Realizing how many software engineering conversations pull probability estimates out of thin air is gonna radicalize me, a person who assumes that every probability estimate is OF COURSE based on empirical data and real statistics

@grimalkina 🤣 I wish. “We can’t byte-swap; it’s too slow!”
“Do you have performance numbers to back up that claim? Are you using the standard, non-branching method or did you make something stupid that detects at runtime what endianness you compiled to?”
“Uh… it’s just slow, okay?”

As you may remember from me talking about it once a week, the three things I most want out of a cell phone are

  1. RECTANGULAR screen with NO HOLES OR ROUNDED EDGES ON THE DISPLAY CANVAS

  2. Big bezel/bevel/whatever it's called so I can hold it without activating the touch screen

  3. Headphone jack

I search and search and even for high prices I usually cannot get these things

But the $35 carrier branded temp replacement phone I bought at the Wal-Mart by the airport?

All three

Here's a half-formed thought I need to mull a bit on:

Somehow, algorithmic (and especially "AI-driven") decision making tends to only be proposed in contexts where it can only — or mostly — affect those with the least power in the system.

Migrants and asylum seekers.
Prisoners.
Families using any form of state support (child benefits, foodstamps, etc).
Palestinians in Gaza.

It somehow never gets proposed for use-cases where it might affect the wealthy and powerful.

One wonders why. 🤔

I hate working with Ansible and Jinja. Is there some set of filters that will take a list of dictionaries like this and work without making Ansible loop and do multiple transactions per host?

 name: "{{ packages | ??? }}"  
 state: present  
 become: true  
 vars:  
 packages:  
- name:  
- gcc  
- gcc-c++

- libxml2-devel  
 version: "2.10.4-3"

@jborean there’s no version argument to the package, yum, or dnf modules. I can do this with a loop, though. I was wondering if there was a way to do it without the loop.

c0dec0dec0de,
@c0dec0dec0de@hachyderm.io avatar

@jborean I can also stick the loop on a set_fact and make a union of all the iterations before using that fact as the name argument to package which has some benefits, can be run_once, only one call to the package manager…

another day of having to explain (this time, to conference organizers) why, even though I have a VAT number, can make tax-deductible purchases, and pay a lot (a LOT) of taxes, I don't have a "company" and I can't afford their "business tickets"

ugh, turns out it was probably the GPU in my wife's machine that died and took the PSU with it. new PSU doesn't even flicker on when GPU 12V is attached.

suspect a hard short across 12V0 rail on the GPU, but need to check. but too much back pain to carry on with diagnostics today.

GitOps as explained: You merge your change and the thing’s changed!

GitOps as in reality: You merge your change and about a million lines of code in six or seven distinct distributed systems each take a swing at it and if they all work properly the thing’s changed.

@boki unexpected highlight of GitHub’s refusal to accept HTTP authentication for pushing code: it’s that much harder to make and push commits using the wrong account/identity. (I was a little worried about this)
