This happens. Recently we had a problem in production where our database grew by a factor of 10 in just a few minutes due to a replication glitch. Of course it took down the whole application as we ran out of space.

Some things just happen and all head room and monitoring cannot save you if things go seriously wrong. You cannot prepare for everything in life and IT I guess. It is part of the job.

I didn't know it is a book. I liked the movie though.

I should probably add it to my list then!

Because the sun is also a depleting source of energy. I question the definition of renewable that's all.

I would have never considered nuclear energy being renewable, but I guess a similar argument could be made.

It's an interesting take. I guess the sun is not renewable either.

Is any practically infinite (in human scales) source of energy called renewable? I am hearing this for the first time.

How is nuclear renewable?

Yea, unless used degoratory I don't think it is a big deal either. It is probably a cultural thing and I respect it.

Thinking more about it it would also be weird to call a woman female in my native tongue and could also only be used in a degoratory manner. We also have some older words which would be even worse.

No, I think I get it after putting some more thought into it.

I mean transfem and transmasc are common terms in trans communities. I assume it has nothing to do with trans people but a human female is called a woman hence calling women female is frowned upon. You call a female animal a female, but not a human usually.

There is some nuance in there I probably don't fully understand either as a non native speaker.

If you are new and need help you can ask in the newbie corner. Most people are really helpful there even with the most trivial problem. Well you can also use it if you are more experienced, it is a nice place to get help and participate.

In other forums you are expected to have done some research first though, e.g. checked the wiki and maybe the bug tracker first and provide your relevant logs. That's what might get you in this comics situation though.

I am in hospital and bored out of my mind. I keep scrolling and scrolling and...

Unfortunately they are very in your face unless you fully submit to their view. They belittle your efforts if it is anything but outright revolution, cheer on horrible regimes and deny genocides. Very US centric point of view.

Of course it is not all of them, but that's what you will experience very soon if you interact with them, because it is a radicalized echo chamber let loose.

Our instance actually managed to get defederated from them though. Although it wasn't handled well from either side they seriously only dish out, but can't take a hit. I won't say that nothing of value was lost, because there were a few moderate users and of course some interesting content might be lost, but overall my lemmy experience got better without them.

Actually I did below! You are absolutely correct.

This is amazing. It's a great idea.

Useless, but fun.

I would put shell scripting basics higher up on the list as part of the introduction to cli, because that's one of the major benefits over using a gui.

Otherwise it looks really good, maybe sprinkle some vi(m) in there, because it is the defacto default editor outside of Ubuntu and few others.

Also maybe focus more on iptools2 over the legacy commands like ifconfig, netstat etc as they are not available everywhere anymore (use ip or ss instead). It is still very useful to know both though.

Finally you should pay close attention to anti patterns like "sudo su", "ps aux | grep ...", "cat ... | grep ..." etc and make sure to teach proper usage of the tools. I have seen it way too often done wrong in beginner guides.

Which actually breaks the code if you don't have sw configured to the same width as used by the code.

If anything that proves my point.

Just copy some code over into a not properly configured vim.

People seem to forget that not everything is a fully configured development environment working locally on your laptop which attempts to fix the issues introduced by that design decision.

Absolutely yes. JSON and SCSS > YML and SASS

You can work around most issues in any language with the right tools. That's not the point.

If a design decision introduced a whole new class of errors it is probably just bad design.

Python is stupid. Using non printable characters as anything other than token separation is just asking for trouble.

The first time I had some salsa in a restaurant I was asking if they accidentally poured dish soap into it. It was inedible for me.

I only learned later that it was cilantro and that it is genetic.

I am still feeling sorry for the remark, but it was all I could taste and didn't know any better.
