Hah, came here to make sure someone had mentioned this! One of my favorites.
I was more active on WWIVnet, but I definitely remember Fidonet! Good times.
Same, I used Sonnet 4.6 with the prompt, "Write a simple program that displays a fleur-de-lis. Python is a good language for this." Took five or six minutes, but it wrong a nice Python TK app that did exactly what it…
Agreed, absolutely fantastic movie.
How else would you do it?
My wife was complaining this morning that her "promotions" were not getting sorted correctly. She will be happy to know it is an actual issue.
Then I log in to Linode or whatever and open a hole up in the firewall. That's easy. But Cloudflare rarely goes down, not really something I worry about.
Security. I host personal sites on Linodes and other external servers. There are no inbound ports open to the world. Everything is accessed via Cloudflare Tunnels and locked down via their Zero Trust services. I find…
I feel like every week there's a new doomsday article about coming recession, and yet one has not appeared. Of course, if you print it weekly, people start to believe it and eventually you'll be right for one reason or…
This very much sounds like something my wife and I have talked about. But I can't get it to load.
What if my home hasn't been upgraded to have an AI yet? Can it still join?
You do all that on 6-8 hours of work a week?
Something I feel like these conversations seem to miss is that it is not binary; you don't have to host hardware on-prem if you don't want to be in AWS. There are other clouds. There are Sungards of the world were you…
Seems like the way to know for sure is to test it. Wouldn't seem like it'd be hard to do that, especially if you have access to Catchpoint or something similar.
I 100% think this is the long term play. Once we figure out how to really have "remote only" companies, the "remote" part won't be "remote in the USA" but "remote in some cheap part of the world". We tried this with…
Why are we still printing things?
"I was asleep. The expectation that I would see it, much less respond to it, is crazy."
Ding ding... schools here are filled with kids wearing masks. One can argue it is not useful, but that is not the point at all. The point is, they wear them without complaint, every day. Hell, my kid has her mask on…
Hey, that's me. I returned a few books a day late due to flooding and racked up an $0.80 charge. I can't pay it online because the minimum allowed online is a dollar. I'd pay the dollar if it allowed me, but it doesn't.…
Cloudflare doesn't make any attempt to hide the fact it's serving requests; the "server" header says "cloudflare". The firewall logs show you exactly what rule triggers this behavior: ===== Ruleset ID:…
Don't use work equipment for personal activities?
I've been trying for years to get them to add a cut-through that exists near the house. Not sure why they won't add it, but it makes walking directions in the neighborhood make no sense.
Indeed. I've worked remotely for more than a decade now. I'm not opposed to going back to the office, but the value would have to be extremely obvious and high.
Seems like it's operational for me, but there are some issues ongoing: https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
How many email accounts does Gmail have? How many have you seen locked for no reason? It has to be a staggeringly low percentage. I understand the fear, of course.
