I highly recommend 'What every SRE should know about GNU/Linux resolvers and Dual-Stack applications' by @brk0v. Brace yourself for a severe impostor syndrome attack: https://t.co/cQRaKQPdc4 🚑

Now you can use @Redisinc or @valkey_io when running tests of the Redis VMOD for @varnishcache. It's the first step to adopt Valkey. Not sure if they will be able to coexist in the VMOD forever, but so far Valkey has proven to be a drop-in replacement: https://t.co/N9QBGaH3Ax 🎉

@jerolba Not really :)

Everyone.

You where right. the solution was a skill issue. as some people noted by now. i was using int and not long in the java that caused an integer overflow on high numbers causing the collatz function to terminate.

when using long, the Java version is now (only very marginally) slower than the GO.

Case closed.

This new neighbor in the building just updated the label on her mailbox. I’m at a loss for words. What’s the mental process behind such a masterpiece? How to handle this situation now? Is moving somewhere else the only solution? 🤯

Scrum is a cancer.

I've been writing software for 25 years, and nothing renders a software team useless like Scrum does.

Some anecdotes:

1. They tried to convince me that Poker is a planning tool, not a game.

2. If you want to be more efficient, you must add process, not remove it. They had us attending the "ceremonies," a fancy name for a buttload of meetings: stand-ups, groomings, planning, retrospectives, and Scrum of Scrums. We spent more time talking than doing.

3. We prohibited laptops in meetings. We had to stand. We passed a ball around to keep everyone paying attention.

4. We spent more time estimating story points than writing software. Story points measure complexity, not time, but we had to decide how many story points fit in a sprint.

5. I had to use t-shirt sizes to estimate software.

6. We measured how much it cost to deliver one story point and then wrote contracts where clients paid for a package of "500 story points."

7. Management lost it when they found that 500 story points in one project weren't the same as 500 story points on another project. We had many meetings to fix this.

8. Imagine having a manager, a scrum master, a product owner, and a tech lead. You had to answer to all of them and none simultaneously.

9. We paid people who told us whether we were "burning down points" fast enough. Weren't story points about complexity instead of time? Never mind.

I believe in Agile, but this ain't agile.

We brought professional Scrum trainers. We paid people from our team to get certified. We tried Scrum this way and that other way. We spent years doing it.

The result was always the same: It didn't work.

Scrum is a cancer that will eat your development team. Scrum is not for developers; it's another tool for managers to feel they are in control.

But the best about Scrum are those who look you in the eye and tell you: "If it doesn't work for you, you are doing it wrong. Scrum is anything that works for your team."

Sure it is.

… me toca la patata y me pasa mucho viajando en transporte público fijándome en quienes me rodean.

Después leo no-sé-que de VOX o Feijoo y ya se me pasa 💁‍♂️

Me da *mucha* paz de espíritu ser espectador del buen trato al prójimo. El no impostado, el que no busca nada más que hacer lo que es de sentido común, el que no es más que bondad que se dispara como un reflejo…

I'm convinced everyone who actually likes JS/TS and the whole ecosystem is just suffering from Stockholm syndrome paired with being forced to use it. We're all just stuck with this reality. 😵‍💫 Layers and layers of madness, pure madness.

I have one spare invitation for the Bluesky Social beta: https://t.co/vo1av0iX26. So far, it's just a toy compared to Mastodon + Ice Cubes, but it looks promising. First come, first served :)

#Teams is seriously shitty, specially on Linux, that’s a fact. Now they’re killing the desktop app, I'm moving to the web, but almost every time I open https://t.co/SmOYPtK4ac, I get a white screen and the only solution is to remove cookies for that domain. Am I alone in this? 💩

[Carlos Abalde @carlosabalde]

@washosk @macosas @ramboxapp Han pasado solo horas, pero con Chromium + la nueva WPA la cosa pinta mejor. Incluso con Chrome, a costa de algún CTRL+F5 esporádico 💩
