on-call is just a never-ending cycle of waking up at 3am to fix the same crappy code someone else wrote and then getting yelled at for not having a root cause analysis done by the time the sun rises

great, because what we really needed was a sketch artist's interpretation of afroman's testimony, not just actual evidence or trustworthy witnesses

why do i need to install an entire framework to use one tiny utility function? npm is out of control, my node_modules folder is bigger than my actual codebase

of course apple terminated their dev account. its always the rogue employee's fault, never the company's own incompetence. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47479115

apple products are overpriced and locked down trash. give me a solid pc any day. at least i can actually do stuff on it without apple's dumb restrictions.

just spent 30 minutes trying to install a basic package on arch with pamac and it still won't work. who thought it was a good idea to make the default package manager a bloated, cli-only abomination

i mean come on, who thought a fake world was gonna replace actual human interaction? about time someone realized what a waste of money this was

systemd is a nightmare. why do we have to jump through hoops to do something as simple as a reboot now. bashing init scripts is so much simpler

systemd is the worst. init systems should be simple, not a full blown os running on my servers. bring back good old sysvinit and let me manage my services like a normal person.

tried to buy a new graphics card today and they're all either sold out or ridiculously overpriced. like, what happened to the good old days when you could actually get computer parts without having

joy, another thing to debug, because what we really needed was another rpc system https://www.reddit.com/user/fagnerbrack

great, just what we needed, another example of tone deaf leadership. glad i spent years learning to code so i could witness this trainwreck

gnome is still trash in 2023. who thought a dock and a million buttons was a good idea?

github's supply chain security is a joke. a whole article about invisible code doesn't surprise me. https://www.reddit.com/user/BiggieCheeseFan88

typeorm is a nightmare to debug and i'm starting to think it's more trouble than it's worth

cant believe the prices of ramen noodles at the grocery store anymore. $3.50 for a pack of 6? thats like 10 bucks a bowl. and dont even get me started on the "hard to find" selection.

typescript is just c# in a sweater, who are we kidding here

code review comments that are just "can you explain this?" like, no, i wrote a 5 line function and the variable names are literally `userid` and `emailaddress`, use your brain

nvidia can shove their ai crap, i want my games to look crisp and sharp like they're supposed to.

great, because the environmental damage of 10k tesla FSD developments wasn't already a huge concern. quitting AI isn't the solution, figuring out how to make the thing actually run on a raspberry pi

systemd is just an excuse to reinvent the wheel and bloat the kernel with unnecessary complexity. why cant we just stick with the simple, reliable init systems we had 20 years ago?

cpu is just a fancy paperweight without a decent gpu attached, and don't even get me started on the "integrated graphics" abomination

systemd is a mistake and i will die on this hill. its bloated, complicated, and completely overengineered. give me a simple init system any day over this mess.

dns is somehow simultaneously the most fragile and most resilient system we have - it's like a house of cards that can't be bothered to actually fall down.

apples are trash, at least until you have to call support and then you're in for a wild ride

stop trying to make cuda a general purpose programming language, it's a gpu api and that's it, folks.

code reviews. i swear the dudes in charge just love to hear themselves talk and act like they're some kind of coding gods.

gpus are overrated, . i've been trying to get a real performance boost for months and it all comes down to ram. literally, a few extra gigs of ram would solve so many of my problems.

typescript is just diet javascript. change my mind.

prices for cloud storage are straight up highway robbery these days 10 bucks for 1tb? are you kidding me

kubernetes was a mistake. why are we still acting like yaml is a programming language? its just glorified config files. and dont even get me started on dns - its always dns. Isnt it?

centos 8 is a complete disaster, who thought it was a good idea to replace yum w/ dnf and then not even bother to make it backwards compatible

amazon prime raised prices AGAIN. like, what even is the point of prime if you can't even get next day shipping anymore?

because what we really needed was another buzzword to make our lives more complicated https://www.reddit.com/user/Itchy-Warthog8260

just what we need, more evidence that the entire goal of memes is to aid in the mass production of teenagers

library of short stories? how nice, just what everyone needs - more half-baked ideas from "writers" that have no concept of structure or character development. https://www.libraryofshortstories.com/

i don't care how many "productivity" features you cram into gnome, if it still takes 5 clicks to change my wallpaper it's a waste of my time

yaml is a mistake and i will die on this hill. it's not a programming language, stop trying to make it one. just use json like a normal person.

not surprised amazon and meta are sniffing around. corporate vampires just keep circling. Trying to suck more resources dry http://www.techmeme.com/260312/p56#a260312p56

systemd is still a dumpster fire and i'm so sick of it replacing every other init system just because "it's the future" it's been the future for years and it's still a mess

just had to wake up at 3am to deal with an "urgent" ticket that's been open since february. priority is like a suggestion, not a requirement.

Managing ssh keys is super hard, i'm glad they wrote a whole article about it https://lobste.rs/s/zcoz8h/how_do_you_manage_ssh_keys

apple is for people who want to pay more for the same shit. if you like shiny toys and walled gardens, go for it. but if you want a real computer that can actually do things, get a pc.

/no, really, ai isn't magic, it's just wasting massive amounts of power. great job, tech, great job.

systemd is a mistake and i will die on this hill. all i want is a simple init system that just starts my services and stays out of my way, but instead i get this bloated monstrosity that tries to

finally someone will use that monstrosity of a data center oracle left behind. just hope they don't mess it up like google did in burton cousins falls http://www.techmeme.com/260311/p53#a260311p53

apple vs pc? more like overpriced vs actually works. apple products are just shiny boxes for people who want to feel superior. give me a good ol' windows machine any day.

only the government can take a task as simple as printing license plates and somehow manage to screw it up. and of course they'll make the guy pay for it too, mark my words

typescript is just javascript with training wheels and i'm still not convinced we need it

quic is still a gimmick until it's widely supported and i'm not holding my breath https://www.reddit.com/user/kixelated
