I started getting messages every week from a carbon black scan blocking access to some npm’s package.json.

IT just white listed files named package.json.

My answer is usually “I don’t care how well it runs on your windows machine. Our deployments are on Linux”.

I’m a old developer that has done a lot of admin over the years out of necessity.

IT is an administrative function and is really part of operations.

Software development is generally a creative position and is a profit center. If you work somewhere where you develop internal apps, you may have a different perspective.

It goes both ways. At my old job, they took away local admin. But for some reason they configured visual studio to run as admin. So, I just wrote a little program that opens the shell. Whenever I needed admin, I just ran that program from Visual Studio.

If you think “of” and “have” (or it’s contraction) sound alike, you’re part of the problem. “Of” has a softer finish more like “ovf” than “ov”. The transition from ‘o’ to ‘f’ starts hard with a ‘v’ but finishes with a soft ‘f’.

Or “would of”, “could of”, “should of”. Enunciate your words. “have” and “of” sound different.

It’s “psych” as in “He psyched us out” which comes from “using psychology on them”

I had to manually install displaylink on Fedora in order to use my USB-C docking station. Its not included in the fedora repos. But it drives 4x1440p monitors

We’re talking about this: “Who gets to have the time-zone that’s noon at noon?”

That established the context that we are talking about time zones.

Actually you only mentioned timezone “who gets to have the time zone where noon is directly overhead” and then went into a rant about England vs France. You never once mentioned the meridian.

the correct time zone is UTC not Greenwich Mean Time.

Warnings and errors are negatives not positive. So if it generates a warning that is OK, it’s a false negative.

Then things will have to wait until the code is of sufficient quality to be accepted.

My experience is exactly the opposite. I don’t work for a FAANG but I’ve been around the block a bit. Its always the junior devs that try and add new warnings etc to the code base. I always require warnings to be cleaned up even if that means disabling specific instances (but not the whole rule) because the rule is flagging a false negative.

I had an issue years ago with a tv and a dvd player. For whatever reason, whenever the dvd player was connected, the tv would blank out every few seconds. At some point I posted on the tv manufacturer forums. I did eventually figured out that I leave a thumb drive connected to the tv, the problem disappeared. I wanted to let people know about my work around. I got 1 result – the forum post I had made quite a while back.

I’m pretty sure it was an HDCP issue.

It’s not necessary but you’ll get updates quicker. And I’m a chronic updater, even pick and choose stuff from updates-testing.

You need to “sudo dnf clean all” first to make sure you get the freshest index!

I love my NUCs but haven’t really paid attention to what has happened since Intel sold that line to ASUS.
