Old Man Yells At Cloud Provider

Good riddance.

That Grand Seiko is a Spring Drive. You don’t buy that to look cool, you buy that because you’re into watches.

This is DOA imo. Especially since their ad-based fridge fumble.

So basically until the electronics are adapted.

I’ve decided I don’t like Brie. I’m more of a Camembert person.

Well, you’re forgetting that the M4 and M5 iPad Pro’s already have an OLED screen that is up to 1000 nits. It’s called a Tandem OLED.

I can envision a dystopian future where the main currency is working nixie tubes.

Talk to your kids about neodymium magnets.

For some reason I can't work on a Mac with a mouse, and I can't work on Windows with a touchpad.

Usually people that are not in the field deep enough to know the difference between right and wrong.

That’s the genie in the bottle isn’t it? It can grant your wishes, but boy be real specific about what you want cuz…

There are basically only two positions in the debate about heroin.
1. I’ve never tried it and it sucks.
2. I use it all the time and it's great.

How about we start by making scrutiny directly proportional to one's wealth?

File matching patterns reference - Azure Pipelines A reference guide that can help you to understand the file matching patterns for Azure Pipelines and Team Foundation Server (TFS).

Apparently it’s OK now for Microsoft to just include a disclaimer that official reference documentation might be wrong because it’s generated by CoPilot.

If this is the future, I don’t want it.

Yes. I see this all the time and it’s frustrating. ToList() everywhere.

There’s a case to be made for interfaces where you want to be able to substitute, so generally I use IList<T>.

German identity card - Wikipedia

In Germany it’s required.

Check your facts before making accusations.

First of all, I did not say ALL countries, but most.

Second, UK is not EU.

In Europe, your drivers license is not your photo ID. We carry a national ID card, which also serves as proof of citizenship.

As a foreigner, this never struck me as strange. Whenever I travelled to the US, I always had my passport on me.

We’re required to carry our ID card at all times anyway. This is true for most EU countries.

Turns out I was just editing the wrong yaml file this whole time.

You can have all the experience and intricate knowledge in the world blind you from the simple stupid truth.

I was looking at everything, from making sure it was being deployed and what the exact values were configured in Rancher and just couldn't figure it out.

I've been hacking at this helm values yaml for the better part of the day trying to get my ingress configured correctly and I kept being baffled that it just wouldn't work.

Congratulations!

I keep wanting to give feedback to CoPilot to explain what really happened and how we can avoid the issue in the future in the hopes that it will learn and pass on the knowledge. I know, a fool's errand.

Maybe one day.

It just feels like the constraints were misidentified and at each crossing the wrong turn was taken.

That said, finding ways to decompose it and making the whole thing stable to begin with is rewarding.

I've spent the last few months fixing a code base that is setup in such an overly complicated way that I find it hard to find empathy for those who wrote it. It is seriously mind-bogging and the mental capacity needed to unwind it has been wearing on me.

How do you handle the high rate of WTFs, mentally?

I am watching the Jake Gyllenhaal Road House with the volume turned down, cranking NIN’s TRON:Ares soundtrack. It’s called cinema.
