The 6000 unit tests they run on every build is the most effective bug squasher!

Laughs in Factorio

Factorio Space Age, but it wasn’t on sale.

Do you know how expensive a criminal conviction is?

Dehydrate and turn into a powder. That 2-3kg will make like 200g of powder that adds a big umami hit to anything it is added to.

I’m also considering getting a full electric car, but have a little range anxiety mixed with a general feeling that the improvements over the next couple years will make current electric cars obsolete, so I am following along with this thread!

Cinnamon twists!

Crunchy, sweet, pleasantly dry!

Rant incoming:

“Fast casual” has ruined dinning. The concept is a volume play of moving as many customers as quick as possible while still giving “personalized service” with the least number of servers possible. Naturally this becomes a race to the bottom with “service” taking the biggest hit since it is the most subjective experience and thus the hardest to measure. The worst part is that most American diners we are slowly lowering expectations in which allows for further reductions in service and makes the experience even worse, but “with prices like these, what can you expect?”

I don’t know as though that is a law, but with the new Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, it is a valid possibility. If “murdering your political rivals” is on the table, then “sentencing a terrorist to death” is probably covered.

You hit them with a sword and they will tell you the time.

Thanks for responding in good faith!

I agree that while CS did screw up in pushing out a bad update, only having a single vendor for a critical process that can take the whole business down is equally a screw up. Ideally companies should have had CS installed on half the systems and a secondary malware prevention system on every DR and “redundant” system. Having all of a company’s eggs in a single basket is very bad.

All the above being said; to properly implement a fully redundant, to the vendor level, system would require either double the support team, or a massive development effort to tie the management of the systems together. Either way, that is going to be very expensive. The point being: Reducing the budget of IT departments will further cause the consolidation of vendors and increase the number of vendor caused complete outage events.

It feels like you have an agenda that you are trying to apply to the CrowdStrike event and just so happen to slandering IT as an innocent bystander to the agenda you are putting forward.

If you had to summarize the goal of your initial post in less then 10 words, what would it be?

Maybe they should offer a real time patcher for the security vulnerabilities in the OOB KVM, I know a great vulnerability database offered by a company that does this for a lot of systems world wide! /s

bloated IT budgets

Can you point me to one of these companies?

In general IT is run as a “cost center” which means they have to scratch and save everywhere they can. Every IT department I have seen is under staffed and spread too thin. Also, since it is viewed as a cost, getting all teams to sit down and make DR plans (since these involve the entire company, not just IT) is near impossible since “we may spend a lot of time and money on a plan we never need”.

Always has been.

The craziest part is that the facility believed to be the source of the jamming is estimated at only $6.7m to make.
