You are straw-manning by quoting half of my post though. On the team, "people without children" are the minority. We do have member s on the team with disabled elders, elders requiring care, disabled children. Lifestock even. We d

I think being in the office together with a plan is a good tool to use, but you need to use it well. Just yell at people to be in the office for 2 days per week for no reason? Meh. Why? Organize a week to have all local and international em

This is something I found worrying, tbh. With tempered glass, firefighters heading for a vehicle accident attach glass breakers on a string to their gloves. That way, they can pull a person out of a car in 20 seconds if the immediate danger

Mh, I'm neither a Neurologist, nor any level of good at being a musician. But it goes further than that. Now after a few years, I start to recognize patterns in songs and this removes a huge amount of cognitive overhead. For example, t

And that's what I'm getting at, and where I'd like the community to improve in discussions. In what context do you need it, and how much, and what would your alternatives be? Because, the amount of different contexts linux is

Interesting. What are the legitimate use cases to not treat /proc as readonly, and what are legitimate use cases to mount around and especially bind-mount random filesystems around in /proc? Like, my first impulse is "Why do

Mh. I'm treating too many things like chess, but in chess, intuition of very competent players tends to be deep pattern recognition. This kind of positive or constructive intuition in a concrete context warrants analysis imo. This anal

Ah, I mis-remembered / brain farted a 9 in there. Yet, a promise of 99.95% or 20 minutes of downtime, or having 20 minutes of interruptions and downtime / month are still a wild difference.

We've started to note these wont-fixes down as risks and started talking about probability and impact of these. That has resulted in good and realistic discussions with people from other departments or higher up. Like, sure, people wit

Hence why I am rather looking if two pieces of code change together, opposed to just looking the same. If I need to introduce the same feature in multiple places in roughly the same way, that's a decent indication code wants to be the

You usually do this with servers that should be rock-solid and stateless. HAProxy, Traefik, F5. That way, you can pull the DNS record for maintenance 24 - 48 hours in advance. If something overrides DNS TTLs that much, there is probably som

Mh. I know Linux and SELinux. SELinux has a severe documentation issue. Like, as a user, once you grok filesystem, port and process tags, it's easy to navigate most if not all common "strange" SELinux errors. After that I fig

That is another very interesting part of complexity theory, yeah. Like, "Constant time" means, "Runtime independent from input". And, well, solving any sudoku of size 9 or less is a constant times 6.6e21. Maybe a bit mor

Hm. The biggest problem there are the definition of "diagonal" and "box". I mean non-square sudokus are still in NP. If a solution can be validated in polynomial time, a problem is in NP. And to validate a (x, y) sized s

I've been through this with a broken finger joint. I don't know if I'm a smooth talker or she remembered me as non-problematic, but the MFA at the clinic quite frankly told me: Don't try to go there without an urgent eme

Correct, if the complexity guys talk about NP-complete sudoku, it's always about solving Sudokus of an arbitrary, but fixed and finite size. The problem class of "Solve an arbitrary Sudoku of Size 9" might even be constant ru

This is pretty much the framework I teach admins at work: - What impact does the change have? - How do you get out of that change, and how long does that take? - And what is your confidence into the change, and the bail-out plan? And honest

I very much agree with this. If I have a structured code base, I understood the patterns and the errors to look out for, something like copilot is useful to bang out code faster. Maybe the frameworks suck, or the language could be better to
