Sometimes I work on a larger project that is split up in different sub projects, that were sold separately and are maybe paid by different departments. So I need to at least spilt those up.
Also it’s often easier to follow what exactly was done, when I differentiate more between my tasks and not just put a collective line there - just like small commits are more helpful than one large one.
But maybe I understood you wrong…?
Because you can’t easily borrow it your friend or bring it with you to a game night?
Not OP, but can only speak from my experience:
Installing a second WM/DE usually messes up my install, as quite some stuff is just from one GUI framework, so I don’t have to have to much stuff installed.
Also getting rid of it afterwards always wasn’t as easily possible.
I completely get trying out a WM y firing up a VM. You could even just boot the live USB stick to check it out.
But changing my working install just to try something (and then have to clean it up again) wasn’t working out for me in the past
Happens to everyone
Just having a multitude of terminals open with a mix of test environment and (just for comparison) an open connection to the production servers…
We were at a fair/exhibition once and on the first day people working on an actual customer project asked us, if they could compare with our code.
Obviously they flashed the wrong PLC and we were stuck dead at the first hours of the exhibition.
I still think that this place was cursed, as we also had to do multiple re-soldering of some connections of our robot and the sherry on top was the system flash dying - where I had fucked up, because I just finished everything late at night and didn’t made a complete backup of everything.
But it seems, if luck runs out, you lose on all fronts.
At least I was able to restore everything in 20mins. Which must be some kind of record.
But I was shaking so much from the stress, that I couldn’t efficiently type anymore and was lucky to have a colleague to just calmly enter what I told him to and with that we’re able to get the show case up and running again.
Well, at least the beer afterwards tasted like the liquid of the gods
Never touch a running system
Until you have a inviting hole in your system
Nevertheless, I’m panicking every time I update my sever infrastructure…
Signal doesn’t provide such open and easily found chat rooms.
It’s really much more a messenger (with group chats, but those you have to manually set up)
So it’s not an “open” place like telegram and with that not as attractive for advertising illicit services or products.
besides that, Signal is the technically much more secure variant. No discussion about it.
Thank you very much for those insights!!
Would you give your perspective anyway, as I would be quite interested, although I’m not the one you talked to?
I think, I worded it wrong
Testing exactly for the results you expect is a good start to verify functionality, but you also need tests, that can bring up whatever, so you get a better view of the risk profile
But I’m not a pharmacist, so I’m just taking out of my ass anyway
Yeah, if I test my software all is good as well. As soon as the customer does something, he finds bugs, because I didn’t thought about that situation.
As the drug user in the end isn’t qualified enough, they should exactly test like that and not just what they think is right
But maybe my analogy isn’t completely working in that case…
I first thought I read a comic about LSD
Really 80 times?
I had 4 times in memory
Quite some time that I’ve seen something so stupid
It’s even absolutely not true, that Linux is last. They just don’t know about the less used OS’ on desktop
What a braindead take…
Yeah, you’re not alone
Desperately tried to make sense of it…
Some industry hardware stuff sadly …
Datalogic DL.Code, Siemens TIA, etc.
If someone has a solution I’m all up for it.
Was some time ago, that I tried with wine, so maybe something has changed
I had a really hard time even finding a new car that isn’t classified as a SUV
This trend fucking sucks, but it seems that there are currently not many options on the market besides oversized und bulky SUVs
Well, the Laptop is still not released. Not sure what I can say more about it :-\
Anyone have some experience with StarLabs?
Ordered a StarFighter like more than half a year ago and am losing confidence in the company…
So… What’s the purpose of the ban then?
Is this but just totally stupid and implemented completely useless, because people in power can’t grasp what they are deciding on?
Yeah, put Oracle on that list
