Lemmy is starting to have a huge problem with people creating multiple sockpuppets–probably programmatically generating them, in fact–just to win internet arguments. If this goes on too long you’re going to see a really surprising number of sudden downvotes on everything you’ve said in this conversation, and anyone who agreed with you.
Terraform and OpenTofu are great tools for building virtual infrastructure, e.g. using AWS API calls to spin up AWS virtual machines and provision them with networks and security relationships and stuff like that–in an automated, repeatable way. They are generalized tools for deploying and modifying infrastructure, even if it’s not in the cloud (there are many tools in these frameworks that apply to self-hosted setups).
The rest of the words after “Terraform fork” are just the names of companies that decided to help OpenTofu, and are not especially helpful in understanding what it is or what it’s used for.
In almost 30 years I’ve never seen anyone actually switch databases underneath an existing product. I have worked at one place where generic database APIs were required because it was a product that supportedf multiple databases, but no individual customer was really expected to switch from one database to another, that’s just how the product was written.
I have heard of this happening, but it’s the kind of thing that happens in one of two scenarios:
Very early in a product’s lifetime the developer (probably a startup) realizes the database they chose was a poor choice. Since the product doesn’t even exist yet, the switching cost is low, and generic database use wouldn’t have helped.
A management shakeup in a very mature product causes the team to switch databases. This is, as you observed, usually part of a major rewrite of some kind, so lots of things are going to change at once. Also–critically–this only happens with companies that have more money than sense. Management doesn’t mind if it takes a long time to switch.
It won’t go smoothly, at all, but nobody actually cares, so generic database use wouldn’t have helped.
Well written, I enjoyed this.
Screenwriters: “We’ll give him some business with his hands, you know, something an engineer would be extremely good at”
I’m at the end of season 6 (of 7), after as many months because I don’t binge very well :-) LD inspired me to do it. When I got to the exocomps I shouted PEANUT HAMPER out loud
“What would the reaction be?” It would be different. It would be far more negative. Do you know why it would be more negative? Because women in tech do not hold power in tech. They do not hold power in the world. A misogynistic name for that category of people would be punching down.
By contrast, “techbro” is acceptable because we know who’s in power right now, and it’s punching up.
HTH
I like this theory, it feels like one of the authentic ways that slurs in earth languages actually get invented.
One thing I’ve always wondered, and this is hardly the most unbelievable aspect of the science fiction elements of this show but it’s one of the most pervasive and constant; why don’t we ever hear the native languages of the aliens underneath the sounds of the universal translators? Most, although not all, of them speak by vibrating the air, so where are those sounds disappearing to?
Lol at this meme being at the absolute bottom of the page above a “next” button. They stuck
Fry makes no sense as Corbin Dallas, he has completely the wrong energy for that character. The character with the closest energy to Corbin Dallas would be Scruffy, but obviously we can’t make Scruffy the main character, so maybe it’s Bender instead.
bites lower lip and fffffff’s
OK check out the aliens in Manhunt (S2E19) and then tell me he’s wrong
Oh my god, yes, bring on the Heavy Metal memes
It does also require a knowledge of the acting credits of Leela’s voice actress, though.
You’ve literally heard almost all of it. She mentions there being drugs, and there’s a couple places where she talks about having to escape the rape gangs. I think maybe one brief flashback in a dark cave. AFAIR there was no explanation. I think it was meant to explain why she’s a “badass”, but everyone in Star Trek is a badass and they didn’t need rape gangs to explain it.
Since it’s the mirror universe it should say Ketracel White: At least once

TBH I’m curious what the difference between this and “hallucinating” would be.
