Did we learn something about depending on bad infrastructure for essential comms?

Even when it's trolling?

Hey.. he's only HALF Albertan, so only half of our dumbest region. Whoever his other parent was, that person bears the rest of the responsibility for this deeply concerning narcissist.

So you're saying Texas is big enough that they'd Yo Dawg their civil war?

They've opened the door. California can renegotiate its relationship to the union.

You know, for how stale its entire idea is, Ansible isn't bad. I code fucking yaml daily.

Having said that, It's a generation behind its competition on terms of everything except calendar age. Fuck's sake, it grew from the same incubator that spawned mgmtConfig, which is as better than chef/cinc/salt/puppet as those are better than ansible. It was born with its own grandson, if there was any shared dna.

Using Ansible is like working with Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. Each day it grows more clunky, more waddling with the bags on its side, more obsolete. It's the 50-foot coiled rj-12 cable of config management.

There's probably a ton of infrastructure headed to Azure

Blizzard net code plus unsure paas? That's gonna end well.

So that's a dozen people. 1900 is more than a hundred times that. ()

These cuts will seriously hurt product.

Also, I sense my less-than-new windows version will be unsupported; and I only had it so the one game ran better.

Not if you read carefully. Slow down. Pay attention.

We're in open-season mode for AI at my day job. No one's being replaced by AI.

It's a great tool for code/copy generation, but it gets so much wrong that now we're both coders and qa for bots feeding us scaffolding code.

An 8 foot leap is no big deal.

Quick reminder: you SPCA will tell you that a cat living 100% indoors will ensure Kitty and the surrounding bird population are happier for many years longer.

"He rarely goes out" is the worst setting.

Your car isn't somehow special either.

It used to be double. DOUBLE! now it's even worse.

My daily driver desktop is 8. It was $1100 back then. On it I work two ver-ry nerdy jobs.

I envy you where 10 years is a long time !

I don't want to filter out the max8/max8 planes because of bad pitot tubes or blowouts or nosedives.

I want to filter them out because even on a good day they're horribly appointed terrible airplanes with absolutely nothing redeeming about them.

And I fly the fancy seats.

The fact they even HAVE a configuration where the back loo is right next to the galley with an open-air American-style bathroom partition separating the two, that should get someone arrested.

When the pointy haired bosses eventually hammer her out of the building, can we have her? We're unionized remote workers and we like effective people.

Installing almost anything* on Windows requires the equivalent of sudo, same as Linux.

I feel like you're not sure how system software like ssh and a user's personal game software can install differently in different places, and where one needs no root access to install at all. Go see how mac does it.

Look into forgejo nee gitea. It's the closest to a working fed option.

Yep, a hole in the medicine cabinet.

whoosh

corsicanguppy ,

it's not as brutal a construct as the other Sales-Bro trash we see: 'the ask', 'the spend', etc. It's too bad that no matter how much we mock the soulless people who parrot that crap, it's just our dumber friends who won't learn anyway.

The privacy aspect is less clear, but probably better

I love how dividing by an unknown somehow makes a bigger number for you. The bias is leaking.

Prince in his post said Pietsch’s dismissal wasn’t “anywhere close to perfect,” and that the company will learn from its missteps.

Will they, though?

A rant about an experience I had with Google maps today.

I am currently studying in college and part of my college course dictates that I most do a work experience placement. I ended being placed in a charity shop. The first couple of days went well. Its a small little shop in a shopping center so there wasn't much for me to do. So they decided that today I'll do some work in the...

I corrected gMaps about 20-30 times over the last few years since we moved into a new building (first renters -- whee!). I actually had work peers submitting corrections too.

Finally, out of the blue, it was fixed, and now I check weekly for it to revert. Now, fucking UPS losers who can't read huge numbers on the side of the road can find me again ... and drop my package out on the street in front of the building for the free-rangers to steal. You're gonna love how my new presbyopic, astigmatic, myopic eyeglasses feel on your face, you dick.

I'll try a correction to OSM next time. That's GENIUS.

corsicanguppy ,

all 30-odd corrections I submitted to my own address were handled within a day. And then reverted, but at least handled.

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off (www.ign.com)

Ubisoft Exec Says Gamers Need to Get 'Comfortable' Not Owning Their Games for Subscriptions to Take Off::An executive at Assassin’s Creed maker Ubisoft has said gamers will need to get “comfortable” not owning their games before video game subscriptions truly take off.

gamers will need to get “comfortable” not owning their games before video game subscriptions truly take off.

So subscriptions won't take off if we demand to own what we buy? I accept those terms.

If it ain't a sale, it's not piracy.

your dna is private

I'm a twin. No such illusions for us. It's not even exclusively mine! He's dumped his into nexus and fast pass and 20 different crime databases as he hoped from job to job, so they've all got it now.

The part these crusaders don't understand is that such a plan was bold, rare, and signed-off by a judge after some debate.

Painting is as 4 rogue cops in a sea of comicbook-villian cops sure is neat for the homeroom edge lords, though.

"everyday" = "mundane"

"every day" = "daily"

Reminder that compilation from source is absolutely futile to support because of the arbitrary nature of libs and deps on the machine at time of build and replication of the environment for repro. KThx

Canada just released its timetable to phase routine maintenance dental care into a consolidated health plan.

It's starting small, but if our Republican wanna-bes don't kill it we could have universal coverage and equal access to dental care regardless of economic station.

I haven't had any issues with the few snaps I use so far

My grandpa used to say something like the idea that he never had problems with the 'few' times he drove home drunk so far. Then he ran someone over.

It's better to understand something is an avoidable risk BEFORE you're shown graphically.
