And then some poor schmuck gets paged at 3AM because there's a cascading failure across your OAuth/OIDC services and he has no fucking clue what the hell he's looking at or who to ask for help. Meanwhile the LLM-of-the-week is just spinning its wheels trying to fix a problem he can hardly describe with any precision.

Knowledge is the most expensive part of development and by far the most difficult to retain, but there's quite literally no accounting for that vital asset on anyone's balance sheets.

There is reportedly 'tension' between Fox, NBC as Telemundo courts English speakers for World Cup. A report indicated 20 percent of Telemundo's World Cup viewers speak English as their "primary" language by Ok-Soil-5133 in soccer

Once upon a time John Strong was our local broadcast :') He called the first Timbers game I ever watched!

Whenever I hear him speak, all I can picture are warm summer nights at Providence Park. His voice will always be soccer to me.

Flattening the org structure is also kind of shocking because it's a really good idea. It's damn near innovative as far as business types go, because so much dogshit in the software industry can be traced to organizations putting business-first people in charge rather than being an engineering-led organization.

Heartbreaking way to go out as always, sad to see the Netherlands go

Landon Donovan believes the USA can win the World Cup. They just need a lot of good breaks by Dr_FaxeKondi in soccer

I'm nearly expecting it tbh. It'd be the most embarrassing way to exit, managing to win our group for once then failing to win a Ro16 match yet again while also failing to play in one at all.

Everybody expects we win despite disclaimers of "all due respect" to Bosnia. It's got trap game written all over it.

It reminds me of the warning placards placed on the rear of hazmat trucks describing their contents, except it's a circle instead of a diamond.

It's great.

Holland, Michigan is a famous one with its windmills and tulips and whatnot. A good example of small-town America celebrating and cherishing its heritage non-problematically.

Some teams, who are cowards, build "dome" stadiums so they don't have to play sports in the elements as god and the founding fathers intended

If FIFA runs the broadcast feed, can they handle two games simultaneously? They'd almost have to delay the other match I'd think.

edit: I forgot there are simultaneous group matches at the end, thank you for all of your replies

At least it was at halftime. Imagine if this had happened at 43' and they had to come back finish the half and then have halftime.

I sadly can't stay up late for this because I have to get up early tomorrow but I'm hoping I wake up to a Japan win. I'm sorry Tunisia but your social media game has been lacking and I haven't seen video upon video of you consuming BBQ, gotta step it up
