Damn, same, nuked Traefik when v2 broke the setup I spent hours trying to figure out. I don’t think the concepts are overwhelming, but something is profoundly wrong with their documentation habits. Now someone in the comments here is saying v3 changes the way paths are read with regex? Lol, fuck Traefik, never again.

Anecdotally I mostly hear that the cross-platform code doesn’t work so you end up needing to write platform specific implementations of everything anyway. But in Flutter. And it is harder to hire good talent for.

Big mood. It is fucking exhausting explaining basic tech concepts to stakeholders over and over.

Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn’t understand the importance of anything magical.

Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.

I am more alienated by the processes surrounding everything. If I had to do idiotic agile sprint bullshit and also write mind-numbingly boring code I would lose my mind. Luckily I have gotten away with making improvements in architecture so it is at least an interesting problem on occasion.

It sounds like this author would feel better working on open source, a passion project, or a deep academic paper. I think I’d prefer that also. I wish it were easier to live while doing that.

I don’t think those USB cases are priced realistically at all. For what they’re asking I may as well just buy hardware to build a NAS box.

This has got me concerned, wondering how do you tell it’s old if the controller is replaced? Are there serials or dates on the other parts or just obvious wear?

I’d love this. Medium is such an irritating enshittification of the web. It used to be just a nice and crisp content host, so of course the nanosecond they have inertia with users they start walling shit off. I usually bounce if I get linked to it.

“but Google does!!!”

Meta, but yeah. It’s built for a company that is trying to continue ads and addictive behavior even on the millions of aging devices that have software versions from years ago. Large portions of it do not make sense for more typical companies.

LOL, “hey guys this thing hasn’t changed in years, so we need you to convert your simple API request into a big ol’ POST describing the entire model.”

GraphQL is so stupid about collections of objects. If you want uniform pagination for different types of objects you have to write separate types for each.

I don’t like how it composes things together. Kindof awkward when the subportions of the query need variables. Nested objects are great to form the query to just what one needs but then extra steps to decompose into what you’ll actually have client-side.

Came here to ask about the hours. Some quick searching looked like 5 years is an average time to failure, but that might have been for lower-grade hardware?

Don’t you want a graph database at this point?

Every civilization has its Captain Kirk.

GR predicts “closed time-like curves,” but they require weird conditions (an infinitely dense and infinitely long rotating string) or negative energy, and you can only ever travel to the start of the loop at the earliest.

I appreciate it. The modern world has destroyed my attention span. But I wouldn’t even need to be awake to read that one.

The majority of why people are finding LLMs useful is that they respond to questions without ad-ridden bullshit. Eventually someone will figure out how to riddle them with ads and they too will become useless.

IMO if it is so hard to do right that somehow no company can figure it out, then the whole system must be garbage. The best we can get to is the direct time estimates so that the “velocity” calculations we’re graded on make sense. Still going to be bogged down in ceremony no matter what we do tho.

Half the day coding, the other half the day bandaging their feet.
