At some level you need engineers to roughly accomplish the sane things. I looked at the definition at Principal which is where I siy now at another firm.. and I've held at other firms... and it lines up. that's what I expect to d

How do I find it: Daily driver for 9 months now, no regrets, love the board, and I've probably paid more for mine than anyone other than the creator :). Hard to get going: I'm an ex-DataHand user. It was near instant for me. T

I use a Svalboard now-a-days. For those looking for the modern Datahand... That's where it is. Same switch type, and much the same feel :) Disclaimer: I do volunteer firmware work on Svalboard. (vial-qmk)

Already using it fine sir, and yeah... it is used for record setting ;) I know I set one with it... I'm pretty sure Rav uses it. Many Rats do.

Inactive Fuel Rat here. What they are saying is dead on. We will do what we can to rescue you, and the skill of some of the Rat's pilots is second to none. (I won't claim that of myself. But one of The Rats usually holds the Bu

Odd, my dentist's hygenist complains that people who have their wisdom teeth suck at taking care of them in general. Mine got pulled for good reason. They were severely impacted, and pushing other teeth out of alignment. (I can still

Then push for them. For me the motivation is maybe not having to worry about breaking a hip if I fall.

... Take it from someone with celiac. You don't always feel it. I didn't for decades. But it caught up with me. Really badly. And when I say badly, it nearly killed me. I got hypocalcima, and fuck me if it wasn't the mos

I wish you could use Genera. If you like emacs/slime. You would see how much we lost :(

The prophylactic effect of this could actually be a real benefit when the org is small. As it grows, this type of as system will break down anyways :)

It does and it doesn't. Without an interchange of value, you can focus on the thing as the thing, instead of as a value exchange.

Contributing to something can be helping at the local church, or other things of value. I don't consider the urge to help others a negative one. But one shouldn't measure. It is doing the thing to do it for whatever your reasons

The key is to not over invest in work. Work is not life. Work is something you do to enable you to do the things, that are you life. I enjoy programming. I program for a living. But, I also have riders on my employment contract that all

Level ends up depending on two things: Skill - Do you have the raw skills to do the task at hand. Scope - What scope are you doing that task at. Example: - Setting up a single file server for your team, pretty easy, low effort. - Setting up

To answer the good part: If you've used a normal linux distro and installed GNOME.. and then decided "That was dumb." and wanted to go back...and realize, you can't. There is no real way to get rid of Gnome sanely. (I

The biggest one is: There's 1001 poorly documented ways to do things. So until you learn to read nix, have a nix LSP etc. It is a major PITA. You can be reading a .nix file and be like... "What the ... is that?" And sadly, y

People have tried with things like guix and there's a few other Nix spinoffs. The issue is that: Nix/NixOS is here and JUST good enough. So replacing it will be hard. What is come up with has to solve things so much better that

No, because if you break a hip, you lose a ton of mobility, which will cause an avalanche of problems.

There is a reason CI/CD servers exist. Heck there's a few pieces of software I work on that I can't build locally, I just push WIPs to CI/CD. I could try to setup a CI/CD pipeline of my own, but it isn't worth

In general, but sometimes commercial software can make life better. I use the JetBrains IDEs, I have no issue paying for them, I can install them on as many machines as I need etc. If I make more FOSS, by using a non FOSS tool, it is worth

It isn't pedantic. It is the truth. I personally won't touch non-commercial products. Mainly because I never know if what I am doing is commercial. If I'm doing open source work, but not getting paid, but there's a co

That's ok, they'll just find another tax carve out. VAT is the real answer. If people had to pay consumption taxes, the issue would go away. You have to spend the money somewhere.

This is already done by the construction and other seasonal industries. And honestly, for the case of a construction worker, where working outside in the winter may not be feasible.... it makes sense. Yes, some will work the winter. Some w

I understand a similar system is in place in other places in Western Europe. I have no issue with it. But in a situation where my healthcare, etc is all riding on my job, the stakes are a bit higher. That's the issue in the US, IMHO.

Here's the thing: There is a massive asymmetry between what a company that can afford to do 1000's of trials at a time to get what they want, and an individual who really can't afford to be culled and lose 2-4 months looking
