Aerospikes are hard because you cant control the external pressure. At altitude A you have X atmospheric pressure, but at altitude B, Y pressure, that pressure is what keeps the exhaust against the surfave and exerting force, you can only d

The upside was that it was 100% customizable, there were tons of themes that redesigned the entire look of the desktop, and lots of resources for it. Naturally, all mine looked like hot garbage, but it taught me about texture and image edit

Screw USB, seriously. The U stands for Universal, and its far from it. Add on the fact that USB-IF keeps making new standards and causing havoc along the way, and as an additonal effect are adding extra cost to any system because of their f

These kinds of outages continue to happen and continue to impact 50+% of the internet, yes, they know they have that power, but they dont treat changes as such, so no, they arent aware. Awareness would imply more care in operations like cod

Call me when AI can manage to write a regex that i would write, to parse a complex string, rather than some ridiculous mishmashing of nonascii chars that you need to talk to an ancient shaman to decrypt; or when AI can actually recognize co

Being able to explain a thing to someone non-technical is an important social requirement. If you have to explain a problem or project to a C-level and you go off the rails with technical stuff, or get deep in the weeds of some part of it,

Id hardly call this ageism. The person went from being part of engineering on a major space faring project to managing a callcenter. Thats like going back to zero on the career ladder, as far as engineering is concerned. I would have also b

You only need about 40hz to make it seem on all the time, TVs (before 2020, maybe earlier) only did 25hz-ish. You can actually play pretty ridiculous tricks on the brain if you know this. For example, in VR, in a large enough room, you can

Id rather have an AI that can filter out the bullshit scams and actually find me something thats not wasting my time. Ive been tryin to move out of this place for like 2 years, free time is a factor, but the other half is that every other l

For the most part iptables is no more, iptables tools are now just wrappers to nftables. Technically you can still write iptables rules, and they will show up in nftables. Wouldnt recommend long term but its a good way to see the translatio

Dont forget the critical software that keeps the company going that someone dealt with long ago, and was left to rot when they left, only for someone to discover it and have to go on an archeology dig to find info and improve upon it.

I thought i knew about scaled deployments before i started working where i do now. After staring here, i realized i had no idea what an environment of huuuuge scale actually was. Id been part of multi site deployments and scaled infra, but

I would slightly sort of disagree that code is just math when you really boil it down, however, if you take a simple task, say, printing hello world to the output, you could actually break that down into a mathematical process. You can math

Im battling this at work. We have 4 different monitoring solutions; sensu, checkmk, icnga, prometheus/telegraf. Everyone at work suffers through them because they are "known", however whenever i have to monitor something, i q

Definitely not an entirely alternative solution. It requires LoS between each point, which means max distance would be maybe 30 miles on totally flat ground without towers, or drones keeping a constant point, to act as a hop between points

Its a complicated init.d.. No thanks. I hate systemd, but at least the services files are sane. This is going to suffer the same shit tuat init.d did, a billion scripts with the same logic. Why!?

This article made the exact argument for why you SHOULD use /usr/bin/env. The thing may not be where you expect. And moreso, especially on the python example, virtualenvs are practically a requirement for any slightly advance

Actually, i bet they were the cause, and they shouldnt have been. I bet the ceo has some super cow power permissions that let them see every repo, leading to querying the entire db

I am against the key in tpm. If they steal the whole box, your data is theirs. Disk encryption with key in tpm is like locking your door but intentionally leaving the keys in the door

No disk encryption, server stolen. The end. They have your data, everything else is too late. Who would ssh into a box they stole and have physical unencrypted access, no one.

I use a shell command as .PHONY, to keep it always synced. the command looks through the makefile, and then outputs the targets for the line. I also use a similar pattern to provide a `help` target, which shows all targets, and a blurb abou
