I find a lot of "general" or "SDE" jobs as a fullstack python dev but I also see quite a few pretty good java positions pop up all the time. At least they look good to me. Maybe I'm out of the loop but I agree wit

I actually talked to Sam for a bit in the "early days" and he always seemed like an OK guy. Approachable and "honest" which makes this all the worse... I kept asking "why start an exchange when you're killing

I always carry some extra clothes, water, dry food and a first aid kit. I also have a dolly and other “big items” which have come in useful, but ofc not really as needed as the other stuff. Backpack for laptop and other things, sure. At le

I’ve never taken a bus, always a metro. It’s not “bad” but again, so many reasons I just prefer a car. All my stuff is in it, I can eat in peace, cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Of course, with the drawback of you have to opera

I always avoid public transport if possible. If you ever work retail, you'll know dealing with the public is generally not fun. Lots of people looking to pick fights by being obnoxious on purpose and no authority to turn to (at least

>Yes, but if Twitter shut down, you wouldn't have any more options That's totally fair. You're also SoL if you don't agree with their policies, etc. So I'm definitely not a fan of the way that works. >Mastod

At first I thought this wasn't a huge deal... it would be like having a bad experience with twitter moderation but now I'm thinking... in that case, you'll have to "choose" your first server pretty carefully then? M

Thanks for this explanation. I think I have the best understanding of it, that I've ever had. I think with this, I could even do a TL;DR for non tech people. I guess my only question now is, what if instance "collude" or yo

Not a good reason to have a bad UX, tho. I say that as someone that feels defeated every time I see a new issue in my inbox about the FOSS I made. It's fine if things are clunky but if someone consistently runs into problems, they&#x27

What happened with Boring Company? https://twitter.com/boringcompany/status/1588685426088628225 I honestly don't know much about those ventures at all. Seems they just started testing though?

Makes sense. I never really subscribed to hashtags in the first place. Always seem to be filled with spam. On twitter, I just follow a few interesting people and they'll usually tweet or retweet interesting stuff, so it works out.

Makes a lot of sense. So if someone said "look at this cool OSS I created." You would be able to comment and see other's comments like a typical comment section?

Interesting. So I swear this is not on purpose, but I went to try to see what thing I would be interested in. I searched "Mastodon Technology" and it leads me here: https://mastodon.technology/about It says it&#x

So if user A signs up on instance A, they can follow instance B and interact with users on instance B? Effectively, if you follow enough instances, it would look/feel like twitter? In the sense that you get a feed of interesting conten

Exactly. Think of how many products succeed just because they're "easier" than the alternatives. You could probably be up and tweeting in just a few minutes. You could be posting or commenting on reddit (provided the sub) i

Someone more versed in social media could perhaps explain this to me... Are you able to "sign up once" and be able to log into every instance of Mastodon? Would having a "central profile" database break everything it st

>that will not be posted on gov.uk I agree it _should_ be posted on official websites. Unfortunately we're racing to the bottom in how information is communicated and an app that delivers 10 second bits of nonsense is winning.

I know this is cliche to say... but I have been reading this comment for the past 10 years. Maybe one year it will be true but it has a terrible track record. I was assured Tesla would be "dead" by 2018 and in the 2000s you would

Big tech layoffs are never really "good." Even in the way you're describing. Its a nice notion... but I imagine most of the laid off workers will be doing the same thing, just at another company.

This is my issue too. Politicians have seemed to abandoned reality. Why not though, its what they get rewarded for. Politician X makes a claim that would be torn to shreds in a setting where people are at least trying to be honest. Polit

Yea, that really sucks, sorry to hear that :/ You never have a job until you're in the chair, sitting down coding... or at least that's my bar lol.

It would be pretty cool in a "fantasy" way but seems like it would be cool if you could "live" on a train that's always moving (besides at the stops). You would be comfortable in your own train car and wake up in a

If its desktop, there's no reason not too unless you can't reasonably get your cable to the PC. If its laptop... eh. I always have more issues with WiFi than with Ethernet, so I go Ethernet when possible.

stupid question but I guess having a central ID would go against the whole idea of Mastodon? I like the idea of "self hosted discord servers" but it seems weird to have a different identity for each "server" at that poi

So the investment into seeing if UE5 would work with something like CP2077 would be greater than the investment into a new engine? Or perhaps the risks are greater? I could see getting 75% of the way there and realizing its starting to buc

Awesome answer. Thanks for those examples, makes a ton of sense! I just assumed in 99% of cases, you could just "tweak" Unreal but if its issues with core components of the engine... I could see why an engine from scratch may wor
