Whoosh

You mean when plused strings stopped? Because that was tragic as hell

Just because you can perform a job from home, doesn’t mean it’s ideal for performance. With

You’re refuting an assertion made by NO one.

No one said all jobs can be done remotely. When the site consolidated equipment or media somewhere, and there’s no way to manipulate stuff remotely then - of course - it’s not a remote capable job.

We’re ignoring that buses are just big drones and surgery has been performed by servos or volunteers at the direction of a specialist far away. But you make a point, as has been made before, that a lever which cannot yet be pulled by a remote action needs an agile meatbag to do so.

The point that has been made - oh god, thousands of times - is that jobs that can be remote, should be. And that egotistical managers needing to feel better by staring at asses in chairs all day and knowing they were forced there through threat of food insecurity, that’s not really a justification.

Amazon’s demanded its devs come back into the office for no value, despite the personality type of those devs, an objective assessment of the workpace they’re forced into - toxic - and the need to live within commute range to get there, limiting housing options for the workers and severely limiting the talent pool for companies. These are people who can, would, will and did the same work better and happier in an environment of their choosing - be it central office or personal office. Now they have no choice but to bend to the will of their boomer-esque managers who forgot it’s not the 1900s anymore.

For remote-capable jobs, the only reason workers need to take risks and spend more money to physically commute is purely and simply egos of bad managers.

That’s it. The dead weight they need to shed was in the office the whole time.

I also understand IT security is dramatically complicated by user’s working on their private network connection or even private client devices.

As otherwise mentioned, it’s actually straightforward.

I work in the daytime on some pretty well-secured stuff; not “secret squirrel” but “people data” stuff. There’s a LOT of forms to sign, and they want to ensure you’re not working on a shared patio but in a real, dedicated office space that is ergonomically optimal and private, with a few other rules, but the effort that started as a panic on COVID day 1 proved workable and they’re going with it. They sold the offices in the dank ugly building. And this org is actually insanely cautious and works with cautious entities, and even they could work it.

At night I work for a different company on different shipped gear… and a KVM switch to go from one set to the other. They’re all segregated and secure, and the night job I’ve had for 22 years with only two invites to fly down to the office for a visit in that time. Barbecues, actually.

I have a lovely view of the river.

It works. You have to be sensible and secure, and then you’re golden.

… And yet, we isolate the president from the country as if the country did.

That’s. The. Point.

Ever? That’s a lot.

In my region, because our third ancient migrants stayed from the time the second migrants were violently wiped out until the whitey settlers traded with and not of them, we start every official meeting thanking them for the heroes they portrayed in their flawless oral histories.

Why doesn’t the DNC start every congress by mentioning the victims of this cruelty once each, like

Amber Thurman, 28, died when routine care was denied to her because it’s also used in abortion procedures. She leaves behind her own children who will never know her, and I thank Governor Kemp for his concern for Ms Thurman’s family in these trying, tyrannical times.

It just needs commas. Having watched the “no child left behind” generation grow up, this is absolutely not out of the ordinary.

The idiocy of the statement is still in tact

I like how the meaning of this sentence changes with the gratuitous space.

That’s a terrible sword to live by. How do you expect to get blood, then? If you’re unconscious you can’t take it by force.

I use it for Ansible, so not for code, and just to reduce the time my brain is exposed to Ansible.

Good old curl|sh

You can see the non stop complaints in the Google Search Support forums about the issue if you scroll down to that time frame. There is also this massive Reddit thread with complaints

But, strangely, not a complaint was heard.

When slang sounds like someone dropped out at the 3rd grade, then we’ve made that Mark Twain choice.

ZFS. It’s come so far, and it has so far to go. but it’s a good concept for sure.

Firefly.

I fear the vengeance from someone else’s crime.

So we’re potentially making it harder to get the better candidate elected, just because she only supports a given cause - no matter how important - better but not best.

This sounds like less a “when we have the better candidate we have a chance” and more “fuck the kids, fuck the students, fuck Ukraine, fuck the climate, fuck women’s rights, fuck everything if we can’t have this one thing”.

Make sure to apologize to 150 million women and girls for holding their rights hostage. It’s gonna do wonders for your support.

Either way, you still have my support; but this one worries me and feels short-sighted.

This is a different take on the VMscare broadcom purchase.

The real losers here are SoHos where it is too pricy to migrate and also too pricy not to. I don’t know whether that’s in your 1% or 99% but:

• devs don’t develop for infrastructure their customers don’t use. It’s as dead as LKC, then.
• big customers have deprecated their VMware infra and are only spending on replacement products, and if they do the same for docker the company will suffer in a year.

If docker doesn’t have the gov/mil revenue, are we prepared for the company shedding projects and people as it shrinks?

Remember: when tech elephants fight, it’s we the grass who suffers.
