I’ve always been hugely in favor of it. It’s the one change that could maybe justify their gargantuan salaries – if your company causes harm and suffering, the leaders absolutely need to be put on the hook.

Same, Fedora’s my main driver at this point. It’s the only one that seems to support being close to the edge that well without instability. And I no longer have the patience or risk acceptance for Arch/-derived systems at this point, as much as I enjoy using them as a hobby and to preview the latest tech stacks.

Jesus Christ that’s basically uninhabitable for any extended period of time

I mean, they’re one implementor of about 10 that use the same container standards. It sucks that they were first so their name is now synonymous with containers a la Kleenex, but the technology itself is standard, very open and ubiquitous, and a huge step forward in simplifying deployments and development lifecycles that would otherwise be too complex to reasonably handle.

My insurance site (MyCigna) started working a couple months ago, but for years it failed to log in. It’s those types of contracted apps that seem to fail the most for me, like apps you’d see on a company intranet.

I think that’s the way both Splunk and JFrog work – you generate or enter a password into the key field in a YAML file somewhere, start the service, and next time you come back the field’s been encrypted.

The fuck’s wrong with you?

It’s also one that’s unfortunately up for reconsideration after the Supreme Court overturned Chevron deference. That rule (as well as almost every other NLRB rule) could go away unless it is explicitly re-enshrined by Congress.

Tsoukalos fired back with a lame schoolyard threat that probably didn’t help his cause, writing: “Tell me that to my face and let’s see what happens.”

I can’t think of the last time anyone actually said “say that to my face” without a hint of irony.

Or just mildly aged Jesse Waters

“A The Lord of the Rings Game”

I’m going to have a the stroke.

I can confirm both Pixels and Samsung phones have that feature (1/2/4 hours or indefinite). On my current phone (Samsung) you get the option by holding the DND button.

No, my phone went into SOS mode yesterday. No apps, just a button to call 911. And yes, if you lose a ticket, you can indeed miss a flight. Only tale I have for that is a colleague who lost their ticket and the time it took to look up their details put them past boarding, they were stranded at the terminal, but its still an actual risk you can’t wave away.

It takes 5 minutes to save an insane amount of stress and misfortune.

Leonardo De Lima, who works in technology, was on his way to Boston Logan International Airport around 5 a.m. for a business trip to Chicago when he realized his phone was in SOS mode. He initially thought it was a problem with his device, until he got to the Delta terminal and saw a lot of confused faces.

“I heard people talking about the outage, and everyone was lingering in the departure area because nobody could pull up their tickets on their phones,” the 32-year-old said. “I saw a lot of stress.”

It’s a pretty popular meme format, it’s not serious

Exact same here. Totally fine with showing the pass from my phone, prefer it even. But the stakes are too high to skip the 5 minutes it takes to print a paper copy. I can almost guarantee that everyone else is one close call/missed flight away from doing the same thing, too.

Oof, and there’s only ten lines of code, too. And they look very purposefully written out.

Same with proof-of-concept and piece-of-crap!

Kubernetes is fine because it’s easy to keep track of, it looks and pronounces similar to the real word.

O11y for “observability”, though, that one’s pretty rough. And people trying to make the pronunciation “ollie” make me see red.
