Yes I used Caffeine as well... So IT not only reduced the security (because I couldn't use a sane setting like 15 minutes of inactivity), but also had 3rd party software running in my user account...

IMO the main argument for devs to use linux is that Docker can run without a VM (and without Docker Desktop which is now payed) in linux. If you do docker stuff with any sort of frequency it will save years-worth of your time.

I don't get the systemd hate, as a user I find it quite nice. Centralized place all services live and I can see all the stuff I use and need. Good CLI for inspecting services and getting logs. But like, I don't manage linux server

The most strange thing is that no one pays apple to put all the crap on the dock by default. At least HP gets money for bloatware.

Man I just got a mini-itx case and use a full-blown windows desktop next to my TV. Bought a "fly-mouse" (wireless mouse that works with gyroscope), set screen DPI to 200%. One thing I didn't expect is that my family ends up u

I was having a similar problem due to company managed profile. IT forced lock-computer and turn off screens on 2 minutes of inactivity. MacOS atrocious window management completely fumbles to restore window positions when external monitors

In my old project we used recover to give a HTTP 500 response, trigger a log/alert and restart our HTTP router and its middlewares in case of panic in some function. Restarting like that was faster and more stable than crashing the who

Yeah which is why I originally asked, some other languages don't really have a way to iterate over enums.

Of course the layoffs were planned during the RTO, that way they have to fire less people because a lot of them will leave on their own!

General programming languages theory question, is one supposed to iterate over enum entries or is that considered an antipattern? I have found myself needing to do that a few times and it always felt a bit dirty.

Dealing with old crappy codebases can really tank a product, especially if you don't have management support to fix the broken practices. I imagine the Teams project gets a lot of pressure to deliver features instead of fixing the unde

> Renting second-hand means 'subletting'? Or something else? Renting second-hand means renting outside of the rent-controlled system. Either from someone who owns the apartment (or rather a stake in the HOA corporation) or some

I imagine internally they have a hard time staffing the Teams project. Like VSCode is a WebView2 project but it is miles ahead of Teams in quality. At least on the client side features seems far more complex too. Teams used to use Angular 1

Funny that written summaries of voice calls are actually a really useful feature. One of those easy wins of applying AI tech: unobtrusive and useful.

The hardest part of keeping software sane is saying to no requirements. I like to say two things about software: Code is a liability The best code is no code

There is inherent complexity and self-inflicted complexity, they tend to go hand in hand but self-inflicted complexity can be exacerbated in bad projects. A lot of embedded software is just inherent complex, cars for example.

I worked in an IoT platform that consisted of 3 embedded CPUs and one linux board. The kicker was that the linux board could only talk directly to one of the chips, but had to be capable of updating the software running on all of them. That

Yes for first-hand contracts, which are impossible to get. So your options if you are not born into the first-hand contract queue (people put their 5 year old children on the queue) is to rent second-hand which was what I was doing. The HOA

No, it is just the messed up rental market in Stockholm. Government and HOA controls don't let people be landlords for more than 2 years of a time and require you to ask permission from the HOA and to have a reason. The actual apartmen

Not in the US, but I live in a CoL place in Europe and when I bought my first apartment I was baffled by the amount of money I was saving every month. My previous rent was about the same as my mortgage, but 40% of my mortgage was going down

Remember when all we worried about was when government was tracking/spying on you? With illegal phone wiretaps and hidden microphones. Good times... Now we have to worry about the government AND the big tech companies AND their crazy C

That is a very spicy hot take, wasted on hackernews. I agree though.

I know a couple of people who work as independent consultants, they have a few local recruiters that arrange the gigs and get like 10% of their pay.

The bigger the companies/products/teams the less code you actually write. Right now I have a project where a PM asked me to describe the logic of a certain thing to him and I couldn't do it. Literally I couldn't spell it

Man in highschool I interned as a technician for a school computer lab. Never in my life do I want to run Cat6 cables around again. I was freaking 17 and already getting back aches from leaning down so often.

People would be surprised how much of the software world relies on low-pay PHP/wordpress developers. I know a few people who started their careers like that. No-code and low-code solutions have been getting better so the demand for tho

When times are though qualified independent consultants can more easily get gigs than an unemployed person can get a full-time job. From the point of view of companies they like the versatility of being able to let go of consultants if thin
