Even on a large timeline there is just a lot of risk when migrating legacy infra to an entirely new system, especially if the original arch grew "organically" and has tones of edge…

Designs, docs, the claims it makes, ignores instructions, "defers" things constantly leaving incomplete work. Maybe I am "holding it wrong"(tm) but I find it frustrating to work wi…

I dont love it. Opus 5 is just a token burner. I use fable plan and spawn opus 4.8 workflows which seems to work alright.

If by mafia you mean English Crown sure.

If these people are glorified copy paste scripts why are they even employed....

It is very weird. 6 months ago I generated some documentation for a service that was largely undocumented. When it was done my only thought was "who is this for?" Is any one going …

Search traffic is nose diving due to LLM use. The fundamental calculus with google is you install GA and it helps your SEO has changed and google is riding out what will eventually…

As a Canadian driving through Michigan/Ohio/Upstate New York and places look run down and like they peaked in the 60s-80s and its been down hill since. When I was younger and it wa…

I remember about 10 years ago I switched our billing / subscription code from paypal to braintree. Braintree was better than paypal but that wasnt saying much. Then paypal bought B…

The reason is because while you want to use the low end the general public does not understand that USB-C is the connector only and that various levels of power and data depend on …

I make this comparison a lot and a lot of devs don't like it. I am sure I could make a decent industrial PLC tech, same shit, different tools.

Repo claims > A single archive of public exploit PoCs and vulnerability research writeups. At the time I post these, none have been reported. Feel free to report them yourself and …

Yeah the last decade of Nuclear work is the ONE thing that they have been successful at wrt to project planning. Hopefully that expertise is well placed to execute on these other p…

> Mature ops would be tracking cache hit ratios right? Sure, and sentry integrates well with redis in python which is what I use primarily with redis. I don't think memcached is ba…

I don't want my cache to silently fail. Clustering redis is not that hard even if you do it manually and I have only had to do it once. I never use redis persistence and have a max…

I stopped using memcached a decade a go in favour of Redis and now use valkey. Never felt the need to go back to memcached except when a legacy dependency needed it.

Merchants near me are using more computer based terminal that seem to take nearly every thing. Amex's cut probably smaller compared to squares or stripes. When talking to a local m…

I don't think people appreciate how much power comes from such a small amount of waste. The largest plant near me has been operating for > 50 years and the waste is still kept on s…

The problem is that the agents can not be trusted to do things so at the end of the day you wade through loads of crap and they cant solve your problem because they usually only ha…

For sure, I was thinking consumer desktop motherboards. Even server boards often have their SFP in daughter boards specific to the chassis.

I mean.. cat8 already exists but it will never be common because most people who dont make home networking a hobby just use wifi. Hell many many people now a days own only a tablet…

If you don't want the anime girl pay for the support, otherwise you get the anime jackal. Seems like a fair deal to me.

You are paying a fall guy to come in and gather data or implement something you want to do but don't have a ton of evidence for. That way if shit goes south you can blame them and …

Yeah, the AUR is basically build scripts for github repos or a link to someones pre-built binary. It suffers from all the same problems that the underlying infrastructure suffers f…

Patroni serves this niche pretty well at this point.
