Context?

We clearly didn't watch the same show. The nature in which they use disguises alone was some of the best use in a show I've ever seen. There's also some very clever code words and traps that scary in their realism.

In the wild? For people who read books, they probably weren't a fan. For people who don't care about source material, the show was amazing. I'm still pissed it was cancelled. It was apparently ridiculous expensive to produce and that's all the more reason they should have kept going with it: to show that we want more of those types of things.

As in, British shows don't necessarily explain or show everything? I'm a bit lost here.

Pretty sure the history goes she got paid anywhere from $25 to $500 for the photo as a one time payment.

Showing the netfilter with the OSI layer on the left, after all these years is absolutely clutch and as an educator, I'm thankful the author made such a thing. It's beautiful.

I feel like from an abstraction standpoint, a lot of these concepts get lost when you transition to Windows and in either direction, these pre/post chains never quite made sense to me on the surface. Though, I'm positive it's because I'm not a developer or sysadmin in linux daily. I imagine there's some fascinating stuff you can do.

This seems easier to digest, but it's a long way off from The Practice of System and Network Administration of yesterday.

As someone who always knew I didn't really need to know code for what I wanted to do, I'd posit that a developer comes across as someone who may not be formally trained. Maybe they're a hacker, maybe they know a language or two and dabble. A software engineering is someone who is comfortable at various levels and understanding machine level code in so far as also being comfortable with software patterns.

-shrug-. That's what I feel like in my org at least.

>Do you act on ideas or shiny packaging?

The outward appearance and concept of something can indicate bias or quality where there may not be any. See hype around Yeezye shoes, or Kayne's white shirt, or the utilization of netlify essentially repackaging Amazon. An idea is meaningless without the ability to act.

People ripped this comment to shreds, meanwhile the brain-swell of folks here would absolutely criticism if something was posted that showed lack of due diligence and due care. Watching the videos of this content, the videos are just scripted versions of the text in the markdown files, with no slides or auxiliary content to show value. Impressive really.

Further, I don't think anyone took my comment holistically as it sits. I fondly remember seeing a lot of developer advocates talking about Azure and how wonderful the Cloud is, but they showed a demo, their own personal PC was poorly configured and managed, and they were using incorrect taxonomy for quite a few things -- leading people down the wrong path of growth and learning. So yeah, the details that are on the shiny package matter, for sure.

You don't see VPS providers like Vultr forgiving bills like this, nor do they make the news. Granted they are not the same scope as Netlify, but still.

Can people not really understand this? Some of those related questions are dupes, other times they are paths to rabbit holes. ycombinator does the same thing. When you guys see posts that come up that have been here before, you post links to previous discussions. I saw this recently specifically with the links to articles on Martin Couney (I had a hard time finding that because the article is so poorly worded).

Even Reddit has linkability to detect the URL and show you an 'other discussions' lens (for Old Reddit).

Granted, this is a slight taxonomy difference of 'other discussions' of the same exact topic, vs other discussions related to your topic. But I think it's a useful and helpful feature.

I'm not sure I fully agree, I've found some useful things, but I like long form content that expands beyond what's on Reddit comments and occasionally you hear interesting stories.

The problem I have is, the content I usually see is essentially the regurigation of youtube videos stealing from imdb's trivia section: "Top 10 things you didn't know about $film!"

Quora does the same thing for clicks in a way, and it ends up being misleading.

having the key and/or at least the ability to quickly make a key is far quicker than picking and much better if you are intending on being surreptitious. It also aids in less forensic evidence behind.

In the time that it took you to ask several people for the TL;DR, you could've watched the video.

I guess I summarize things different than others, but at the 32:00 minute mark, he talks about what he was actually scared about:

NASA is essentially, a business (my addition) -- that does not know how to communicate. The left hand very much does not know what the right hand is doing. He brings up a fantastic example of how many rockets are required for a particular phase of a mission and showed how multiple people gave different answers without even realizing their launch date is set in stone.

In essence, issues abound.

Where are you based, and would you want to troubleshoot with a friend who notices similar things? :)

To be fair, that wasn't 'on' by default, and it wasn't necessarily bloatware, as it's a small activex module/component. It's actually fairly light with how well it works from a code-base perspective! but, it's akin to malware more than anything since it's inception.

Were there even other browsers back in '98 other than I think Netscape? How else would you have been expected to download, or utilize, the Internet? If a core component is considered bloatware, something is wrong.

this seems extreme.

is there a 'name' for these types of troll videos?

I dislike this trope of knocking Windows because of no central method of updating software. Windows software by the very nature has automatic updates, just like Mac, for each application that is installed and well supported (usually). Most applications will check for updates on launch and/or periodically. You could use a third party utility but that just increases the chance of break-age depending on what gets updated. And on a Corporate/Enterprise Environment, all of these points are moot with centralized repositories. The core point is moot in so many ways and shows a lack of understanding of the ecosystem.

The file extension bit is sort of silly as well, as, it's what made Windows as user-friendly and wide spread as it is today. Better that than treating everything as a file and allowing anything to be piped anywhere.

I think the bigger point is the ethos behind the Operating System(s) and the opaque nature of Windows that causes these downstream effects.

I call bullshit. Windows 95/98/2000 did not have any bloatware....

It's not normal though, and not everyone has it. I'm surprised there hasn't been a documentary on tinnitus like there is on the fear and scams around beef products being poison, the real estate market, mortgage backed securities, etc. It's a silent killer. Many people in this thread have eluded to suicide as a result of their ringing. that's up there with depression.

Were you born premature? Did you get any head damage or injuries growing up?

Do you notice any difference when you stretch, and specifically, are looking up and have your head back? I've noticed the ringing stops for me at that point. But I also have a high pitched, 24x7 bi-lateral ringing. I've had it my whole life.

I would love to know what steroid this was.

CNA?

Something adjacent to the Army Field Manual in the Civilian Sector is Nurse Leadership.

This is an absolutely ridiculous move by them.

This has nothing to do with snappy apps and everything to the complication of graphics sublayers, along with the difference of VGA vs HDMI, etc.
