I misread this a little bit, as KI is the German equivalent of AI (Artificial Intelligence = Künstliche Intelligenz).

In my book this is an incompetent PM who doesn’t test anything by himself. If he would have to sit through the JSON parsing a few times every day it would have been fixed in a matter of days.

What does „änd“ mean in the example?

Hey is the blogpost reloading every second (on mobile safari)?

Thieves stole mine in 2020. It was a Mitsubishi Carisma from 1996. They steal them because it’s fast and they contain expensive metals.

There are videos of thieves stealing them on YouTube, but we don’t have any footage.

I would imagine that most of that is probably due to latency. Which might already be worth the extra effort, depending on the usecase.

> I've never met an engineering team that used Riak

I was part of a recent cloud migration. Part of on-prem (though unfortunately not migrated by my team) were this very first Riak Cluster I saw in production.

The engineering team used it as "kind of S3" for images, with 3 to 5 PHP scripts providing an interface to Riak and imageMagic. It seemed to me like a good abstraction and I think the migration to S3 was mostly painless.

Other than that I only had contact with Riak at university around 15 years ago, when we tested cluster setups of several NoSQL databases and tried to manually introduce faults to see if they could heal. Riak passed our test at that time, MongoDB didn't.

> a common feeling is that might be making us more judgmental and more picky in our partners. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. I love perfection as much as the next person and knowing what's out there helps you narrow down the ideal human being you want to spend your life with.

I kind of disagree with this. I‘m pretty sure love is something where the 80/20 rule applies as much as everywhere else. Looking for perfection doesn’t make much sense to me, when you can be 80% happy for 20% of the invested time. Try to find someone you can argue with and talk it out without being so angry that one of you walks away forever. Searching for the perfect partner who’s not in a relationship with someone else sounds like a nightmare to me.

And I’m with the same person for > 20 years, non-married, with a 12yo daughter.

termshark is a TUI for tshark. So termshark looks a lot like wireshark but in a terminal.

For security researchers it’s also interesting which implementations parse with first-win strategy and which allow comments (I think Ruby does this).

How would you compare this to termshark / tshark?

Thank you for clarifying.

For linux, there is faketime, which will set a specific date and time for all child processes. This enables you to test software you don't even compile for time-based problems, e.g. logic around Feb 29th or daylight saving time.
