There was something like

# sleep for about a second on modern processors
math.factorial(10000)

After it was found we left it in the code but commented out along with a sleep(1) for posterity.

Probably a line about how they’re not liable if you record in a place where recording isn’t allowed.

Yeah I hate when I read through a unit test and realize it doesn’t actually test anything other than itself.

Well if you forget them, you wouldn’t remember them to forget them.

Though seriously, I find interviews, photos, videos even of people telling stories helps. It’s the same idea that documentaries use to tell stories.

I’ve thought about this wrt to AI and work. Every time I sit in a post mortem it’s about human errors and process fixes.

The day a post mortem ends with “well the AI did it so nothing we can do” is the day I look towards… with dread.

You don’t know what you got till it’s gone…

My cat’s thought process. I can tell when she’s getting annoyed or when she wants to randomly barf. It’s like a spidey sense.

I don’t think so. They’re usually in the sun for at least the first hour.

I guess this is possible, though we live in a pretty safe, gated community in a low-crime city.

If you buy every single combination of numbers for the lotto, you can’t lose.

Special shout out to the person who committed a gigabyte memory dump a few years ago. Even with a shallow clone, it’s pretty darn slow now.

We can’t rewrite history to remove it since other things rely on the commit IDs not changing.

Oh well.

My cat.

In a similar vein if you apply to a job, do you prefer being ghosted or a rejection email?

As a serious question: would you rather no email when no updates or an email saying no updates?

I guess I’d rather the email to not wonder if something got lost or some other issue.

Now the multiple in one day: I can’t really defend. That seems nutty. Maybe they should let you choose how often to get the given update.

What if it’s a network mount inside the container? Doesn’t the mount not happen till the container starts?

I have a couple pis that run docker containers including pihole. The containers have their storage on a centralized share drive.

I had a power outage and realized they can’t start if they happen to come up before the share drive PC is back up.

How do people normally do their docker binds? Optimally I guess they would be local but sync/backup to the share drive regularly.

Sort of related question: in docker compose I have restart always and yet if a container exits successfully or seemingly early in it’s process (like pihole) it doesn’t restart. Is there an easy way to still have them restart?

I have double vision (diplopia).

It’s kind of a super power when I think about it… but not really.

I look at it a bit but then throw it out at the same time since I’ve heard that they’ll invalidate the warranty for water damage even if the IP rating says it should have handled it.

Maybe? Not sure. I’m in the USA and we have em.
