On: The curse of knowing how, or; fixing everything

[6LLvveMx2koXfwn]

And even if it is correct output from said overhyped tool it still detracts from the enjoyment of building/fixing stuff. I used to love going over the code I wrote to fix a specific issue, now not so much as half of it was written by AI so half of the satisfaction has gone too.

This also explains why the best engineers are also the best at admitting what they don't know. Which is something we have worked into our interviews - amazing how easy it is to spot a poor engineer by asking what their latest failure was.

That's three though.

[recursive → 6LLvveMx2koXfwn]

That's the neat part.

[emmelaich → recursive]

Depends what you mean by the name "three"

[6LLvveMx2koXfwn → emmelaich]

or "neat"

[fetzu → 6LLvveMx2koXfwn]

Not if you start counting at zero!

[TZubiri → fetzu]

0,1,2,3

That's 5

"Five is right out"

Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.

Whoosh

This has to be the most hilarious comment I've ever seen on HN.

Well, actually...

man, I couldn't think of anything worse - except maybe dynamic types

On: Any program can be a GitHub Actions shell

[6LLvveMx2koXfwn]

My take was that it is not useful, definitely, categorically not useful. It is a potential security hazard though. Especially for 'exploring' self-hosted runners.

We deploy on K8s in OpenStack from a scheduled GitHub Actions pipeline which aggregates DAGs into a new container build based on hashes of hashes. This works well with almost no intervention.

WRT your 1, above any DAG output to stdout/err is available via the logs tab from the graph view of the individual tasks. Almost all our DAGs leverage on the PythonOperator though, not sure if that standardises this for us and your experience is muddied by more complexity than we currently have?

WRT 2. we generate an uber requirements.txt running pyreqs from the pipeline and install everything in the container automatically. Again no issues currently - although we do need to manually add the installation of test libraries to the pipeline job as for some reason auto-discovery is flakier for unit-tests frameworks.

NoScript resolved this issue for me.

It's important to note that Cunk, whilst highly informative in many domains, is essentially winging it when it comes to Shakespeare.

genius:

  I'm going down to Cowtown, cow's a friend to me
  Lives beneath the ocean so that's where I will be
  Beneath the waves, the waves, that's where I will be
  I'm gonna see the cow beneath the Sea

From I Palindrome I, few albums later on Apollo 18:

Son, I am able, she said, though you scare me. Watch, said I. Beloved, I said, watch me scare you though. Said she, able am I, son.

Brilliant.

I don't really get the meaning. Would love an explanation.

[Doxin → theonething]

I feel like most TMBG songs don't really have a meaning as such. Sure is a fun sequence of words to sing though!

We used the technique until we ran out of mountains, hence current lack of mountains.
