Their phone virtual-keyboards enrage me. I just can’t take them any more.
My latest day-job employer has made the switch from Apples (and s20fe) to pixels. The staff - mainly nerds - is actually generally pleased with the switch.
If the embarrassment that is Purolator (our national postal service offshoot courier ‘service’) was adequate last week, not only would they break a 20-year streak but also I’d’ve had my shiny company pixel by now and could pepsi-challenge it against my wife’s shiny new company iphone.
Fast, and easy to edit. It was a fantastic start page.
Russia […] made a realistic proposal for a ceasefire just a few days ago. Germany[,] along with the rest of the West[,] immediately rejected it.
“Let us have some of what we stole” isn’t a solution for a peace that lasts. You should be allowed to know better than this.
Only one country can stop the belligerent invasion of this sovereign nation, and Germany isn’t it. The only way that’s going to happen is through absolutely massive and cruel sanctions and trade blockage.
Enough is enough.
Capitulating to the monster paying your salary isn’t really a choice. The people of Moldova, Georgia, Lithuania and Romania, among others, need the invasion stopped and reparations imposed or they know they’ll be next.
Immediately thought the skeptics would say something like “any journo not paid by the IDF cannot be counted on to deliver the news the IDF wants and is therefore a threat to IDF morale”, or something like that, to justify shooting these negative elements.
I’m sure the real cognitive dissonance will sound something like that.
$100k is supposed to be a lot? Really?
It’s definitely more than. 50k or 25k but I’m thinking with $1m house prices it’s not what it used to be.
Some day we’ll learn that memes aren’t rushed pre-T9 SMS messages from 1995. ‘ppl’? The nineties are over: evolve with the times!
expensive piece-of-shit (enterprise) systems, since they sometimes explode if your server changes interface names.
At no time in the past 25 years with Medium Iron have I seen something blow up on a reboot because an interface comes up late. We’d solved the issue of unreliable init order in 1998 - RH6? Zoot? Compaq, Supermicro, even embedded stuff on was-shit/still-shit gigabyte mobos. /etc/udev/rules.d handled this eliably, consistently and perfectly. Fight me.
so does RPM.
Careful. Jeff’s format gives us really great advantages from an atomic package that we don’t have elsewhere. THAT, at least, was a great thing.
Lennart’s Cancer, though, can die in a fire.
It’s amazing how many linux problems stem from ‘Redhat, however, found this solution too simple and instead devised their own scheme’. Just about every over complex, bloated bit of nonsense we have to fight with has the same genesis.
Ansible can be heard mumbling incoherently and so, so slowly, from the basement.
Remember who saw apt4rpm and said “too fast, too immune from python fuckage, so let’s do something slower and more frail”. twice.
Vent as required, dude. You’re still a net-positive here by a long shot.
Doesn’t your work cover it?
I built and maintained Open-source software.
I worked for SCO during the time when the rabid halfwits were weaponized by IBM to vilify everything SCO did or didn’t do via Pamela-the-ex-IBM-employee’s ‘totally impartial’ website. SCO was, and remains, the best job and work environment ever.
My software was surely used by nefarious types. But by that time, I was done with it: I code it, I build it, I distribute it, and then it belongs to the world. You can’t have it any other way, really.
And, one day, find out what really happened with SCO/IBM.
Running
npm install
would give me a mini heart attack
It should; but more because it installs things right off the net with no validation. Consistency of code product is not the only thing you’re tossing.
Your restraint shows a great deal of character. I don’t know I’d have the same fortitude in the same situation.
It’s not the product, it’s the cavalier consumption of unsigned add-ons despite knowing better.
Months before. By the time it comes around, the only thing we’re doing is calling the cab to the posh airport hotel (because fuck yeah) and bugging out.
