AWS is built for production. It’s complex because it’s designed to create robust environments that can scale almost infinitely, that’s why half of the internet runs on AWS. But to make the most of it, you need to…
And it was HUGE, the microsoft logo was like 50% of the screen.
We’re 100% on Azure but so far there’s no impact for us. Luckily, we moved off Azure Front Door about a year ago. We’d had three major incidents tied to Front Door and stopped treating it as a reliable CDN. They weren’t…
I was drinking too much and i started to feel like maybe i had to drop it. But yeah, not quitting again.
Quitting coffee was a really bad experience for me. I had what felt like withdrawal symptoms: a strong headache, muscle aches, and I was really cold. It lasted for two days, until I took a minuscule sip and everything…
Some people reading this (systems engineers with a career) could probably retire, or at least downshift. Work just enough to pay for groceries, and spend your days doing what you actually want. Today we can access,…
Sad news. I played a lot of Dead or Alive 2 on the Dreamcast. He was always on the cutting edge of boobs physic engines.
Great find! and I don’t want to underestimate the discovery by any means, but... We humans are predisposed to see anthropomorphic shapes in things. I understand why that could be interpreted as a face, but at the same…
My first introduction to Linux was through Knoppix, the first “live CD” if I recall correctly. Maybe there was something before it, but I remember it as something new and magical at the time: being able to test a full…
I’ve been thinking about the impact of LLMs on software engineering through a Marxist lens. Marx described one of capitalism’s recurring problems as the crisis of overproduction: the economy becomes capable of producing…
In my experience, LLM-generated code is only as good (or as bad) as the software engineering skills of the “vibe coder.” A seasoned engineer will not only craft clear, detailed prompts that specify how something should…
It’s strange that you can patent gameplay mechanics. After all, gameplay mechanics are what define a genre. It’s like in literature if someone could patent the idea of a detective investigating a murder. How could the…
Oh the memories, i worked like... 20 years ago! on EDS for the Sun Microsystems account as a Solaris System Administrator. It's hard to explain how advanced was Solaris at the time, specially Solaris 10 which had…
Agree completely, the title is misleading. I was amazed by it by just watching the video, but this is actually a fan project. Which is cool, but not a prototype of the original game as the title implies, or something…
yeah, i suppose we bought "a license to use the car", like a really expensive entry fee. If the car was free and i was just renting it then maybe it makes sense, but capping something you bought is crazy and asking…
The idea of a service is that you pay a monthly fee and can use it during that period. It implies that the vendor has some kind of ongoing or recurring cost, or that they need to continuously provide or produce the…
This bug report is absolutely right
Don't worry, just press and hold the power button on the satellites until they turn off, then release and press it again to power them back on. Should be fine.
i know a friend that... (imagine adult joke here)
This will happen in production at a large company in the near future. I keep seeing more and more vibe coded AI implementations that do whatever... by anyone. And managers celebrate that the new junior engineer created…
The example in the article: > // TODO: If the user triple-clicks this button, the click handler errors because [xyz] looks more like a comment than a real TODO to me. I agree that comments like those are useful, but…
It was so hyped by Sun Microsystems that they even called their implementation of GNOME on Solaris the "Java Desktop System", even though there wasn't a single line of Java in it.
Well, but they are controlling that, the fact that they fail to check it shouldn't be on you. But besides that, if they consider that aliexpress is selling illegal stuff, they can easily block access to ali express in…
To me, it's kind of strange that buying and showing something that is sold legally (like a console purchased from China, which I assume went through customs, or even sold on Amazon in some cases) can make someone a…
A few days ago there was a similar message from Xbox, saying that AMD will power it's future hardware project, talking about a strategic alliance and so on. So, Mark Cerny is contributing on the next Xbox? At the end,…
