For a 1% return? Hardly worth it. As for the app, I don't want my phone polluted with even more crap. If I had a corporate loyalty app for every shop I wanted to go in, I'd have a hundred apps, a hundred data collection problems a

I certainly wouldn't install an app to go shopping at a specific store to obtain specific advantages. No company deserves loyalty through a scheme like this. Only through decent customer service and reasonable pricing. As for shopping

That's the impression they want to give you. The non-clubcard prices are significantly higher than Waitrose, Asda and Sainsburys.

Waitrose is considerably cheaper than Tesco without a clubcard.

I decided fuck 'em and went to Asda instead.

Perhaps they can stop ripping off their customers as well? They have introduced a new clubcard pricing system which means you are penalised heavily for not having one. To have one you have to opt into data collection. We're not talking

It doesn’t though. I just did a cost projection on our estate and hiring two engineers to look after it on bare metal VMs is 30% cheaper than using the managed service. Plus it doesn’t require a lot of maintenance so we can use those guys o

I’m deploying it (prom, alertmanager, pushgateway, grafana) on native hardware via ansible and it’s not difficult. Not Loki (yet). It’s all just go binaries you fire up with systemd with a single config file. I find it harder to deploy reli

Oh great. One more reason I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight. Other people’s automation scares me. I’m sure mine scares other people as well.

I'm already arguing with our CSO about this on Slack!

I need this now.

I reckon Apple are working on a solution there...

Yeah that’s like one chrome tab running slack.

I'm avoiding brew/docker myself on my main desktop as I've screwed it up a couple of times doing that before. Thus I fire up a t2.small in AWS to test docker images on. My local box is VSCode, Terraform, aws cli, Go, Python e

When that iMac drops I'm going to grab it instantly. I am already allocating budget.

Yep. But these days for anything else, I just fire up a cloud VM and kill it when it's done. I spent less on that than the 3900X and RAM would have cost me in 5 years. My main daily driver machine and dev box is now the absolute ass en

I'm doing that too. I am waiting for Vagrant to install Windows :)

Realistically about an hour a day of truly productive work. The rest is eaten up with unproductive zoom meetings (I'm on one now as I post this), dealing with development tooling falling over and waiting for things. Terrible efficiency

Every time you turn left it costs you one corporate coin. To get an engine you have to get the right loot box.

Just generally they spent the last 10 years cramming so much crap into the outlook desktop client that it’s horrible to use. The web client is better than the desktop one now. Rest of office is pretty good. Do not worry about this. It works

For me it’s usually complaining about what the fuck shit they have done to outlook. It’s like a train in Mumbai at rush hour these days.

I just delete stuff regularly. If you don’t own it you don’t have to organise it.

Walk away regularly and do something else

They’ve basically found a way to steal what’s left in the account. That’s all this is. There’s probably tens of thousands of accounts that people got locked out of or abandoned with money in and this lets them steal it.

Yes. Plenty. Also not many people pay $100. There’s a thriving second hand market for much less. When the TI83 was the calculator I’d actually buy 100 or so for low price at start of summer (large surplus), spend two weeks clean and refur

I think your position is unrealistic for an education setting. You’re proposing working computers and smartphones for every desk and student. Computers and apps are not standardised at all. Disparity between them and compatibility issues ar

It's not better. It's just less scary for the CxO class.
