  • Reddit users hate NordVPN. Are their criticisms legit?

  • Yes, fuck nordvpn

  • What do you think about the doc Zeitgeist (2007)

    Jump

  • It was a college flavor of the month film that basically had 3 sections iirc. First was that Christianity is bullshit and how most religions have a bunch of common threads like the trinity, 3 day ressurection and how they lined up with astrology; Orion's belt and the winter equinox. Second was that the government are trying to collect intelligence on you, and how you will happily start tracking yourself soon and how they are training you to want that. This one is true about cell phones to some extent but was written in a time when the original RAZR fliphone was a technological marvel. And the third was pretty much bullshit iirc and op thinks it was that 9/11 was a false flag operation. But zeitgeist likely explained what they are and how they are effective. Widely available on the seas, and it was part of the social conversation. Which was in person Or rly smol txt limit

  • I've been riding my euc and escooter a lot; especially for quick food runs. I picked up a cambro go (insulated pizza carrier) and a wide low profile steel tumbler in an attempt to address integral slurpee collapse. I've been trying to look for some elastic canvas bags but might need to go custom.

  • Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch

  • I've been using copilot. Potential is there but getting a result is more art than science. I've found it helpful to document desired workflows in readmes and ask for unit tests then run unit tests until it works out.

    • use a premium model like sonnet and put it in agent mode
    • Ask it to review the project
    • ask it to review the ticket/requirements
    • ask it to research existing solutions and write a design document that meets the requirements with high certainty
    • Let it write the document and make sure it stays on task
    • review the output and send build errors back, roll forward or undo the code and re-submit
    • identify what works and reduce scope

  • You probably don't remember these but I have a question

    Jump

  • I offered 3 potential solutions that work across ever model (unlisted) and you guys are downvoting?

    • USB - apple 30 pin: note that the pin number might change depending on release year. Someone smarter than me will mention why firmware might not work out.
    • USB to aux: this will give you a headphone jack and is the most reliable
    • FM transmitter: if you lack a headphone jack you can also get an FM transmitter. It makes your device a mini radio station. These are pretty unreliable or staticy, but sometimes you need an option. I would recommend a new player first.

    Is there a way to get an AI to read a text in Trump's voice available?

  • https://elevenlabs.io/ You'll need to pay for premium to train a model with your own audio. They may have a trained version already

  • Which would give me more opportunities, studying devops or networks?

    Jump

  • I personally don't like the idea of migrating off Jenkins, we blew our yearly budget testing our build platform in git. But it's all just platformed ci/CD, which is why I'm recommending the other path. Platform teams lost the goal recently.

  • Which would give me more opportunities, studying devops or networks?

    Jump

  • US Sr SRE (devops) checking in: I would personally recommend the networking path. Caveat: A good engineer will know the background of both (curl, telnet, Iam, security groups, cidrs, domains)

    Devops was mostly automating the stuff in between the other teams; and most of that is working out of the box these days. Most repos already have their Jenkins and docker files. How much admin are you expecting on serverless? Most people are pivoting to app support (ticket queues) or supporting managed services (on call).

    As far as my day to day:

    • Troubleshooting incidents and walk ups
    • Answering pages (read restarting things)
    • Groovy Jenkins build pipelines
    • Cdk applications
    • Ruby configuration management
    • Parameter/secret management
    • Reading error messages for devs
    • Yaml/xml linting
    • Assisting in load testing
    • Changing settings to make the application more stable. Ex: db connections, memory
    • Cloud UI/clis

    Pros: I do a lot of different things, we get downtime because we need to respond to things immediately, I don't have normal project/sprint planning. I have the keys to the kingdom. Higher pay than most other devs. I hack things together, I don't need to design workflows.

    Cons: I am on call, I am the silliest clown (I get hardest problems), I need to understand a lot of moving pieces, sometimes when things break, there is a lot of pressure on you to find something hard. I regular have to Google "bash variable syntax" because I'm coding in 15 languages. Interviewing for jobs is impossible because no 2 positions are the same

  • git workflow

  • I set this up for seamless commits:

      
        
function gao() {
     git add .
     git commit -a -m "$*"
     git push origin `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`
 }

    Usage: gao fixing a typo

  • Atm Xbox is my most reliable media player. PlayStation isn't quite there, but would be a nice to have. My parents aren't very tech literate and they use their smart TV/cable box. I have a friend with an older Roku/smart stick that's incompatible. Have they added an app for Apple TV yet?

  • Amazon plans to lay off 14,000 managerial positions to save $3.5B yearly

    Jump

  • For managers at Amazon potentially, especially if they are in-office in larger cities with technical backgrounds. They might be quoting the recruiting number with benefits, it's usually close to 1.5-2x the gross salary. They also might be doing fancy amortizing math just to make it sound better than it actually is. They can also claw back pre-allocated project dollars by prorating 5 year contracts for anything terminated early so they can claim multiple years off a single contract / project. Still likely going to cost them a lot more than that, when they realize it's not going work out; even if it's only for managers.
