I feel like they could have avoided all this argument by saying won't raise taxes on working people's earnings, rather than just working people. Any sane and honest person knows what they meant and the whole thing is just trying to gotcha them. Just shows they don't have any substantive criticism.

Yeah I'll willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on this one. Could very easily believe that a dev added the reference without realising the implications and they fixed it very quickly. Will be watching for any future attempts though.

Haha I know what you mean. It's in St Helens unless there's more than one

It is my understanding that the only difference applies to hosted software. For example, Lemmy is AGPL. If it were GPL, then a company could take the source code, modify it and host their own version without open sourcing their modifications. AGPL extends to freedoms of GPL to users of hosted software as well.

A real example of this would be truth social which is modified Mastodon and as AGPL those modifications are required to be open source as well.

i got that once, except it was my exact question with no response at all, then i noticed it was me that posted the question 4 years earlier.

i used to use stack overflow a lot back in 2007/08 but i cant remember the last time i actually got an answer.

it can barely get single functions correct but we're supposed to believe it can write entire systems from a single prompt? Either way our job at the moment is writing instructions for another piece of software (compiler) to turn into the code. This just adds another level of abstraction. High level programming languages already let us do more with fewer staff. It didn't make coders redundant, it let to even more software.

edit: forgot to add, agree with your edit, that or just trying to inflate their stock prices.

yeah this is my dog. at the vet last week he knew something was about to happen and was absolutely not interested in cheese.

After he had his vaccines and it was all over, so much more relaxed, would eat cheese again.

I was always told landlords deserve to extract profit from the economy for nothing because of the risk they take on. Yet time after time it seems like they can't possibly tolerate any risk at all.

Definitely. What I didn't mention is all that took over a month!

Been there many times. Had one case where support had to through the reseller who sold licenses in our country. Actual people who knew what they were talking about was tier 3.

We had a bug and were trying to report it and get a fix or workaround. Just told no, we're doing it wrong. After a lot of back and forth we had to pay for an "expert" to fly over and show us what we were doing wrong. Turns out he wasn't an expert, he was a salesmen. Made a demo for us on the flight and the first time he ran it was in our meeting room on projector.

Failed in exactly the way we had been saying. It was very satisfying.

Finally he phoned the dev team who confirmed the docs were wrong and we couldn't do what we were trying.

I think its more that they're worried labour voters won't bother actually voting then the tories win anyway.

 

We're using Terraform to manage our AWS infrastructure and the state itself is also in AWS. We've got 2 separate accounts for test and prod and each has an S3 bucket with the state files for those accounts.

We're not setting up alternate regions for disaster recovery and it's got me wondering if the region the terraform S3 bucket is in goes down then we won't be able to deploy anything with terraform.

So what's the best practice for this? Should we have a bucket in every region with the state files for the projects in that region but then that doesn't work for multi-region deployments.
