I think it's that few people can see its potential. When I first started using immutable infra like 10 years ago, and saw how many problems it solved, my mind was blown. Until I saw the difference myself, it just looked like some trivi

The one thing I want, that doesn't exist, and won't for at least 10 years: immutable infrastructure. Oh, the concept exists. I can make some infrastructure mostly-immutable, myself. But the cloud doesn't give me it out of

This has happened to me, except there was a couple looking at the same car on the lot, and they didn't try to negotiate, they just took the higher price, while I was negotiating. So by the time I got the lower price it had been sold. I

Not sure who needs to hear this, but you can buy a nearly new car used and save 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost. One big benefit is you let somebody else find out if new models are lemons. Another benefit is you don't need to haggle,

Fwiw, for being outside in extended downpours, the best rain coverings are short ponchos and rain skirts. You stay dry but there's plenty of ventilation so you never get sweaty. I make them out of garbage bags. Only costs a few pennies

LLMs literally just place words one in front of another based on a probability and the "goodness" of training data. Of course it's going to make stuff up.

Everybody thinks their dog and/or child is a genius. But I've had a lot of dogs. Even within the same litter, some are bright, and some are dumber than a box of hammers. If your dog is smart, that's great, but your next one o

The only parts of movies or TV that this will be useful for is non-character-driven filler that doesn't move the plot along. It will be great for things like action scenes and car chases, or staring wistfully at the ocean. But they sti

Doesn't that kind of prove they're messed up, if no other USB cable works?

Occam's razor says it's none of those things. The simplest explanation is somebody just fat-fingered a change, which happened to coincide with a lot of other things to result in a big outage. Happens all the time.

Leaky brain. Well that's terrifying, how would one treat that?

"A Verizon spokesman reached by CNBC said there was no issue with the Verizon network and their customers are only impacted if they try to reach out to the carrier experiencing the problem." Sounds like only one had an outage

What would you consider agency? The machines already decide for themselves what something is or isn't, and then tell a human, who might believe it or not. It's not really different than if a human made something up and told their

Yes, that's what their purpose is in cloud applications: temporary high performance storage only. If you want long term local storage you'll have to reserve an instance host.

Instance storage is not networked. That's why it's there.

I'm not sure when investors are going to get that tech bros are fleecing them for billions and not making anything that actually helps people or the world. It's like there's no adults in the room. Just bobble head monopoly me

I don't know if this is a wide phenomenon, but when I get angry or frustrated, my body temp skyrockets. I have to take off clothes I get hot so fast. Happens mostly when I'm working from home and getting pissed off at the computer

Lol, I haven't noticed software developers caring about security any more than they used to. 99% of them don't care, and 1% of them are responsible for 75% of secure code. Moreover, there is no consequence if they write insecure c

Nothing! Confluence is literally just a Wiki with a REST API and a hundred plugins. You could replace it with a different Wiki, but that won't have as much useful plugins and won't be integrated with the other Atlassian products.

Terrible experience for anyone who isn't already a contributor to that repo. Docs exist for people other than those that wrote them. The people that wrote them don't need to know the information, they already knew it.

The only valid reasons to hate Jira or Confluence are when you work for a company that has no governance structure for them. You do have to use the tools correctly for them to not suck. This is true of all tools. When you learn how they a

Most people end up doing carpentry/subcontracting to make ends meet. If you make very artistic or high concept pieces and can develop a following, that's a good way to make much better margins. A bit like selling paintings.
