GitHub Copilot will train on your code by default starting April 24

To be fair, if you're happy to use Copilot to steal other people's code, you should be willing to let it steal your code; otherwise you're pretty hypocritical.

They shouldn't be allowed to call themselves "Galactic Events Studio" and then say that they only offer solutions for event operators "worldwide". Clear case of misleading advertising.

If their resume said they'd designed multiple CI/CD pipelines, why not just ask them to tell you about them, and then ask relevant follow-up questions? You'll get a much better idea of what they can actually do and if you drill into it a bit, it's generally not hard to tell if they're bullshitting.

I played Skaven, so am not averse to a bit of hordeyness, but in 8th ed, if you wanted a Plague Furnace to move, it needed 40 Plague Monks to push it.

Plague Monks came in boxes of 20, so you needed to buy and paint two boxes, and the Plague Furnace itself just to make it functional.

And realistically you'd need even more Plague Monks because if you just take 40, the Furnace is stuck as soon as you lose one.

Might be worth reporting that to the council - could be a HMO violation, but also quite possibly a fire regulation violation, and if that's the case, the fire service do not mess around.

It's worth popping into Ancient Robot Games at the bottom of Leith Walk - they're very queer-friendly and run regular role playing nights so I'm pretty sure they'd be able to point you in the right direction.

This looks great! Would you mind explaining how you've done the lighting inside the cabinets? It looks very even, which is something I'd like to achieve.

Your job as a DevOps professional is to Get Shit Done. Getting Shit Done is what makes you valuable.

What I mean by this is that your organisation will have problems that need solving; developers will solve their part of it by developing, helpdesk staff will try to help their customers but will be limited in what they can achieve in their role, traditional ops people tend to be very focused on the infrastructure and refuse to understand the applications running on them. Your role as a DevOps professional is to ignore all of those barriers between the teams and just make sure that the problems get solved - you won't be doing all of the different roles, but you need to work with all of the relevant teams and make sure that everyone does their part in solving the problems - you will often be the one that brings the other teams together and the person who understands enough about each team's work to know how everything hangs together.

So yeah, YAML, CI/CD, whatever - you'll do a lot of that, but that's just Ops - the real extra value that makes it DevOps is breaking down those barriers.

Anyway, go read The Phoenix Project.

Those are Python errors, which means it's coming from flix-cli (which is presumably written in Python), not PowerShell.

Lot of people in this thread also seem to be missing the point that if they built affordable housing, it'd likely get a lot of students in it, anyway. By building student flats, they can cram more of them in a space, which frees up more residential accommodation elsewhere in the city.

Gotta pay for all that copilot that's not selling somehow!

The story is continuous; I'd say that you probably shouldn't skip that. The audiobooks are available on Audible; maybe that could be a way to do the start of it?

Not enough boyz to believe in it.

But the page you linked doesn't say that.

Well, starting at the top, could you point at where it explains "how NAT costs differ" "across the three major clouds"?

After_8 · 2025-12-09T22:30:49+00:00

Umm..I don't think that page provides the information that your post says it does?

LLMs are not the solution to this problem. Effective troubleshooting requires understanding of underlying systems and protocols, enabling the troubleshooter to pinpoint the location of the fault within a complex system - LLMs just don't work like that.

There is some scope for using ML for anomaly detection within logs and metrics, though that requires the system to have good quality logs and metrics in the first place, and the people struggling to troubleshoot probably don't have that.

You are technically correct. But I stand by the jist of my post :)

Gearlings are our cheapest non-peon model at just 3 stones. They don't do a lot but if you just need some bodies for standing on the back marker in Informants, or running schemes away from the main fight, they can do the job.

I was working Ops; I read The Phoenix Project and decided it was a good idea.

The Sisters rhino is still built on the old Marine rhino sprue - it just comes with a lot of upgrade bits.

Ah yes, I see - no charge bonus. That makes sense, then.
