We only run around 90 DAGs, so it fits on a single instance (one web server, one scheduler - still on 2.x). I have 3 environments though, each completely isolated: prod, dev, and local. We use Azure DevOps with CI/CD pipelines so you work locally, debug and iterate as needed, then PR to dev...

What are the perks of Astro exactly - just the support or do they have extra tools? I took over our data infrastructure group a few years ago and migrated their ETL platform (.Net executables running in windows task scheduler) over to Airflow, which no one here had used before. It has been such...

I get it, and there are some cathartic parts of coding that I miss, but I honestly could not go back. The genie is out of the bottle, man. Any future interviews I would ask about their AI usage and budget, and I would bail on any org that seems to be resisting it.

Thank you for your service.

Uhh feed it to AI. Do 40 hours of work in 4 hours. Play video games. Pocket 156k.

He is forever Sam Bridges to me now.

You certainly do not need the reflexes and coordination of Elden Ring and, while the bosses have unique moves, they are not nearly as polished as ER. Also, you can overcome skill gaps easier in Crimson Desert by using better gear and infinite food. CD has better mass battle vibes - Calphade...

I got it when it first went on sale and have like 30 hours played already. I am still sinking a ton of time into it. It is janky as hell sometimes (like climbing through windows or over mining nodes), but the combat is fun. They somehow nailed large scale comraderie with the Greymanes. I just...

Whatever you do, don’t try to put the trading wagon in reverse!

What is this gooner weeb shit?

I bet it releases before Star Citizen.

The bits and pieces I picked up from the WSJ have been pretty wild. He is 24 and, as bad as the margin call collapse sounds, it means his fund is now only up like 250% in the past year. Also this crash went down on his wedding day. He married some chick that is the “Chief of Staff” to Darius...

Don’t you mean “nosted”?

I replayed the directors cut of the first one a couple of months ago, and then just picked up the sequel last week. I am already 30 hours in and completely hooked. The improvements on the original game loop are great. Five stars are a bit more difficult, but the APAS Enhancements system makes...

Man time really is a flat circle. I remember installing Tie Fighter from 5 disks 30(00) years ago!

This too shall pass, brother. The cure for high prices is high prices.

Would it be Nermal’s Bordello?

When your stock price jumps on a purchase you make with mostly stock, that represents a powerful discount you enjoy compared to the rest of the market. Pretty smart move, planned well in advance of today, and executed immediately after the IPO.

Yeah, if I had to do it over again, that is exactly what I’d have done differently.

This is the way.

I expect something more bittersweet - like Carl survives but Donut reverts back to a normal cat (perhaps willfully to avoid guilt over atrocities she committed).

Southern Company shareholders certainly ate most of it, but that has been reflected in their share price for a long time. MS ratepayers ate a lot, followed by the US taxpayer care of DOE grants for coal gasification tech. The most ironic part of this failure is that, even if the technology had...

Are we talking about the average business consumer running local models? On what GPUs? A bunch of distributed, private, and likely underutilized LLMs seems less efficient than the data center model. This applies to individual consumers as well. Inference costs are coming down for each new...

I think you are saying you suspect you will be shocked…

Begone, ye 32gb pleb!

It does not help that work ethic amongst younger employees is generally pathetic. Like how can you work on the same boring project for 3 straight months? Especially with AI to help you plow through tough debugging problems, I do not have much sympathy for people who can’t demonstrate productivity.

Something is off on your scale or maybe you are taking about context sizes? I burn through a million tokens ($3 of Claude sonnet) in around 1-2 hours, and I am fairly diligent about clearing my context between prompts. If Claude says it is compacting, that means you hit the 50k context limit...

Private Equity typically expects a minimum 15% return and 20-22.5% is not unheard of before the risk profile gets into venture capital range. Of all the warning signs OpenAI is flashing, this does not seem like “OMG imminent collapse”.

Farm… ers… Market accident?

It is more of an HR ploy to avoid obligations to pay out accrued PTO. They tend to exploit employees with strong work ethics who feel guilty about taking time off. The company is happy if you only take 1-2 weeks off. It doesn’t cost them anything. Contrast this with a fixed PTO policy, where...

I would not accept Unlimited PTO and try to negotiate a fixed number of weeks if possible.

Published by MicroProse. Now that is a name I haven’t heard in a long time…

38 studios got Rhode Island funding to locate in Providence. At least they released a semi-decent single player rpg.

I never gave farming a second thought. I kinda enjoyed that some of the “junk” loot was useful though. I had items that broke down into adhesive favorited so they were marked when I was rifling through file cabinets and stuff.

Anti-vaxxers are bad people, in case that wasn’t clear. I keep waiting for the episode where someone has an adverse reaction or heart inflammation.

I am forever tainted by Dungeon Crawler Carl. I can’t read a post like this without first hearing “New achievement!” in Jeff Hayes’ voice.

If anything, we are moving more toward giant mono repos.

Ghosts of Tsushima had the most powerful ending of any game I ever played, it hit me harder than the end of Red Dead Redemption, which is saying a lot .

Jesus, when am I going to be old enough that I stop finding stuff like this funny?

Can we get some spoiler tags in here? Show isn’t even out yet and all the plots are now ruined!
