Amazon needs to take "verified purchase" review requirements a step further with camping gear and require that you have actually used the thing before you review it.
Nearly everything you would expect to be destroyed in the line of duty if it was made cheaply/improperly is filled with reviews like "I love this thing so much! I haven't used it even once, but it's great." You have to dig around for the few truth-tellers who post "This thing is a flimsy piece of shit that melted in 5 minutes."
All this being said, you absolutely should be vetting your containers with at least an iota of due diligence. If they're curling from a rando's GitHub repo and piping a script into sudo sh, then maybe look elsewhere.
I just don't think that I need to care as much about the officially-blessed redis container image from DockerHub, etc. ... attackers could pwn me from a local redis binary install just as easily (or easier) given my level of expertise with this stuff (which is ... not great).
Using the phrase "a gentle reminder" does not make your reminder gentle in any way. It instills your reminder with no positive qualities it did not already possess. If anything, it is nearly the opposite, and serves to imply that the one doing the reminding is at least mildly irritated at having to remind you--and likely not for the first time--about whatever it is.
Starting to build out my own #CSS#MicroFramework to use in a few of my sites. Not bad for an evening's work! ๐ช 1.5kb minified and gzipped, but I have yet to add a few critical components (header bar, navigation menu, etc.). It's been a fun exercise so far. ๐ https://github.com/haliphax/nubbins/
As a software engineer, I use very little math beyond simple arithmetic, and rarely.
As an amateur carpenter making a brain-dead-simple structure for hanging plants, I am whipping trigonometry and ratios around like a t-shirt over my head at a frat party. ๐
Local (public) elementary school coach just used the parents SMS group text to post scripture and ask that everyone attend his church this Sunday, where he is the pastor.
Trying so hard not to lose my agnostic shit right now.
At the point in my website's #perf journey where I'm about to abandon the idea of #CSS frameworks altogether and write my stylesheet from scratch, including only exactly what I need ๐ง
@haliphax there's very little engineering in anything software, unless you change "engineering" to just mean "building stuff". I've been a programmer for more than 20 years and I've never seen much of our industry hit their precise goals with confidence that the thing they built won't break. Can you imagine agile building of a bridge? How do you iterate?
@davealvarado I get the example, but I've always felt that comparison was apples to oranges... Or even framing something as a negative that is one of the unique qualities of the overall discipline that let someone like me even get a foot in the door
If you could iterate bridge development without hurting anyone, that would be cool as fuck
I've now heard multiple folks admit that they agree the way #CoPilot was trained was unethical, but they use it all the time and love its benefits, seemingly oblivious to the facts that:
Their own ethics are therefore (easily) compromised
This is a microcosm of the exact issue they see as problematic
This is absolutely what the owning corporation was hoping for
@anderseknert Folks have to challenge it in court, which could ultimately dismantle all of the license's protections. Then again, if they're not enforced, they're not really protecting anything other than to suggest the possibility of legal ramifications. It bends very heavily to the advantage of the opportunistic asshole/corporation.
I suppose I should properly introduce myself. I'm haliphax. I like futzing around with #TextMode applications. I've been in "full stack" #WebDev for just over 20 years now and love to write #Python / #TypeScript projects, but my day job involves a lot of #AWS, #microservices, and #Kotlin.
