A $200 smartphone isn’t enough for most people. They’ve been sold that ideology but all I see is people struggling with them constantly assuming that’s the best of the future in th…

What are you doing to your poor phones? Even my 15 year old’s SE is still mint.

I’m in the UK so I charge the shipping and handling to the buyer, sell on an offer day and there is no sales tax on private sales. Total cost to me is usually £1 to sell it.

Yes but that’s dishonest. I’ve had no problems selling anything yet either. Usually goes within 6 hours here at a well inflated price. I bought an iPhone 12 December 2019 and decid…

This person gets it. As always if it’s a shit show, charge by the hour and get double time! If it’s easy charge by the job and spend two months getting paid to play solitaire!

I think that’s a separate point. It does include a template language because Go is “batteries included”. You can write productive stuff without having to import any third party pac…

Yeah as always no one seems to have got the optimum apple ownership thing yet. 1. Buy the cheapest premium device plus one minor upgrade (more storage etc) as that has the lowest t…

This is one reason I like Go. It’s exactly the opposite to Java in that respect.

Well the last dude I know who took LSD tried to call an ambulance for a pile of sacks of builders cement and pissed himself. YMMV on that one. There are probably more failures that…

I’ve spent enough time in fintech to know where this ends. The interest in it is purely because of the vast problems it creates are opportunities to gain something. These are numer…

If that happens I’m going to eat my mac mini for lunch.

There are some nasty escalation scenarios I’ve seen in that space. Cost increases as does workload backlogs and latency. Eventually something breaks and causes an outage. All leaks…

I did always submit bug reports and patches. Most of the time some GitHub robot closes my ticket or PR after it is ignored for a month. That’s the new status quo: keep your ticket …

That’s about right. I’ve got a dev who’s container just exits 0 ten times a day. He told me kubernetes takes care of it so it’s not a priority.

On this point I just deployed my first end to end ARM app. It’s a small aggregator but it’s written in Go on an M1 mac and deployed to graviton2 instance. The killer is there was n…

Full hazmat gear here. She’s right.

Remember GitHub is not Git. Needs to be pushed elsewhere. Everywhere.

Three kids here. I could never smell it either. To me babies mostly smell of poop and whatever medication of the hour you have slapped all over their bottom. One thing I have notic…

Um err I’m writing this on a Mac mini M1 with Durgod keyboard, Logitech mouse and Iiyama monitor… If I buy any laptop, other than Apple, I get whatever parts they managed to get fr…

Ironically one of the lyrics was “…you make a grown man cry” which, as a Solaris user at the time, windows 95 did.

This reminds me of all the unholy things I’ve seen done with excel over the years. One guy I worked with at a big corp IT shop had broken PowerPoint and the IT guys couldn’t fix it…

Sorry I meant export and push.

I took a management position and delegate my management tasks out to people who want to do them on my team. I am still hands on and it allows people who want to get management expe…

Clone it then push it to a clean repo to destroy the history. Seriously. I understand security concerns but the history could expose previous bad practices which can be applied to …

No. We don't have an active deployment in that region at all. It killed our build pipeline as ECR was down globally so we had nowhere to push images. Also there was a massive risk …
