All of this. I despair with some of the takes on basic technology being hard. And when you try to defend understanding just the most rudimentary things, you're labeled a problem because you should just be paying out the nose for the se

I have difficulty remembering ten numbers, why do I have to say 1-212-487-1965 when I can just say Santa Rosita 71965? Maybe we should have just done another exchange name and added another name. Eg Hawthorne Santa Rosita 71965. I know its

“We can’t possibly afford to do this. It doesn’t make sense! What if we pay for all of this training and they leave?” “What if you don’t and they stay?” These companies think they can just reap all of the rewards without any investment, it’

Man, I sound like a broken record, but... Love that for them. How many more outages until people start to see that farming out every aspect of their operations maybe, might, could have a big effect on their overall business? What's the

Unless these sites are your personal pages, oftentimes these decisions to use cloudflare or not are made by the business and money and risk people, not by the operations and other technically-minded employees. They see every other site usin

Oh no, we can’t take a (former) executive to task about what they’ve wrought with their influence!!! That would be wrong. If anything, he should be the first to be blamed for the greater and greater effect this tech monster has on internet

Love that for them. Congrats on building such a re-centralized web!

Similar to my experience doing low-level systems work, being prodded by a "manager" with a fifth of my experience. No, I'm not going to implement something you heard about from a candidate in an interview, an individual whom

Do these dweebs ever let up on huffing their own farts? I can only hope that the actual measurements of their declining platform influence and use are true and we see FB peter out at some point. Sadly, it'll be replaced by something ev

Sounds like ADHD. Perhaps talk to a therapist before you tear your family apart from this disordered thinking. No job is worth it. None. Zero.

I had nearly the same reaction to the headline, I feel like they’re hitting a wall in terms of the things they can innovate on in house and are flailing and are looking for the next hit, in more ways than one. This is just a suggestion of t

Yes, I’m sure the original comment had unpaved surfaces, for example, in mind when they wrote that, and not heavily traveled corridors shared by all types, like I-5, or something like the stretch of I-95 between Philly and NYC, one of the b

Why are you -not- angry at all of this insanity? I feel the same way as him, hype has blown the bubble bigger and bigger, and it's just a matter of time until it poops out and causes huge amounts of pain.

Not... really? It's no more difficult than finding the correct buffer sizes for nginx, or finding the correct sizes for the ebpf connection table tracking map if you're using cilium on k8s, or kernel tcp buffers or any other other

Please no. Most idiots on the road can barely handle two dimensions, let alone a third.

> 10% heavier so the battery can be replaceable will put a lot of strain on our roads No it won't. Road wear scales as the fourth power [0] in relationship to axle load, so even a modest increase in weight is still hugely outweighed

Same, but in the hundreds of thousands monthly and growing at steady clip, and AWS extending credits worth -millions-, just to keep them there because their margins are so fat and juicy they can afford that insane markup. That's where

Hosting a database is no different than self-hosting any other service. This viewpoint hath what cloud wrought, this atrophying of the most basic operational skills, as if running these magic services are only achievable by the hyperscalers

Tell me you've never done compliance work without telling me you've never done compliance work. What, specifically, about the above do you take issue with? These are all issues I've seen personally and up close.

Absolutely wild. Sounds like there were organizational problems where the correct technically-minded people weren't invited into the vendor eval process for that "insurance" provider, nor were they given the ability to push b

Then I will dead pan tell you to engage a second provider. I will also tell you to have your corporate IT people ring me so we can do some remedial IPv6 training.

When did the post that I was responding to say anything about upgrades? The comment was about greenfield projects. I reiterate my point: if in a -greenfield- project you're not building IPv6 native, you're negligent. Get up on you

Agree 100%. There is no excuse other than "v6 addressing and subnetting is haaaard". It makes most things a lot easier than its v4 counterparts. I'd go so far as to say not deploying v6 is actively negligent.

I'm not op, but thanks for this. Like I mentioned in another comment, the wholesale move to the cloud has caused so many skills to become atrophied. And it's good that someone is starting to exercise that skill again, like you sai

This concern troll that everyone trots out when anyone brings up running their own gear is just exhausting. The hyperscalers have melted people’s brains to a point where they can’t even fathom running shit for themselves. Yes, drives are go

If anyone is curious, as I was, about the large red shapes on the map, those are the beams of the object tracking/measurement sites. They correlate with the maps at [0]. I was actually pretty blown away when I started reading that page
