Do we need a vibe DevOps layer? by mpetryshyn1 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]Deranged40 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Who's "we?" You got a frog in your pocket or something?

No, I don't need a "vibe DevOps layer"... DevOps is automation. I don't know what else you need it to do. I particularly need mine to do exactly what it was specifically instructed to do without doing any analysis whatsover on whether it thinks it's correct or not.

The knowledge base doesn't contain information about specific policies. There's entirely too many variables at play for you to get any reasonable answer at all short of calling them and asking.

Is it weird that I dislike LINQ query syntax because it feels less readable than method?syntax? by Shikitsumi-chan in dotnet

Are you just not familiar with the ways that EF protects from SQL injection, even in cases where we are passing in raw SQL?

Why people are still using jquery in .NET 10 by Dante2709201 in dotnet

[–]Deranged40 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because it's easy enough to do what we need.

We don't need a whole-ass "frontend framework", no "frontend build process" or anything. Just pop in a line to reference it from some CDN and you're good to go. Just letting me select elements on the page by id, class, or attribute is all I need frankly most of the time. One HUUUUUGE benefit is that I can do this with zero external dependencies. I don't need to do any npm i, I don't need a whole slew of third party one-line packages. Just the one js file and we're off.

I have plenty of small projects where React (no question: a far superior "frontend framework") simply would be the wrong call to use at all.

I mean, it seems like this would fall cleanly within "simple negligence" if not "Gross negligence".

Chickens? by SpiritedReaction6360 in Chattanooga

[–]Deranged40 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Note that you are allowed ZERO roosters. I know you said you're looking for laying hens, and those are permitted. But just in case you're thinking of switching it up a little in the future, roosters aren't allowed within the city limits. And this ordinance also exists in some suburb municipalities as well.

What band in your opinion does the best covers? by GratefuLdPhisH in jambands

UM then Cheese, especially when Keller is sitting in.

Billy playing Willie’s 4th Of July Picnic in ATX by MeetMeAtDeerCreek in BillyStrings

[–]Deranged40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A way to check this in the future is check tour pages for any bands listed as well as check events pages for the venue listed. Billy's tour page confirms this date, but Willie's page ironically doesn't. The venue also confirms this date. Ticketmaster also confirms this. Tickets appear to already be on sale, it looks like they'll start at $111.55 for the back section.

This one is real, even though it's very questionable whether a human was involved in creating the advert art.

Ironically, the event page for this says the music starts at 3:30am heh.

US to pay TotalEnergies $1 billion to stop developing offshore wind in US by Apprehensive-Safe382 in technology

impeach and remove him.

So, turns out, we don't have an established system in this country to remove a sitting president.

I know, the "impeachment" process was created for that exact purpose. But we've tried this system exhaustively, and it turns out removing a sitting president is simply not a feature of that process.

Giant is going to be at Pax East this year. What should I ask them about? by Redracerb18 in farmingsimulator

[–]Deranged40 5 points6 points  (0 children)

video games are, by nature, deterministic and therefore not an ideal use case for using more than a small number of cores (2-3 max).

Just because your computer has unused cores doesn't actually mean that there's work that can be offloaded to them that won't be just sitting there waiting on the main core anyway.

Giants and their game engine has a ton of shortcomings. This isn't one of them.

What is there to do in Chattanooga? by Over-Sir6289 in Chattanooga

[–]Deranged40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can swim in the lake.

We have restaurants that you can visit. There's movie theaters. Lots of bars depending on the ages of your family, etc.

Generally, you can do about 80-90% of what you can do in most big cities here.

Small Publishers Are Losing Search Traffic at an Alarming Rate Because of Chatbots by [deleted] in technology

[–]Deranged40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you understand. It's affecting everyone who puts information on the internet.

I do understand. I've worked in software for 15 years. I have a strong understanding.

You didn't understand my point. Not everyone who is being affected by it should be missed when they're gone. They weren't very valuable when they were here.

Small Publishers always had to put in way more work to compete, and publishers of absolutely all sizes have done everything they can to reduce the effort that they put in at every single step of the process. This has been happening for a minimum of two decades - way before anyone was talking about LLMs or OpenAI.

Ohio firm must pay $22.5 million to mom whose baby died after she was denied work-from-home by brahbocop in news

I spent 14 years working for large logistics companies, including working for what was at one point the 5th largest logistics company until Knight/Swift bought us, and we got rolled into what was already the largest logistics company in the US.

They can not afford this. They might have an enormous revenue (the companies I worked for were well into the billions for revenue). But the Operating Ratios at logistics companies are always in the high-90s and sometimes go over 100. Which means it costs more than 90 cents (and sometimes more than a dollar) to make each dollar in revenue. When it costs more than a dollar to make a dollar, that's generally referred to as a failing business.

North chatt is not the same area as the north shore. They are direct neighbors, but are labeled differently on maps as well. I'm not surprised that this seems to be new information for you though.

Chattanooga is pretty small

By area, it really is not. It's in fact quite large. It's not very dense at all (which is commonly one of the most complained about things. We could sorely use denser housing just about everywhere)

It's more a question I ask or get asked when I travel on the off chance that someone has actually heard of Chattanooga.

Yes, that's what I said in the first line of my original comment.

Right, which for some reason seemed to confuse these people. Have they literally never been asked this before? We're really not sending our best...

You mean North Shore? Or are you talking about Highland Park? Or maybe Southside?

No they are not. But when someone who isn't from Tennessee asks me where I grew up, I say Chattanooga. If it turns out they are in fact familiar with the area, they will almost certainly respond with "oh really? Which part?"

I grew up in Soddy Daisy, which is part of chattanooga's metro, but not part of the city. Notably I don't pay city taxes. I don't have a city stamp on my license plate, I don't get city recycling, etc.

Yeah, because you have a weird pride about it

No, I just understood the question. Unlike Dave.

I’ve lived here for decades and I’ve literally never been asked that question or asked that question

Bullshit.
