A great innovation over simple AB testing

There are still 32 bit x86 PCs sold today for embedded applications, I'm pretty sure.

yep aren't most fridges and ovens etc using 386DXs?

Maybe it's all ARM Cortex now? I thought the 386 was still in production.


A minor using python3 isn't allowed to import flask

I know what I always need in my production database is a yolo tool

If you can open an elevated connection to your production db from your terminal, you're already toast

It's not an outage if the service no longer exists!

Maybe Ellison can use his MiG to retaliate.

I guess Trump was not content with just destroying the CDC


NASA is deep in Microsoft's stack. Meetings with NASA are the only time I have to use Teams

car seats are one of the reasons I'm glad I don't have a car... don't need a car seat on the bus or train!

or you don't use a package manager where anyone can just publish a package (i.e. use your system package manager). There is still some risk, but it is much smaller. Like, if xz were distributed by PyPI or NPM, everyone would have been pwned, but instead it was (barely) found.

It's true that system repos doesn't include everything, but you can create your own repositories if you really need to for a few things. In practice Fedora/EPEL are basically sufficient for my needs. Right now I'm deploying something with yocto, which is a bit more limited in slection, but it's pretty easy to add my own packages and it at least has hashes so things don't get replaced without me noticing (to be fair, I don't know if the security practices of open-embedded recipes are as strong as Fedora...).


it's muddying what a package is. A package, or a distro, is the people who slave and labor over packaging, reviewing, deciding on versions to ship, having policies in place, security mailing lists, release schedules, etc.

just shipping from npm crap is essentially the equivelant of running your production code base against Arch AUR pkgbuilds.
