@GossiTheDog @leak meh it sounds an accurate description of most shitty infosec sales pitches I've had to endure. Such a line never stopped the senior managers buying.

Whether it actually helped the coal face, is a totally different story.

@dick_turpin 7 days and I'll be on a train to #fosdem

For anyone interested in infra topics, quite a wide range, a friend runs this newsletter:

@nixCraft

echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq; echo s > /proc/sysrq-trigger; echo u > /proc/sysrq-trigger; echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger

Works even if systemd has hung, or other weird stuff, plus safely syncs disks.

@dick_turpin its better and cheaper than taking the 3 points, so it's hardly with menaces.

Plus, you might find it useful.

@bigcalm @sil I've always seen Krita as more of an art creation tool rather than an image manipulation tool. I never really think about the toolkit an application has been built with, rather what its capable of doing.

@popey SMD work (and especially rework) looks and feels brutal, but the packages have been designed to stand upto it. It surprising how many failures are related to power failures and simple passive components. Gamers Nexus's latest video on EVGA has some excellent SMD rework insanity in it.

@mattwilcox if you create an observer per element you wish to observe you get the pattern you describe.

Yet if the API woked the way you describe you could not apply the same logic to a collection of elements.

The bigger trip up I've hit with these APIs has been around the callback closure lifetimes and React crapiness.

@bigcalm Espresso Martini?

Rather good and interesting read about the real issues behind some of the UK railway issues:
