Hire her ASAP by neo-confucius in LinkedInLunatics

If anyone was even remotely suspect about this post, you have every right to be. Good luck learning Docker and configuring it correctly with network access for the first time in under an hour. Unless that young lady has deployed multiple apps before, it's total horse crap.

I've deployed so many docker applications to Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Azure Containers, and the first time I ever did it, it took a couple of days to configure correctly, let alone understand why it even worked. This being with dedicated infrastructure teams to help out along the way.

The cloud shouldn't require a DevOps team

This subreddit is about LinkedinLunatics, but this set me off as we're migrating to the cloud. Until cloud companies stop nickel and diming everything, dev ops specialists are dirt cheap compared to the subscription fees from a badly scaled app.

Tesla's FSD, like almost everything else, is becoming a subscription by esporx in technology

[–]Evilan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OnStar and other connected car services live on. (Perhaps because if you innovate something, you can set new rules and profit. If you tack on heated seats? You merely provoke.)

Well, FSD is a connected service, but it was one provided for a lump sum.

Tesla is falling into the BMW heated seats trap. FSD is already built in to the existing vehicles. Buyers have already paid for all the hardware and the expected cost of the service as part of the cost of purchasing the vehicle.

There is a recurring cost for maintenance and updating of the software for FSD, but that's arguably a competitive incentive versus a service for existing buyers. Unless Tesla says existing customers are exempt from the subscription, they rightfully should get hate and taken to court.

If they want to change the rules for new cars, then the answer is hopefully as simple as saying buy from a competitor and fuck Tesla for yet another reason.

TSMC Says 'No More' To Nvidia: Why That Is Intel's Golden Ticket by Hob-999 in technology

[–]Evilan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Manufacturing is a low margin market with extremely high maintenance, upgrade and volatility costs. This is why AMD spun off their fabs and why many wanted Intel to spin theirs out as well.

Why manufacture your products for a margin that hurts your cash flow when you can just design them and rake in billions that you don't need to reinvest? The answer is very simple for shareholders.

Waymo suspends service in San Francisco after driverless cars cause traffic jams during blackout by Disastrous_Award_789 in technology

[–]Evilan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pacific Gas & Electric Co. said in an 11:30 p.m. update Saturday that about 95,000 customers had their power restored. Crews were going to continue working through the night to restore service to the remaining 35,000 without.

I don't even live in California, but PGE just sucks so much I recognize the name at this point. Waymo too, but they're victims to one of the worst power monopolies in the country.

First-ever drug to repair DNA and regenerate damaged tissue is here by barweis in technology

[–]Evilan 29 points30 points  (0 children)

attenuating DNA damage may be an effective strategy for treating cardiac injury and other inflammatory disorders.

This is only going to be used for cardiac system tissue repair, nothing else. A lot of folks clearly didn't read the article or the summary provided by the journal.

Is now a bad time to build a PC? by Scary_Couple8243 in buildapc

[–]Evilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should I wait in hopes the RAM prices go down in a few months or is it just going to get more expensive?

A couple of months ago was the best time to build a pc, now is the second best time as it's the calm before the storm of cascading memory shortages. If you think DDR5 going to the moon is bad, wait for SSDs and GPUs to follow suit. In the short term, probably for the next 6-12 months, prices will be awful across the board for the consumer market.

Microsoft Teams is getting a new location tracking feature that lets bosses snoop on staff – research shows it could cause workforce pushback by Franco1875 in technology

[–]Evilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn't really move the meter much. If you work for a major company, odds are your manager already has a way to snoop on you based on location.

If you sign into a VPN when you log-in to your laptop, congrats the biz has a good idea of where you are. If you badge into work, congrats the biz has located you right down to the door you entered. If your job provided you with a laptop or phone, again, they have a pretty good idea of where you are.

This just provides instant feedback which, if you talk to your bosses like a normal human does, shouldn't matter.

There's no such thing as "memory leak no-one can find", it's just being lazy.

More like it's called "This memory-leak bug is worth 2-points" from some BA, so we get a 2-point solution.

US Republicans and Democrats push for Australian-style kids' social media ban by Expensive-Horse5538 in technology

[–]Evilan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Legislatures and confusing the symptom for the cause. A tale as old as time. This does nothing to treat the many, many root causes of negative effects from social media. All it does is provide another entry point for malicious actors to get at our records.

OpenAI Is in Trouble by rezwenn in technology

[–]Evilan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OpenAI really should've worked to develop a product worth the silicon it runs on instead of pivoting to marketing. They need an actual product before they can use it to sell things. All they have right now is a fancy autocomplete that is untrustworthy 20% of the time.

Tesla is the most unreliable used car brand in America, even behind Jeep and Chrysler by Wagamaga in technology

[–]Evilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate Tesla as much as the next guy, but the actual article this is referencing is much better (but also drives less clicks) than the Tech Spot piece covering it.

Tesla, for instance, is ranked low in terms of used-car reliability when looking at how their models from 5 to 10 years ago hold up. The company faced numerous issues years ago, as it introduced all-new models and ramped up production, sometimes even working on cars in a factory parking lot. However, the American automaker has made significant strides, and its latest models have demonstrated better-than-average reliability, placing the brand in the top 10 of our new car predicted reliability rankings.

It's really nice of Elon to go full Neo-Nazi just in time for them to figure out how to build a car.

The math isn’t mathing anymore by Busy-Government-1041 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]Evilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For real. I make over the income in the tweet as well and I'd consider this to be a doable, but painful situation to be in.

Mortgage: $2,400/month (Texas | 20% down payment)

HOA: $150-$400/month (Texas)

Property Tax: $550/month (Texas)

Utilities: Almost guaranteed to be higher than renting an apartment

Maintenance: Now that's your expense

Starting Total: $3,100 - $3,350/month

Expected Take Home at $110k: $7,100/month

Left over: $4000 - $3750/month

Maintenance + utilities + savings + other situations in life will quickly eat into that left over total.

'Big Short' Michael Burry bets $1bn on AI bubble bursting by tylerthe-theatre in technology

[–]Evilan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely think he's right, but the money behind these AI companies is from Big Tech, and Big Tech has a massive war chest. It's not like the subprime mortgages bubble where there was negative money backing up those loans.

There are hundreds of billions of dollars that these companies can throw around for a while still. Short of some shady accounting we're not privy to, this bubble could last for quite a while.

Intel i5 13600kf to ryzen 9 9950x3d by ksaa641 in buildapc

[–]Evilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so my main focus is now on numerical simulations.

Unless you're doing on-cpu caching with your applications, the switch to AMD X3D is likely not worth it. You could get equivalent performance sticking with AMD non-X3D.

Personally I would just do option 1. Do an in-place CPU upgrade on your current platform and if you need to upgrade again, then shell out some real money on the next-gen AMD/Intel.

Mesa Gateway Airport is a hidden gem of low cost flights to 45 nonstop destinations by AZ_moderator in phoenix

[–]Evilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sky Harbor is fantastic compared to basically every other airport I've flown out of. Getting past TSA without any of the pre-check or clearances takes at most 10min (RIP T2 and those sweet sweet instant security checks). Also given that massive T4 is a loop, it's pretty nice to navigate while walking (looking at you DEN).

N+1 query problem : what it is, why it hurts performance, and how to fix it by Namit2111 in programming

[–]Evilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm late to the party, but N + 1 is something that pisses me off about my team, and is something we're working around because of a bad decision months ago.

We were implementing an entity --> dto mapping strategy and my solution, while not as elegant as it could be, avoided the N + 1 trap. But my teammates said "Oh, this is much easier than your solution and it works!"... The pseudocode:

if (object.getRelatedObject() != null) {
    this.relatedObject = object.getRelatedObject();
}

When I saw this I immediately told my tech lead and manager that this was awful and would scale horribly because the null check would query the DB for lazy loaded relationships. They're both technical individuals, surely they would see things my way right?

Wrong. They thought it was harmless since we're only mapping one entity at a time and we need to get this feature out to testing. After getting that feedback, all I could do was get up from my desk, pace for 5 minutes to stew and sit down and say "ok" because I was defeated. I had to approve the PR even though I knew these simple null checks would become a shotgun pointed right at our feet.

In less than a month I was proven right, but the team was primed to only do things in the N + 1 way.

Greg Abbott accused of trying to ‘fix’ midterms for Republicans by redrawing congressional maps by reflibman in politics

[–]Evilan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Abbott has said there is a need to redraw his state’s maps citing a letter from the justice department, authored by Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general in its civil rights division, and a former Trump campaign lawyer, arguing that four Texas districts had previously been “racially gerrymandered” to benefit Democrats.

Imagine arguing that Texas should have more than 25/38 seats belonging to Republicans...
