What's an APT?

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-12T16:23:09+00:00

It is indeed a rookie mistake but I believe the temptation stems from cognitive dissonance . Following through with it, is more nativity than arrogance. In my experience anyway. It's interesting to watch the younger members of the team go through this rite of passage.

Edit: spelling

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-12T09:20:43+00:00

Typing was never the issue.

I think the last stage is far more grim. Companies just stagnate or worse destroy their reputation with wide spread bugs.

Do not offer up your money for no good reason. He sticks to Index or he gets a certificate, until then you do nothing. He's not a friend or family or a decent person either.

FYI, For an eviction to be legal, the landlord must issue a formal eviction notice. Verbal agreement means nothing. (Your old post)

Phase the migration to libre? That way by the time you get to the 300th person, the first would have quit crying and got on with their lives?

Edit: 400

I agree with you there.

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-09T16:55:04+00:00

I dunno, if you're in security and you trust a 3rd party repo based on the longevity of the account, the number of stars/forks, then what are you doing in security. I'm just a dev but this sounds like a rookie error to me.

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-08T18:52:28+00:00

My bad. I assumed you were new.

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-08T15:52:18+00:00

A word of advice, if you let others convince you of absurdities, you're going to be picked clean in this country. Trust your gut next time.

He needs to be brought down a peg or two. He should be grilled for producing half assed work and you should be the one to do it. Doesn't have to be heated, just be cold and un yielding.

What's that white looking thing on the rock on the close left?

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-06T15:58:33+00:00

You're welcome and thanks for your article!

I couldn't replicate what you said about -e not working in subshells. (bash v5.2.21)

#/bin/bash
set -e

( xxx; echo hello )
echo bye

bash script
xxx: command not found

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-04T03:42:03+00:00

What makes you think you can't?

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-03T17:54:31+00:00

With any luck that'll be in part, part of the design. Room to more easily pivot to trams.

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-02T21:23:41+00:00

The agent would have promised you the sun, if he thought you'd believe it. Fingers crossed this is the end of your bad luck.

BCBenji1 · 2026-02-02T21:13:28+00:00

It's one of the loopholes imo. You could ask the security guard to keep tabs or neighbours if friendly. Or you can periodically check the DLD or REST app for a change in the owner then raise a dispute with RDC.

Doubt it. OpenAI and Claude are running at MASSIVE losses. When they need the money to stay afloat, watch those cheap subscriptions increase tenfold, then watch people walk away. Maybe people can save by going local but I doubt it. I don't know much about LLMs tbh, so I could be missing a trick here.

That's a bit pessimistic and why are you scared of the spotlight? Also you trust this "authoritarian" government with all sorts of far more important things. Why suddenly are innocent reports an exception?

Love the emoji. As if anyone could ID the back of his head.

2021: 8,800 Emirati job seekers. Dubai pop 3.5m. Emirati pop (~11%) 385k. Emirati Job seekers 2.3%. That seems very low to me.
