yep, the crosswinding is the cause of the tangling

I lost track of this fantastic creation at the Only God Forgives point and it's so good

Ryan Gosling Won't Eat His Cereal

"well, someone needs to explain to me how that's possible"

if only God judges then I'm going have to object on the basis of burden shifting in prayer before my wish that they get a crosswound spool and bask in the glow of understanding that production defects exist

/r/3Dprinting has some weirdos that think it is just impossible to the point of fantastical that filament spools can get crosswound so they fight anyone that shows or references a crosswound spool

I had a pack that was all crosswound and the manufacturer admitted it when I contacted them

prior to that our postmortem was "but that's the thing! we *can't* turn them off! the bucket is 'photos'! but we're working on it!" so they also lucked out in being the "promises kept" postmortem. Which is a thing executives want to highlight (and harrumph, maybe promo the orator)

we had (Celeste's) per-caller rate limiting and as soon as (Petar) said they ripped out his rate limiting I zeroed them. "please! we said it would be done by Monday!" (weekend is peak, bro) so I said I gladly would explain to anyone why I'm keeping them zeroed until Monday morning

also when I was persisting the world's cat pictures and videos the team that made lookback videos had if everstore else everpaste (the failure log) and they also expertly removed rate limiting that another person wrote for a reason so they started full-speed killing everything on a Friday afternoon

I feel like there's opportunity for a different mural artist to visit every single one of those Sassy Sasquatches and add a Harry flipping him the bird

"she's stealing a piece of public art!"

hmm, that seems bad

"it's a Henry"

could she "steal" more of them please? you can't steal public detritus

"why doesn't she just buy one from him"

well that would certainly validate the McDonald's-level art's use as advertisement wouldn't it

sometimes celebrities tell the public how they wish to be interacted with and I just think that's cool

CORRECTION: it is not relevant whether the X-43A pilot was beating it or not

personally I've only beaten it at Mach 0.0810

big deal an X-43A scramjet can do it in 6.3 seconds

speaking of records something "beating" it can't qualify for

there's also 3D printers (and also CNC mills et al) where a company that claims to have a gun-detector wants states to mandate that none may be sold without gun-detectors for some reason

also will activate the "never piss off machinists" rule

“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” ― Jonathan Swift (The Examiner, 1710)

yet again someone claims to cure their Type 1 Diabetes by exercise, part of the MAHA grift set

show me your historical negative C-peptide test and then your current positive C-peptide test

some psycho parents look at that and decide to try to wean their sick kid off of insulin

National American University was at W112 a.k.a. West Market, Floor 1

West Market was kinda the saddest one, IMHO - but it was where the Gamestop was so still a mandatory visit

the goofy fuckin' ad in question

Rep. ILHAN OMAR Talks Terror In Minneapolis And Becoming American YouTube video by The Adam Friedland Show

oh my god

one day one night saturday's alright online's just fine night time any time get your degree set yourself free national american university [core memory unlocked]

goofy fuckin' ad I've seen a thousand times

a complete and utter lie by a beclouted non-expert: 2.6K likes

an expert, who's seen exactly the thing being described first hand because they worked in that exact area for nearly 20 years weighs in to call it a lie: 1 like

the plan? visit a leather daddy shop, buy an executioner's costume and craft a few unserious axes (e.g. one that appears stiff but turns noodly when a hidden button is pressed)

the rest, I assume, is pick-up lines, dad jokes, and Scooby-Doo chasing castmembers

the theater director at my high school told me to consider it and I think I should have joined for the compatible freak atmosphere alone

which do they hate more: the First Amendment or the First Commandment

Dave was born in apartheid South Africa and renounced his citizenship to avoid mandatory military service to the regime

Facebook went through it, which is why Scribe exists and is, in its normal state, non-blocking. Because log blocking fucked the site by exhausting Apache worker threads

What a day that was in 2019 where by accident it became blocking and stalled all my Thrift worker threads

Failure is teacher

hey so there's this unsubtle video game where you kill Russians (Soviets) to save some POWs being executed by firing squad (a war crime)

also see: movies and TV shows, the villain is either Commies or Nazis

I grew up in the US, not Bulgaria, which is why I don't bullshit about Bulgarian culture

human code good, Claude code bad. this validates my priors about Claude therefore it must have been the case, and you should believe me because of my conclusory statement that all people except those *touched* by distributed systems at scale lack the expertise to form an opinion about

that supposed person would kill Bluesky's budget - talking $5M/yr. But the people I know in that salary class still are like "we did what we could and got dragged through hell" and learned everything that outages like the shared postmortem could teach them. Now they dream of goat farming in meetings

I think people think you can hire one supposedly brilliant engineer who will craft the perfect defect-free solution ahead of time and never have to visit again and I'd say that is "so when are you going to graduate?" naive but I know at least one of my interns knew that innately

this was a shit happens, not a Claude did it. I'll go further: Claude does not erase an engineer's duty to architect things for reliability (PE joke: that's what managers are for) and I don't see how Claude could uniquely craft something that works until a stress condition as described

and I know this intimately: scribed runs *by default* as non-blocking but in certain instances that definitely happened in the year 2019 and fucked a service (Keychain) I was responsible for, it can hit the limit of its buffering and start blocking, and thus, the fucking begins (SEV1, horror)

Listen: Claude writes code. Claude does *NOT* do software architecture, that's put in the prompt

FB crashed this same way at some point, someone pondered their orb for a bit and then said ah-ha what if we made something local we can shit logs to in a non-blocking way and Scribe was it
