Towards the end of 2018 was my first experience with VR, and I was blown away by it and became very bullish for the technology. When Oculus announced that Facebook accounts would become mandatory, I packed up my CV1 the same day and my hear

Agreed, I have issues daily with Google: * shows results despite having zero actual matching results * ignores parts of the query even if they are surrounded in quotes * gets completely thrown off by keywords (and, or, etc) and symbols (=,

When you consider that a lot of Tesla drivers are also a) Elon Musk fanatics b) shareholders trying to save face on behalf of the company their reaction makes perfect sense.

The number of @here IM pings I get on company chat during the day is insane, and usually none of them apply to me. Sometimes I have to just secretly schedule work that requires my absolute focus to the night time behind my boss' back.

The conclusion that lighting itself is causing that effect cannot be drawn from that information. There could be a number of other factors for why violent crimes happen at night.

I don't see the relevance. Criminals aren't cave bats - they're not going to reconsider an act because there's a street light. They'll just move on to another opportunity or do it anyway. I echo globular-toast'

I see, apologies for my unnecessary hostility. It makes sense that the tool would highlight parts of the codebase that need refactoring. I am a bit confused about what would be communicated between two engineers on a piece of code though. W

Something else to consider is all the edge cases you'll hit with tools like Ansible and Puppet. I'm pretty sure neither of them handle apt getting into a locked state because an operation was interrupted. So you end up having to w

Yes, there's more to it sadly. The hardware isn't in our control and UPS are out of the question. The machines aren't on premises or in a datacentre. Puppet works okayish but when you have a large fleet of what are basically

Snap definitely doesn't belong on servers - our flavor of Ubuntu doesn't have it. If you bootstrap from Ubuntu Base you can cut out a lot of that crap.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this just a tool to install a chosen OS (for example Ubuntu)?

I've had my eye on it but haven't played with it yet. From a bird's eye view and a discussion with a friend, it doesn't sound ready for production, but I'm not ruling it out. I think it would be a battle to convince

Appreciate the suggestion but this looks like a provisioning tool. Puppet is more or less good enough, it's the OS and its mutability which is our problem.

Netplan on paper is a nice abstraction layer for various network configuration tools. In reality, it's a pain in the backside which may not yet support a config option you want to use for the chosen backend. These days my preference is

I work in a different industry and am responsible for maintaining a fleet of bare metal OSes (we currently use Ubuntu). Bare metal management really feels like an unsolved problem. Whilst everybody working with cloud environments is whisked

My impression of container scanners has always been that they are security theatre. Something that lets companies say 'look how security conscious we are'. Same for code scanners. If an automated process really could find vulnerab

Why are merge conflicts considered a problem? They're just git asking you what the source should really look like. They can be tricky to resolve but not insurmountable. What this really looks like is a procrastination tool so that so

Love that 'petro curse' analogy. It makes me wonder where else it applies - where else that easy success in one domain prevents success in another.

So tired of this arms race. The Web is an absolute joke.

We are already past that point. The world is not reducing carbon emissions fast enough. I don't see how nuclear allows us to reduce them any faster. The bottleneck is funding and will of the everyday man. The world won't become un

You can't really measure safety in terms of deaths. Chernobyl only officially killed a handful of people, yet rendered a huge chunk of land uninhabitable. When nuclear goes wrong, it goes really wrong. And yes, you can argue that tha

When making claims like this, please link a reliable source, because I have a hard time believing diet has a statistically significant impact on cognitive performance - excluding caffeine or other stimulants of course.

Sad that the source ( https://github.com/tostercx/GTAO_Booster_PoC ) has been taken down, I wanted to give this a try myself. I imagine a lot of GTA Online players would.

Yep, sometimes I feel like having a drive around, and then I remember how long it takes to load and play something else instead. If you end up in a lobby with undesirables and are forced to switch, you've got another long wait.

Yep, CI like this is a catastrophe. Sourcehut's ad-hoc builds are really nice because you can test without pushing any changes. But sadly, Sourcehut CI is lacking in other areas.

When people have suggested a Hippocratic oath for technology workers in the past I've laughed at the idea. I think I've changed my mind.

You'd need to scan for random hosts on the Internet and hope they're running a client to do that, no?
