we did this in the late 2000s when schools banned chat programs. Just working in Google docs teach.

should also look into conduit or one of its siblings, normal synapse is a dog to run

Somerville has the community path (car free) that cuts across the city and works it’s way into Cambridge, making it super easy to get into Boston. Boston’s infra is not as good but it’s getting better.

yeah there’s a bigger tree further up this stretch that I constantly have to duck under

If that somehow magically happens in Massachusetts, I will personally go and slash their tires daily

Zillow is just the first boss, you have to break open the MLS system

Generally we schedule our interview calls here in the real world.

yes of course let me deal with the spam problem someone else made my problem answering every fucking call that tries to scam me instead of letting the caller leave a voicemail if they’re legit.

This is generally done when you have customers with SSO, the first one will take the email and if the domain is ssod it forces them through a particular workflow. Otherwise you get the other normal username/password flow

that’s truly assenine as LINQ is supposed to be one of the few reasons to want to use C#

I’ve found that people who talk about “code smell” generally should not be listened to as it’s entirely vibes-based-on-the-last-medium-post-i-read-this-morning. I had a dipshit manager tell me that he didn’t like my use of decorators (in python mind you) because it was a “code smell” and recommended I read “clean” code, and I immediately threw every other opinion he had in the trash.

I literally can’t even.

As someone who spent countless hours of my youth in hammer, laying out areas with props and lighting and doing play testing about areal movement with test npcs, it’s hilarious that these people see this slop and say, yes this is the future.

also : “I’m working on a theory that “AI is art” boosters have some kind of limited ability to perceive details. Like they literally only perceive large shapes, colors, and noises. Anything remotely more detailed than ‘big thing go boom’ they actually lack the ability to see it.” 🤔🤔🤔

Mahindra started out by cloning the Willys and they sell something relatively modern in the states called the Roxor

fyi: some fellow forked all of the sentry stuff from when it was bsd and made it less shit to run yourself. I’d been running sentry as self hosted since it came out effectively and they made some real questionable outright bad architecture decisions over the years that made running sentry super annoying to get you to use the saas product. Like yes I want to use Cassandra and elastic search for my one user error logging

So this is literally a rehash of Spyce, a CambridgeMA based startup whos first restaurant was in the old chipotle in harvard square. They had a similar setup but one that was able to make actually-hot food instead of salad bowls which were decent. (they ironically sold to sweetgreen in 2021)

I can speak for the tangara, lovely hardware but it is an mp3 player first and foremost. the hardware is technically capable of network stuff but their software stack is mostly focused on recreating that iPod experience and keeping the battery life to days of playback. It does take some getting used to if you’ve been living in musical algoworld for a minute

there’s been something that’s really been rubbed me the wrong way about jeff in the last few years. he was annoying before and had some insights but lately I’ve been using him as a sort of a jim crameresque tech-take-barometer.

What really soured me was after he started picking fights with some python people a few years back because someone dared post that a web framework? (couldn’t dig up the link) was a greater contribution to the world than S/O? His response was pretty horrid to the point where various python leaders were telling to stop being a massive dick because he was trying to be a bully with this “do you know who I am” attitude because he personally had not heard of the framework so it wasn’t acshually at all that relevant compared to S/O.

and now this combined with his stupid teehee I am giving away my wealth guise look how altruistic I am really is a bit eugh

in my headcanon it is and he’s just been moonlighting tv for the last 25y

Your phrasing of the question implies a poor understanding. There’s nothing preventing you from running containers on bare metal.

My colo setup is a mix of classical and podman systemd units running on bare metal, combined with a little nginx for the domain and tls termination.

I think you’re actually asking why folks would use bare metal instead of cloud and here’s the truth. You’re paying for that resiliency even if you don’t need it which means that renting the cloud stuff is incredibly expensive. Most people can probably get away with a$10 vps, but the aws meme of needing 5 app servers, an rds and a load balancer to run WordPress has rotted people. My server that I paid a few grand for on eBay would cost me about as much monthly to rent from aws. I’ve stuffed it full of flash with enough redundancy to lose half of it before going into colo for replacement. I paid a bit upfront but I am set on capacity for another half decade plus, my costs are otherwise fixed.
