I feel lucky to have avoided this so far. It’s really not like this on my team. I write a fair bit of code and review a ton of code.
I think it was the EPA’s National Compute Center. I’m guessing based on location though.
When I was in highschool we toured the local EPA office. They had the most data I’ve ever seen accessible in person. Im going to guess how much.
It was a dome with a robot arm that spun around and grabbed tapes. It was 2000 so I’m guessing 100gb per tape. But my memory on the shape of the tapes isn’t good.
Looks like tapes were four inches tall. Let’s found up to six inches for housing and easier math. The dome was taller than me. Let’s go with 14 shelves.
Let’s guess a six foot shelf diameter. So, like 20 feet circumference. Tapes were maybe .8 inches a pop. With space between for robot fingers and stuff, let’s guess 240 tapes per shelf.
That comes out to about 300 terabytes. Oh. That isn’t that much these days. I mean, it’s a lot. But these days you could easily get that in spinning disks. No robot arm seek time. But with modern hardware it’d be 60 petabytes.
I’m not sure how you’d transfer it these days. A truck, presumably. But you’d probably want to transfer a copy rather than disassemble it. That sounds slow too.
Not looking at the man page, but I expect you can limit it if you want and the parser for the parameter knows about these names. If it were me it’d be one parser for byte size values and it’d work for chunk size and limit and sync interval and whatever else dd does.
Also probably limited by the size of the number tracking. I think dd reports the number of bytes copied at the end even in unlimited mode.
It’s cute. Maybe my favorite use of ai I’ve seen in a while.
I wish it looked at contributions instead of just the profile page. Much more accurate roasting.
Mine looks a little like that. It’s my job though. Everything’s on GitHub.
I think the technologies are pretty bubble based. We are 80/15/5 Mac/Linux/Windows and it’s been 15 years since I worked on a software team that’s thats mostly windows. But I talk to them from time to time. But if anything Mac feels underrepresented compared to my bubble.
I admit I’m probably biased in favor of believing the survey is representative. I work on one of the databases.
Speaking of databases, I don’t work on SQL Server but can see the appeal. It implements a huge array of features and it’s documentation is pretty good. Folks have told me it’s a lovely database to use.
I downloaded google lense a while back to identify a mushroom. It was pretty and I was curious. After installing and taking the picture it replied… “Mushroom.”
The second image said false widow’s death wish or something metal as hell.
When someone is having a computer problem I ask them to restart first. Not because I think they don’t know to do it, but just in case. Some people don’t know. Sometimes people forget. Obvious advice is useful sometimes.
I think all those are a little true. But I’m mostly guessing. I’m happy to change my mind if anyone knows better.
Either way, these folks are my hero.
Good for them!
Usually I use glob patterns for test selection.
But I did use reges yesterday to find something else. A java security file definition.
Thanks. I remember one of these had people being excited about it and I felt bad that I couldn’t try it. But Linux is hard and we are all so grumpy. I get it.
Is that the Mac only one?
We knew spooks were all up in the phone network. They’d show up and ask installers to run them some cables and configure ports in a certain way. I was friends with folks who were friends with the installers.
I work on software for finding things and summarizing stuff. We were one of those Apache 2 -> other relicenses a while back.
I can’t really talk about specifics. But we all have a working imagination though. I think about it a lot. But I still do the job. There are good folks doing good things with it.
I’m a pretty good engineer. Not the best I’ve ever met by a long shot, but I’m good. But I’m very outgoing for an engineer.
Ironically, that’d describe both my parents too.
I recommend it. Try to go in blind.
