  1. Oh, I get it.

    Caddy is a "go" program. It was written because Nginx is not written in go, and everything must be reimplemented in go, the language where everything is optional and code quality is too. #snark

  2. @campuscodi cPanel has authentication!? Next you will suggest phpBB does as well. #snark

  3. The articles about AI ganking production make me think of an altered version of Lucius Fox's comments in The Dark Knight:

    "Let me get this straight.. you wired up SuperAutocomplete to a Magic 8-Ball for an RNG and your plan is to give this thing access to production operations and your backups? Good luck."

    I'm sure using TheNonDeterministic Engine without guardrails is consistent with contractual and regulatory requirements for data governance and privacy..

    TNDE: Makes changes including opening all S3 buckets to public access
    User: Yay, prod isn't a smoking ruin so it probably did what I asked.

    The original scene is amazing btw.

  6. What are the top three most useless stations on the Yamanote Line?

    It has three of the world's busiest train stations:
    Shinjuku: 533,718 users every day,
    Ikebukuro: 407,490, and
    Tokyo: 282,683.

    But what are the bottom three?

    #3: Mejiro: 26,325.
    #2: Uguisudani: 18,890
    AND DRUM ROLL:
    #1: Takanawa Gateway: 7,827

    Takanawa Gateway is the newest station on the line. Since a monster complex opened there last month, usage should be increasing. Should.

  7. Now in near-complete control of Japan's government, the LDP is gleefully pushing through all sorts of horrific right wing policies.

    The latest is revoking Japan's ban on the export of lethal weapons. Japan's lefties are squawking, but their innefectuality is beyond words.

    But today's sad news comes with perfect timing: One of Japan's newest high-tech tanks just blew up a shell in the cabin, instantly killing 3 soldiers.

    I guess they won't be selling a lot of tanks.

  9. CW: Snark about Kyle Sandilands

    I normally wouldn't comment on this kind of stuff, but this quote from currently erstwhile Sydney shock jock and consistently all-round piece of shit Kyle Sandilands is just too precious.

    "I just want to get back to work. I’ve got a family, I’ve got mortgages to pay, like everyone else."

    Mortgage*s* to pay. Note the plural.

    The man is on a cool 7+ million base salary just for being a dickhead on radio. Several advertising and licensing deals put him considerably north of 10. If I was on that kind of money, I wouldn't take out fucking mortgages - I'd pay cash.

    "I have mortgage*s* to pay, like everyone else." I suppose being this far out of touch comes with the territory when you're worth hundreds of millions. Sure, everyone owns a bunch of investment properties that they're trying to wring maximum profit out of, at the cost of everyone else.

    Fucking piece of shit.

  10. @AtanasE In contrast my weather app says no rain, it also says "Did you see that the sun is out? I'm guessing you didn't, because I didn't get a fucking thank you card yet"

    I for one welcome my new foul mouthed AI overlord.

  12. While I appreciate the sponsorships, I think it's worthwhile to also appreciate the irony that the conference is focused on addressing the problems some of these very large sponsors have helped create in the first place

  13. So, finally about that 97-page brief that kicks off the appeal. It was filed by political appointees and not the career lawyers who would normally work at this level. (The same appointees who seemed fine with dismissal on last Monday.) That might account for the tone which is more "judges bad" and less "judges make mistakes."

    My summary: "My Executive Orders always begin with a declaration of my personal animus behind this retaliation because I am governed by that and not the law. The courts are clearly wrong because you are not the boss of me. I can too revoke security clearances for this reason, because I'm pretty sure you told me so. Also, if I sic the DOJ on specific individuals I hate, that's not retaliation, that's just the DOJ doing law things. And it's unfair for the judges to stop me from kicking these bad, bad law firms out of court rooms and signed contracts because I didn't do that yet — just a written, signed order to do so. And if it helps to rule in my favor, you can ignore the part where I confessed this is all retaliation for political reasons and my hurt feelings."

    Regarding the security clearance revocation, we have only the #DOJ brief, but it reads a bit more seriously than the rest. #snark #ExecutiveOrder #LawFirms #PerkinsCoie #JennerBlock #WilmerHale #WilmerCutler #SusmanGodfrey #Trump

  25. @lackattack Yeah, any time the red states want to split off and form their own country free of those awful socialist blue states, I’m in.

    (Of course we’d probably still send them aid money, but at least they would then only be dragging us down financially and not societally as well.)

    It started with a goodbye joke from the nineties - If I don't see you in the future I'll see you in the pasture.

    Then I got carried away.

    Do you know any public domain cow movies?

    Now I can't stop.

  32. Bifocals

    I’ve come to realize I have a kind of bifocal attention – solving today’s problem while simultaneously noticing the friction, which I can’t leave alone. I’ll stop in the middle of the task to write the script, the alias, the doc, the template. Not because I’m procrastinating the real work, but because to me this is the real work – the specific task is just today’s instance of a pattern I’ll hit again.

    The instinct has a cost: it’s slower in the moment. The payoff is cumulative and mostly invisible – unless someone else sees my environment and how I work. That’s where the “wizardry” appears; One gesture suddenly seems to perform magic. Except it’s not magic, it’s just a lot of bifocal attention.

    It’s an acquired taste to know when the improvement is worth the interruption.
