They don't feed the males - they just kill them.

They are referring to the original doge meme of the dog, not the government initiative today. I guess "quote" isn't really the right word, more like "doing"

they are referring to doge the dog meme, not the government initiative. The meme is much older and wouldn't be considered "cool" to use by the same people who write in the style of the article. Which indicates it was written by an LLM, because usually only things like ChatGPT throw in such cringe, out of date memes in an otherwise obnoxiously 2025 article

Isn't this already common knowledge?

My partner attended the RCA recently. I'm their cohort of around 80 students, 60 of them were from China, and around 80 percent of whom had English so poor you couldn't hold a conversation. I don't mean to be rude it is true.

During safety briefing they'd, say, walk down a hall, then lecturer would say "turn right" and they'd turn left.

The remaining 20 were also international but had decent English.

Doesn't matter though because the only "teaching" that happens is lectures throughout the term. If you can whip out a good final assessment you get the degree all the same.

Jens Larson is trending in guitar right now. Has amazing jazz lessons!

A British academic "rolling eyes" at efforts to decolonise their material. Yikes but also typical. Mathematics is a pure subject, and logic itself is not colonial. Of course. But academic institutions do retain aspects of colonialism in their teaching. It's not a wild idea to take a moment and consider how your department may be complicit.

You only hurt yourself by drawing a line between academic knowledge and work knowledge. Very few people are actual geniuses that just retain information. Rather, most people know about things because they use them every day, that's all. Professors and researchers know CS stuff because that's what they need to get a paycheck. You know K8s because that gets you a paycheck. The fact that the former is called "knowledge" and the latter a "skillset" is just a technicality that shouldn't bother you. All knowledge is equal. If you need to know more CS stuff you will learn it no doubt!

Instruments without frets don't have this problem. I played violin for many years. When you play a double stop (two strings at the same time), since there are no frets, you can play true 3rds, 6ths etc. The harmony is so "pure" that it causes a third harmonic to ring (which is how you know you're doing it right). My violin teacher always insisted that e-flat and d-sharp are not the same. When you're playing in different keys you have to put your finger in a slightly different place.

Going no-ANSI is still a viable strat imo

What is dogfooding

The last company I worked for was essentially finance bros who had a no-code investment solution but wanted to sprinkle ML on top to get clients. Suddenly it needed to be able to run air-gapped on prem. Oh also on Ali cloud in china. Oh also on GCP and AWS hybrid. Business promised the clients it was ready before we even started building. 90% of the team was under 25. We tried our damned hardest. Used K8s to make the whole thing platform agnostic. It worked but it cost a lot. Business people are the worst.

Agreed. To go further, I think people don't even want quality content. And on the internet, they just want the feed. They don't want reccomended videos to choose from. They don't need a comment section. The search bar doesn't even matter. Turns out the best way to engage people and get them to use any platform for hours is to just give them a feed. It's why TikTok, YouTube and most Meta products all have stories that just autoplay. That's the future

Your last point is why I use it. I think many don't know you can configure it to open apps, run commands, and open splits on start. Super helpful when projects get big!

This is great! FYI for those who haven't seen, BigQuery can also run statistical learning methods directly on your data as part of the query. Really cool to see ML going this direction.

AWS has their own crontab syntax, slightly different from regular Cron. But there is no validation tool before you submit something. It just rejects it. I want something like crontab.guru but for cloudwatch syntax. It's such a small usecase but it'd be great.

The problem is that these products are way too still-in-development. You want to use knative, istio, kubeflow and OIDC auth? Get ready to open some pull requests and start following Gitlab tickets you have no control over. I say this as someone who has rolled a full knative, istio, kubeflow stack in multiple clouds and on prem. Good luck making it bank-grade security compliant... The ecosystem just isn't there yet. There is so much pain involved still.

There are larger differences, even in grammar.

Brits will say "I've lost my keys" using the present perfect to indicate something in the recent past. On the other hand, Americans will says "I just lost my keys" using the past with 'just'. These are grammatically different tenses and I think this constitutes a significant variation between the two. This is often overlooked.

Moreover, Brits will more often say "I've got" and American will more often say "I have". You can find this in ESL textbooks and by talking with people. For such a fundamental verb, I consider this a big difference.

Running Linux desktop is slightly sadistic. I've wasted days trying out the hottest distros, the latest wm, configuring drivers, etc. It's just ... not worth it. All claims of increased productivity are noise. It's not the brush you choose - it's the art you make. Just use whatever you already have and get on with it.

Have you found a scalable solution to manage layers with infrastructure as code? As soon as I introduced them to my team, they started demanding exploitations of the process and it became a mess. Would love to know the best practices! Also beware of EFS, our applications did some heavy lifting with EFS and we found a bug that broke our stack. Not sure it's completely production ready. Took Amazon well over a year to find it and reimburse :)

There was a YT video about a year ago when they first released the EC2 mac instances, and they showed a clip of someone unloading a truck full of mac minis on a forklift. It is really just a bunch of mac minis in a sled. Nothing special going on here.

Awesome project! I hope in the near future, small to mid size dev teams can use architecture like this to run ephemeral dev environments locally and save tons of money by moving off the cloud. At the end of the day, EKS and GKE require too much ops experience when they scale. Raspberry pi based local solutions have the potential to democratize solutions architecture within organisations.

Relationships exist outside of productivity and usefulness. Don't ruin it plz.

AWS costs are somehow always higher than your estimate. Even when using their little calculator. That's the dark pattern right there.

Using dev and master branches is anti pattern and does not scale. Soon your QA team wants a QA branch. Then business wants a branch for demos. The DevOps ... Etc. Use tags. You only need one branch called "main". The way open source projects do it is best, look no further!

Do people still use IDEs? I've worked as a web dev for years and the only person I know who used an IDE was an older DBA. Honestly just learning how to run and compile shit from the CLI is the most direct way to learn to program, and not that hard. VSCode is free? I learn this way both on my own, bootcamp, and now in grad school. Only older YT videos suggested Eclipse and such

This is a really nice solution. For the 99% who don't work for a place with a massive DevOps team, this approach is a nice middle ground that actually works. If management doesn't like it they don't have to know. These scripts are for getting through the day with 10% more energy to spare at the end.

This would be good for a chip8 display
