The sentiment should rather be, that the system maintains itself. And that's actually something I would get behind.
Tinkering around is cool, but I'm in my 30s and when my girlfriend's build pipeline finishes, I'll be a father, I can't spend 4h every week fixing stuff, I need a reliable platform to work on. Currently that is indeed a mix of Debian and Nix for me.
At least the normal update process should work completely transparently for the user.
Not a sysadmin, but a capable user.
People shouldn't just accept technology as magic. They should understand at least the basic principles of the technology around them. Corporations want us to be dumb and incapable. Look at cars, you seriously can't expect a normal person to fix anything on them. But that's not because of inherent complexity, but because corporations want us to just buy new parts when they think it's time.
Sapere aude was true in the 19th century and it's true today as well.
If you count the numbers of As, H, and Os in his last tweets, it's clearly 23, 11, 24. That can't be a coincidence!!
No, line must go up!
They don't want to pay employees.
And surprisingly about how difficult it is to kill him before the election.
An incel with more acne than accuracy almost killed him. A professional team might have gotten it done.
No, it's a desert planet that's legally distinct from tatooine, but still very obviously inspired by it.
Just like starkiller base was definitely not a death star and this weird mining site in 8 was definitely not inspired by hoth, it's salt and not snow afterall!!
By getting yourself a passport, a working permit for wherever you want to go and a plane ticket.
Imagine being a doctor in this scenario. You could save them. You have the tools, the capabilities, the facility. But you have to let them die or risk ruining your own life. There are no winners here.
Six figures only sound good if you don't know what the costs of living are.
Essentially, you don't have much buying power so you could move somewhere else, earn less and still have a higher standard of living.
Unless you're one of the income millionaires or old money, the Valley is not a fun place. It's fueled by the ambition of young people who throw a few years away hoping for their gold rush.
It's interesting in the sense that something went catastrophically wrong here.
This isn't just a small indie dev wasting a bit of money, it's hundreds of millions set on fire by an established company in this industry.
The fact that "no one heard of it" is exactly the point. What went wrong here?
I asked a while ago, how to build an automatic light switch and finally got around to actually building it.
My board is an ESP8266 mini D, and ignoring all the sensor parts, my problem right now is powering the actual light.
It's just a small LED array and I connected it directly to the 5V and GND pins (controlled via a transistor).
Measuring from the wall (so including the PSU), this whole setup pulls about 3W (so far expected), however, one small component close to the USB connector gets uncomfortably warm, and I'm not sure, whether that's ok.
The hot component is one of the two small thingies circled in the picture. I thought the 5V get pulled directly from the USB plug, so I'm not sure, why there is any circuitry involved.
I think you don't distinguish enough between professionals and capables.
All your points are either "sysadmin" or "complete buffoon" and nothing in between. That's not how reality works.
You absolutely are expected to be able to check your oil and just a few years ago, you were expected to be able to change your tires. That doesn't make you a car mechanic, but a capable user.
I'm absolutely not a car guy, but I know how to change a tire. Why? Because it's necessary knowledge. I also know how to file my taxes, even though I'm not an accountant or tax consultant. Again, because it's necessary.
