Why not make housing cost less instead?

It's highly irregular to have a .gov domain with this sort of content.

When someone is reaching for an app like this it's a bad habit.

Don't do anything drastic.

Achieving that doesn't need to take the form of a 10% stake in a flailing company.

Limited liability needs to priced to reflect the enforcement costs. Sole props are "free".

I've had a really great experience with docker compose and systemd units. I use a generic systemd unit and it's just as easy as setting up users then `systemctl enable --now docker-compose@service-name`.

Why do retailers put up with Honey? They're clearly not providing value with the attribution theft. Why give them money?

"Dignity for minimum wage" may be a more realistic tagline. It's not particularly good faith to say it's a detached house in Toronto. We're sliding towards workhouses of the 1800s. Policy should lean towards a one b

It's bizarre that we've prioritized increasing shelter costs for all of those who haven't hedged it. It's costing the next generation and is just unsustainable. It wouldn't even be a bad thing if rent was low. But i

The only games I can't play on Linux are mega-modded Skyrim and League of Legends.

It's on my TODO list to add Restic support to BorgTUI[0]. It supports Rustic but the beta nature and iffy performance leaves something to be desired. [0] https://github.com/dpbriggs/borgtui

There is an extension which automatically redirects you from Fandom to the new wiki. While that's convenient it probably helps Fandom stay near the top.

This is more analogous to programmers working with copilot. There's an exciting possibility here of mathematicians feeding these systems subproblems to assist in proving larger theorums.

If it's any good it's an unfair advantage to the cheaters using it, putting those with integrity at a disadvantage.

Googling stuff and wrangling AI codegen soup doesn't scale past a certain point. I get "fake it till you make it" but there's a point to knowledge and mastery of a subject.

What's the point of interviewing candidates when they're parroting whatever an AI tells them? It was hard to get signal before, and with tools like this it'll be even harder. If these systems are any good (big if) it'll

In the zero interest rate environment it was easier to get good advice and orders of magnitude more more money. A lot of those companies are crap. Google had good timing but importantly, a good product and market fit. Prior search engines s

Layoffs and a change in the performance management system (moving away from perf).

I can't read tea leaves but I'm fairly confident they're not shutting down SRE. They want to get back to sublinear scaling and move away from the "devs create crap, bribe SRE (headcount) to babysit it in production"

Not really, the company is massive and until recently very motivated (promo) to launch new things. SREs probably helped get things across the finish line but likely didn't start those projects.

In my experience it's fun to do that but only worth it when SLOs are on the line (so a significant number of bad machines).

SREs are not support agents. That said greater signalling from that area over to us would be a good thing.

What did you buy?

by dpbriggs 3y ago
I disagree. They're pretty good at auto-fixing minor issues and suggesting best practices.

I can do that without manager approval. I'm an SRE in Canada and accrue quite a bit of time off in lieu on my oncall shifts.

The only one I listen to consistently is the Rational Reminder podcast.
