Absolutely anything? GitHub slowly became a standard through market share. Concourse CI is much better, in fact nearly anything is better than GitHub as it doesn't have first class container support.

I blame this on two things, technology and the financialization of everything.

Long ago places had large parks, outdoor swimming pools, cities became less of a place to live and more of an efficient use of space/money and thus the human aspect was removed.

Technology in the sense of games, twitter, chat, etc removes the superfical need for human contact but ruins real bonds with people

So what do you check for? Assuming things works because __linux__ == glibc + Linux leads to all sorts of fun

This sounds like openstack?

Low level how does this compare to Victoriametrics, you can get the high cardinality with clickhouse and other columnar dbs but the tradeoff is more ram usage, slower queries, io, etc

The issue is "physically demanding", look at the guys that are 50+ in the trades, they have all sorts of physical issues from working in the trades. I say this as someone who has two JM qualifications.

The issue imo with Gentoo is the compiler flag explosion, the giant case statement I had long ago for packages that would fail to compile on even simple standard -Werror= was huge.

Is there a reason almalinux or rockylinux wasn't used? I would except CERN to want first class Selinux support no?

This is like string functions, there are some variants with just crazy SIMD when the mean string length is ~14-20 bytes

> Junior and mid-level engineers will now require more senior engineers to sign off any AI-assisted changes, Treadwell added.

Beatings will continue until senior engineers leave?

So, there is professional skills and then there is "soft skills" which at many places is a euphemism for political theatre. Nearly everyone I've ever met has professional skills; few can stomach "soft skills"

If anyone was around for the dot-com bubble any company internet related or with a web like name was irrationally funded, P/E didn't matter, burn didn't matter, product didn't matter.

AI has all the same markers of a the dot com bubble and eventually venture capital will dry up and many AI companies will go bust with a few remaining that make something useful with an unmet niche.

Proper CI/CD for Gitops is actually really hard, how do you alert to failures that doesn't tie you to a specific provider and follows an alert chain? How do you chain dependent Gitops pipelines without coding a giant pipeline mess? How do you do healthchecks in a portable manner on what is deployed without giving the CI/CD runners basically global root?.. and on and on and on, this is all solved by Fluxcd or Argocd.

The whole business model of cloud providers is to charge a premium for their ecosystem and to create lock-in by making everything interdependent. A Kubernetes deployment could cost 100k/yr a similar cloud deployment would be ~1m/yr.
