I was kinda amazed to find out how hard it was to buy a kobo libra colour in .de -- apparently there's some kind of cartel thing going on where amazon somehow convince entire markets not to sell their competitors products. I had to ord

A lot of places (e.g the village i live in) have volunteer fire teams which only really need equipment and training, it’s much cheaper than having a 24/7 paid fire department. Obviously doesn’t scale to a city.

You can get into difficulty with kubernetes here, as your jvm will detect all cores on the node but you may have set a resources limit on the pod/whatever, so it’ll assume it can spend more time doing stuff than it actually can, so oft

portmaster is the tool i use for upgrading installed ports on freebsd since… like… olden times.

Part of the blame here has to be on whoever decided it was a smart move to install recoding devices with these features in the first place. I always find it astounding when I see Americans showing cctv footage recorded inside their homes

I implemented a system recently that is a drop in replacement for a component of ours, old used 250gb of memory, new one uses 6gb, exact same from the outside. Bad code is bad code, poor choices are poor choices — but I think it’s often tim

I still don’t really get the argument, like okay this extremely rich theoretical attacker can obtain the private key for the cert my service uses, and somehow they’re able to sniff my traffic and could then somehow extract creds. But that

I work for a pretty big one and we’ve got an exacc or twelve. Regulatory thing for us, some workloads need production support for the data tier for various boring legal and compliance reasons, so our choices are kida limited to oracle and,

It’s def got 80’s hacker movie vibes, typing “Iniate log rotation sequence;” etc just screams out for a green terminal emulator.

I missed my oasis dearly but I couldn’t wait anymore and got a Kobo Libre (not sure the exact model, th color one); it’s pretty much as good, only thing i miss is the dual battery system. Koreader is well supported and has all the features

Accessible if you have a masters degree in mathematics? I can’t understand really any of that…

The happy path for me is with erlang, due to the concurrency model the blast radius of an error is exceptionally small, so the programming style is to let things crash if they go wrong. So, really you are writing the happy path code only (m

Generally agree, all the problems i’ve had with erlang have been related to full mailboxes or having one process type handling too many kinds of different messages etc. These are manageable, but i really really stress and soak test my rel

Oh, I didn’t mean it’s the only one. There are a bunch for sure! Turns out writing concurrent reliable distributed systems is really hard. I’ve not found anything else that makes them easier to deal with than BEAM though. I’d switch if some

Eh maybe. I work on a big, mature, production erlang system which has millions of processes per cluster and while the author is right in theory, these are quite extreme edge cases and i’ve never tripped over them. Sure, if you design a shit

While true, the engineer would have to be a weapons grade tit to get themself in such legal trouble, and honestly deserves whatever criminal charges comes their way.

It’s even dumber than that. Let’s not forget that if even three engineers are working on this migration for only a week your cost is now 10’s of thousands for this couple hundred euros cost saving. (assuming avg all-in engineer costs in eur

I’ve been in dev since CVS was a thing and did migrations across all of them really, svn, mg and finally git. I’ve worked in a broad swathe of industries and never once over 25 years have I ever seen an org not using source code management.

I’ve never really found there to be all that much of a market for specifically c++ developers. If you do decide to look for work more seriously I wouldn’t be too hung up on language, if you can code in one you can pretty much code in all of

It’s bananas how many utterly crap candidates we get at the moment too. One low point was an interview with a guy who connected with his current work laptop and couldn’t find the $ key on it for a basic scripting question. I can’t make it m

Our work macs are tied into microsoft’s intune thingy, pretty sure that’s enough for most orgs. Not that i’m a fan of it, but meh it exists.

You’ve lost me. How does a tech ceo giving a trinket to the current president indicate any kind of respect or lack thereof towards its users?

There is CAMRA, but tbh it seems to mostly be retired people with enormous beer bellies in their 60's who are happy enough to drink bishops finger or doom bar.
