One of our junior DevOps, fresh out of college, lacks absolutely basic skills. Just today I was helping him debug a very simple find command and asked him what that command does. “I’ll ask ChatGPT” he said as he copied and pasted it into the chatbox.

I replied, “I asked what do YOU think it does” and he looked at me as if I was speaking some alien language. Now, I know and understand that find is not easy to master, but damn, this command was dead simple and had a typo on it, really easy to spot.

just today someone told me that Vocaloid was also AI music, they are either too dumb to make some basic fact-checking or true believers trying to hype up AI by any means necessary

Sharpening is a simple convolution, doesn’t even count as ML.

I really hate that everything gets the AI label nowadays

I’m on the same boat, I got 2016 around Eternal release date for like €10 and loved it. Then I bought Eternal just last year for a similar deal and I haven’t finished the DLC yet. I am more than happy to wait for DA to go on sale.

I sent a department wide email announcing a new release on an internal piece of software my team maintains, it was very concise, almost like a telegram, it was something like:

To everyone at this department:

Internal Software version 6 has been released.

Added support for ABC feature and fixed the issue with XYZ.

Full details in this link.

Kinds regards, me.

Shortly after I got a very verbose response by someone explaining me why should I use AI to write “better” emails, by better it meant longer and verbose. I replied with this comic

Terraform and Ansible do different things, they do have overlapping features, but ultimately they’re meant to do different things. I use them both at my current job with Terraform running Ansible

I’ve been using Ansible for almost 10 years now and one thing I learned is to keep things simple, most issues I had with Ansible in the past were due to me taking the wrong approach to problem solving. In way, it forced me to not overcomplicate things.

I’m not the biggest fan of it, but I do prefer it over other IaCs.

edit: tbh my biggest issue with Ansible is other people who ask me “why not wrtie a bash script instead?”

I categorise them by genre, but only those I’ve played. Everything else is unsorted and my backlog is whatever I have installed and uncategorised.

And these platforms will simply follow the money

This, remember that every single pride sponsorship and rainbow coloured logo was approved by a marketing department after extensive market research deeming it to be profitable

I was taking out the rubbish and I saw a girl trying to parallel park, a man walking his dog decided to help her and he couldn’t. Felt worse for the Samaritan than the person in need

they still own the twitter trademark, that might be their biggest asset

it does, or at least older versions of Android did

no no no, that was just Apple being brave /s

bot problem has been largely fixed now, there are some random human cheaters still, but they tend to get banned fairly quickly

not only that, heaps of cultures associate birds with rumours and news (a little bird told me that …). I was genius marketing and top tier branding

I managed to pass this as a kid and a friend invited me to his house so I could pass it for him. That was my peak and my life has gone downhill ever since.

Once I had a mission critical service crash because the disk got full, turns out there was a typo on the logrotate config and as a result the logs were not being cleaned up at all.

edit: I should add that I used the commands shared in this post to free up space and bring the service back up

That’s exactly the point I don’t get. Every single mouse I owned, I’ve replaced it because something physically broke. My previous mouse (Logi btw) was replaced because the scroll wheel and middle click stopped working, no software or firmware update would amend that!

everyday I’m thankful that Musk is not an US born citizen and cannot run for office. It’s the only thing stopping him
