I’m more worried than ever about how people thought and trusted software was produced *before* this latest trend in production.

I haven't checked it in a while, but thanks for the reminder! finding component interaction failures in its database sure looks like a full table scan though

I don't know who oyster bro is and would prefer not to find out, but based on the name I'm hoping for some gnarly food poisoning

my little essay in this is called “I Would Like to Be Included in this Narrative” and it’s about casting as a technique in procedural storytelling to create granular, personalized moments

do any SRE folks have a collection of component interaction incidents beyond the "mars polar lander, navy fighter ferry missile launch" descriptions embedded in Nancy Leveson papers?

man

if you want to be more like Lemmy, and you think collecting nazi memorabilia is the right way to go about that... no. just no

"so what if I've stack-ranked over two hundred HoI4 mods, you play paradox map-painters too!"

"what do you mean, I just collect memorabilia and play Death Korps of Krieg that doesn't mean anything"

ubuntu is basically "debian, but more responsive to customer demand" in my mind, which either makes it a slam dunk or makes you scream, and that should make the choice obvious

assuming "aging macbook air" implies intel, I'm a pretty big fan of debian as Your Basic Linux. bit more work than say Mint (which is prob fine), but unlikely to surprise you and every LLM is trained on all the things about it. I think asahi is your only (maybe most mature) option for apple silicon

between this nonsense and lighting github on fire I'm excited to think that I might see microsoft die before I do

like I don't recommend it, but I also don't recommend getting scared of browning chicken thighs skin down good and hard

it was Really Upsetting for about a quarter of a second, and then it stopped. I _might?_ be able to feel it just a little when I blink, but that could just be my imagination

I'm trying not to think too hard about the mechanics of what happened, guessing "eyes are wet and water takes a lot to heat"

lmao

that said? not actually as bad as it seems when I write it out like that

I don't recommend getting a splash of hot chicken fat in your eye

honestly it's not even on my radar. a quick google suggests meringues and other whipped egg white things... wonder how it'd work in a soufflé

such a cruel joke

Boston Legacy’s Tattoo Glory Hole (imagine that)

Thanks to @jackiedigital.bsky.social for providing a quote about the experience.

sometimes I watch videos on, like, the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse as a perverse morale booster, just to remind myself that trad engineers fuck up and don't bother to measure stuff in the name of implementation convenience too

first read that as "this year" and it also works
