I sent a department wide email announcing a new release on an internal piece of software my team maintains, it was very concise, almost like a telegram, it was something like:

To everyone at this department:

Internal Software version 6 has been released.

Added support for ABC feature and fixed the issue with XYZ.

Full details in this link.

Kinds regards, me.

Shortly after I got a very verbose response by someone explaining me why should I use AI to write “better” emails, by better it meant longer and verbose. I replied with this comic

As a non native speaker, it really irks me when people mix up “brake” and “breake”, specially among car enthusiasts.

Terraform and Ansible do different things, they do have overlapping features, but ultimately they’re meant to do different things. I use them both at my current job with Terraform running Ansible

I’ve been using Ansible for almost 10 years now and one thing I learned is to keep things simple, most issues I had with Ansible in the past were due to me taking the wrong approach to problem solving. In way, it forced me to not overcomplicate things.

I’m not the biggest fan of it, but I do prefer it over other IaCs.

edit: tbh my biggest issue with Ansible is other people who ask me “why not wrtie a bash script instead?”

Indeed, YouTube had auto generated subtitles for a while now and they are far from perfect, yet I still find it useful.

And these platforms will simply follow the money

This, remember that every single pride sponsorship and rainbow coloured logo was approved by a marketing department after extensive market research deeming it to be profitable

I was takings out the rubbish and I saw a girl trying to parallel park, a man walking his dog decided to help her and he couldn’t. Felt worse for the Samaritan than the person in need

Old peak design bags do not have unique serial numbers, but batch numbers shared among many bags. Not defending PD, but if that’s true, there isn’t much they could’ve done to help with the investigation even if they wanted to.

I think the narration was great, the children just appear at the very beginning of the book

and the Fork doesn’t publish to the GPlay store, so I hope the fork continues to be maintained even if it is just keeping up with the latest release of syncthing only

Hey Wikipedia what does DJI stands for?

SZ DJI Technology Co., Ltd. or Shenzhen DJI Sciences and Technologies Ltd. (Chinese: 深圳大疆创新科技有限公司; pinyin: Shēnzhèn Dà Jiāng Chuàngxīn Kējì Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī) or DJI (大疆创新; Dà Jiāng Chuàngxīn; ‘Great Frontier Innovations’) is a Chinese technology company headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, backed by several state-owned entities. DJI manufactures commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for aerial photography and videography.

Used to live in an earthquake zone right in front of the ocean, so tsunamis were always a risk.

So I kept a bug off bag with water, clothes, blanket, cereal bars, lights and a battery pack ready to go by my bike.

I did use it once and skipped all over the traffic going to the shelter. Fortunately the water didn’t rise enough to be a threat, but I thanks to the peace of mind the bag brought, I didn’t even stress during the evacuation

As a non American who has never been to the US, but grew up well within its sphere of cultural influence.

I thought that about half of the population was black, maybe 40% minimum. I was surprised to learn that it was just above 10% in reality.

20 years ago my country used to look up to the US educational system and tried to adopt their methodologies, I’m glad we didn’t

they still own the twitter trademark, that might be their biggest asset

I’ve been using ULauncher for a while and I’m quite happy with it, it has plugin support too.

Yes, Clonezilla runs off a live USB. If it is large enough it can also store the partition you want to clone, making the whole process a lot simpler.

it does, or at least older versions of Android did

the doorbell is inside my house, the spring and pulleys too, he only bit exposed to the outside is a lever you pull to make the contraption move, it is kinda like the launcher on a pinball machine

I have a mechanical doorbell at my house that I adore. I’m never getting rid of it.
