100% agree on this. Ansible sell out and Hashicorp are fine examples of this.

I work in a bubble with people who are ignorant.

Please don't get me started on VScode. That is basically a remote execution environment. Just adding an extension and opening a file has the cheek to ask if what is on your filesystem is trusted immediately after downloading several te

This is how I used to do stuff when I was working on .Net classic years ago. Check the damn dlls into SVN which was all in-house.

Am I the only one who is scared by the entire ecosystem of "drag random crap and dependencies off the Internet from who the hell knows"? I've had a couple of minor incidents with NodeJS dependencies over the last few years on

Pretty cool but is the TX / LPF still shitty? The cheaper radios usually are a real miss on this front.

So about the same as the ones with 250,000 YT subscribers and an Audi.

I just bought an iPad Pro. That sits on the tables fine with a flip case on it. Also attracts zero attention by customs.

Fairly simple. One sheet per pay cycle / month labelled accordingly. One column for Transaction name, one for each account. I have two bank accounts and a credit card. First row is the summary header which contains the sum of each colu

Yeah this. After futzing with Excel for over a decade, I switched to GNUcash and the budgeting didn't work, then two other commercial products which didn't work, then I tried to design a product which would solve the problem and t

Don't forget an endless cycle of inventing ways to make debugging and problem solving harder by adding isolation boundaries and complexity :)

The metadata and configuration does violate this but the containers are portable if you care enough to make sure that they don't depend on anything AWS specific.

Killer one that has shafted us is tying everything into popular deployment and CI tooling. Your product should be buildable, deployable and tested on a standalone workstation at any time. We have lost literally days fucking around with brok

I've been on about this for years. Very few people give a shit until there is a price on not doing it. We already have 8 layers of VMs running interpreted stuff on supercomputers just to display a web page. What could possibly go wrong

That would be fine if I could hire one person, which I can't. Also, we shot ourselves historically with Scala which had the same promises.

Cash. I can't even afford to hire people who are moderately competent because FAANGs keep herding them away.

My budget does not run to people who can write or maintain Elixir.

I would expect if the problem is reducible to that argument, Prometheus and Kubernetes would have been written in Erlang.

I would rather pay twice that for a Pixel 7A. Or at a push 50 bucks more for a pixel 6A if you shop around. There’s budget and there’s shite and this is shite.

Most UX studies ignore that users want people to leave things the fuck alone and stop breaking their workflows.

This is the defacto standard way of operating it I understand, which is mostly just hacking at stuff in small chunks until it sort of works and leaving comments throughout it with "run this bit on Tuesdays only". I recently had to

I don't think anyone has worked this out yet. Literally 99% of laptops out there die and/or are recycled with the stock configuration. The first thing to go are the ports, batteries, screens, keyboards. I haven't seen an SSD

Well you don't because there is a row of pads stuck to the bottom of the connector which is torn off the board. You can only resolder and patch up the other row on the end of the connector body. The row that is torn off the board will

Charlatans preying on the poor and cheap I suspect. As an actual qualified EE who used to design high speed digital and RF boards I can tell you that they might not even be working properly straight away, let alone a year from now. You&#x27

I think the planned obsolescence thing may not have any legs. My mother has a 9 year old Apple SoC in her pocket which is still getting software updates... As for all the other things the claims are usable in both directions. They're

Nailed it. The benefits are overstated and the negatives are sold as benefits.

The cables were crap yes I agree there. But case in point my mother has my 2015 phone 6s. It’s been through me and two of my kids already. We are all violent simian creatures who spend a lot of time doing silly things outdoors. But the port

Not even slightly exaggerating. The repairs are overstated. If you think these fixes last more than a few weeks you are probably mistaken. And due to the way footprints are designed for the shells there are occluded pins which can’t be reso

I think it's a bit of both. The USB-C connector design isn't great. And some vendors have worse connector shells then others. Dell and Lenovo seem to have terrible ones. I haven't had any problem with Apple USB-C connectors o

It's the other way around here. I always run a different platform at home to work. It's part of keeping sane in this industry. Then again the latest macOS broke me completely. But it's not like Microsoft haven't done tha
