Having spent time working in UK healthcare tech, I never understood why everyone was lining up to throw buckets of money at Palantir. Quite apart from being obviously evil and so on, none of their solutions were actually very good. Unfortun

Reaaaally? I think a lot of the readability of python is in the fact you don't need to be recently familiar with it to pick up what its doing most of the time. Over my career I've dipped in and out of rust, typescript, perl, swift

I doubt it. Interns are cheap. They've replaced paid staff with interns!

But that wasn't your point. Your point was that, because Russia, it _didn't matter_ if it did constitute stealing.

interesting, I'd assumed the lowest tier of hetzner (4.50/m, 2 cpus, 4GB ram) wouldn't hold up to that. must be very light, for so much traffic. any more details?

ah, thank you. Haven't worked in java for a bit now, but that was the only one I read where I was like "I'm sure we didn't have to avoid this when I worked on java". The rest were all very familiar. Well, apart from

I now really want my city to employ local artists to redraw all the street markings. Chaos, sure, but beautiful chaos.

I mean fired and resigned when it became clear you'd be fired are the same thing really. We're not actually entitled to know the exact details of someone's job ending. They worked there. Now they don't. That much is the

Nah, The Register is far more strongly anti-AI. Mention AI and systemd in the same article and watch them froth

I absolutely disagree. This has been done very professionally. They pulled the article. They handled the personnel matter. They didn't try to pretend it hasn't happened. Why are people here acting like retracting an article is an

OK "Jeff Dean once shifted a bit so hard it ended up on another computer" got a proper chuckle from me

No, this is silly. Don't do this. You absolutely keep pushing for a refund and go via you CC provider if they don't respond.

IDK, I think this is too negative a take. It's easy to blame those in charge for not realising that your problem was the important one but ... how many problems were they being presented with? Sure, in this instance, they prioritised t

I mean I'd guess it was because it's somewhere with a higher bar to firing. Redundancy or dismissal are both much more complicated (expensive) than simply making it very clear you'd like someone to leave.

Yeah I thought this was a weird take too. Too often people take privacy for "I can do what I like". IMO deleting something you've sent to someone else is not a privacy concern at all.

Yeah, people have such short memories for this stuff. When we ran our own servers a couple of jobs ago, we had a rota of people who'd be on call for events like failing disks. I don't want to ever do that again. In general, I&#x27

in the uk job losses and firings are different things, with different meanings, so the criticism here is a bit off. job loss / redundancy = there is no need for this role any more. your job is gone firing = you are not appropriate&#x2F
