Don’t threaten me with a good time
I’m just this guy, you know. Except on Lemmy.
Don’t threaten me with a good time
Having most of the year off for festivals and holy days
They aren’t as efficient at generating rent due to their maintenance and upkeep costs, so real estate holdings firms are hell bent on liquidating them, subdividing them, and redeveloping the land piecemeal in ways that better optimize for fine access control and not having to take care of any “dead” non-money-making spaces such as the concourses between the stores. Instead: just parking lots between store fronts.
This is what happened near me. The malls got turned inside out, so it’s just big boxes around a giant parking lot.
For a long time nuclear power was going to make electricity so cheap it wasn’t worth billing. Turns out they were right, the reactor is just 92 million miles away
Ruby is just happy to be included
No that’s WFH jobs
Oracle is a law firm disguised as a tech company
That kinda makes sense. Putting all the partition sectors together would probably make it easier to resize. But as standard maintenance it’s like changing the oil on an electric car.
Most modern OSeses do defragmentation on the fly and you don’t really need to do it anymore.
Which makes me sad because I have so many memories of watching a disk defragmenter do its thing from my childhood.
I wouldn’t trust it unless I wrote it myself. And even then maybe not.
Pro tip: Defragmenting only works on spinning drives because it puts the data nearer to the spindle so seek times are shorter. Solid-state drives wear out faster if you defragment them, since every write involves a little bit of damage.
And what happens when DNS inevitably falls over and I need to fix it?
And when I’m watching IP addresses scroll by, IPv6 ones are a lot harder to read than v4
“IP address are four sets of numbers with dots in between AND THAT’S HOW I LIKES IT!” - Me, an old network guy
Honestly the fact that I can’t remember or type IPv6 addresses is a big reason I haven’t bothered figuring it out.
Like that time in Ireland when the banks closed to protest a law and life went on just fine without them.
I work with databases and don’t use master/slave because it’s not really accurate. Replicas break a lot, and the primary doesn’t have any control over them.
One common thread between these projects was that we used actual, physical note cards to track things. They were also logged in Jira, but the standups were 5-10 people actually standing in a room tracking burn down and status with cards taped to a wall. Nobody wants to be standing for more than 15 minutes, and anything that needed a sidebar was handled with a smaller group in another impromptu meeting.

Congratulations you’ve just been promoted to product manager
Does it make a Star Trek communicator sound when it opens? Because doing it myself is inconvenient.
