The Doctor

I keep a documentation page in my wiki for every thing I set up - how I did it, what I ran into, how I fixed it, and where everything is. Reason being, when it comes time to upgrade or I have to install it again someplace else, I remember how I did it. Basically, every completed step gets copy-and-pasted into a page along with notes about it.

As for watching the file system, I have AIDE on all of my boxen (configured to run daily, but not configured to copy the new AIDE database over the old one automatically). That way, I can look at the output of an AIDE run and see what new files were created where (which would correspond to when I installed the new thing).

This. Whoever manages to splice an optic nerve (meaning, it goes just about perfectly) would be in line for a Nobel Prize for Medicine.

No, that makes perfect sense. Thank you for explaining.

I like hearing about other people’s environments, because it gives perspective.

Just out of curiosity, how often do you have to run pip install?

Now if they could just help defuckulate the Pypi search problem.

It’s written in Rust.

All jokes about the Rust Evangelism Strike Force aside, various parts of the industry are finally starting to think that “If it’s written in Rust, we have less to worry about with respect to that thing, so we won’t torture the devs and force them to sneak it in the side door anyway.”

It’s a thing that I’ve been seeing at work for the last few years.

I just took a peek at the status and outage history of $dayjob[-1]. Seems they’ve been having an order of mag more problems since they laid off everybody who knows how servers work.

Oh, well… ~~

It’s this thing that lots of money gets you.

We’ve reached full Reddit replacement. Good job.

Don’t forget five to seven hours of homework a night.

Probably jet lagged, too. A lot of pre-prods are worked on during the flight home from a conference and after one gets home when they can’t sleep.

Historically, playing by Chicago Rules when reacting has done pretty well. It’s certainly worked pretty well for me.

I’m in a similar situation these days. Things are too crazy these days for that kind of risk.

That’s a really good question, the article doesn’t go into specifics.

Then the body’s own repair systems recognize the damaged DNA as foreign and get rid of it.

This is somewhat ambiguous. It could mean that human DNA polymerases see the damaged DNA, scroll backwards and forwards to the START and STOP codons, and break the bonds to snip out the bits of viral DNA. Then endogenous DNA ligases patch the ends together. It could mean that it affects DNA in the viral particles themselves (but from the context in the article I don’t think this is the case). Or it could be the case that the process triggers apoptosis to eliminate the infected cells entirely; I don’t think this is the case because then you have necrotic tissue all over the place, and given that we’re talking about herpes viruses this means fragile skin in tender places… ouch. That’s kind of like using thermite to roast a marshmallow: Fun but overkill and potentially hazardous.

Or there were very different ways of interpreting and managing them.

Open a ticket, the rest of us will jump on and +1 it.

Except they don’t, because insects and corpses are animals too.

I get the point you’re trying to make but it falls flat if you peek in on that part of the world once in a while.

It’s the internet.

Probably. Somebody’s got to get that promotion by launching something before the next round of layoffs.
