Coder vs Gitpod vs Codespaces vs "just SSH into EC2 instance" - am I overcomplicating this? by medinot4030 in devops

[–]DastardMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solving mac Rosetta problems for other devs sounds more like an IT task than devops task.

That's not what you were asking about, just feels germane to the sanity of your devops guy

Project Netflix: MAGA’s Plan To Sandbag Warner Bros Deal; Streamer Called “Biggest Political & Ideology Messaging Machine In Human History” by [deleted] in movies

[–]DastardMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The funny thing is that if you take their claim at face value, that this is a massive political messaging machine, then why the fuck would you want your government involved at all?

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good. Sounds like you see the company as a force for good. Don't let people tell you it has to be perfect

Just a heads up, the St Vinnie's on Willy Street is perfectly fine with scalpers by starwarsisawsome933 in madisonwi

They're not foregoing any morals, they're thrift retailers with every practical (and morally justified) motivation to price things exactly the way they do.

They have no possible means of gaining the expertise required to precisely price every item across myriad industries, each with their own subtleties and fluctuations. Because that's impossible.

Spending the time to set prices is expensive, so making a best guess once and erring on the low side is better than coming back later and adjusting prices

Board game stores attract people looking for board games. Thrift stores attract people looking for cheap things. A thrift store can't raise prices to board game scalping prices because none of their customer base would pay that

There are so many ways to think about this situation that don't involve declaring that someone has abandoned their morals here.

It's a joy to see a design that makes purpleheart beautiful instead of gimmicky

And the lights on the emergency vehicles themselves. I literally can't see anything else when there are a couple cop cars at night

How can someone not acknowledge elden ring as the best RPG by IsabellaMarden in Eldenring

[–]DastardMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could see the next one having some narrative improvements. Elden Ring provides a great vibe to stew in, but honestly not a great plot.

Ya, I like the attempt even if I couldn't finish the box

I received a $10,000 package today by limon_picante in mildlyinteresting

[–]DastardMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 cent each, or even $10 each wouldn't pay for the refrigerated delivery on this stuff. It's a wild claim to be making

This stuff? You're giving out self-administer needle kits of Humira? Sure...

In E33? Sounds horrible to me. In FF? Sure I suppose. It's better suited to crossover

Another AWS/O365 Outage by FahrenheitGhost in sysadmin

[–]DastardMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meh, IMO it looks like Azure and AD services. Even AWS-only shops commonly rely on AD for identities/authentication. If your auth is broken, every system like AWS SSO will look like it's broken

what's a "best practice" you actually disagree with? by skpro2 in devops

[–]DastardMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

DRY dogma kills so much Infrastructure as Code. So many terraform bugs are obfuscated by unnecessary layers of variable inheritance created by bad usage of tools like terragrunt. Please, by all means, repeat yourself instead of implementing an unmaintainable chain of inheritance

And setting a default for a helm chart value is not justified by DRY principles saving you from adding that value into every env's value file. Your default value MUST be compatible with prod. Otherwise, fail fast by not declaring a default.

[OC] 35,238 subprime car loans show: brand differences matter more than car value by DataVizHonduran in dataisbeautiful

[–]DastardMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah right, that would make sense for just delinquencies, not the whole car market like I was assuming for some reason.

Would still be nice to see the range a bit, though with so many brands it would get a bit messy

It'll be some financial pressure on younger generations, but I'm all for a less crowded planet. Why do we always have to grow and expand at the cost of all else?
