This is so spot on. Developers and “software engineers” seem to have a pathological habit of wanting to bring in gee-whiz technologies that they only have a cursory knowledge of and actually do very little to make the products and projects

It depends on how you are evaluating it. Did I enjoy gaming? Yes very much. Did I enjoy it more than sports? For sure. Did gaming have more of a positive impact on my life than sports. Not a chance.

It’s insane how much of my youth was literally wasted on dumb video games. It went way beyond normal levels of entertainment. Luckily after a year or two of college they started to lose their allure to me. But I knew many people that it ser

It took 12 hours for my dog to be seen at the emergency vet I went to recently. It was brutal. And that was the only one that would agree to have us come in. It was over an hour a way. All the local clinics said don’t come in unless it was

It’s good to know that broken equipment can pollute the airwaves for years unchecked, and even if the broken equipment was found and the responsible party identified, they would still be given opportunity the rectify the situation even thou

Businesses and services that were absolutely overrun a year ago are now dead quiet. You go to change a car title or renew your license and you will be seen right away instead of waiting 2 hours. Same thing with restaurants and bars. I went

You can’t fine a broken transformer $34k.

I did read it. It doesn’t provide any significant detail of his alleged transgressions OR whether they were responsible for any damages. I’m inclined to believe that were there any hard evidence of a negative outcome it would be described i

Sure, a piece of paper says they could penalize him much more. It doesn’t change the fact that they are trying to take an amount of money that could well be 25% or even 50% of his yearly income. It’s excessive in my eyes. This kind of thing

I hope he can afford some good lawyers. It’s likely there is no evidence of any actual harm being done, just the potential for harm. $34k seems unnecessarily punitive in this case.

They are, for now. Keep in mind those record profits are tallied in an increasingly devalued currency. So there is certainly a greed component, but it’s not the only factor. The pain of the lower classes in society trickles up to higher cla

I am very concerned about the state of the economy in the near to mid term. Working class people are getting absolutely crushed by inflation and high asset prices. Many of the things people depend upon have a relatively inelastic demand (su

It does seem to fluctuate from year to year.

You said it. Sometimes I can’t wait for Monday to roll around. Sometimes I daydream of just checking into a random hotel or airbnb and hide for half a day.

I know quite a few people making insane amounts of money working at banks. Sure it’s not glamorous, but their careers are doing just fine. I would agree it’s not a great place for fresh grads and extremely junior developers. Way too easy to

Most of the “driver aids” available today have the competency of a drunk or highly inexperienced driver. Just maintaining lane is a problem for all the systems I have had the opportunity to try. They are easily flummoxed by worn or moved la

They have had releases in the last year, and dbunit.sourceforge.net was updated in 2021.

It’s not that rare. Many large companies have an HR portal and one of the many options is usually to “end your employment”.

I like it. I would change the reddit contribution to only look at higher quality subs or just drop it. You have a generally decent mix of content on your page peppered with the worst of the worst from reddit.

A big omission is dbunit. It’s oldschool but very very powerful. I have used it for many things, but perhaps the must useful is extracting a subset of data out of oracle and inserting it into mysql in order to test components of production

A benevolent dictator for life is clearly a very beneficial thing for open source projects.

That’s like saying food availability is a core component in the obesity epidemic. I suppose there is some truth in that, but the solution it suggests is wholly inadequate.

People in the US are very spoiled in this regard. In Europe and Asia having a car and being able to afford to drive it is honestly a luxury.

This something that annoys me to no end at places like chipotle. People ask for extra everything (except meat, they charge for that), then at the end the poor employee is struggling valiantly to close the monstrosity. Surely that is what th

The fact that they haven’t realized story points are like the score in “who’s line is it anyway” is a major red flag that they probably are not a 10x developer. Such a person would surely have ascertained the reality of the situation. The t

Right. What non-programmer is going to think to turn a word into character list with positional metadata sprinkled in.

Capitalism is somehow responsible for police brutality and a pandemic. That was my cue to stop reading.

That is very cool. It looks like you actually have a lot of overlap with an identity orchestration solution, such as Strata.
