So anyone that has lived in large Windows corporate IT land, a lot of decisions get made by people that aren't technical. Come to think of it, it's probably why a large majority of "hacks" happen to Windows machines; a highly technical team with a vulnerable OS will probably have the right security layers in place to mitigate this.

Absolutely anything? GitHub slowly became a standard through market share. Concourse CI is much better, in fact nearly anything is better than GitHub as it doesn't have first class container support.

I blame this on two things, technology and the financialization of everything.

Long ago places had large parks, outdoor swimming pools, cities became less of a place to live and more of an efficient use of space/money and thus the human aspect was removed.

Technology in the sense of games, twitter, chat, etc removes the superfical need for human contact but ruins real bonds with people

So what do you check for? Assuming things works because __linux__ == glibc + Linux leads to all sorts of fun

This sounds like openstack?

Low level how does this compare to Victoriametrics, you can get the high cardinality with clickhouse and other columnar dbs but the tradeoff is more ram usage, slower queries, io, etc

The issue is "physically demanding", look at the guys that are 50+ in the trades, they have all sorts of physical issues from working in the trades. I say this as someone who has two JM qualifications.

The issue imo with Gentoo is the compiler flag explosion, the giant case statement I had long ago for packages that would fail to compile on even simple standard -Werror= was huge.

Is there a reason almalinux or rockylinux wasn't used? I would except CERN to want first class Selinux support no?

Would you be able to put a payload into EEPROM with this?

This is like string functions, there are some variants with just crazy SIMD when the mean string length is ~14-20 bytes

> Junior and mid-level engineers will now require more senior engineers to sign off any AI-assisted changes, Treadwell added.

Beatings will continue until senior developers leave?

So, there is professional skills and then there is "soft skills" which at many places is a euphemism for political theatre. Nearly everyone I've ever met has professional skills; few can stomach "soft skills"

If anyone was around for the dot-com bubble any company internet related or with a web like name was irrationally funded, P/E didn't matter, burn didn't matter, product didn't matter.

AI has all the same markers of a the dot com bubble and eventually venture capital will dry up and many AI companies will go bust with a few remaining that make something useful with an unmet niche.

Proper CI/CD for Gitops is actually really hard, how do you alert to failures that doesn't tie you to a specific provider and follows an alert chain? How do you chain dependent Gitops pipelines without coding a giant pipeline mess? How do you do healthchecks in a portable manner on what is deployed without giving the CI/CD runners basically global root?.. and on and on and on, this is all solved by Fluxcd or Argocd.

The whole business model of cloud providers is to charge a premium for their ecosystem and to create lock-in by making everything interdependent. A Kubernetes deployment could cost 100k/yr a similar cloud deployment would be ~1m/yr.

Have you worked at an organization without RFCs, ADRs, etc? The alternative is really just the wild west and whatever politics or pull a person has. RFCs and ADRs are good in the sense that they document _something_ even if the document is junk it's better than an assumption.

Really though it's the organization (and people) that makes or breaks anything.

It's strange organizations want to push users off of a minor $100/yr/user cost when there are many other ways to save money that don't involve making a power user useless for years.

Use helm to generate the manifests with a Makefile, use Kustomize to change said manifests for prod, staging, etc.

I just want prettier default diagrams in d2, the default theme (and other ones) is a hard sell to orgs where management isn't technical. Something similar to the Obsidian diagram theme

I recently looked into this at it looks like the IETF(?) RFC draft for SSH3 was abandoned? It's great this exists but I think the standard needs to be done as well.

This would be my personal hell, let me just read n files of AI slop from the CEO.

What I don't understand is why not use what I've seen in industrial processes? Why not a low boiling point liquid and a heat exchanger? Or even better power a turbine like biogas plants do

It's because of their target, they target corporate non-technical IT where the end users have no idea of what they actually want but want it all integrated, badly, and it all works brilliantly for Microsoft as feature x is $y/mo.

This is more than enough to prop them up. More often then not the consultee already has a plan even if the plan is horrendous the consulting company is there to insulate management from any fallout (read incompetence).

Sadly the time when an org wanted people to excel and really grow at is over, the new normal is peak capitalism of maximizing value.

People develop relationships with coworkers, you care if someone has issues, you're happy if a solution makes customers/coworkers happy but none of that matters to the lawnmower, it just mows lawns.

Sam Altman complaining about "unethical" corporate behavior is pure gold

Why "Remember"? php-fpm is probably powering millions of sites right now.

I have first hand knowledge with large consultant companies, they are largely sales teams with minimal IT knowledge. I had to help a one of their overseas "senior cloud professional" that had issues even understanding how to navigate the cloud UI.

Just use `open_file_cache`?
