- GitLab actually implemented Actions first back in the day (called CI/CD). I remember GitHub was following their lead.
- Naah, I'm pretty sure history can find an example of pretty much anything. Here's another example (just less researched) -- Slavic dispersion in Europe. And I'm 100% sure there a lot of other examples of peaceful expansion or assimilation, because for the most history land was abundant, but shortage of hands to tend to it. There was just no reason to fight (and record it).
It doesn't mean some kings declared that land their own (some declared everything), but they couldn't enforce it. So usually it boiled down to main argument whether something is "yours" -- collecting taxes (aka tribute). As long as someone's can enforce collecting tribute, then they deserve to have the title of "owning" it.
Btw, One of the ways historians determine whether migration was mostly peaceful is by looking at archeological gender structure -- if there's a lot of female immigrants (e.g. Slavic expansion), then they are more likely to be moving by whole families. But if there are few females -- more likely it was invasion (e.g. Huns). Not absolute signal of course, as nothing is in history.
- I still don't understand why people don't remove the hyphens from UUIDs. Hyphens makes it harder to copy-paste IDs. The only reason to keep them is to make it explicit "hey this is an UUID", otherwise it's a completely internal affair.
Even worse, some tools generate random strings and then ADD hyphens in them to look like UUID (even thought it's not, as the UUID version byte is filled randomly as well), cannot wrap my head why, e.g:
https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaLogs/blob/v1.41.0...
- I tried to do that but found out there's almost no services that I would want to treat my account there disposable. If I bother to provide them my email address -- I usually also want to access my account there later (e.g check order status).
There are tens of services where I'd like it disposable, but hundreds of services where account is warranted. And some of those thousands will be compromised some day.
- What do you mean "all the way across the ocean". From where? The distance from Curaçao to the Dutch people is exactly zero.
What "right" are you talking about, is there an agency where we file a claim, and it issues us "rights"?
All people from all nations, tribes and states came from somewhere, sometimes even replacing the local population. Sometimes peacefully, like Anglo-Saxons pushed out local Britons in England, sometimes violently, like Normans invaded and conquered England.
Or like the rich and diverse American Indian history -- tribes came and went, sometimes replaced, pushed out, conquered or assimilated with previous peoples who lived there. Please define "right".
- Well you could change the email address you use for the financial services only, and keep it secret. Then it would be harder to impersonate you.
- > Caribbean nation of Curacao
It's the first time I hear someone calls Curaçao a "nation". It's just the normal Dutch island, not even some special status territory. Yes, it's in Carribean, but why do they omit "Dutch" and call it a "Carribean nation"?
- Well, how the vendor was going to apply other security updates if they cannot update their basic security trust store?
If the vendor is really unable to update, then it's at best negligence when designing the product, and at worst -- planned obsolescence.
- Same thing with IDE plugins. At least some are full-featured by the manufacturer, but I couldn't get on with VS Code as for every small feature I had to install some random plugin (even if popular, but still developed by who-knows-who).
- Aka "coding". I see what you mean ;)
- Sorry, I mean there was a point at which someone decided "let's go Azure". And that point was when AWS/GCP were already well-established (and provided Windows VMs for a long time).
So the only reason I see why they still wanted to go with Azure is the love for Microsoft.
- Spot on! Now add one more dimension (from machine learning projects and pretty much other research fields) -- you also never know if the result are going to even work.
Maybe the data just doesn't have the correlation you want. Maybe you just didn't try harder, never know for sure. But owners reasonably demand some estimations.
- Why don't they use DisplayPort 2.1? It's just superior. Why stick to HDMI?
No wonder why Apple took DisplayPort-Mini port for their Thunderbolt interface. Back in 2011!
- Naah, Rust from Steam just doesn't even launch on Linux for me (Mint aka Ubuntu aka Debian). Regardless of "Compatibility" choice of Proton. So there's no opportunity to even choose the server.
- No, our existing infrastructure has existed longer than Azure existed. Azure is pretty new in town, I doubt there was much infrastructure built on it. So I believe people really wanted to re-build their infra out from AWS or GCP into Azure in the first place.
Basically my point is -- why rebuilding existing GCP/AWS infra into Azure in the first place? More so if it wasn't on any "cloud" at all before.
- Wow people love Microsoft so much that they are ready to go to such lengths to pay them money.
- Don't know the true source, but google shows the following quote:
"Communication is a sign of dysfunction. It means people aren’t working together in a close, organic way. We should be trying to figure out a way for teams to communicate less with each other, not more."
- I remember Jeff Bezos said that something like promoting more communication/collaboration is wrong.
And managers should focus on making people working independently.
- I know, right, it's not like, like software rots or whatever.
Wrong. Don't use B-Tree for random indexes, there's HASH index exactly for this:
