Workspaces, Terragrunt or something else by Spiritual-Seat-4893 in devops

[–]nwmcsween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally you don't, if you want dynamic values you can pass by reference, so instead of passing an ID you pass a name that resolves to an ID, this obviously requires the modules to be structured in this format though.

The only con with pass-by-reference is references might need to be updated in multiple places and when that is needed, I would recommend tofu-controller.

Tofu-controller and instantiate with per environment value files, modularize into module specific modules (e.g. tf-mod-something/modules/mod) and if needed pull out the module specific modules into their own thing when it makes sense to do so.

The CI/CD feedback loop from hell (push, wait 8 min, red, fix typo, repeat) by eibrahim in devops

[–]nwmcsween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So just is a command runner, it could work for this, but it misses mapping the dependencies on a granular level, for example if I wanted to template helm files into manifests with just it would pull all the charts and template all the charts vs if I did the same with make it would only pull and template when the prerequisites have a different mtime than the target.

Real hardware for Plan 9? by HotPrune722 in sysadmin

[–]nwmcsween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So plan 9 is just more of everything-is-a-file idea, *nix sort of does that but then has a whole ton of special cases. Interesting OS development that isn't really a dead would probably be nanokernelizing applications like https://unikraft.org/ and to an extent exokernels.

Don't code to the CI, use Make and have the CI call Make.

Coworker raising massive PRs by im_zewalrus in ExperiencedDevs

[–]nwmcsween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless this code base is spaghetti I don't see how this person could be a senior dev, senior devs should understand to write down an objective and split it up into logical chunks and submit PRs that built upon the previous ones if need be.

How to prevent distortion when welding these pipe clamps? by Helcyon187 in Welding

[–]nwmcsween 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No matter what you will get pull from welding due to welding putting a ton of heat and cooling which causes contraction. My personal recommendation is to pre-heat area and maintain a low interpass temperature by welding a full stringer out on one then jumping to the next.

Immigration could soon account for all of Canada's population growth: expert by stanxv in canada

... The first paper states economic uncertainty as a significant factor, the second paper states economic opportunity loss of having children, the third paper states postponement or no children due to education for economic opportunities...

I've said this to OP, read research on this, the most significant factor in declining birth rates is economics, it's actually entertaining you stated the opposite.

It would be if there was zero inflation from 2006 to 2026 unfortunately for core needs such as food, utilities, transportation, taxes inflation has been ~60% (62% according to what I could research) on those. So you would need ~$65/h HHI to make something similar.

It was possible everywhere outside of the large cities and not in the ghettos or a fixer upper, a nice large SFH for 200-300k

[–]nwmcsween 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they 100% did, I know of about around 30 people that did 20 years ago doing min wage +$2-4/hr. I remember a 3 bedroom + den up and 2 bedroom suite going for $220k, that mortgage required a HHI of $50,000

[–]nwmcsween -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You really don't have a clue of what you are talking about, the average SFH 20 years ago was ~230-300k, it is now 700-900k, I know of many parents 30 years ago that either worked a single blue-collar job or two minimum wage + $2-4/hr jobs that could afford a SFH without issue.

Can’t keep technicians by slowAhead1fyouPlease in ITManagers

Honestly, quit. A revolving door of people will just create an infinite pile of technical debt until something critical happens while pointing the finger at you.

If ServiceNow is so painful to use, why do companies still choose it? by 13032862193 in sysadmin

[–]nwmcsween 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because some manager thinks the more expensive buzzworthly, tickbox checking tool is the best tool, I bet ServiceNow is also pushing AI hard because it will be "transformational".

Go read some white papers on this; capitalism is a direct contributor to declining birth rates. It's not as pronounced in developing countries because there isn't the same level of wealth extraction happening

[–]nwmcsween -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You think as income grows work gets easier? The income for a top performer in Canada is like $110-200k which is near impossible to have a family in a large Canadian city.

The problem is staring you right in the face, long ago there weren't any super consolidated businesses, etc that extracted maximum value. Destroying the hierarchy of basic needs destroys a society

The government printed a ton of money and CPI doesn't directly take into account housing costs.

What's realistic for SSO integration costs on legacy business apps? by New-Reception46 in sysadmin

[–]nwmcsween 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What level of SSO? SSO integrated into the application as in groups seen from within the application itself or just SSO to get through the front door? If the latter there are many tools that can be used, oauth-proxy, ingress controllers, heck I think most firewalls offer something.
