Came here for this, wasn't disappointed.

I see-- no problem, thank you. I thought it was just user error or a UI bug because of this comment: > 90k records across 7,700 stations since January.

I think the FIRE crowd is even more likely to fall into this trap than the average wage slave. In addition to finding meaning in their day job, they're also more likely to forego short-term costs (like recreation/socialization&#x2

What we've lost in social media just makes me so sad. I hate that reels/stories have become the "new" way of sharing things (over the past 10 years). I took a trip to Yosemite last weekend and took the (rare) opportunity

see my comment about shopping for a used Macan, and avoiding 2022+ with the haptic BS.

I'm looking at buying a used Porsche Macan. Through 2021 they were absolute button-fests, with a console absolutely littered with physical buttons. In 2022, they moved to a piano black console with haptic "buttons". It also s

Yep. I've been able to use the "wrong" (but still valid) expiration date on my AmEx for a long time. I've had other credit cards where the autopay info was never updated and it just kept working for at least 6 months.

I have not. I'm not sure what this does for me. My ONT is not an optional expense and I'm not bothered by using cat6 here.

Could be negative! All it shows is that Uber is probably incentivizing token usage just like so many other companies are. You get what you measure.

Many companies actively hide the cost from their employees.

It does, actually. I dismissed it originally because I don't need most of the capacity, but considering I have no 10GbE copper ports available, and my home is being remodeled and I'm running some new ethernet to the other side of

We had an interesting architecture situation at work. Puppet Enterprise uses a single Postgres server. The company had moved from a recommendation of using a single PuppetDB API node (which fell over at high load) to running a PuppetDB API

I'm surprised they got a reliable 10Gbps USB adapter. I've tried 3 of them and they're all trash. They cannot sustain multi-gigabit speeds and end up doing like 400Mbps when you hit them hard. I think I have sabrent and ugree

Yeah, my home is cat5e (I think!) and I was only able to get 2.5 or 5Gbps to my _single_ 10GbE capable machine I had at the time. So I ended up just buying a switch that supports 2.5Gbps over copper since it's such a huge expense to st

by rconti 6mo ago
Yeah, 10GbE-over-copper switches are SO expensive. I bought a Ubiquiti enterprise switch for my home; 10Gb uplink and the copper ports are split between 2.5G and 1G. It's fine because only 1 or 2 clients can even talk 10G, and those ar

Right, but for example my fiber ONT only has an rj45 port so I'm stuck using one of these for the link to my UDM Pro. The router and my core switch use cheap DACs.

Of course you do, your comment is just clickbait. Here's why: | I don't actually see this as a problem Okay, go on, perhaps you have an interesting point | and instead it's a PSA everyone needs to internalize If it's not

Doesn't fit in a rail car, at least not when paired with a walkway, and a counter/bar, and a kitchen?

Huh. I'm a successful person in my mid 40s, just a year or two behind you. Objectively things are going great. However, my perspective has gotten a lot worse the last couple of years. Enshittification, corporate consolidation, tech mar

Weird. I worked near a Palantir office in 2017 and I remember thinking it would be "morally challenging" to work there. 9 years later, it's just becoming apparent?

Well also the desert southwest is still relatively sparsely populated, so rooftop solar won't show up as much on a map like this. Plus their power is cheap(er) than CA. But yeah, you'd expect some bigger utility-scale installation

Texas looks _almost_ as underserved by solar as AZ/NM in that map, TBH.

I don't have that _particular_ problem, but I often gripe about how no website seems to be able to remember that I've used this device before ... ... and only briefly pause to wonder if it's because of all the anti-cookie, an

I guess maybe I'm thinking of how the traditional DBA role seems to have significantly declined (at least, from where I sit). Maybe because that work is being pushed to the devs :)

Wow, this is 2021? Feels like 2014. SQL, getting a new job in 2 weeks, etc.
