Bash is great for automating terminal work. Calling commands in python is a PITA.

Doing math and working with data structures in bash is way worse though.

Yup

@electrineer tell me you don't work at scale workout telling me you don't work at scale.

Lots of engineers working round the clock really hard no doubt.

You can't force a normy to dev and be great at it, the same way you can't force a dev to YouTube and be great at it.

YouTube is for AV nerds. Some of them happen to be computer nerds at the same time.

Way to miss your target audience. Wasted money on this effort.

@kiki me? I don't. I just diet twice a year.

Once I hit 180ish lbs, I diet back down to the 160s.

@kiki for hunger control? Best bet is to shrink the stomach (not sure if it actually shrinks or it's a hormone thing).

When you have that inspiration, eat 5 small plates of mostly protein a day. After a few days to a week. the hunger gets better.

You can motivate yourself to get through the first hump with daily weigh ins and checking yourself out in the mirror.

I find after 3 weeks I've lost 15 to 20 lbs but the hunger comes back around then and slowly fall back into old habits, but by then I'm at my desired weight

The hard part isn't eating less. The hard part is controlling your response to hunger. That's ingrained and requires training.

Europe isn't too bad, but coordinating with India is truly awful.

5am meetings are the norm.

Gotta be firm with the customer about change policy up front to avoid these issues.

Some small changes can be accommodated at the discretion of the developer, all other change sizes must undergo a scope change and a replan"

The beginning of the end...

I used thrift at a company about a decade ago. Lots of little microservices that needed to communicate. It was a half decent way to do it, but I think there's much better RPC libs these days, and don't forget rest/graphql

@CoreFusionX that's how I learned it.

CTO demanded we move from two ec2 instances and an ALB, to a rancher managed multi cluster deployment.

We had a dozen MAUs, but he wanted to use the big key words when wooing future partners. It didn't work. I learned a fuck tonne though

Try geo blocking. Not many use cases for the rest of the world to talk to China, you'll have very few false positives.

Yup.

K8s is worth having a dedicated platform engineering team around to keep running. It's a complicated system, and having feature devs waste cycles on it gets you a half assed unstable cluster, and half assed features.

Good news, most people don't need it, Ave the ones that do can afford a dedicated team

@donkulator that was 10 years ago... (Or 70/140 years ago depending on which movie you're watching)

I was on dexadrin for 10 years a while back.

You need to take drug holidays as your tolerance goes up. Take a week or two off your Adderall, then go back on your dose, if it's too strong reduce it.

Your time off will be a little tough so don't plan anything important.

Now you're almost qualified to change button colors on a bootstrap ui

@jestdotty you can have internal remote workers.

Outsourcing != Remote

Outsourcing never works out, so it's a great option for projects that don't matter but don't die

@retoor nmap can differentiate ssh servers from web servers using the same port with ease. I don't think port making has worked in a long time

@retoor very cool.

Not an expert in layer 7, but I believe the first part of the tls hand shake for https is in the clear, may be able to set up a state table for load balancing based on that. It will break with QUICK of course, and likely be hard to differentiate http over tls with other protocols over tls.

What's the network application you're working on?

Fissures and hemorrhoids. Google them and good luck.

Or company is massive and the top brass decided decades ago that winter break is mandatory company wide, and you must cover it with paid vacation.

It's to reduce costs by shutting down, allow for some yearly maintenance, and avoid people scrambling for baby sitters during school break.

A team manager can ask their team to stay on if the vertical organization has pre approved it but we have to be given sufficient notice.

Only one coworker was told he had to. On the day of. And he's doing non critical tasks. And it's because the manager doesn't like my coworker.

We've had a massive issue with this manager to the point the senior director had to get involved and he's been written up for insubordination. This is 100% going up the chain

We think the laws of physics are definitive. Hard to prove without a time machine and a spaceship though

RoHS has entered the chat...

Lead free solder is junk. The wetting temp is so tight and high that it's hard to do without automation.

Now eutectic leaded solder, that's where it's at! That starts wetting in a cold Canadian winter, and stops in the depths of hell. You can form a perfect joint by breathing on it

Hey, that's my prime minister. Show some respect!
