A little off topic, but I had to refresh my memory as to what Garuda was. As a long time user of arch in various "forms" (initially manjaro until I grew frustrated with all the ext…

Yet if the business model / customer's _existing_ service agreement is changed, the temperature of the water that the frog is in just went up a little bit, so folks continue using …

As a toddler in the early 80s, I playfully stole my older sister's pencil when she was working on her homework, ran away with it, tripped and fell, the lead breaking off in my eye.…

it took me two weeks to get the sealed pinetime working back when it launched. for some reason it would get stuck on the initial boot screen, and it would be in a state to where I …

That tracks well (both the quotes and your thoughts). One example that comes to mind where I want to roll my own thing (and am in the process of doing so) is replacing our ci/cd us…

Just to clarify, I am definitely not saying this is only useful or only applies to databases. The point was more that, I don't see how this testing approach (at the level that it f…

The other issue I would point out is that building a database, while impressive with their quality, is still fundamentally different than an application or set of applications like…

I'd call it something like "Risk analysis, identification and mitigation group"

When outsourced, you either A) rely on someone in your org to tell them what to test and what the workflows are, ie use them as a warm body/monkey to click on things for you - this…

Doing every quality activity "after the fact" I agree is the issue. That's the root of the problem you're seeing, not that there was a separate quality team.

There are so so many instances where "rolling back" is just not a feasible solution. Working for a SaaS company with mobile/web/api and huge db's, migrations, payroll uses in the p…

I had this happen to me as well, though I remember that it was either a docker or snap/flatpak/etc version of it. Got things working but lost a few months of data, likely something…

Let me rephrase... Regardless of the interpretation of intent, this was not "rape in ff6" or "discussing rape", and "rape" is not in ff6. If I heard as a parent that a game has rap…

This is not explicitly stating that it is rape by any means, and I don't interpret it that way. It seemed to me that Maria and Setzer had a history already and he was stealing her …

Your mentioning of "rape" here sent me on a google journey... I don't remember anything like that happening or even being hinted at in FF6, what are you referring to?

This seems like a negatively charged take. Vampire Survivors could have been made in a ton of different engines that are far far less capable that Godot, for example. The engine is…

Serious question: Why would this be any different than reading a book? Is the implied suggestion, that, anything that is not "real" is bad? Does watching a tv show, movie or youtub…

I used to wear a special bite splint / alignment device thing after I had the misfortune of an accident that messed up my jaw in my teens. To this day, one side of teeth make conta…

Thanks for the response! Yeah, Ménière’s and BPPV has been ruled out, thankfully. The oddity is that the sets of symptoms waxes and wanes on the order of months. I had sudden hyper…

You just sent me on a research adventure. I have struggled with chronic neck tension and pain for the last 15 years with no obvious origin event, and sometimes take 2-3 ibuprofen e…

This feels like a shifting of the burden of proof. When folks state (oversimplifying by doing so I agree) LLMs and similar tech are "fancy word predictors with parlor tricks" they'…

It's *Bezos. (joke) In all seriousness, my experience with third party recruiters overall has been quite good. One sought me out and continued to follow up until it sounded like a …

Ever since I discovered Kivy in 2013, it has had a special place in my heart, and because I know my way around it, I've used it for many smaller projects, and one non-trivial game …

The reverse of that is likely just as true; people that are happy Biden won, have no concern if there was fraud, just like those that wanted Trump to win would not question him win…

For the context of this app and in general, I would agree. While I was at PyCon, I had prepped a version of my resume that had my photo on it, and during the job fair I shared them…
