Yeah valuations are up but the business and products are looking progressively more fucked every month. If there's anything I've seen it's there are barely any people without macbooks coming out of university now and they are

This is on the mark. But there's another issue which is what cripples windows for dev! NTFS has a terrible design flaw which is the fact that small files, under 640 bytes, are stored in the MFT. The MFT ends up having serious lock cont

How about "expected poor ratio of corn to shit" .?

This is all my personal hells in one place.

Yeah that. I had an external "security consultant" (trained monkey) tell me the other day that something fucking stupid we were doing was fine. There are many many people who should not be allowed near keyboards these days.

I tried them all. Surprisingly macOS + homebrew feels more like FreeBSD with a layer of something else over the top that runs Photoshop. I am happy with that mid-ground. I ran FreeBSD on actual hardware doing mail/web from about 1997-2

I can be found around heavy metal shows as well hahaha. I try not to be comic book guy these days. I was in the past. I just want to learn together with people. That is all.

Neither. Just use memcache for query cache if you have to. And only if you have to, because invalidation is hard. It's cheap, reliable, mature, fast, scalable, requires little understanding, has decent quality clients in most languages

I would prefer to have someone with a full brain in HR.

To be fair I've seen some terraform fuck ups that that nearly did that already. Fortunately AWS doesn't let you delete S3 buckets with files in them without emptying them first...

I got an HR meeting a couple of years back where they selected me to be laid off because I wasn't closing as many tickets off as the rest of the team. Every single ticket had been through another engineer first and they had failed to r

Nah it's not that at all. Most of the services are totally fungible and everyone has a short attention span. You need to be in a market which is extremely difficult to disrupt and have a product which people are totally dependent on. A

They’re going to have to deal with the moon nazis first. Oh no wait a minute.

I wouldn’t credit science fiction for much of this. It appears to have come out of a crack pipe.

They just shot Slack and moved to Teams only here. The company is falling apart so quickly they are going to have to pay up again before the end of the month.

They'll make a judgement without him if he doesn't turn up.

Yeah. Pickett N600-ES. Sometimes I will solve a problem with it just because I can. Keeps the mental model fresh. Mostly just use an HP 42s though. I will note I didn't get it or use it until about 1998.

Amazon isn't much better there. Wait until you hit an EC2 quota limit and can't get anyone to look at it quickly (even under paid enterprise support) or they say no. Also had a few instance types which won't spin up in some r

Apart from the speedometer which is outside your safe FOV in the Tesla. And everything in the BMW you should be dealing with when driving is on or around the steering wheel.

BMW actually has a reasonable control surface though, not a grand user interface experiment by some crack heads. As I'm in Europe I just get trains.

What is tiring is people defending it. Everyone goes down with this ship...

I should say delivering promised products. Anyway they just canned the S and X lines so that's done as well...

Oh c'mon now. Damn model 3 and model S I have driven were considerably lower quality interiors than an ass end Citroen or Fiat. The Model S, a 2023 model the doors didn't even fit properly. And that was all Europe. As for FSD, nop

I had a bunch of photos in Apple Photos which did that sort of thing. As a library management tool it's probably the best out there. But when you search for brown dog it'll bring back different coloured goats, horses and cows too.

We really need an OS with a metadata capture and indexing system that isn't crap. Exif is metadata. "give me all files with a location in Chicago"

After going through 25 years of changing software every few years on this front I can’t be bothered. Files on disk. Nothing over the top. Immich is just another thing to maintain. Another problem which will result in a wholesale migration d

It's not that I refuse to acknowledge they exist, just don't give a fuck. I mean do I really care about Kubernetes CNI? Nope it doesn't actually make any money - it's an operational cost at the end of the day. And the wh
