It’s another reason we need term limits. The accumulated power and influence a representative has gained needs to be checked.

It’s another reason we need term limits. The accumulated power and influence a representative has gained needs to be checked.
It’s your problem when they can’t make payroll because of it. And it’s your problem when they ultimately blame you for not having the solution ready to implement.
The first has happened to me once.
The second more times than I can count.
I absolutely cannot stand this kind of logic.
“We make a shit ton of money on this very critical piece of software!”
“Then let me fix it!”
“NO! It’s making us money NOW! It only stops making us money when it’s broken. At which point then we fix it.”
“But that might be hours. We can minimize downtime if we plan properly.”
"But it’s making us money NOW!1!1!”
I shit you not I have had various versions of this conversation throughout my career, across industries, across disciplines.
Don’t cars have carborators? Are carborators edible?
I don’t know anything about cars except they go vroom. I know even less about chemistry.
Revert the code and claim credit for it again. 😜
OP: not only was this a great solve, you wrote this very well.
If you haven’t already, I’d do a RCA for your company and send it to your manager and manager’s manager.
And keep a copy for yourself.
There aren’t many engineers that can code and write well.
They obviously look at child porn. If they had nothing to hide, they would volunteer!
I say it’s time to investigate each politicians phones and computers and then install monitoring software.
For the children.
It is when you go to a hipster food truck that charges $15 not including tip.
Source: I go to a lot of food trucks.
I absolutely hate how dependent we’ve gotten to IPv4. To the point that Amazon is charging almost $4 a month per IP. It used to be free. These assholes are buying IPv4 addresses so fast that they are literally driving up the price.
Is there a resource that you can recommend on learning IPv6 based on my knowledge on IPv4? A lot of resources I’ve seen are way over engineered for my feeble brain.
Like I know what IP addresses are and what port numbers are. I don’t understand the difference between how IPv6 addresses are assigned (both locally and generally speaking) and what makes it different from IPv4.
I know it’s not DHCP.
Omg…I thought I was doing it wrong. I was trying to map ports on my router and it just wouldn’t do it properly.
Networking is not my strong suit so I assumed I was being an idiot and reverted back to IPv4.
I agree with Putin! The fact that it took 4 fucking years to get a conviction out of the orange turd is absolutely a travesty. We haven’t even seen charges for his part of the insurrection!
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Like most elections that go to Republicans, it comes down to turn out.
Compare that to the presidential in 2020:
Republican voters vote consistently. Democrats often don’t.
McAuliffe was a terrible candidate. It’s another case of Democrats fall in love and Republicans fall in line.
I’m 100% torrents if I need it. Fmovies or other sites seem to have the majority of what I want to watch.
Is there a guide on how to use usenet? What does it offer that torrents does not? Is it nitch stuff?
I am pretty okay with regex. Enough that I can do what I want.
sed/awk I’ve used on occasion, usually sed to change something in a pipeline.
I still feel like I’m casting a demon.
I swear whenever I see sed/awk commands, it looks like I’m about to summon the demon beast.
I sort of want every company imaginable to be marked as “extremely woke”. Get the alt right out of the marketplace. Let them create secondary and underground stores.
TL;DW: they want to be called Indian.
This right here. I know lemmy is all “LINUX IS FOR EVERYONE!” But it isn’t.
I know this would go against Google’s self interest but they are best poised to make Linux mainstream. Chrome OS can play android games natively. But it’s all close source.
It wouldn’t take much to make the ecosystem for general Linux. I don’t know if the other android-based OSes are working on this but anything we can do to push gaming into Linux would help it to become a better everyday OS
Car manufacturers and oil producers have a vested interest in making bikes, ev bikes in particular, illegal.
Basically the same playbook that Henry Ford used to make cities less walkable.
It’s worse than that.
The GOP plan on climate is “We’ll capitalism out way out of it.”
Record high temperatures? Sell AC units and increase prices on electricity.
Water getting more scarce? Buy inefficient desalinators that run on diesel.
Property values declining due to increasing ocean levels? Ban ocean levels.
