I’ve often had the impression that universities are the best places to cut your teeth in IT. Even though the pay isn’t great, the environments are said to be some of the most complex you’ll encounter. Any credence to that?

Could a solution to this be any of the following:

  • Windows performing automatic driver rollback in the event of it reaching an unbootable state
  • Software vendors pushing out updates to a smaller pool of endpoints and monitor for heartbeat for 30 mins or so before releasing for all endpoints
  • A way for windows to expose the relevant data to trusted software without the software needing to operate in kernel space

Yeah I find that the pellets dry everything out after about an hour. You just gotta be on top of emptying the sawdust as it piles up and things stay pretty odour free

The quicker the poo dries out, the quicker it stops smelling. This is one of the benefits of crystals, but I prefer wood pellets for the same reason.

I often use fields, so I have to go back to desktop Word eventually to add them in. 🥲

Users only use a fraction of the feature set but everyone uses a different fraction 😂

How good are VMs at booting a physical partition?

I think it depends. If it’s a quick thing that requires no clarification, email or text all the way. But if you need to tease out fine details, a phone call is much faster and easier.

SOLVED: it’s Antitrust! Thanks everyone!

It’s a tech related movie came out probably early 2000s.

Bits I remember:

  • A group of home brew coders watches a webinar of some large software company.
  • One of them gets hired by the company to work on a large project
  • The project is supposed to enable content delivery/streaming while overcoming bandwidth constraints, but they’re stuck in development
  • Main character is working on the project and is making headway but discovers something nefarious might be going on in the company
  • He checks around the place and realises a large mouse sculpture in the company campus playground is actually a hidden satellite
  • Using a computer in the children’s daycare room he uncovers the conspiracy
  • He manages to finish off the project, and the company thinks everything is fine
  • The tech company tests the system and it works perfectly broadcasting everywhere.
  • But the guy uses this test to present a montage of all the evidence of the conspiracy. Also uploads the project source code
  • Company CEO gets arrested or something, everyone lives happily ever after.

Keen to hear people’s thoughts. Personally I think the SRL will change how Melbourne works in ways current modelling won’t consider. That comes at a high cost, but is it too high?

 
 

Part of me is inclined to say might as well keep going with the games, but then I think sunk cost fallacy.

Does anyone even care about the commonwealth games?
