Right, let's do absolutely nothing so we can fire Joe, who's been underperforming for the last two quarters (because of healthcare issues, life affordability, lack of direction, burnout, etc).

I ended up using thiserror everywhere but `:/src/bin/`, and using eyre in there. It's a nice compromise between being precise on your errors with your code, but allowing you to be careless at the very end of the error li

Yeah, but no one has a book on pretty much anything at their fingertips that you open and find a hopefully good chapter on what you wanted. With books you needed to consult people on which book to read first.

I found that my best 5-6hrs a day are enough to do the work that I could do in 8hrs. With less time I'm also forced to prioritise, prune more heavily, and be creative, but at the same time, there's stuff that in the short term is

I wish computing evolved to let thin desktops evolve into some screen + phone mount where the dock provides extra power, compute+GPU, screen and peripherals. The problem is attaching a thunderbolt/network CPU with it's own memory

Reminds me of that dad teaching their kids programming by preparing a PB sandwich [^0]. Solvers are generally really good at bending your rules, but in a context where you want that. An outlaw rule-bending maniac is not what I want from a h

I found KVMs to be annoying and settled on a USB switch and letting my monitor auto-switch inputs. My mouse felt laggy under the KVM because of the high polling rate it wanted to use. Some key combinations also got added delay because of th

If they are willing to spend 35B there's no doubt they could spend 30B without asking the government to reach into the people's wallet. The US needs to do something about lobbying. It seems too late already, but maybe you can get

AWS makes it annoying to be resilient as AZs aren't transparent to their users, so I'm more surprised some were prepared for it. It seems to me these day people are OK with AWS going down and just blaming it on AWS rather than on

At uni on an advanced algorithms class we had a take-home exam with 6 problems for 3 days or so. On Saturday I already had some ideas for most problems, but there was one that I didn't knew how to approach and stayed a bit late thinkin
