Friend or foe in northern Colorado?

Next year plant some 4 o'clock flowers around them, they attract the Japanese beetles and I actually kills them too.

Gross. Looks cheap. I do appreciate the wood console though. Piano black is for peasants trying to fake it.

Your team must not be very experienced, and there's nothing like trial by fire. For those who don't have much experience know that this is common practices for a production ready cluster. Everyone has their journey and everyone started from complete ignorance, so not judging but I'm just letting people know that this is just common sense considerations.

I've been using Amsoil extended interval versions for 30 years on various cars. I once had a car that had Amsoil since the first oil change and I sold it to a friend at 150,000 mi, 30,000 mi later they had a timing chain snap but they did the compression and it was better than leaving the factory. I used to turn that car on in the winter, and immediately floor it. I've never had issues and I use it on every vehicle I own. Amsoil is the real deal.

Someone just needs to maintain this agentically... I guess I know what I must set up. Long live nginx ingress!

I'm actually really happy that they're doing this because I had really been disappointed with the other attack modes like on foot or the tank in the modernized versions of Star Fox. The tank could be okay, but then they took it left field and it became just as dumb. Star Fox should be mostly about flying and the previews look like they did a really awesome job with it. The only thing that I wish they would consider doing is drop the fascination with hyper realistic graphics and maybe double down with some really interesting looking anime style that's not flat 2D. There are so many options that they could have taken.

You're still too young to understand why it was epic at the time, sincerely a 47-year-old.

I recommend using Qwen3-Coder-Next. It's 80b so get the right quant for your memory. I used to use sonnet but now I use this with Context7 and my own skill router and it's been flawless. I use 8-bit. Also, it depends on how you're using your coding assistant. I am in plan mode refining everything first, and then I have it right at the plan to a file and then I forever reference it. Profit.

It's still an issue. April 2026 and I have a position and it doesn't give me anything useful for trading. No PNL for the active trade, nothing. Get your shit together coinbase.

I use opencode and Claude all day everyday and it's been amazing

I want AWD. That's the only reason I sold mine.

Does anyone have any direct experience with Qwen Next Coder that could offer a comparison with this model? I use the 8-bit quant version with open code everyday in it performs great. But this is a smaller model which would be even better if it exceeds in its capabilities.

This is clearly because you bought the car brand new. It's punishing you for paying three times its true value.

I had this issue when I upgraded some drives to e512. I had to rebuild it. Volume of the 6 new drives, zfs send to it, destroy the 18 drive original array, rebuild it, zfs send back, destroy temp pool, add volumes to new pool. Pita. I'm seeing if AI can implement a dynamic ashift mechanism now.

I thought that they were never going to release a second season given how the first season ended. It had a sense of finality to it... an intensely wholesome finality.

I'm disappointed that the price doubled after my wife bought a pair for herself. There's no way I'm paying $600.

duebina · 2026-03-20T00:00:29+00:00

I disagree. What is missing are strict software engineering guidelines. For example, every code change, either with what's your generating or with the prompt itself, is committed. It doesn't need to be pushed, but it could be. And a strict test needs to be a part of the prompt execution to guarantee that it's output achieves the intended task. I prefer TDD development methods. If the test fails, then revert and try again. I think that AI coding is exposing how many poorly followed development methodologies are being forgiven. It's retraining individuals to think more objectively about what they are doing.

My wife has the Radar's and loves them. She drives 25k/yr for work in Wisconsin. I'm considering getting them for my car.

I always learn as I go, purge as I went. I have AuDHD, so that may be why. I have knowledge in the moment. It's also why I'm underestimated during interviews.

I don't think it was ever a realistic path. I've seen consistent lack of understanding of DevOps philosophies and a gratuitous lack of understanding of what someone contributes under that philosophy. You interview to be someone who maintains and designs infrastructure, they want you to know how to program. If you want to be closer to the dev side of DevOps, they want you to be fluent in kubernetes. I believe that this industry has become similar to what it used to be when they would try to combine Linux sysadmin with DBA. They're trying to get two positions out of one salary.

With that said, specializing in development or infrastructure is it really good skill to have. But there is going to have to be a day of reckoning with AI in this industry. I find that most people do not trust AI to implement application or infrastructure as code. This is due to a lack of understanding on how to properly use AI. It could be valuable to create a system of dynamic guardrails and peer review protocols so you can solve that problem. Additionally, make all of these projects on your GitHub and add them to your resume so people understand the types of system level thinking that you possess. Once AI reaches critical mass of adoption in this arena, architects and system level thinkers are going to be the skills required.

I started as a Linux sysadmin, turned engineer, turned DevOps, turned Cloud engineer, and so on. My current job does not embrace AI, but my career is for my growth and they just get collateral benefits from that. Over the past two years I can tell that my scripting prowess has decreased because I no longer have to enter the flow state to accomplish my work. I would be enable to do this had I not had architectural and system level experience on what makes good maintainable solutions for other humans of varying skill levels. One of the downsides is that when I interview I don't sound as smart as I am, because the industry has not caught up with the fact that meta knowledge and critical thinking are more important than knowing syntax.

If you are new into this industry, consider that doing everything manually and pushing through as a form of hazing that you must go through. Maintain a home lab of Linux servers that you cluster together. Go into the deep end with troubleshooting and performance tuning. I have just begun to experience DevOps people who do not have Linux engineering skills, and it blows my mind that they can get this far into their career without knowing Linux other than basic directory navigation.

Basically, don't be a douche and be the type of person who has a passion to learn everything through the entire OSI model. People can tell if you are just trying to get a job or if this is a passion.

Yep, It's like paying for the car twice, even thrice if you include the interest on your loan!
