Perhaps not useful to the conversation, but I really wish that whomever coined the behavior as a 'hallucination' had consulted a dictionary first. It's delusional, not hallucinated. Delusions are the irrational holdings of fa

Yeah, helm is...interesting. it's just a gnarly yaml -> template -> yaml cycle. it's better than nothing for the problem it solves....but god, there's gotta be a better way.

Without additional context, this is my default understanding. If it were in a compiler development conversation, I'd think of outputted machine code.

Yes, there's nothing novel about an append only log. What's missing (or unbeknownst to me) is a library or small server that provides a good general purpose implementation. It's not just a matter of "write to log, done!&

It's relatively easy -- removing any networking requirements drastically simplifies the problem. There's still some non-trivial bits that vary depending on granularity for concurrency. It's a weekend project to demonstrate t

One of my desires would be for it to be persistent. Hopefully with the option of different storage tiers, so as logs became older they could be moved to less costly medium and transparently fetched when requested. Having an event sourced s

It seems a lot of the complaints weren't about kafka itself, but rather seemed to stem from internal communication problems. Custom kafka message headers could very well be custom http headers, and the problem is the same. Kafka is j

All spaces are invisible :) Hipchat would insert non visible characters when copy and pasting messages. I don't know if they still do. I remember spending an absurd amount of time replacing every single bit of a sql query until I fin

When considering bad faith actors, I tend to consider taking extreme: I worry that the toggles don't actually do anything at all. Or there's some other means of exfiltration in use that's not covered by the existing controls

This is assuming the use of a monotonic clock. the system wall clock may jump backwards in time. Itt also assumes that only one id can be generated per millisecond (or whatever clock resolution). In the case of multiple threads or proces

The departure from precise timestamps in UIs is unpleasant. It's not just github, gitlab does it as well.

I'm not defending them, I'm being critical of the approach taken by the OP, because of the clear attempt to rile people into picking up their pitchforks.

If the corporation doesn't care, why are you spending energy complaining about it? Are you hoping to enact change, or are you just complaining?
166.
by chrsig 3y ago
Sure, but if you're looking to have a dialog with the corporation about it, bringing specific actionable feedback is going to be met better than petulant foot stomping. Honey vs vinegar, and all.

Given the text of that first post, it's no wonder why there's been silence. What do you even do with that? It gives no details about why whatever the new feature is bad, or what was good about the prior behavior. It's presu

none, and I do use gnome. to be honest, I'm not even sure where I'd get a shell extension, or what I'd want out of one. I tend to run apps in full screen and switch between virtual desktops.

To be fair, there is a meth problem in the US. Also there's a huge chasm between lab grade amphetamine and street meth.

Glad to have my wild speculation disproven :) And glad that becoming a full time independent maintainer is working out for you! Though, in hopes you see this, I have to ask: Is there any sort of plan for if you wanted to step down from a ma

So next up, we'll be hiring people to put the bugs into the code base, so AI companies like this can stay in business, right? No bugs means no AI to fix bugs.

I'm sorry you had to live through that, and I'm glad you had tools to subvert that oppression. I'm relieved that it sounds like you've escaped from that situation. It was not my intent to assert any privilege, and it wa
