Not really. I personally have hated YAML with a passion since it arrived on my lap with Ansible.

I suspect the US gov will just take SpaceX off him if he does anything objectionable.

I mostly recommend it to my colleagues so they don’t keep bugging me on how to do things. This has kept my productivity (thinking about stuff) sky high.

It’s probably duty cycled on and off and compared to a photodiode output on the reflection. Either way the moment that light comes on you’re getting punched if you point it at the wrong person. I’d rather have my phone hit out of my hand. G

I agree and don't mind paying for stuff but for some unknown reason Fastmail won't let me sign up. Says my phone number has already been used. Edit: scrap that. I needed to pay for it first! It's working now.

Slowly boiling myself away from this and subscription software. The last few months have been moving my data to portable formats, open source software and on disk rather than in the cloud. The first step was to move away from macOS to Windo

I don't have one and it's annoying and not annoying. Annoying because, yes entering numbers is a problem. Not annoying because the mouse is closer.

That's hardly any. I think I get 9 months out of a keyboard. Currently using a Cherry Stream TKL. Probably the best keyboard I've had for years and it was dirt cheap.

I haven't touched OpenBSD for a few years if I'm honest but one of the things that did not enrage me about it was that it didn't nag me to change anything once I'd got it working properly. I suspect that's part of i

Exactly! If I want to run something on my computer I’ll damn well download a tar file and spend several hours arguing with autoconf! :)

Yup. "well you're unlikely to have that at your age so go home and don't worry about it" . I had it.

Honestly if I had all those hoops to jump through I'd go and work somewhere else.

I know. I said exactly what I meant to say.

Selling your soul to a different crack dealer. Hmm.

That makes sense now :)

Enough to eat for a couple of years. I keep my fiat currency in property.

Every time I see these stories I'm glad I keep all my cash in a regulated bank with regulator backed compensation rather than some startup powered by gargling bong water and hoping the fuck they don't get hacked.

S3 is fine until you want your data to leave AWS. Then it costs $92 / TB to get it out again. Also S3 has durability guarantees but it's very difficult to do a durable transactional write to S3. Try it a few million times and see.

I am completely dumbfounded by this reply. You're suggesting we engineer something on S3 and aws-cli, while complaining about engineering something ourselves when AWS offers a perfectly good queue service that requires no engineering?

Yeah this. In the middle of bloody nowhere in Central Asia completely off any beaten track and there was wanker with a drone buzzing around.

I think you're probably being slightly dismissive. It's not necessarily about load but various other concerns like durability, delivery latency and how failures are handled. There's a big difference between messaging and reli

How to do a full rewrite: 1. Create a subsidiary company and transfer the code ownership to that. 2. Sell the subsidiary company to an investor for big money and run away quickly. 3. While rolling around in VC cash, green field a better pro

Completely wrong. Purchasers buy Intel if there is a choice. A huge amount of people got burned by shitty AMD hardware. Right into Ryzen era. Intel stuff tends to just work. As for problems it’s usually reliability issues with power managem

The key take home for me there is the simple replaceable software and data portability. This is something I am working on at the moment. I built a new windows PC recently and am moving to portable file formats and tools slowly. Nothing goes

The trick here is to get the hell away from JSON quickly. I only ever use jq to turn JSON into text and then use my crusty old tools on that. If I’m working on my own thing I’ll use a text based format. Although recently I parsed json out w

I think it’s more complicated than that. It’s not just incentivised stuff from intel. There is little to no market for high end stuff from AMD. Some vendors tried and it didn’t sell. Most of the workstation consumers I know won’t touch AMD
