The other party in any transaction knows enough to "deliver" whatever you purchased. In the world where all your transactions happen on a blockchain, that's everyone from Amazon to the corner pizza shop.

Here's a guess: vcl [1] looks able to include time-based conditions. So customer deploys new, valid config with a time-based condition. It rolls out globally, with no issue. Then time that activates the bit which tickles this bug rolls around. Boom.

I recall hard to debug issues due to compiler silently dropping everything past col 80 ...

The intent seems clear, though: "TLS 1.0 MUST NOT be used" "TLS 1.1 MUST NOT be used"

I often enjoy the time I spend repairing things (modulo frustration at manufacturing stupidities that needlessly prevent simple repairs), tbh.

I wonder how much this is impacted by people avoiding the T like the plague?

Came here to post the same quote. Matches my experience as well.

> So I bit the bullet and figured out how to make (actually, adapt) a Dockerfile. Now, all of my CI builds will start with Hugo and lftp already installed.

I read that as the original reason for the reinstall everytime was not yet knowing how to build their own docker image. A reasonable place for a newbie to be. And a perfectly reasonable step to leave for future optimization.

Another possibility is that despite graduating from a computing or engineering program, many of these people still lack the skills STEM employers are looking for.

Recently added an assertion that the # of tests succeeding was > 0 to cover a similar issue.

How/where is the product lifetime defined? Could it really be a year for a printer?

Ah - I'm mostly on pretty urban routes, so relatively frequent stops/slow downs is definitely a factor.

Moderate - not going all out, but definitely working my legs. To the sibling question - don't have a pulse meter, so no idea.

I ride 3-4 mornings/wk. Strava estimates I averaged 89w over the course of my last ride (just under an hour).

Recumbent trike. Between balance issues following brain surgery & shoulders ruined by arthritis I could no longer bicycle. Getting back on the road was life changing.

Yeah, if one has to regularly interact directly with prod, some sort of visual indicator is super helpful.

Note that ambulance ride (depending on insurance) may cost an order or 2 of magnitude more than the taxi. Well worth it in some circumstances - but not always the best option.

Thats stdin & stdout. stderr is file descriptor 2.

Flashback to a utility that only existed as a binary, but was key to some prod processes. Even better - by the time I met it, said utility crashed on a SEGV after it accomplished it's task. So SOP became - ok, xxx crashed, we're good to proceed.

I got thrown recently by an update log (powerapps solutions) which seems to do exactly this - an in-flight install/update is shown as a failure until it completes. Eventually figured out I should ignore entries with a null completion time.

I would be very curious to hear about your favorable experience with untested failover systems. My last job we tested our active/standby failover like clockwork every 3 months. It served us very well.

Haven't bricked emacs yet :-)

Thx! Looks like just what I need.

Perhaps one should have proper controls in place?

Had mine surgically removed going on 10 years ago. Not dead yet!

Source for those charges? Article this currently points to says "The third defendant is a juvenile. With exceptions that do not apply to this case, juvenile proceedings in federal court are sealed to protect the identity of the juvenile. "

Basically dupe of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23990075

Curious about how you feel about the number of people needed to farm 100 acres of, say corn, today vs 200 years ago. Was all the automation applied to that problem unethical?

"the work is still going to get done by someone" - this assumes an infinite supply of devs willing to do unethical work. Sure, in this specific instance they probably will - but I don't think we should completely dismiss the impact of decreasing that supply.
