  • Republicans worry Trump is having a ‘public nervous breakdown’

    Jump

  • I think this is something that is hard to overstate. Back in 2016, I went out to northern Pennsylvania to see a friend out there, and the amount of Trump shit I saw blew my blue state mind. Then I did another trip down to North Carolina and saw so much.

    In 2020, I went out to both of those places again and there was a bunch of 2016 stuff out there, but not as much new stuff.

    I haven’t been up to see my friend in a few years now, but driving through parts of North Carolina I don’t see anything, new or old. I think the rank and file are getting sick of him.

    And on top of that, I think Democrats are genuinely excited about Harris Walz. Everyone I know in my blue state went from quiet resignation in voting for Biden to energized. Obviously it only matters if you actually vote, but hopefully everyone feels like they have a good reason this time to vote for someone instead of just against someone. It’s not enough to just win the presidency, we need to run up the numbers and take congress.

  • Vice presidents are by no means “next in line” for the nomination. It just happened to work that way this time, but it wouldn’t be weird if Walz was never the nominee.

  • I just learned about The Work Number, what are other methods of employee, medical, or financial data collection can I opt out of?

  • That’s a good way to think about it, actually. Thanks for sharing

  • It does make establishing a critical mass of comments to make a good discussion difficult. I’ve had it once or twice where I discovered a post in one community commented and didn’t get any replies, only to discover some other discussion on the same content happened elsewhere on the fediverse that I wasn’t subscribed to.

  • Google to purge low-quality apps from the Play Store with new policy starting next month

    Jump

  • That would be great. Just a bit that sends an email from a different innocuous sounding Gmail every month with a generic problem like “app crashes on

    ” to see if there is a response. If you miss 3 in a row, you’re out

  • Helldivers 2’s biggest update yet, Escalation of Freedom, drops August 6

  • Could you imagine dropping in on bug or automaton missions and there just being new aliens with new weapons showing up?

    Jump

  • Why would they announce that like this though? I’m holding out hope that this push includes any core code updates needed for the Illuminate but not directly pointing at them, so they can get that tested and ready. Then when they decide the time is right, push an unexpected update with the new textures.

  • systemd Talks Up Automatic Boot Assessment In Light Of The Crowdstrike-Microsoft Outage

    Jump

  • Because documentation was so great for sysv and everything else back in the day…

  • How to stagger automated upgrade?

    Jump

  • To actually answer your question, you need some kind of job scheduling service that manages the whole operation. Whether that’s SSM or Ansible or something else. With Ansible, you can set a parallel parameter that will say that you only update 3 or so at a time until they are all done. If one of those upgrades fails, then it will abort the process. There’s a parameter to make it die if any host fails, but I don’t recall it right now.

  • Does anyone here NOT hate Google?

  • Why is Intel failing to Nvidia and AMD?

    Jump

  • There used to be a saying that Intel had a vault where they paid out the next ten years of CPU tech, so when they invented something new they put it there so they could make profits and control the advancement.

    Now, I’m not sure which thing they got wrong, but if it was true, I think Intel was probably caught off guard by all the speculative execution security issues and the GPU revolution (blockchain and AI).

  • It’s weird how defensive people get over their cannonball road trips. It’s great to take a few minutes on a break while taking a long trip.

  • University Students

    Jump

  • If I see comments explaining every other line, especially describing “what” instead of “why”, I assume the code was written by a recent grad and is going to be bad. Describing what you are doing looks like you are doing a homework assignment.

    Like on that line, obviously we’re initializing a variable, but why 1 instead of 0? Could be relevant to a loop somewhere else, but I guess I’ll have to figure that out by reading the code anyways.

  • is coursera certification worthy?

  • What tech field though? Software? Cloud? AI/ML? Security?

  • is coursera certification worthy?

    Jump

  • In all those scenarios though, the cert in question would be listed as something else. It’s not that I’m against Coursera or think it’s a bad platform.

    There are a lot of certs out there and most of them are worthless, and a lot of them happen to be on Coursera, I guess. I’ve talked to people who had AWS certs and couldn’t explain the difference between S3 and EBS. Certs just don’t mean much.
