  Makes sense I didn’t get the job, I only vaguely know the difference and it was mostly theoretical stuff like CI/CD, but those recruiters really wanted to throw me at random interviews to see if I’d stick :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My struggle from a UNIX background in the modern "cloud" world⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What makes DevOps so different from sysadmin? Recruiters always told me it’s the same, but I never got the job, so idk.

  yes, but it’s a body that has existed for more than 300 years, there must be some way to get an impression on it through the times :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Opaque think tanks and landlords dominate Tory conference⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to have an idea of the history of MP pay in terms of the average salary to understand if this is a new thing, if they have always had side businesses and claimed “favours” later or if there is an actual decline in the status of “civic duty”.

  You can’t just analyse the data too, you have to write a kickass paper, design an appealing poster and present it like it’s the best thing ever :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have attempted science.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish somebody had told me beforehand that a degree of enthusiastic acting was necessary to turn your miserable results into a success, though.

  Keep it in your hard drive and carry it with you. Better than a Blockchain.

  I can’t see why, we also had the three shells system screenrant.com/three-seashells-demolition-man-fun… :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried a dry system with sand, sawdust and straw + washing in bidet but none of the other users was a fan :(

  And that was only because they had to beat the nazis and afterwards prove that capitalism wasn’t worse for common folk than communism. Now that there is no bogeyman, we’re left with TINA, so they can go back to screwing everyone over.

  Stupid question: why doesn’t Google release the codebases of killed projects on some OS license so that people who want to keep using and maintaining them have a chance to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  True…otherwise it’s reverse hydro, which could be done with surplus renewables at peak times, but not at more than 10km… This is mostly aimed at coastal communities (and sustainable floating villages 😁)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think desalination is the solution.

  Solution to what?

  Literally all rainwater comes from solar-powered desalination. There is nothing better than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If this works, it’s better than anything we have , which costs grid energy and dumps brine all the same. If anything, the smaller scale makes it easier to distribute the brine dumping.

  Some people even get sick just from the wrong FoV and motion speed combination in 3D games, this is just 10 times worse.

  So what happened to the whole “every part is tracked from production to installation and through maintenance checks?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🦋🦋🦋⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Has metamorphosis physiology been studied in detail with CT scans, electrodes? It sounds like one of those weird things that could really impact biology if understood in depth for things like regeneration…but maybe it’s too far to be useful to humans :/

  Uh, how is it better than a security camera? Can it dispense pepper spray and chase dudes up stairs?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI developing too fast for regulators to keep up, says Oliver Dowden⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But are they all dinossaur paper-based lawyers or just very focused on specific issues so they miss the bigger picture or are they actually advised by expert panels but meetings take too long…or nobody cares…or everyone is compromised by other interests…what?
