It's on f-droid rather than google play. I think for the people interested in using Syncthing rather than Dropbox or Google's syncing option, that's not _that_ much of a problem.

I wonder how much that is biased by the people who buy pedal assist ebikes. They're still expensive enough for most people that it requires a certain amount of cycling enthusiasm to buy one.

I think this is a weird SAML pattern I've seen before where e.g. Okta generates a URL that's like https://somevendor.com/SAML/somesignedbase64payload to do SSO, which is sort of the inverse of the more common

A gap year is normally between the end of secondary school and starting college (so 18-20 or so). TY is between junior cycle (junior cert, or inter cert if you're older) and senior cycle (leaving cert). So 14-16 year olds (who couldn&#

Is this worse than the standard python interpreter? Python startup time is a big reason I've moved a bunch of my personal utilities to Rust.

It is still painful in Rust, I remember at one stage in a project having a bunch of helper functions to convert structs from one version of nalgebra to another as my game engine (Amethyst at the time, I think?) used one version and the ncol

Especially as Q4 is a slow time for hiring from seasonal factors alone. Companies doing layoffs in Q4/Q1 to boost numbers for whatever the end of their financial year is, holidays and stuff slowing down hiring pipelines.

Sounds like Dublin. Amazon were crazy aggressive for hiring right until 2022, and are now less aggressive but still hiring pretty actively. Though how much of that is hiring for expansion and hiring because they churn through people is a di

Full caps AWK feels like a relic from the screaming UNIX days, and golang for Go is incredibly common (and as far as I can tell, the proximate cause of the nixlang term)

Also there's too many things called Nix. There's the overall project, the language, and the primary interpretation. It's also why you'll sometimes see nixlang to refer to the language.
