Totally true, but I’m talking an order of magnitude or two difference…
A query returning ~100 jira tickets would take about 250-300ms on our old beater running Postgres on busted old SAS drives shared with a bunch of other crap. Seek times were atrocious but not catastrophic. It usually didn’t timeout, and only crashed once in a while.
Sunning the same search on jira cloud now takes 2-3 seconds, often even more because the page first has to load 20 MB of JavaScript bullshit. Time from clicking a link to seeing information is so long you’ve got enough time to take a sip and put the coffee down.
Like I get it, distributed systems are hard. And having a multi tenant system as big as they run is probably crazy complicated. But come on, there’s no excuse for that level of consistently bad performance!!

I spent weeks moving a company’s decades-long history from on-prem to their cloud after they EOL’d their self hosted products. What a letdown. Somehow a multibillion dollar company can’t compete with an ancient quad core server shoved in a coat closet when it comes to page load times.
The constant upselling for their shite AI products drives me crazy. And the worst part is the elements are dynamic and uBlock can’t consistently kill it. Ugh.

That would work perfectly if he listened to music consisting of a single tone of different volumes…
Only way that could make any sense would be if he was trying to make sure the speakers were in phase. If you’ve ever had one wired backwards there’s an exact spot where you can get them to cancel out, it feels bizarre. But you don’t need to adjust the cones, just wire things the right way lol.

Do you people not put milk in your crude oil? I find it suits the subtle bitterness of Alberta tar to give it a wonderful but subtle aftertaste.

There’s usually a fuse under the dash labelled with “DCM” or “MAYDAY” or “MCU” or something like that. If you pull that fuse out, it’ll cut the power to the transmitter unit (4G/5G module) and kill all of this creepy shit at the source.

Yep. He was a big gamergate guy ten years ago. Perhaps he’s changed his mind and doesn’t feel that way anymore, but he’s never recanted anything from back then. So while he seems to have stuck to his land, and possibly changed his alignment, he’s not changed his attitude.
