Fun to see they have included the dutch Ĳ ligature. I think nobody ever uses this and just types out I and J. I previous employer told now and again made a search for the word 'vrij' (free) on Slack to see if people were honest wi

The ever humble Finish /culture/finish folder is, unwarrantedly, empty.

Second that and just to add, working fulltime with Clojure, apart from all the features and practical aspect is, really enjoyable.

Reminds me of the time when mobile data was still expensive and I did not have it. If I needed to chat with somebody and I was not home I would sit in the street waiting to get a few seconds of WiFi from busses would drive past. Worked quit

Seriously wonder what you think the reasons the world moved on is? Everything was so clear, neat and discoverable back then. Now everything needs to be hidden behind labels that may of may not be a button. And that is on a good day because

I have to read a lot of cv's and the job title part is just some empty noise for me. Developer, engineer, programmer they're just terms that go in and out of fashion. At first they will become more and more pompous, Senior 10x-Nin

This sounds very tiresome,...for both parties involved.

Just as another data point, my ex-girlfriend also had debilitating cluster headaches. Psilocybin, not microdosing just tripping on it, would make it stop for a couple of months. Also, you might be familiar that taking pure oxygen during an

I translated this literally from Dutch. I searched for it and I think it is just incorrect. Maybe English is not that weird anyway.

I feel you. Already quite some years into the age of DSL I was hospitalized. I needed to stay there for a couple of weeks and had my parents bring my laptop. There was no WiFi or anything. Then I that my laptop had a dial-up socket and also

'I literally did a complete 360 and could care less about how people use a language.'; That's all my pet peeves in one sentence. They come across as 'ignorant' as if the speakers aren't aware of what they'

That is true, I think I agree with this.

As someone with trouble giving up on meat this is a highly hypocritical comment but news like this always gives me an unsettling feeling in my stomach. We are sacrificing the life of an intelligent entity to fix the knee of another. Like I

That is what I did. I took the job as a knee-jerk reaction from losing projects because or covid as a freelancer. I think it has to do with the ISO security certification. It brings lots of little nuisances.

I worked at companies that had 'clean desk' policies. No desk, no drawer, no nothing for questionable benefit (it was touted as a security policy).

That argument really feels like a bizarre stretch. Also, I work fully remote. I take breaks by cycling around and bet that between that and a mindless commute it is way better for my brain’s plasticity. Also, I can sleep longer which is eve

In my twenties I had some years of severe panic attacks. It is funny, it completely dominated my life but I totally forgotten about it. Feel writing it off my chest, maybe it can help somebody. For me they were hypochondria related. My visi

I can relate to this. I get my music from Bandcamp, it is easy to get non DRM'ed files. Same for games which I buy on GoG, comes also with easy to download non DRM'ed files. I never illegally download games and music because of th

The time it takes to launch a new game and get into the actual gameplay is off-putting for me. I am not really into 'AAA' games but when I try one every once in a while I makes me very impatient. Trying to rush trough everything u

Did you try setting your User Agent to Chrome? I have to use Teams for work. Under Firefox it has problems and missing features, setting my user agent to Chrome solves all of it. Highly uncompetitive if you ask me.

I didn't put any effort in my source. I just googled for 'average sleep time Americans' an quoted the featured result. It wasn't really meant as a statement just a silly segue in to telling about the benefits of sleep. B

This site takes into account that Americans get there 8 hours of sleep though some quick googling revealed that the average American only gets 7 hours and 13 minutes of sleep. Just want to preach to those not getting there 8 hours, getting

Honest question, not trying to be negative but are many hackatons like this? All the ones I went to were a delerium of sleep deprevation entangled cables, fueled by beer and energy drink. Maybe not very healthy but this picture looks like e

I can second this. I have no need for Wayland at the moment and am still happy with XFCE but every time I read a comment praising KDE I give it a go again to see what I am missing out on. But it always feels, 'off'. I cannot quite
