My thoughts exactly. PG just writing a fluff piece to try to get them a lil IPO pop.

Currently hung up on CDDA. Probably the most complicated hardcore game I've ever touched. Learning curve like a brick wall. Incredibly rewarding to master though. Really love that it's FOSS. I've got a bunch of scripts I

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 75% of sites with these vulns are still just hanging out there ready to be dumped, according to the end of this post? Insane. Some days I think one ought to be licensed to touch a computer.

>stop handing out all kinds of subsidies, welfare payments and other transfers. We can agree there as well. But unprecedented wealth accumulation at the top is not some mysterious magical force - it's what happens when we stop taxi

The Fed's biggest problem is a gridlocked congress and a categorical reluctance to take money out of existence at the rate it needs to be (e.g. tax the rich). It's tantamount to trying to fly a hot air balloon. You might be able

I don't necessarily disagree. But you get what you pay for. These public institutions typically put out bids for projects and take the lowest one. Incentives matter and these types of organizations are incentivizing the production o

Or something like Kagi. Nobody will pay for it now because of what spez has done during his most recent tenure, but there was a point in time where I truly think turning it into a paid service was viable. I've been on the site since 2

Absolutely. I'm not trying to dump on them. It may not have come through with my choice of verbiage, but there's something romantic (in the aesthetic sense) and admirable about what they've done and their attitudes. That k

Cool project and write up. An aside - while I love the snark and making fun of these "legacy" systems, it has given me a window into my own maturity as an engineer. I was absolutely this cavalier and cocky about poorly implemente

Yep. Pretty much any kind of wear and tear part that is on an EV wears worse compared to a similarly powerful ICE. It's probably a wash or better because they don't use petroleum products for propulsion, but it is definitely a t

This is fairly surprising and indeed, alarming. They've been in the game forever . If anyone should be able to do basic functions of their company, it should be them. I wonder how much value has been extracted in the name of efficie

Yes, this is called enshittification. It has absolutely been the game plan for the past 15 years or so.

I don't think this lesson is getting lost accidentally, but intentionally. There was a brief moment in the late 00's/early 10's where companies were creating these rich web API's that would let you (and other servi

False dichotomy. I like "T-shaped" engineers. Someone with a breadth of experience that is an expert in a small subset.

I don't know if this is true, but I certainly hope it is. That whole PPP thing is one of the biggest upward transfers of wealth this country has ever seen. Disgusting.

This is pretty funny because the front end team at my company decided last year to migrate from Vue to React because Vue is too complicated and it's hard to find people who know it vs React. Impossible for me to get a read on this stu

I see. I guess there's two components - prioritization for loadshedding, and knowing how to actually turn things off to shed the load. You're saying k8s makes the latter very easy, and it was actually about that latter exercise

And what if you only have 33% of your nominal cluster capacity available because the AC goes out in your server room? Now which containers should your cluster stop running? You haven't actually solved anything with this, you've ju

In the MS ecosystem they have the SSDT data tools and unit test projects. It uses the designer functionality of VS to allow you to write your arrange, act, and teardown in pure SQL, and gives some basic condition builders for result sets t

Yup. When I get frustrated I just take a deep breath and then remember how relatively easy and well compensated this career is compared to just about anything else - for me, anyway.

Seems like if you do this over and over and over again under different brands - say on like a staggered Decade schedule - you optimize your profits, milking as much out of your market as possible while severely cutting cost and quality and

web3 is the moniker these crypto-zealots use for their crypto-currency-all-the-things efforts. It secondarily has connotations of decentralization with stuff like Mastodon, but relatively few people care about that stuff.

Would like to read more about these menaces and the reasons for the government's refusal. Do you have any articles or blogs or even other comments you could link me to to read more about this?
