I still fail to see if that is their side hobby or the entire point for them.

You are missing out the entire point. In a justice system, a single innocent in prison is a thousand times worse than a free criminal. This is where most people draw the line if they think about it. Because when you put innocents under arre

There are companies I wouldn't candidate for, even with kids I think, although it's hard to say, I don't have kids, and apparently there is a mind-shift happening when you get one. Oracle, Palantir come to mind. But maybe not

Maybe not, there are plenty of hard things to do at Microsoft scale, hypervisors (which I guess could count as "OS" but maybe not "Windows" in the consumer-product line sense), compilers, languages, hardware since Micros

Depends on everybody needs obviously, but say you have your dev machine that is remote, and you want to connect to it from a laptop (for real-estate reason or just for working from everywhere you want), maybe you want everything on the same

Maybe not a shit company but a trash company indeed.

I completely agree and went by the proverb "everything worth doing is worth doing poorly" about a year ago now, it took some time for it to sink in but now I'm actually productive. My main blocker was waiting for other's

I agree with your nuance, but that's not my default mode, unless I know the language and the domain well I am not going to write an MR. I'm going to read the stack trace to see it it's a conf issue though.

Most devs can't do SRE, in fact the best devs I've met know they can't do SRE (and vice versa). If I may get a bit philosophical, SRE must be conservative by nature and I feel that devs are often innovative by nature. Another

My take (I'm an SRE) is that SRE should work pre-emptively to provide reproducible prod-like environments so that QA can test DEV code closer to real-life conditions. Most prod platforms I've seen are nowhere near that level of au

Maybe he meant boot environments ?

I've said it before too, it is exemplary in terms of what documentation should be ; just read through it with a VM on, type the things, and everything just works, no googling or LLMing around. I heard it is the same for other BSDs as w

There are a bunch of those for free no ? Rails blocks (paid, about the same price as this Rails UI), Ruby UI (MIT licensed), I think I saw a couple more here.

Yep LXQt is a beast, super snappy and complete. I use it on an old laptop (2012) and it still works great with a very low memory footprint (much lower than XFCE when I tested a bunch of them).

How does it compare to fabric ? I used neither of those. I'm quite proficient in ansible and fine with it but always interested in alternatives.

I just watched for 5 min and no they don't play very well. Deepseek squeezed with K4o against CO open and BTN call with full stacks. Grok 3b AI with 25bb in the button with Q4s. Those are very far from optimal play which is well known

I remember airport hostesses when they used it to get your boarding pass from the mainframe, it took them 5 seconds and a few key-strokes like 3 letter of my name to get the job done. When they switched to web-uis some year, I vividly remem

It's also the best way to use llms in my opinion, for idea generation and snippets, and then do the thing "manually". Much better mastery of the code, no endless loop of "this creates that bug, fix it", and it comes

I have a previous experience with it. I agree with most points. Jobs can be downloaded as xml config and thus kept/versioned. But the rest is valid. I just don't want to manage gitlab, we already have it at corp level, just can&#x

Yeah I was thinking of using it for us actually. Connects to everything, lots of plugins, etc. I wonder what the hate is from, they are all pretty bad aren't they ? Will test forgejo's CI first as we'll use the repo anyway, b

Overall it works well and I like the defaults, the work done is remarkable, and it's been a huge relief considering the shitshow that's Windows 11, and even an improvement from Windows 10 which I enjoyed for years, but it lacks a

Funny I've been poking with the latest ISO last night in a VM. ZFS on root with mirroring and boot environment is seamless, which to me is a huge enabler for a rolling release with fast update cycle, so I want to try it deeper. Current

I agree. We are going as far as being asked to release our public app on self-hosted kube cluster in 9 months, with no kube experience and nobody with a CKA in a 2.5 person ops team. "Just do it it's easy" is the name of the

If it runs on a mainframe you would lose both the chess and the boxing.

It does happen that the engine doesn't immediately see that a line is best, but that's getting very rare those days. It was funny in certain positions a few years back to see the engine "change its mind" including in old

At this point, why isn't Amazon shipping us products that they think we should buy ? After all we can always send them back and get a refund if we don't want them.

I used emacs at school some 15 years ago and I remember it being pretty seemless, I had an OCaml repl for one course and a 68000 emulator with memory inspection for another, and gdb integrated for C ; I do NOT remember hours of configuring
