hehehheh

I got a job ... true devops culture ... where I use Splunk etc. as much as I use git, I finally grok P99 and aggegrations and I don't hate it. It has been a mind opener and it is great to be data driven.

As an aside I think where I have seen bad performance it has been mostly architectural choices over O(N) stuff. These take a lot of organizational will power to fix properly as it costs money, time and egos.

You could be apply for grants all day and doing uber at the weekends you sell out!

I read 453 books if you run cat | wc on all the HN submissions I read.

But they can't quit once they taste that sweet total comp.

Github pages for when you need >1 site.

Gives me nostalgia for Gyroscope: https://youtu.be/T3RtojpRc2M?si=nkDpJtJ_lzs5xOP8

It could be the anthropic models makes bedrock attractive and profitable and more importantly medium term competitive against azure. It seems worth it.

This is great for creative accounting. AWS now has 4bn in equity and 4bn in additional sales.

Which use case generates more revenue? (Genuine question. It could be the restaurants but how to monitize)

That is cute as anything! Seems like a lot of craft went into it, with a tiny bit of computer assistance.

Disable SSH Agent Forwarding if true.

Handy. So you can set up a cron job to apply once a month.

Limp Biscuit it is then.

Can you make a square cow from a spherical cow using only compass and straight edge?

It has to be the same as all AI: you need someone thorough to check what it did.

LLM generated code needs to be read line by line. It is still useful to do that with code because reading is faster than googling then typing.

You can't detect hallucinations in general.

Well that Fargate article looks interesting. I had no idea there was a serverless pod management system you can talk to with tools like k9!

Why medium.com then for this article. Just $10 buys you a domain and enshittification shield.

Ideally more density leads to more public transport.

ebikes mean you dont need to be that fit (or sweat) either.

I don't know how. And the answer may be Lisp (!) ... but a decent way to deal with tonnes of cross cutting concerns out of the box for many use cases.

For example a web server needs authcn, authzn, logging, metrics, db retrys, and all the usual gubbins. A DSL for this would rock.

Elm is an example of a language that went down the DSL road and while arguable make some rough choices it proved that a DSL can work really nicely. One side effect is dep management was perfect!

I think the ML people want to get (a narrow band) of stuff done and ivory towered people want to understand a prove things. ML is applied mathematic. Both are needed.

There are exceptions.

I guess:

A gets $60000 which is 10% due to cap.

B is below cap so gets $50k worth of shares in the pile of cash. Or $50k if you like.

Intuitively, if you can lift a modest bench press (not novice, maybe beginner-intermediate) and you keep training and you consume a few fewer calories (not starve) why would you lose your strength.

For teamwork there are frameworks like DACI https://www.atlassian.com/team-playbook/plays/daci that, along with a low ego, blameless, professional culture can end up helping to make well informed decisions. It can handle a NoSQL vs. Relational type decision as a breeze! The whole team (s) should be involved. It beats the classic talking shop get everyone in a room and someone starts rambling, and you try to solve every itch anyone can think of.

I understand the resistance of developers to such frameworks. Maybe Scrum misuse killed all enthusiasm.

Both inside and outside of work: 5 whys is good.

Think of 1 and 2 way doors. If the decision is reversible it is almost an experiment. Travel for 4 weeks or 12 weeks? Doesn't matter as you can fly home at any point.

Even buying a house is fairly reversible although selling immediately will be costly.

Having children is a one way door. Having dogs or cats is really too (or should be considered as)

Quitting a job may be 1 or 2 way. If you are high level at Google it may be impossible to get back to something like that soon. If you have a regular web dev job you can probably get something like that again if you decide to take time to do something else.

Where the url root is /~username, and if there is an error it is an Apache one not Nginx and certainly not a 404 page that cost $10k to design.

Counterpounts:

> Transport security doesn't make 0-days any less of a concern.

It does. Each layer of security doesn't eliminate the problem but does make the attack harder.

Mail and food are different in that there are not limitless scalable attacks that can originate anywhere around the globe.

Hopefully you terminate TLS far away from your app code so rolling that out to prod is a non issue. But I get your point!

1. Division by zero

2. Neutron stars I think
