My theory is that companies are keeping the same office space but saving a ton of money on snacks. The workers think they're getting a good deal but they really traded gas money for snack money. /s

Yeah, agree here. Even with a stream of continuous employment, nobody gets a job by submitting CV's to websites. You have to have a network. Best advice I would give to anyone taking a break from work is to stay in touch with your old

In my teens I spent a whole paycheck on the Stanley Kubrick DVD box set. In hindsight this was dumb but then again all of the films are amazing. The set: Stanley Kubrick Collection (Lolita / Dr. Strangelove / 2001: A Space Odyssey

I've always wanted a PDP11 but having never used one I'm overwhelmed when looking for them. I have no way of knowing if I'm buying the right parts or how to tell if they function. Are there any retro recreations of PDP machin

Agreed. I had the displeasure of doing CodeDeploy to ECS Fargate a few weeks ago for a side project and IMO it was overly complex.

Yeah, I don't know if it's because ECS was my first container orchestration experience but every time I look at teams trying to do k8s on AWS I think how much easier ECS would be.

Before I learned about Gemini I was already 80% done writing my own protocol. I finished it for the most part. It's a little different in that it's designed for people to make keyboard navigable TUI's. Such is life. Here&#x2

In my experience the only reason you would want all the data is if the API lacks good filter queries. IMO, making it a PITA to download all data is kind of a feature.

Not a video game but there's a board game called Galaxy Trucker that ticks a few of these boxes--low brow, space trash, best effort ridiculousness. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/31481/galaxy-trucker

Lol, that's why it will never be a thing. I just want people to make more TUI's.

While what you're doing is much more appealing to mainstream as it interacts with real internet I wanted to share a loosely related PoC I've been working on for a terminal browser and custom gRPC protocol for serving terminal user

Yeah, I had no idea how involved it was until I went on a week long YT solo sailing across the <insert body of water> binge. Mad props to those people.

To be fair, the author is using several SaaS apps for core parts of his business: monitoring, email, DNS, etc. He's just "self-hosting" the more expensive parts (e.g, the EC2 parts) to get more for his money. This is great if

I've never once looked at how to play Go but your explanation was super helpful. I appreciate this learning style. I use it with computer stuff too (e.g, in an algo process a list of len 0, then 1, etc)

If you like TUIs I'd love to get some feeback on a project I just parked called Uggly. It's like a browser but for TUI's served by servers. http://uggly.bytester.net

As a parent of a newborn, none of the mothers we talk to actually want to breastfeed. Breastfeeding is a huge PITA for women, especially if they work. Despite the advice to breastfeed for 2 years it's rare if a mother lasts 6 months. I

People will always go around rules. The point of rules is to send a clear signal that something is bad or socially unacceptable. In this case it's signaling to the parents that it's desirable that they enforce this rule.
