@dcon Last week I had 220+ tabs open in Firefox. Now I'm down to 31 with a view to getting them all one one screen without scrolling.
I actually think this is helping.

Almost all of mine are various internal Confluence pages. Because trying to re-find the relevant page requires wizard-level abilities. And I'm just too .
edit: Just need to kill off 3 tabs to get to no-scroll.

Yeah, this.
Try drinking something like Dioralyte/Pedialyte.Gatorade Mountain DewBrawndo. It's got electrolytes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqT16kXIQRo
If you don't have the stuff mentioned around, just try putting a little bit of sugar and salt in water. (Normally you get
enoughtoo much of either of those, so no need to add them, but if you lose a ton of water you may want to fill that up.)Filed under: So I guess you can close an outer tag without closing an inner tag first

Um, my guy, firstly, it's Twitter, it's not like I have the room to expound unless you really really want a fucking awful subpar experience of being on a forum done badly. Secondly, you're arguing that serverless is the bestest deployment method and you assume that just because I give you some examples from my experience that worked out better in my favour, that I'm trashing your beloved.

Status: my god the butthurt. The amount of tech bros that evangelise serverless as the one true deployment method being told it isn’t… ouch.
Remember kids, if you reduce it just to how much less it costs to run regular servers than serverless for the loads at question, you’re entirely wrong and that opinion can be safely disregarded.
-
@Arantor Cost is almost always relevant, and almost all services never need to scale up to handling millions of simultaneous requests. Many of them never need to scale up to handling more than tens of simultaneous requests...
-
@Carnage said in The Official Status Thread:
goth butterflies
That's a cult.
But we do no kink shaming here.
-
@dkf it’s almost like I made this point but cost isn’t relevant. “I can tell you haven’t deployed anything to serverless.” Well, no, because I can do it cheaper on commodity hosting and I have options for scaling if I need to.
I think their argument boiled down to how quickly deployment can be setup being more important than cost or ability to scale.
It’s almost like this shit is more complicated than a single dimension but someone who’s been doing it for 20 years is just an old fuddy-duddy who isn’t keeping up with the latest tech.

@Arantor said in The Official Status Thread:

Does
serverless
cause an extra level of vendor lock-in?
If you have a complete virtual machine (including its operation system), you can perhaps move it from one vendor to another vendor without too much PITA. At container level, things may be already a little more complicated, as the operating system below is shared. And serverless...
-
@BernieTheBernie if these geniuses had actually built it properly, they could do that, but that’s not how they work.
One of the talking points was about how easy it was to get started on AWS to the point it was a one liner in one of their frameworks. I guarantee they had no understanding of what that framework did under the hood, meaning they were vendor locked in anyway.
-
@Arantor Being vendor locked to AWS doesn't bother me too much, tbqh. We have some of our systems integrated with them like that, but it is OK because we needed one of their more esoteric services... dedicated fibre connections between our data centers and theirs. We use it for highly sensitive data like full patient medical records. (The really expensive part is getting all the security certifications for the systems, and that's something we'd have to eat anyway.)
We have more sensitive data than that, but at that point we just keep everything offline; no connectivity path, no remote hacking. It's just so much cheaper that way.
-
@dkf I guarantee the tech bros I was butting heads with last night aren't that clever.

That does not surprise me in the slightest. They view everything through the lens of a totally unregulated Silly Valley VC-driven "growth" startup.
-
@dkf and with the presumption that they will succeed therefore in the case serverless is great - next to no costs while starting, then in theory outscaling the rise in hosting by hitting the big time.

Back when I had an ISP that let me run a server at home, it ran quite happily on an old, surplus PC — Pentium IV, maybe; I don't remember, but it was past it's prime even then. Most of the requests it got appeared to be pen testing — whether black hat or white hat (most were from my ISP's own network) I never figured out.

They’re already on the AI train. But the ones I’m getting at are the solopreneur “if you’re not making passive $5k MRR per project are you even a developer?” types. Aka the Silly Valley startup bros that ae all tech focused.
Twitter keeps showing me their nonsense, I engage because it’s funny to upset their precious world view with a dose of reality.

Not uncommon for new multi-Gbit cards to leave the legacy connections behind.

Status: Still under the weather. During the day, it's mostly just the coughs. Either longer headaching one or the rapidfire dizzying one. At night, the cough's not so bad, it's just this "brain fever" where I struggle to shut off my brain and wake up overheated. I'll get up, sit at my desk for 10 minutes with nothing to do (I've read the entire internet by now), and then try to go back to sleep. It's really made me aware of how much I need new pillows. Mine aren't ruined but they're definitely not as thick as they used to be. I've probably even got another set somewhere, but didn't need them at the time, so they're "lost" nearby.

Sure sure.
But the guy purchased a machine that literally will not work without much intervention from the networking team.

Really ServiceHow is doing you a favour.I was testing whether my access lets me... oh, right,.Well, yes, check failed succesfully.
Really all these accesses and whatnot are pretty superfluous. I'm not actually fully filling in this role, I'm just being a body while one of the two in this department are taking vacation. I don't need all the stuff, and what I do have is very much sufficient for a half week of anticipated-nothing-ness.

We kept going to nice restaurants, so it got expensive! (Sadly, several of those restaurants no longer exist because they were in Lahaina.)
