:-) Cool. I guess I assumed you were deploying overly complicated glorified CRUD apps like (most of) the rest of us. So what do you use for comms during high impact incidents? Are you all in the same room?

Haven't been involved in realtime shit-hits-the-fan ops for some time now (phew). Are devops/SRE/etc people using voice comms these days during high impact incidents or is text (irc/slack/etc) still preferred?

About 15 years ago I found myself in charge of building/growing/running a team in response to a product that was growing insanely. That growth went on for a decade. I did the gardener thing, handling "each plant" differe

If architecturally possible, make things end-to-end encrypted. Make the clients open source. Make some relevant part of the server open source.

How much are you willing to pay me? I'll also accept a percentage of your future salary as for sure Sr Prompt Engineer for literally any FAANG. (Yes, this is a joke.)

Make some sick dope ass prompts. Then you'll get a $200k job as Sr Prompt Engineer.

But have they built dolpin-gpt, or even dolphin-tcp? (You could argue they have something like dolpin-udp.)

Feedback: The homepage ( https://hurl.dev/ ) doesn't really make it clear - is this an interactive tool or not? If I understand it correctly, you're supposed to save that example as a file and run 'hurl example

I don't think there's any 4D chess going on, they are just being stupid. Again. For complicated reasons that we cannot fathom, obviously.

Very few Windows users agree. They always claim they'll do weird things to Windows, and then they always backtrack. It's this odd self-harm theme thing they have been doing for the past two decades or so. I wouldn't worry.

Such utter bullshit. Socialist hero Lula's Brazil doesn't support Ukraine, it supports China, which supports Russia. That's all there is to it.

Korean age-counting has been very weird. Under the age system most commonly used in South Koreans' everyday life, people are deemed to be a year old at birth and a year is added every January 1, rather than on their actual birthday

Don't most people wear their watch on the, eh, non-dominant hand? (Which indeed came up there.) Perhaps Apple could still tell, though, if they really wanted to.

"Forecaster" here means any rando who signs up to their service and answers a question. Sometimes a large polling number does not equal a more accurate answer.

Microsoft has always been horrible at building web-based products. Recently they are also horrible at building Windows-based products. And at building Windows. But VSCode is okay, for now!

WinGPT seems to prepend every user prompt with: You are a friendly but concise chat bot. Answer all questions in the present tense as if it is 1992, and make no reference to the current year.
