I like to think this whole thing will collapse and there'll be a massive demand for real programmers to clean up/rewrite all the AI slop.

But your thing seems more likely.

I meant running windows on them, its enormous and its all linux servers. I know you can run windows but it'll be a tiny fraction.

This is my thought, they've all but lost the battle for cloud servers and they'd rather the developers computers were Windows. WSL allows that.

I ordered something from ebay recently and it came from amazon. I think the seller just ordered from amazon for me 😒

10% of petrol is ethanol now. That's what the E10 means, so I'd say it's pretty massive

This is the same in UK. There are people who believe that illegal immigration is the reason rents are high and jobs are hard to get and also they're all on benefits. It's illegal to rent to or employ an illegal immigrant and I'm not sure how they are supposed to apply for benefits as an illegal immigrant but the narrative persists. Legal immigrants here have zero access to any benefits at all.

But, obviously it is all their fault and not those illegally employing and housing them.

How long until someone asks an LLM how to customize the property names of JSON and it tells them to use github copilot to that 😂

We also maxed out the limit twice. 10k for us. Went 2k over the first time. Second time is this year so hoping he doesn't need anything expensive before June. He's has 2 total hip replacements at £8500 each.

Takes longer to get in and out the airport. I bet there's not much in it overall

I did this once, it was legitimate but he refused to tell me even what department he called from. I said i wasn't going to give personal into to an incoming call and i wasn't calling back unless i knew why. He ended up mailing me a letter instead.

I almost got scammed a few years ago by being called about fraudulent activity the day after i reported fraudulent activities, in hindsight I think they just got lucky with timing, but I take no chances now.

Ever noticed how decades ago if someone defeated a bank's security we called it bank robbery, but now it's called identity theft and we get blamed for it.

It's taken me a while to learn how to use it and where it works best but I'm coming around to where it fits.

Just today i was doing a new project, i wrote a couple lines about what i needed and asked for a database schema. It looked about 80% right. Then asked for all the models for the ORM i wanted and it did that. Probably saved an hour of tedious typing.

The town i used to live in, population 180,000, has a big park right outside the centre. It's got a lake, open grass, a small wood. It's a very nice park. Always busy.

The west edge is bordered by a 7ft wire fence and beyond it is a golf course 2.5x larger than the park. At a glance it looks very similar except this land is reserved for the exclusive use of ~500 members.

 

We're using Terraform to manage our AWS infrastructure and the state itself is also in AWS. We've got 2 separate accounts for test and prod and each has an S3 bucket with the state files for those accounts.

We're not setting up alternate regions for disaster recovery and it's got me wondering if the region the terraform S3 bucket is in goes down then we won't be able to deploy anything with terraform.

So what's the best practice for this? Should we have a bucket in every region with the state files for the projects in that region but then that doesn't work for multi-region deployments.
