That's a brilliant idea. /dev/null as a service. Charge per byte.

Well we still need to handle AWS losing a region and hardware replacement. Does happen quite regularly.

Docker only solves problems if you have a technology stack that's full of problems.

Pretty accurate. Everything I've seen that doesn't scale only doesn't because it was written by idiots who read lots of blog posts about scalability. I'm still convinced we could run our entire software platform off 5 EC

Wanna bet? Vendors just used to mail you new EPROMs or send you the hex file.

Templating YAML is up there with putting lead in gas and invading Ukraine. It instantly turns me into an expletive spouting rage infested monkey. And yes let’s not even get into the state of off the shelf charts.

I’m on windows 11 and haven’t actually noticed any yet. I’m not sure if that’s because I’m immune to all forms of advertising or I turned something off though.

What?!?! Most of the userland is C and we're still finding gaping holes in it after decades. As for the API, the entire permissions system is just a shit show (inflexible, setgid hack, no MAC, terrible ACL implementation), ioctl (hack

Top three bits of pain from me: 1. Constant weak reparsing of formats in shell pipelines. 2. Completely dangerous and unsafe API and principal programming language. 3. Trying to remember several different domain specific languages.

I've seen that quote a thousand times and I disagree with it profusely. After 30 years of it now on my part, I know we can and should do better. And that does mean reinventing it, not being resigned to the status quo.

Lets be clear here. They were only tested on some developer's fast machine on Chrome. All the users are going to be using it on some bag of shit $300 laptop running crapware infested Edge so they will be suffering like your Firefox use

Wow that's a whole lot of ire, rivalling some other large tech firms. Definitely worth investigating. I consider Cloudflare to be an annoyance generally but I hadn't put it in context to what they ultimately have control over.

Quite frankly you're extremely unusual. As much as I sound cynical here, the only reason we use open source stuff in our production SaaS is because we don't have to raise a purchase order to get it or go through the whole onboardi

No one in my company ever replies to any emails therefore it is now a notification system only that no one bothers to read anyway. What I need is a Slack bot that does what you want now. Slack is the electronic equivalent of shoulder tappin

I haven’t had a single PC with windows 11 pro on that the built in product key doesn’t work with windows 10 pro. YMMV.

The UI is fairly consistent now. Certainly better than windows 10. But yes tracking, monetising and marketing the shit out of people, no thanks! Hardly worthy of the Pro moniker when you see that.

My daughter’s one does the same for ref. Which CPU does yours have in it. Ours are both 3700U. The issue is related to Radeon and power management. That’s as far as I got with debugging before my crushed soul put windows back on it so I cou

There isn’t always a solution on Linux. I’ve hit a few things over the years where I’ve hit a wall and got stuck. On two occasions I fixed it myself and submitted patches and got entirely ignored. The bot closing your ancient PR that the ma

I’m saying that everyone shouts switch to Linux but this isn’t an option for a lot of people and isn’t even likely the best solution for most. Most of the commercial apps have no viable alternatives on Linux or the open source market gap fi

See my last edit. 22.04 LTS on a ThinkPad T495s Ryzen. Hangs after 2-3 minutes. Absolutely no issues on Windows. Last updated about 2-3 weeks ago. This is the hilarious thing: https://ubuntu.com/certified/201906-27170

I disagree. I've tried Linux on the desktop over and over and over again from about 1997 and there's just problems with it all over the place. I have used it on the server for the same period. The desktop environment for a start h

I used to be annoyed about this until I experienced the tail end of Windows XP and Windows 7 in the financial services market. I've seen things that would make any sysadmin out there cry. I mean I'm still annoyed yet as a power u

I had this with a VSTO MSI package I was developing a few years back. Had to submit samples to Microsoft who whitelisted it fairly quickly. This was an EV signed package. Only components packaged were Microsoft provided!

Yep. I’ve got an iPhone 13 Pro. Sometimes it absolutely mutates images to the point they are unusable. Bought a Nikon z50 because this was annoying me. Shooting JPEGs and it does a vastly better job and it will still go in my pocket with th

My one. I walked into the office once when we had the cable monkeys in and the DLT drives and server pile was covered in plaster dust where they had been drilling above it. Both drives died within a month. Had to replace them and all the ta
