The whole thing is basically parasitic in nature, and would de without and banking system behind it. The value is hiding money, the motivation is mostly committing crime, fraud, etc. The majority is owned by conservative people willing to s

Nope, we are talking about Europe.

I lived in capitalism for 50 years. I’ve seen hyper capitalism reduce or remove education, devalue income and Labor, force people to work two or three jobs to survive barely. That’s in a western society where capitalism is supposed to work.

Because it puts the power into the hands of a ruling class which takes everything? Yeah, it’s like real communism not like the theories…

At the price of putting someone else into starvation which you ignored…

It seems like you are comparing to hyper capitalism taking over the internet and reduction of value for money spent, which would be appropriate for ChatGPT since it basically ushers in the area of paying a lot for zero value. Streaming and

Bitcoin just like capitalism is a horrible failure making life worse for humanity and no proof exists it made anything better. Both accelerate the destruction of the planet and humanity. It’s ridiculous to claim any of this is good just bec

If you speak Thai and do it via LINE messenger you get a much cheaper price though. Pricing seems to be inflated for foreigners.

Here is a quick one: old MacBooks run modern Linux just fine. You can run something like Proxmox on both and you suddenly have room for a few virtual machines running whatever you like.

The toys thing is exactly that. It is highly disrespectful and demeaning. And you keep on returning to this as if it was good when in reality it is signalling how low you actually value engineers. Maybe you just do not see it? IMHO respect

Still waiting for generated content to legally not be copyright able at all. IMHO only move that makes sense. Also refusing to call this AI. All of this is light years away from AI.

This article is a good example who managers look down on engineering in general. It’s all about placating engineers as kids who love their fun. It’s one thing to make engineers feel respected, but as this article nicely demonstrates the aut

This is a great loss. APU was my favourite system to bootstrap infrastructure in my home and labs because it was powered by coreboot and runs Linux out of the box, and also is one of the few low powered devices which still would outperform

Built MaNGOS in 2004/2005 with a bunch of other people as the first Open Source World of Warcaft server. Over the years it was the biggest project on Github for a while, even trumping projects like Ruby on Rails in forks and at some po

This I disagree with a lot. Ansible does have a lot of unfinished playbooks out there or half baked ones. But there is solid documentation there which makes it pretty clear how to properly design things. Have a feeling people just don'

Companies should not be allowed to pay you less for remote work, since you shoulder the costs of work for office, energy, etc. Why should employees pay for saving money for the company?

terraform state mv is working for this but yeah, a migration path in some defined way would certainly be preferred.

Add an secrets provider to avoid having secrets in state files to that list.

This works even without the depends_on property. All you need to is have the module you use for creating the cluster have an output that is guaranteed to be a computed property. Then use that computed property as input variable for whatever

Those are really cute! You can optimize these a bit more using the Kraken.io web interface: https://kraken.io/web-interface Tried with a few and it shrinks them down ten to 20 percent savings without losing quality.

That's not gentrification, see any dictionary. That's just enforcing existing laws in many countries. Many countries have laws that state that owned properties have to be maintained. It's just not enforced, so you can increas

Why don't we just couple rent and also house value increases to regular maintenance and improvements? No value increase unless you keep at least original state and improve on it. Apply to any house older than 20 years, and a giant bu

That is a horribly wrong view point. Information required for business purposes, e.g. to write invoices or file taxes is considered user information you are fine to retain. It's not about not having information, it's about having

Exactly what I was referring to. The whole business is broken, it is merely a bet on removing worker rights in the long run and that is what it is valued for.

Step 1: sabotage any worker rights established by pushing workers into freelance/self-employed work. Step 2: keep the money for labour costs in your pocket and become a unicorn because people with cash want to bet on the removal of wor

This article is quite far off from reality. Germany does have many rules and regulations and looks like citizens want law and order. The reality is quite different: Germans want others to behave in order, and as soon as you stop looking at

Probably because we all use Kubernetes and YAML files and 100% of configuration failures are "oh shit, I used two spaces instead of 4, we're fucked".

Only one thing to add: Tech debt is accrued in amounts where every VC fund would get wet pants if tech debt was worth dollars paid out.

Or we just managed to construct the biggest circular dependency ever using the whole internet and a combination of all hyped languages and frameworks. That would in turn lead to an insanely fragile system with increasing amounts of failures

As a long term customer here is a small suggestion to make this fail-safe: by default do trust your customers, and just ask them first instead of shooting them down first. Considering you have been marketing yourself as the platform for dev
