I'm curious, why is that? I've heard that sentence before but usually from people who want to write their own task system and end up partially implementing what celery implements just worse. Celery is large and complex now and edg

I think about it in the following way; lifting weights is good for your body and strength but muscles grow during the recovery phase. If you don't add in recovery days, your muscles will not be happy and injury is right around the corn

As a non-native English speaker living in AU, I can offer my opinion in case it's helpful. Of course I can't speak to the person you mentioned but if you said what you did with respect and courtesy then they probably would've

If you care to elaborate, it would be interesting to know what change made the link no longer unhealthy.

So for Australia, what can someone do? I don't believe that regulation these days can stand against corporate interests. I have seen this happen many times already. So what can I as a consumer do? The two practical options seem to be e

Unfortunately, that's been the reality in most places where I was engaged to maintain a platform. Usually in-experienced developers do this and it just sticks and the list keeps growing and tech debt increasing until the whole thing is

Interesting and still going through the article but I thought a lot of the metals would come from Africa. Somewhere like the Congo. I read a few articles a few years ago about how the conflict there was being fed by the multinationals that

A similar thing happened around 2 years ago that, from memory, affected the trains and 000(the Aussie 911 equivalent).

Yes, a similar thing happened for the major outage prior to this. The same thing is happening for the many data breaches that are occurring. It is never the decision maker's fault, always some poor employee that doesn't get a chan

I use orgmode within emacs. Be careful that if you go down this rabbit hole, it can consume a lot of your time if you let it. I eventually stopped trying to optimize my productivity when I discovered it became another form of procrastinatio

I don't know if anything is winning. I do have my preferences and others have theirs. I can tell you that reading on a tablet and reading on a phone are distinct experiences, even for text-only material. Looking around, the younger gen

You're not the only person, but it depends on what it is I'm trying to do. Reading on a phone for example is possible but it's a struggle due to smaller screens. Trying to write anything besides a few words for a short email

That's a good question that I sometimes ask myself. But if you want the money, you have to do what it takes. There's a limit of course and lines that I do not cross(illegal, unethical etc). There were plenty of times where I had t

I wonder if COBOL projects these days, being brownfield by nature, are less political and stressful than brownfield web development projects.

Might be a good idea, though word of mouth and networking is how I get work and SEO has stopped being a useful avenue for a project pipeline quite a while back.

There's definitely a lot of politics involved in such projects. So I've learned that a break is necessary between major engagements to decrease the risk of burnout. The environment that creates "rescue" projects is usual

They would try to hire and/or build the team they need to move forward, if they have the money. Knowledge is usually not the problem, it is the shortcuts(or short-term decisions) that got them to a place where they can no longer operat

I have been taking on "rescue" projects for a while through my business. Previously, the barely-functioning code was usually being generated via outsourcing agencies but it seems the new source is now going to be LLMs. I imagine i

I'm guessing it is due to the advice that getting a job is a "numbers game". When I was hiring somewhat recently, I talked to a worryingly high number of people that didn't know what role they're applying to, had pe

After noticing people I know use an LLM service, I was thinking that people are routinely sharing a lot of private information with these services that would be a goldmine for advertisers(or worse). With search engines, if you search for so

Nothing against Fedora and the rpm-based platforms but I prefer the debian-derived distros. My preference is due to Debian feeling like a community project rather than being driven by corporate interests. Ubuntu was doing for a while but th

In my experience, corporate users have moved on to using containers(or VMs) for their development environments. It's a tricky thing to solve. One the one hand, you don't want your system to stop working due to an update but also w

Installed trixie a few days ago and test driving it and it's been going very well. Coming from Ubuntu so it wasn't a big change but initially I went with Ubuntu many years ago due to its reputation in making Debian a more user-fri

There's a part I didn't understand. How did the model know which companies are vulnerable to attack? I get the part where the LLM was used to analyze documents and create "malicious" software but the biggest missing step

My feelings exactly. For a while I thought I was missing out and then I started learning how(and why) it works and I thought it was interesting but greatly over-hyped, exactly like bitcoin was. I tried to follow the hype and generate an app

No problem. Now that you mention it, I find it incredible that many people I know wouldn't be able to tell how much they're spending on what. Not even ballpark it. This is the first thing to start with and is incredibly easy to do

Sure, I wouldn't advise taking any expensive vacations or anything of that nature. But what caught my attention were the terms "pants-on-fire emergency" and "I would be interviewing 24/7". I mean I get it would

Yeah, that's closer to my understanding as well. Not necessarily retirement but a few years of runway perhaps. The 6-12 months thing I've always seen being called an "emergency fund" which in turn is different to your sa

To be clear, I am agreeing with you. Except that me saying the amount is dependent on your situation is leaving some margin for if your child is special needs or you're going through a divorce or taking care of elderly parents or thing
