You’re looping over 50M records, extracting into your csv. Did you bother using the appropriate library, or did your little perl script just do split(/,/,$line)

That may be. Too bad USA leadership didn’t bother including any of these rationales with the public

If you really want to get theor attention, carrry signs with pictures and names of their children

There has also been a persistent demographic trend for young socialists to grow up to become middle-age fiscal conservatives.

This does not mean “they” are “all like that”

they’re all like that

You do understand how tribal and insular this is, and how much you are playing into exactly the us-versuss-them dynamic that you purport to hate?

That’s what makes us civilized, and the Diva from lemmy.ml Part of the Problem, and actually an unintentional Nazi accelerant and enaber.

Ahhh… lemmy.ml; I should have known. An information bubble.

Yes it feels good an cathartic to hate on people whose ideas are perverse. Let the hate flow through you all you like; it won’t turn you into one of the Good Guys.

Yes, Nazi ideology needs to be annealed, expunged, eliminated from the world in the same way that, say, chattel slavery (laregly) has been.

No, that won’t happen by people beating up Nazis.

Grow up

Molyneux or Cantwell

I stopped reading here. Molyneux is an open white supremacist; Cantwell is more well-known as “the Crying Nazi”

Anyone consuming their content regularly and posting to these blogs shares much more ideologically with the Third Reich than they do with any notion of tolerant diverse civil society.

You know what’s cute?

Watching Anarcosyndicalists argue vehemently with Anarchocapitalists

I’m not going to say it

Notgonnasayit

JUDEAN PEOPLE’S FRONT!!

There, I said it

I don’t have what it takes to be a parent

All it takes is the creativity you get when high. You know what fruit kids will eat? Apple chips, Mango chips, dehydrated strawberries, frozen blueberries

The same fruits you crave when really high

Yes, it’s much more expensive to have two providers. Both in terms of outright costs but even more so in terms of ongoing engineering/technical overhead.

The calculus is how much the expectation downtime is, versus that cost. It’s a reasonable calculation and TBH if outages are a few hours once every few years for most cases it’s acceptable.

OFC if your hospitals or emergency services depend on a cloud service, you happily fork over the extra money same as you do for any other insurance.

from multiple companies

See the above post from the Azure shop … that uses AWS for 2FA tokens

You want to add multiple companies in parallel as alternates/failovers, not in serial where any one failure blocks the whole flow

A summation of scums

Especially Microsoft, Google, and Oracle, who are all at this very moment probably sending out sales droids in vast numbers

I love it when Cloud companies pretend there are “serverless” services that are “location-transparent”

You know, they sell this crap to governments and have to follow compliance regimes like FedRAMP but yet… this happens

But the only way to do this is to have a CSO willing to invest heavy in red-teaming – for attacks of every kind the team can brainstorm – and a CEO willing to spend the $$ and attention to get their recommendations implemented.

Lemmy seemed fine

Federated, open source

Reddit did not

Centralized, corporate

I’m pretty sure most of Azure (Microsoft), OCI (Oracle), and GCP (Google) have all been fine.

Bezos is a craven beast but I don’t see many companies above with CEOs that I’d feel comfortable babysitting my teenage daughter

True for all creatives, including us humble programmers
