This is the criminal cyberpunk future we've been reading about since the 80s...

Mostly delivering the inferior half baked product early and watching the customers burn.

Agree entirely. I also objected to that.

Yes fair point. However WSL2 is just a heavily disguised Hyper-V virtual machine with lots of weirdness around it rather than a proper NT subsystem.

Oh completely agree with all of these but it's possible to deliver them without the malfeasance of actually measurably damaging the productivity of your staff. The big problem with modern IT teams is they are an independent authority t

I don’t understand any of it. Mostly it’s selfish CYA mentality rather than the business responsibility of being a service provider, and you know, actually providing service.

Bold of you to assume I haven’t read and understood the contents of my contract which implicitly does not disallow this. Realistically I build spikes and prototypes on my own hardware and only push to the environment never pull. Production

I’m having that argument now. The story is that the IT teams are detached completely from the reality of their end users and are driven by compliance box ticking, off the shelf corporate malware sales marketoids, incompetence and ignorance.

Yeah I didn’t want to write a couple of pages of rant on here.

Based on Microsoft’s ability to plan and manage product naming I think you stumbled on a coincidence there rather than actual intent.

No one fixes the bugs because they’re not interesting. It’s why I’m now a mac user.

Completely agree with that. One of the best soundtracks in a film. Shame about the film!

Absolutely dire film but a good soundtrack.

We use CloudWatch Synthetics to watch our internal monitoring systems using a heartbeat system we developed. It delivers to SQS queues. If the queues are empty for 10 minutes then something is broken and a CloudWatch alert kicks off an engi

Think we'll have an AWS region in Alpha Centauri by then... Edit: and it'll still break when us-east-1 is destroyed by the sun exploding.

Powder it. Problem solved.

Actually there is Credential Guard which in concept does this. But Microsoft only use this for Kerberos/Domain stuff and it's only supported in Enterprise Edition. They only don't support this because Windows is market segmen

This is wrong. Seize it. Make it National Trust property. Job done. Doesn’t need an aristocracy present in it. Also The Queen has a hell of a lot of hidden wealth.

This is a really good description without delving into the mathematics.

Other commenter has it spot on. TAoE is a good reference so carry on reading :)

Using that simplified model, it's better to think of it as a simple diode between B-E and a completely separate current source between C-E. But it's way more complicated than that.

As always these things tell us how transistors work, which is fine and all that, but that's not enough to tell anyone how to use one which is almost universally done incorrectly even in some high profile textbooks. They are a little mo

The only good one is where the people you need to communicate with. Which isn’t telegram or signal for me.

Err yeah they do know. Everyone just uses WhatsApp.

I mostly write stuff in Go with no imports at all now. It’s just that and stock vim on macOS is my entire stack. I am fortunate that my own contributions only require that.

Can confirm my kids have and it wasn’t even a shared one. Ergo I’d rather not have shared devices anyway. It was hell when we shared a family windows 2000 computer back in the day.

I have to argue with mine once a day at least but that’s better than every fucking time I want to do anything with every other device I’ve owned. Also, I have no wires now other than a couple of chargers. It is freedom. Never do I have to

It’s even scarier when you actually sit down and review some of the code you’ve been importing for years… It has resulted in a major thinking shift for me. Mostly initiated by a malicious nodejs package being quietly pulled in.

For reference Yahoo are absolute shits when it comes to mail delivery. They literally will black hole addresses, domains and IP addresses with no recourse ever. The sending server will get a response code back of roughly "fuck you unti
