Fun story close to a decade ago we were attempting to upgrade our batch scheduler called Tidal to version 6x which had a RESTful API.

One of the reasons we dropped the product was because we were getting 200 status codes meanwhile the output was a java dump of an error message.

They were adamant that this was an us problem, no matter how much I tried to explain to them with numerous links explaining to them that if something has a 200 status code that should mean things worked.

They argued that the 200 meant we were hitting the API fine. We would have to write code to read the return for if it was a error or not. I still don’t think they understood how stupid they were, even all these years later.

This meme really irritates me hahahaha

This is better

If I’m building a server I’ll do headless CentOS because it’s lockstep with RHEL. I’ve been working with Linux over 20 years. I know my way around and then some.

If I’m rolling a new laptop or desktop I’m doing Ubuntu for the reasons you’ve mentioned.

I’ve been working with Linux for the better part of 20 years at this point. Ubuntu is perfectly fine my time is too valuable to spend numerous hours fucking around getting shit to work properly. If that makes me an idiot then I’m happily an idiot.

I get that many people have issues with snap, SystemD or whatever else they want to throw out. I don’t give a shit. You’re whinging into the wind over nothing burgers.

This is what frustrates me because in theory yes, you’re right. But in reality those shareholders are not who you think they are. Many of them are your relatives through 401k and RRSP managed funds.

What I’m getting at is it would be great to Luigi a bunch of billionaires but the reality is the problem is systemic and no amount of murder is going to solve that.

We go back to the Levellers and the Diggers. My gut tells me we are going to everyone screaming for change ultimately get what they want which is someone will be beheaded but then in the aftermath you all have no fucking plan and guess what? In a few years we are going to be right back here again.

I hope I’m wrong, but history has a way of repeating the same beats over and over again.

RTJ4 coming out right when the pandemic and George Floyd being murdered was magical. That album is straight gas. Saying this as a 48 year old white dude.

I’m curious what it will look like when school starts

A fellow contrarian I see. I actually hate when it agrees with me so I look for holes.

Every number is random.

One of the many random numbers that live rent free in my head lol

The Almighty dollar always wins doesn’t it Neil lol

This reminds me when a mouse was an option not a requirement

Human nature dictates we do things before we discuss if we should do things.

To me it starts getting into a philosophical discussion but unfortunately I don’t think as a species we are mature enough yet to have these discussions.

A good real world example of this is in Canada the separation movement by Quebec vs. Alberta. In Quebec there have been years of open public discussion before they ultimately took a vote. They were painfully away of all the nuance that came from leaving Canada. They did it right to a large extent. Compare that to Daniella Smith in Alberta and she’s hammering through the mechanisms for a vote to happen meanwhile the public has absolutely no understanding of the ramifications of if they do vote to leave Canada. They’re doing it wrong.

Human nature by default seems to want to change the front tyre while doing 120 on the highway. This needs to change.

Is the article about Google or Apple? Really easy question for you.

I don’t use apple for the same reason I don’t use fisher price as an adult. You are free to use your technology made for babies that’s beside the point. The point is that the article in discussion is about Tim Cook and Apple providing a recent bribe to Trump.

Your comment is providing no value. You are attempting whataboutism and really shows the type of person you are more than anything.

To be clear, if googl was caught bribing and someone said “buh buh buh Apple!” Id be saying the same thing. Stop sucking dick like they owe you something to take a side.

When Google bribes Trump with a 24k gold gift let’s discuss Google then ok?

Removed by mod

You’re right it’s both now can we fuck off with the “buh buh buh the other company!” bullshit?

Article is about Apple not Google.

I’m a sex vegetarian gotta be a bit open

True but in parts of the world completely isolated from others? India in comparison to South America as an example.
