Has there ever been a more elegant “fuck around and find out”?

My experience has been the more I assume I am an idiot and plan accordingly, the less true it is in practice.

Perl is fine so long as you write code based on the assumption it will be maintained an idiot that doesn’t know the code at all and needs hand holding. And that is why 6 months later I can understand the code I wrote.

I see no problem with using an extra precise spoon.

I think the key misunderstanding is in the word “just”. It implies that being relaxed is a state that will happen on its own if you allow it. But in reality for us “to relax” is an action we need to do deliberately.

I would be inclined to think that if you are just renting a machine or VM and all the configuration/maintenance is your problem it would be close enough. But I am not a mod and don’t want to be.

My understanding is that Scrum is a tool box. You figure out what tools fit for your team. The problem arises when people are in charge that don’t understand the what the team is doing or the toolset provided by Scrum. They then try to use every tool and it goes poorly.

If I read it correctly, he used a LLM to help him write Python for a hobby project. I think this falls into an open minded, “who cares?”. Come back when he used it for something intended for public or commercial use.

My friend just upgraded from a GTX 1070 to an ARC B580. His motherboard was pretty old so getting bios updated with resizeable bar was some work. He also chose reinstall with Ubuntu because it was the version of Linux that was listed as officially supported. After that he has been happy with the performance increase he has gotten.

I have a Pfsense router and run HAproxy on it. Most of the services I have run on 3 VMs in a Docker Swarm. HAproxy can point to all three and just uses the first to respond. I think this is what you are going for. I haven’t tested how robust this solution is because my primary motivation was wanting to play with Docker Swarm once I accepted K8s was not worth the effort.
