That all sounds wildly dysfunctional. I've worked in startups with single digit engineering teams, up to massive corporations with tens of thousands of employees. I have never faced this sort of bullshit. I'm not even sure how I

Yes! I love building a big wish list and only making purchases when the sales are deep, typically I'll only pull the trigger when the sale is > 50%. Is There Any Deal? [0] is great for tracking sales and price history. [0]: https

Yes, easily. I'm surprised to see this, honestly. I've never had detectable problems with my devices when I am outside in the heat but I will be more conscious of this going forward. 35C is frankly laughable.

I recently got into PoE and I very much agree. It's been a long time since a CRPG sucked me in the way that PoE 1 has.

Yes, I rarely touch current games outside of very specific titles. I'm mostly spending my time playing games that have proven to be worth it on a community level for at least 6-12 months, and spending a lot of time on classic games tha

Not to the same degree, no, but between a Switch and a Steam Deck I'm able to actually chew through my backlog today. I am no longer a completionist but I'm at least able to experience games again. FWIW, I've got 4 year old t

I had phantosmia three times following COVID. Cigarette smoke each time. The first time lasted nearly a month and was very intense, with the subsequent instances lasting for shorter intervals and not being as intense. I was worried for a mi

Conversely, 4 of my 5 employers in the last ~20 years in this industry have been through my network. I'm still I interviewing, but the process has been relatively painless for me otherwise, especially in the face of anecdotes like the

I feel incredibly lucky that I haven't actually applied for any programming job since my first. I've walked through the back door into my last 4 employers through my network. I'm 20 years in. Don't get me wrong, I&#x27

What? Are you implying that you don't write bugs?

I sat through that one, too.

We use ours when we're away from home but have people in our home to watch our pets. Otherwise, they're unplugged and sitting in a drawer in my home office.

I've had some conversations with neighbors about it. In fact, most of my neighbors have had the same conversation with one or two of our neighbors. The muffler on this guys WRX, which is always on the street instead of inside of his

> I think they made assumptions that engineers cannot be trusted. Having spent ~2 decades working with engineers, I'm inclined to agree... Past, present, and future self included!

I suspect that people like this don't actually care how productive their emoloyees are. That's just the justification provided for what they also probably understand is micromanagement. For whatever reason they have trust issues a

This sounds like Parkinson's Law applied to software engineering organizations. I also wonder if the larger organizations actual goals have anything at all to do with efficiency in software engineering / practices. I've bee

I have a similar mapping to use `json.tool` inside of vim buffers. Very useful tool that's gotten a ton of mileage from me over the last ~decade.

I also develop and run projects this way. I really, really enjoy it. It's a very pleasant experience, on both the development side and execution side. I'm relatively new to Python (used it for ~1 year in 2007/2008, again brie

I also took the same path, got the tut-tuting. It seems to me that it's only illogical in retrospect. I don't know that there's body and brain eating viruses ravaging Mars, or that souls have to be frozen to die, and I have t

I had a few bad trips, one being very bad and which changed the direction of my life. It also made me realize that I was doing these things for the wrong reasons (mostly peer pressure, or a desire to fit in with certain crowds, etc.). In

I started with CL in December '20 and used it for small toy projects for about 18 months and then, when my last child was born, completely forgot it exists. Janet looks really interesting. How did you go about learning it?

Fascinating. I scored 800 on the squares and a 2.0 on the dogmatism scale. Thanks for sharing this, the interactive quiz and research is really interesting.

As long as we can also jail the people who, for no fucking reason whatsoever, drive 15 mph slower than the rest of traffic, too.

Yeah, but imagine the car starts trying to drive away while the fire hose is attached to the fire hydrant. They'd have to disable the vehicle completely in this case, right?
