DevOps is bad because for some reason we’ve decided to invent new programming languages that you can’t debug locally and so you have to keep pushing commits to the pipeline server. It’s bullshit.

“Why do you write all your pipelines as shell scripts and then wrap them in yaml at the very end”?

Because then I can run them locally quickly and test individual components of them instead of “edit, commit, push, wait 10 minutes, read error message, repeat”.

C is simple in the same way that a circular saw with no safety features is simple. I like having fingers better.

Some men just want to watch the world burn

C++, but a very ugly and oldschool dialect of it.

Stockholm syndrome.

JS is the one that’s built into the browser. If JS wasn’t built into the browser, it would go onto the trashbin of bad old languages that only survived because of their platform like VBA and ActionScript and .bat batch scripting. You can’t compare JS to any other language because JS is the one you don’t get a choice on.

The fact that this meme makes sense to anyone demonstrates how dynamic typed programming languages cause brain damage.

Even for experts the user experience is shit. Too much has to be done manually when the default should be automatic, like fetching before pull, recursing when working with repos that use submodules, allowing mismatched casing on case insensitive filesystems, etc.

said on Wednesday the Palestinian militant group Hamas was not a terrorist organisation but a liberation group fighting to protect Palestinian lands and people.

Oh, I don’t doubt the Israelis are killing a crapload of children. I just would rather see the exact numbers from a more neutral party.

Does the UN or some other more neutral org have numbers? I mean, the Gaza Ministry of Health kinda has incentive to exaggerate civilian casualties, just like the IDF has incentive to say “everyone in that playground we hit with that airstrike was an Islamic Jihad Terrorist”.

I think you accidentally a word.

And yet I have to enable SMB 1.x to get filesharing to talk between my various devices half the time.

Okay, I’m willing to believe that Israel had a contingency plan ready to exploit the political leeway created if they were hit by a terrible attack. Like “if they kill a bunch of Israelis, this is our shopping-list of objectives to gain ground and kill targets in a time when the world can’t criticize us”. I would believe there are people in the Israeli military who are amoral enough to do that.

However, believing they looked the other way when they knew about an impending attack strains credulity.

And if you’re believing they were active participants in orchestrating an attack on their own people? That means you need your tinfoil hat loosened.

The asymmetry of power is so severe that Israel could flatten every building in Gaza and butcher every person there in a single day if they really wanted to. Yes, Israel does horrible things to Palestinians, but if you’re going to start from “Israel wants to kill Palestinians”, you kinda have to explain why they don’t do it even more than they already do.

Actually that would be quite new, since most of their land-grabbing actions have been in the West Bank, both the rural settlement communities and urban areas around Jerusalem. The Gaza Strip borders have been consistent for a very long time.

But yes, their current approach of levelling buildings and commanding Palestinians to evacuate does lead me to think they might try that in Gaza.

“You’re right, our only reporting on climate change shouldn’t be about one protester getting arrested… let’s switch to our preferred option: never reporting about it at all”.

So they’re airstriking the south after telling everybody in the north to head south.
