Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

Cynical is a word used by the frightened to describe the realistic.

I didn’t even bother reading this.

Naive.

Edit: I’m guessing you’re a straight with male with no children or family who are lgbtq.

B^U

Fuck tim Buckley.

Voodoo Monster 3D

Edit: wait I misread the assignment. That’s the first 3D accelerator I bought. I have no idea what my first gfx card was it was like 37 years sgo.

Man i feel that complaining about the free snacks 100%.

Covid was so hard for some of these kids because they had to fend for themselves during the work day while working from home. Constant complaints.

You and i would get along great i bet :D

Get fucked, NSA

I work in tech now, so I’m a lazy schlub. However, I’m also a college dropout out (English major) who had a ton of actual jobs in the past. Warehouse loading delivery trucks, worked in a cabinet shop, food service, etc. i

I think college grads who go into tech should have to work a normal job for at least a year before getting their tech job and making six figures right out of college.

Otherwise you end up with these entitled shitbags who complain that their company provided duck confit at lunch doesn’t have crispy enough skin (an actual thing that actually happened when i was at a big FANG company. Fucking unbelievable)

So even though I’m a techbro shitlord, i have respect for the people who work jobs.

lol what, a graph database for spreadsheet work?

Attack and dethrone god.

Same

Every insurance company: “sorry can’t cover it. Act of god”

This happens when the neutral goes out in a house. Usually the waterlines will handle it, but if the house has pex the ground will go through the gas lines.

Especially if a high voltage line comes down on a gas meter for whatever reason.

Definitely run away and call professional… everyone i guess.

Well if you want to be the one who retrofits google cloud to support it more widely, go to town. But I’m sure as hell not going to bother, I have other work to do. And also I don’t work at google.

Cloud infra engineer here.

Answer: I don’t think about it. Nothing fully supports it, so we pretend it doesn’t exist.

Nice fluffy python

I have a closet in my home office. On the floor of it is a sleeping mat and soft blanket as the base, and I have a weighted blanket on top. When I start getting overwhelmed (or just need a quick mid-day nap) I’ll go in there, close the door, and lie down for a bit. It’s isolated and quiet.

When my cat hears that door open she will rush to be included, and will cuddle with me.

That’s not really… possible at this point. We have thousands of customers (some very large ones, like A——n and G—-e and Wal___t) with tens or hundreds of millions of users, and even at lowest traffic periods do 60k+ queries per second.

This is the same MySQL instance I wrote about a while ago that hit the 16TiB table size limit (due to ext4 file system limitations) and caused a massive outage; worst I’ve been involved in during my 26 year career.

Every day I am shocked at our scale, considering my company is only like 90 engineers.

Just had to restart our main MySQL instance today. Had to do it at 6am since that’s the lowest traffic point, and boy howdy this resonates.

2 solid minutes of the stack throwing 500 errors until the db was back up.
