If they are right, then the US is fucked.

I really think they are wrong, and that the US is less fucked, but well, I’ve been wrong several times in my life.

The US government seems to want people to violently revolt.

I imagine they want to use it as an excuse to take absolute power. But I don’t think they thought it thoroughly.

AI should start breaking code much sooner than it can start fixing it.

Maybe breaking isn’t even far, because the AI can be wrong 90% of the time and still be successful.

Nah, they also don’t like when we move slowly and keep things working either.

I don’t think on this specific case anybody has given him anything.

Again, I don’t really understand anything about what he’s thinking. But on the case of Argentina the money seems to be flowing the other way around, and on the case of Brazil the president would reap lots of benefits if Trump antagonized him further.

Hum… Trump has been throwing lavish praise on Brazil too recently.

He may have discovered that the US can’t stay rich by isolating themselves. But he has been praising countries that are mostly economic competitors, instead of customers or suppliers. I don’t understand how he thinks.

Probably arrow lights.

If you use moodle, it has a plugin for that, with instructions.

If you don’t use moodle, you may want to check the instructions on the plugin anyway.

How can one act normal if they were not born normal?

(Asking for a friend…)

Nah, it natural gas will become too expensive at some point too.

But it’s competing with batteries, not PV panels. So it will take a longer time ti get there.

The first step to wisdom is understanding that a man has a choice to tolerate lactose or not independently of his intestines opinion.

I guess the second step is a fast one, on the direction of the closest restroom.

You think you are tacking ‘real’ issues with your servers, but to the average user you seem just as crazy as a guy with a basement full of beans and piss jugs, screaming about the government is watching us constantly.

The government is watching us constantly. There’s no doubt about this and if you think it’s not, you are the crazy one living in fantasy land.

At the same time, how do you think a basement full of beans would help? The entire path from “the government is bad” to “therefore I’ll have a hole full of food where I can live by myself for years” is dumb magical thinking that can be shown to not work by simply looking around or reflecting about oneself for a second.

There are many valid reasons to be concerned about a disaster. And yet nobody doing your traditional prepping for anything larger than a tornado deserves respect.

AFAIK, in order, with completely different orders of magnitude running between them:

Vehicle tires

Industrial goods

Clothing

Environmental plastic usage

Any other thing

Being here, the odds are better he is an autistic middle-aged man.

Yes. I’m divided into “hum… 100 lines is larger than I expected” and “what did he mean ‘from scratch’? did he write the parser combinators? if so, 100 lines is crazy small!”

But I’m settling in believing 80 of those lines are verbose type declarations.

I remember an issue where Amazon said it took a long time to fix some problem because, despite all their dev tools not being linked to AWS, their door system ran in it and the developers couldn’t get to their computers.

because they’re hard-coded to a DNS to avoid shifting IPs due to things like NAT

One of the many, many things we shoved into DNS was service discovery. It’s not because of NAT, it’s because we want to seamlessly support migrating from 1 server to 10 billions of them without reconfiguring anything.

The solution in indeed to migrate to IPv6, but that’s because IPv6 multi-cast is actually usable. This time it’s not because of NAT.

But somehow he is still old and scarred.

Java has the hash interface for using in containers. You don’t need to override equality for it.

This has been F5’s second week.

Crowdstrike is scheduled to be on the news the next one.
