Same, I loved building my own PC but I also have a Mac mini because Macs just ✨fucking work✨ always

This but non-sarcastically. I have a Mac mini and I don’t think I’ve ever touched the power button (except after plugging in of course, but then you’re already fiddling)

That cilinder Mac Pro was a fever dream but I still love the design

This was exactly the problem in my last environment. I was the second dev and two more were onboarded after me, but everyone had issues replicating the original dev’s local environment in order to deploy.

First thing I did was set up a basic gitops pipeline. Worked like a charm.

In addition to this I like YAGNI: you ain’t gonna need it

Don’t implement features you don’t need because you think it might/could/should be useful in the future. YAGNI

brother I don’t think you read the post at all

You’re either 11 years old, trolling or highly regarded (or all of the above)

Honestly, I think it’s more that people take this info from movies and just run with it than malicious (Russian) misinformation bots (although they don’t mind giving this an extra push I imagine).

There’s a lot of people who seem to have a knee-jerk reaction to this “that’s a war crime!!1!”, but it really is not. Incendiary weapons (like thermite, white phosphorus and napalm) are not illegal to use against legitimate military targets, including enemy combatants. It’s only a war crime when it’s used indiscriminately against civilians or in civilian areas.

Lot of misinformation out there on this it seems.

This doesn’t mean anything. It’s an LLM and it will only give you a valid sounding answer regardless of the truth. “Yes” sounds valid and is probably the one with the most occurrences in the training data.

Stop posting shit like this.

That’s not true. Apple does not have a master key for iPhones. IIRC the FBI wanted Apple to help by providing custom firmware that allowed them to do unlimited attempts on the passcode.

Don’t write code, why do you need a computer to do your math? Just do it on paper ffs.

“Oh sorry we thought is was called the Geneva Checklist”

15 engineers for managing infrastructure?? Are they setting up servers by hand?

I’ve been fairly polite in this thread but I’m tempted to call you stupid. I won’t

That’s a lot of words to just call someone stupid and try to get away with it

I’ve been doing this for years as well since I once saw a calendar notification (which is at 9:00 for an all-day activity) stop my alarm after ringing for a second. Been paranoid ever since…

If you tell someone “there’s a fire!” with anguish they’ll assume it’s in the building because what moron phrases it like that if it doesn’t directly impact the person you’re speaking to.

This is more im14andthisisdeep material than shouwerthought

I was baffled at the amount of cockiness

I was easily the most senior person I’m rather exceptional at what I do

Your “neural configuration” is the reason you weren’t promoted?

I think you fit right in.

Using network storage to store your swapfile is one of the… um, more interesting ideas I’ve heard today

Agreed. Everything in Linux is a file so let’s keep it that way.
