from you while still being terrible in other ways.

NOT ON THAT PAGE:

• a description as to what the FLX is.

I can make a guess, but it’s easier to hit Next.

I have argued with him. He can tend to throw up flippant back-hands, but his prepared arguments are good.

This is potentially a great ‘weeder’ question for junior Unix admin interviews, as it requires some knowledge about shell globbing and tar dir traversal.

I admit it took me a sec (and a second read) before I got it, so it was a fun “hey what” exercise.

Excellent question.

I know a guy with three degrees and decades of experience on a resume littered with well-known companies and astounding projects.

2.5 years out of work.

This is the guy who should be fixing slopper code and he’s working volunteers and startups so his resume isn’t toxic from an Uber or Amazon gig.

You wrote 30,000 words to ask whether racism is cool. The answer didn’t change.

“hype-reactive”

Yeah, I interviewed for a job that required a lot of Systemd work. I crushed the practicum super hard and my genius new boss teached numa pessimization for DB load (bit if a click bait start but she hashed it out perfectly and it will come up again) before I declined on rates.

It’s not that it’s hard work. It’s that Systemd is a bad tool; and we deserve the day of crying wreckage it will gleefully cause one day.

They have wasted so much time talking shiz about a system they did not want to understand

You write “engineers with decades of skill pointing out obvious and blatant fundamental problems with the design and scope that first-year comp sci students would be corrected for” weird. It may require experience to spot the difference, though.

Churn != Improvement

1. Install Rocky9
2. Yum install gitlab-omnibus
3. Oh. We’re done.

We have kids saying U R . Emoji taking the place of words is just natural devolution.

“effect/affect”

There are three meanings to each. Good luck.

Isn’t our red regime still a minority by, like, one?

And we don’t pick for perfection; we pick to get the best of who can win, and that’s not orange today.

There is no situation so bad that Peter Polyestre can’t make it worse.

People who don’t realize that tolerance is a social contract will tolerate assholism, which abets the assholing.

That’s got to stop.

Dial up the fuzz until at least one source pops out. Need to know more on the mars rover? Here’s how to teach your dog to knit.

My peer used the newton for comp sci class notes. Daily. Exclusively.

Then she went on to mastermind the behaviour and tactics of Myth: The Fallen Lords.

It’s tenuous, but I say that’s causal.

Is that prison alien or Michael Wincott alien? Both were excellent and pushed the lore a bit.

Copilot leads me on flights of fanciful code that is absolutely not possible, and the joy turns to tragedy when I find out it lied insidiously about a particular niche function the entire time.

The day the KKK has control over your friend’s day-to-day existence, that will be a relevant policy.
