That’s neat how that’s been a standard feature of enterprise Linux for 20 years. They call them alt-packages and, even before a succession of environment juggling and subversion swapping, they worked really well.
(Still do, except all the people who knew how to figure dependencies have left RH. I’m looking at you, Ansible who will soon need containers for even client install)
Based on how often it happens, “curse and find whatever f’n tab is now making the noise” is my favourite game.
Fuck this “web as app” shit.
Get examined. Narcolepsy is a terrible thing. My friend couldn’t work late as she’d be prone to hallucination while driving. She’s better now with a good drug regimen and awareness but she reports being very frightened for a while.
Butbutbut AWS reliability and many regions and zones means this can’t happen! ;-)
I feel this in my midnight cursing and investigation.
I gotta get HAss going so I can still use my lights when the clowd breaks.
I presumed the draw of us-east-1 was its lower cost
At no time is pub-cloud cheaper than priv-cloud.
The draw is versatility, as change didn’t require spinning up hardware. No one knew how much the data costs would kill the budget, but now they do.
universal single point of failure.
If it’s not a region failure, it’s someone pushing untested slop into the devops pipeline and vaping a network config. So very fired.
I love the “git gud” response. Sacred cashcows?
You’re talking about the “95 percentile” rule, right?
This looks very nice.
Um, you know you’re supposed to keep dev tools in dev, right? Npm->commit->release payload without npm. Far fewer supply-chain exploits.
Bots eavesdropping? That’s a great way to see all the nerds dead silent on the mandated cam feeds except for the furious typing and occasional smirk. They’re probably working.
Still crutching on containers?
Can the dumber ones pass more quickly, please?
Totes mid, fr fr. Not fetch.
Systemd detects problematic software? Bit of pot-calling-the-kettle, there.
you use to have
You can’t use something in order to have it. Once you use it, it’s gone.
Is this the same America where words controlled the people who controlled the guns on 6January?
The Rwanda genocide wasn’t carried out with guns as the primary weapon. It was machetes and fire.
It’s only very rarely one-on-one like a movie gunfight.
Not if you use it correctly.
Ah! “Git gud” elitism to paper over the risk.
The issue still stands: what few seniors you still have at the shop who can tell people WHY something is a bad idea, are now distracted with juniors submitting absolute shit code for review and needing to be taught why that structure is a bad idea.
“Well everyone else is doing it” was a bad rebuttal when you wanted to go to Chuck’s party and Mom said no. Laundering “this is what everyone else writes” through an Ai concentrator when 2 generations of coders are self-taught and unmentored after the great post-y2k purge of mentors and writers, isn’t a better situation.
We’re still suffering from the skills lack after we fired our mentors and documentors after Y2K. We’ve been 20 years without proper mentorship already, and now the last of the mentors will leave the market to the lost boys.
