Are you saying the headline is written well?

How did you get ‘written well’ from readable?

It may be ahead of the curve on Lemmy, but anyone suggesting it’s well-written is out on a limb.

Remember that they knew it was paper taped to a window when they made the attempt.

Who forced them to write quickly?

why nVidia

Why vi? I hope he grows out of it.

Thankfully the slop generated by copilot et al is absolutely useless dreck. I’ve had a significant number of tasks end up broken because someone chased a dream promised by Ai slop. “Sure, you can do that in python.” “that’s definitely how that tool works.” etc.

begs the question

Not it doesn’t. Did an Ai slop this story too?

It’s now law in my region that job descs must include a salary range (and not $1-$1m DoE).

Before then, my friend with three degrees and a faang-laden resume had a phrase he used:

“To be sure this project is adequately budgeted, let me know what salary range you’re considering offering. This is a big ‘mineshaft canary’ for me, as an under-buggeted project is doomed to failure and also lets me know how your Project Management, Finance, Devel, and IT groups interact. If it’s not healthy, the budget will reflect that.”

Or so. But he approached things differently, given his credentials.

Please examine where devops allowed non-system people to be the last word on altering systems. This is a risk that needs block-letter indemnification or correction.

It’s not that devops made ya lazy. I’ve been doing devops since before they coined the term, and it’s a constant effort to remind people that it doesn’t magically make things safe, but keeping it safe is still the way.

Not very many. None of the enterprise ones, at least.

I’ve had my enterprise-distro linux machines updating by cron for 22 years. I had two glitches in those 20 years, too, just like you. But in addition to my two glitches - I had to bring in one unlisted dep for cobbler and also correct the smb.conf’s old format on another box - in 20 years, I also got

• out-of-the-box
• do-nothing patch runs
• trivial back-out if I needed it

And while I know your numbers are excellent, I simply haven’t had to DO ANYTHING since deploying some boxes. They patch, they bounce later on a weekend if they need it (‘needs-rebooting’ is centralized because ALL software installs are) and I can patch while under load because linux write-locks instead of read-locking. My effort is to check ‘some time later’ and ensure things are working in ways nagios doesn’t catch.

Printer issues? Nah. Supply thing. App not working because java/perl/python/DLLs rug-pulled a dependency? Proper packages list hard dependencies, so that cobbler thing is a bug not an expectation. Network offline? nah. Reboots? timed at 3 minute downtime (1 min before systemd), or 7 minutes if I just updated 1gb of gitlab install because it starts like a manatee.

It’s really a different world; and while I’ve teased the heck out of my windows peers, it’s a true statement.

I’ve run

go with ceph[:] it has everything

I heard running an object store as a filesystem was considered risky, but that’s not why it sometimes hoses your storage.

It’s weird how the rules allow for a wide range of expression since they’re just here to properly encode speech as words.

… Thus, not saying a thing if they do actually cache it.

\sigh

Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Egypt have been caught spying on the US (or US citizens) from what I know

Dude, America has spied on even its allies. The bar is pretty low, here.

It’s been well known for decades that most government orgs

I’ve seen Muni and Regional gov and also dotcoms.

The Govs I’ve been at were crazy-tight about security. They were unionized and could decide based on conscience vs costs. Dotcoms, though, followed a different trending, one that really focused on costs.

You can’t use “literally” and

… be over 14

ur

Well, that’s a huge strike-against.

Let me rephrase that. That kid-pidgin will earn heckling, and one’s reaction to that heckling - admit you’re older than 12 and promise to stop, vs really any other response - will determine whether we can be friends. It’s such a low bar.

I downvote for terribad writing, but I seem to be alone in that.

Love that analogy.

I do worry your ‘256 cars’ is a little low.
