This is true. Not only management, but a bunch of the so-called SDEs that are only there to say "we're investigating" every time there's an issue while they all wait for the guy who knows the system to wake up in his tim

This. It's just layoffs without saying it's layoffs. And the market answers. They've been doing it for quite some time and their stock is in an all time high.

Not in disagreement. Still have two jobs. My mental model still has an SQL output. I was dreaming of a two-way tool for diagrams.

Lovely, but my main problem with these tools is that they're unidirectional and aim to be the central authority. But they're a picture, no the database. I understand why people uses them, I just don't need a tool like that. S

Not ex-Stripe but in "close relationship" with them since its inception and there's a clear mark in my calendar circa end of 2018 when their decisions and output started to become... weird, or ill-designed. I don't think

I didn't say that every interaction was stellar either. But Linux means big money, it's not just "wrong code" but corporate interest attempting to get their way into the kernel (plenty of examples in the .org mailing l

You can but often at the cost of speed and simplicity, or incurring into excessive bureaucracy. I agree with the original comment, Linux won't be anywhere close to what's today without Linus attitude, no matter how "great&quo

Not being a genius has no correlation with not being a jerk, either. I'd take a genius jerk vs. any regular dude, the conversation may be unpleasant but at least interesting.

None of this rethorical back and forth about commuting is denying that the class move exists, aims exactly at what we're discussing, is driven by the big players through obvious cartelization, and so far, it's working as expected.

Less pay for doing exactly what you're already doing? How would that work?

It's a long term social class game to drive salaries back to the pre crypto/pandemic era. RTO is coupled with big layoffs, hiring freezes, etc. It may not impact highest performers that much but makes it worse for everyone. Big pl

I don't disagree (I think "operating in a local minima" is spot on), however the argument about "a bumpy road to a better place" is just futurology. I really hope that's the case, but I have a hard time finding

I'd love to agree with you, and I probably do for the most part regarding "spreading out good ideas", but only as two probably well-educated members of today's society. Unfortunately, while I completely believe you about

I agree with this. Nobody can be exactly the same amount of good at everything. What the current system in the west (NOT Sweden) encourages people to is: for a 50/50 scenario; as a man, you'll have to pay alimony, child support,

Yes, the title is click-baity. Yes, Postgres isn't perfect and not the "best" choice for every possible use case in the universe. But Postgres is a work of art, and compared to all the other relational database options, if it

Also: the really nefarious ones wouldn't be detected by the tool from the post, as they demand that the developer account is also transferred with the purchase, not just extension ownership (including the user base) and the code.

All you need is to send your password, and a quick session to set up 2FA with the buyer's methods, update recovery settings, etc. As long as you don't use that account for anything else, it's seamless. Legalese isn't goi

This is no joke. I've owned a quite popular open source Chrome extension for years. The amount of total donations wouldn't pay for a month of coffee. But oh boy, the number of times and insane numbers I was offered to sell the ext

Second this. I love beer and hate alcohol and lately non-alcoholic beers (specially of blonde types) have become very high quality. Just avoid the over-industrialized ones, like you'd do with normal beers.

Because losing your job is really a bummer everywhere, but in Europe you've got a lot of things covered by the welfare state (how well, it's a different discussion), so it's less stressful, which reduces the probability of pe

Depends on what you're referring to with overtime. If it means 24/7 rotating shifts to compensate for the unpredictable, yes, that absolutely happens. So it's not so much "overtime", is "off-hour shifts".

I actually agree with that. Wine was really shaky 20 years ago and now the Steam Deck works wonderfully. Can't deny the progress there. I was mostly referring to a "desktop experience" though. All windows look different, all

There's plenty of open source projects that derived from an university thesis, project, collaboration. Redis and Ceph quickly come to mind -- and somewhat the original Linux kernel, too. But they where very good ideas of a sole student

So, the state of the Linux Desktop ecosystem is just like it was when I abandoned it 20 years ago, but now with drop shadows.

I never bought the idea that work has to be hell to be financially viable. That's just marketing from the C-suite psychopaths. Have you seen many new skyscraper-level sites pulling all-nighters constantly? And if you saw one, do they d

Yes, it is, but only if you're a technical person, some sort of pragmatist, or have vast niche/field/focused experience and want to apply it. In such case you'll find yourself spending most of your time fighting to not b
