Well aren’t you insufferable.

The steam deck gboperator is brilliant!

If you can see it, you can record it.

I think the analogy isn’t quite right because you’re not connecting to a WiFi network as a need, like you would need to pay an expert to fix your car. Those are different goals and motivations. It’s more of a common sense thing, such as how people shouldn’t leave valuables in plain sight in their cars when parking at a public location. Basic common sense should extend to tech and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that in 2025. Which is why I think you get what you deserve if you do something like that.

I’m not sure I’d consider it messed up at all. Knowing WOZ he’s just MITM serving a prank website that also tells users to not connect to random WiFi like this. You kinda get what you deserve if you connect to unprotected WiFi that you don’t own/setup yourself.

I use Actual and my solution is to just report the differences in investments value at the end of each week as a transaction. It’s not great but it affords me an opportunity to see trends in a different way and make adjustments feeling a little more informed. I even put my car in and just check KBB every year and update it. Helps with the year end net worth evaluation though it’s not the most flexible.

A service is not goods. The cake analogy is bullshit and you know it. Subscribers are owed 24 hours of service, the time it was down. They are providing 120 hours. It’s more than reasonable and arguing you deserve more is entitled childish behavior.

It was down for 1 day though. How is 5x the outage time not sufficient? What in entitled bullshit is this?

Exactly. This is a non-story and they already have a built in integrations system for escalating / customizing requests.

While it may be true that the master branch is more akin to a master record, not everyone knows the nuance and quite frankly it doesn’t matter, if it makes people uncomfortable then it shouldn’t be a problem to accommodate a simple change, most of the tech world has already done so. Computers used to have a literal slave/master relationship with hardware components and control systems and we moved past that just fine despite still having controllers and actors everywhere.

It was someone ranting about the many hours and days of lost productivity and cost of manually switching over 70+ legacy build pipelines all because of a branch name change. Also lots of condescending and insulting language from someone who thought their stubbornness and “standards” meant they were better than everyone else. Honestly I just probably set them off in my first message and they wouldn’t let it go, leading to increased levels of ranting and insults from them attempting to spout accomplishments while detailing their failings in the same breath. Admittedly that above description is a bit belittling from my end, I’m just annoyed they couldn’t keep their messages up for all to see.

I still stand by the opinion that changing branch strategies, names, or targets should not be a multi-hour multi-resource process and if it is, that’s a failure of the systems engineers / ops who put together such a plan. It’s possible to have CI/CD pipelines that run for years on end attached to critical infrastructure while being flexible enough for such simple config changes and maintained by one engineer.

Again, you’re conflating your own stubbornness with correctness and that just ain’t how it goes. Branch names are frivolous. So much so that changing the strategy or retargeting a branch one time shouldn’t be such a nightmare for your pipelines that you have to pretend like you’re the big dick on campus spouting accomplishments when someone mildly suggests there’s a mistake in your thinking. Look inward if you’re so upset by this that you have to make up irrelevant insults in a vague attempt to protect your own ego, then go fix your pipelines to make it easier to do for the next person after you’re gone.

lmao nothing you’ve said has anything to do with “Main is more concise and less problematic”. Just because you created more work for yourself by having 70+ pipelines that need to be rewritten for a branch name change doesn’t mean it’s less concise or more problematic. It means you messed up by not having a pipeline capable of such a basic feature – generalized targets with a separation of concerns. Standards change, requirements change, so do build pipelines. Being stubborn is not a reason against changing colloquial terms out of respect and growth in understanding.

The only statement in your ridiculous rant that has any validity is that of your legacy pipeline configurations. But pipelines need to be updated and validated semi-regularly and should be generalized to begin with, so it’s not really any good point that your legacy pipelines cannot handle a default branch name change like modern pipelines should.

Swap main and master in your comment and it reads the exact same with all the same shallow justifications.

Circuit superstars is the only modern game that captured the fun feeling of top down racing that the original Generally had for me when I was growing up. Definitely a +1 recommendation!

There’s a possibility we could get new or more complex crystal structures by processing materials in space, getting more resilient or better properties to then be used in actual chips after it gets back to earth. Space factories will be more for material handling and processing than actual fabrication (minus deep space ship construction).

Also the amount of management that doesn’t understand the difference between coders, programmers, and engineers. All quite different in scope and all completely necessary for at-scale production.

My only gripe is the lack of ChatGPT and search internet for answer options. I want to use both in various situations when Siri doesn’t get the answer directly.

I’m so annoyed that the 500 price increased so drastically yet doesn’t include PoE or NVMe support components despite having unpopulated pads on the board directly for “flexible future designs”. I’d prefer a $40 increase over the 400 to include these components instead of $20 more for blank spaces and no guarantee of making it work DIY style. Hopefully the 500B variant ends up with these corrections.

There will always be a need for talented systems engineers with emphasis on security. Programming in general is a good thing to learn anyways but understanding systems, how they work, and how they communicate is equally as important. There’s a lot of manpower needed for information security right now.
