Your fingers! They Orange!!!

The US dropping the second bomb is one of the worst crimes in human history. As far as I know, there were no consequences for this.

So yes, the US used them, no problem.

This was true maybe 8 years ago when all we had was buggy ceph drivers; but now the integration with the various cloud EBS-alikes is pretty good/seamless. VolumeSnapshots, WaitForFirstConsumer (so you're allocating in the right AZ as your STS comes up, etc etc).

It's really not all that bad anymore. I'll take going to any client and having roughly the same storage setup anyday over the hell that was the mix of enterprise sans we used to have to deal with.

Yep that sounds pretty bad. Personally, we'd just eat not being able to build old versions, we archive previous builds, and in the case of a hotfix or whatever we'd use the go.mod rewrite trick. Not sure why you needed the commit/branch setup, did you change the history?

cmd+shift+r in goland, push to a branch, open a PR, ask devops to make the old location archived and prevent further writes. After a couple months remove access to the old one and see what breaks.

You know, normal development task, small amount of story points..

That's the best you've got? :} I also have blue hair, what generalisation are you making about me?

Please share a single generalisation i’ve made which shows i’m judging people on their religion/politics/gender/belief. You are the bigot here, it’s hilarious you can’t even see it.

Not based on identity at all, based on behaviour.

How so? I absolutely dont care at all what anyones religon, sexuality, race or gender is. No one gets special treatment from me, Im very pro equality. What you want is not that tho. Im not the one with issues here. If you don't see the irony in calling for boycotting business based on political preferences while accusing me of somehow being equivalent to racists you are so far gone I genuiely dont think you could even find help.

There’s no point trying to have nuance here with these people. The blue hair brigade aren’t looking for equal treatment, they want everyone to out of their way to accommodate them and finding someone convenient to target like this is a thrill for them, I am sure.

If they really cared about your private beliefs why not go further, does anyone think they vet the religion of their doctors, dentists, garbage men? Does their barista pass a written inclusivity test before they’ll get their business?

It’s bollocks and tbh you’re right not to rise to it.

Why would anyone there care if you’re queer? The guy posted a blog 10 years ago (since removed) with one paragraph about his personal religious beliefs; and now suddenly the event he’s hosting is “queer not welcome”? I mean come on.

You want equality, I’m absolutely sure you’ll be treated like everyone else there if you go to the homelab event, regardless of your alignment.

What evidence is there that this guy has hurt anyone? I mean, besides the rubbish ansible playbooks.

There’s no point trying with these people, they’re too far gone. They can’t even recognise their breathless intolerance of others for what it is, it’s echo chamber stuff. May as well go piss upwind.

The abortion and homosexuality stuff seems to me mostly religious beliefs in the US tho (as far as i can see from the outside) so what you’re really saying here is that you support ostracising someone because of their private religious views? Isn’t there even something in the US constitution about that? If you want to change the constitution to support punishment for wrong belief, and don’t see how that could backfire on you, I’m not sure what anyone can tell you.

Seems like an obvious slippery slope to me. While I disagree with those religious views personally, I strongly believe people should be able to hold whatever beliefs they want and shouldn’t be punished for them.

Maybe I’m just too liberal in that regard tho.

What does a personal politics matter?

I’m vaguely aware of the dude having removed a lot of rubbish ansible roles which I think he wrote over the years, and now he’s some kind of blogger or something?

He’s not a technical person, sysadmin cosplay aside — and so I think, at least here, we should only judge technical contributions; of which his is a handful of yaml files for installing apache which don’t really count for much.

We have a couple mainframes at work, had an incident last year when someone forgot to apply a new license to one. p1, no payments happening.

I was kinda stunned; there’s a level of balls involved in selling an x millions machine and having it fail closed that I’m sort of impressed by but also utterly appalled they’d treat their big customers like that..

I mean surely to fuck it could have been an automated reminder email to the mothership and not just: sorry folks no banking for you today.

Well I looked it up; nginx, apparently, uses ketama -- it's a ring-style hash probably works better for web backends than the jch above, as when given [0,1,2,3] and replacing the server in slot 1 you're going to have a lot of hash moves. With ketama, you'd only have the '1' hashes moving. You can't really beat google's for brevity, though.

Anyone have an idea how it behaves differently from google's jump hash algorithm? The cool thing about google's one is it's so short I can include it in a HN comment:

    int32_t JumpConsistentHash(uint64_t key, int32_t num_buckets) {
      int64_t b = 1, j = 0;
      while (j < num_buckets) {
        b = j;
        key = key * 2862933555777941757ULL + 1;
        j = (b + 1) * (double(1LL << 31) / double((key >> 33) + 1));
      }
      return b;
    }

I'm game. Where can we find it?

I keep meaning to leave a copy of this around the office somewhere however i suspect it would trigger HR

Paris Syndrome’s wikipedia article [0] has some causal clues.

This comes with age, too.

In my 20’s and early 30’s i wanted to work places where I felt this cultural and work fit since work was a bigger part of my life — but now I’m in my 40’s that shifted just want to get paid as much as possible and provide for my family.

Don’t much care about who I work with, although I do draw the line at crypto, porn and harmful stuff.

In Germany at least if you've held the coin(s) for 7 years before selling you don't need to pay tax on the profit.

Not sure how this applies to donations though, and of course this will almost certainly be changed in the future, .nl is leading the way in taxing _unrealised_ gains; we are sure to follow!

That status page is the most salesforce thing ever.

Scroll down. >_<

What well known data-losing bugs are there in zfs? It can be slow, and resource hungry, but afaik it's about as safe as they come (and I've been using it in prod since solaris 10)

It looks like all he managed to do was setup a wifi access point on a laptop and connect a kettle to it...

That's 'hacking' these days is it?

NV gives out a $100 to Party A, who puts it in their bank.

Bank takes $90 of that deposit (assuming 10% fractional reserve rule, no idea what the actual number is), and loans it out to party B, who pays it into either the same or another bank. Same rules apply -- except now it's down to $81 being loaned out, and so on and so forth, until that 100$ generated $1000 in total bank deposits.

edit: of course, it's never actually directly like this, a lot of other factors are involved, maybe the money is spent, maybe no one wants to borrow it, etc etc -- so it's more complicated but that's I think what they mean

I can't quit it. When I do, after about 2 weeks I completely lose the ability to be a good worker bee and sit in my open plan office,and hide my contempt for the absolute rank ineptitude of almost everyone else there. Load me up with the happy brown juice and I can pretty much make it through. I'm not convinced this is sustainable tbh.

Because it’s TOS violation. Anthropic have no agreed tos with the websites they’re scraping. The accounts being used to distill Anthropic’s models are all bound by their terms

you can buy a book, scan it, and upload the counts of every letter, distribution of apostophies, use it as the input to some convoluted process to produce weights or a search index though. They got slapped for illegally obtaining the files, not for producing derivative works of them.

distilling another llm is a clear tos violation but no one really knows how much teeth those have. financially probably none all they can do is whack a mole on the accounts doing it which won’t work.

so they’re trying to lobby copyright changes i guess; unlikely to succeed as doing so would also make all search engines illegal
