I'm immensely burnt out on programming professionally but if I could get paid enough to live comfortably in a 2br apartment with my cat writing CRUD apps in PHP without ever even needing to see a customer or client, much less speak t

Leaving on time and refusing to do unpaid work after hours is not even remotely close to "slacking."

At least one mute person was banned from their Discord for saying they need to be able to use muteTTS to talk to other players, which sends... quite the hostile message to players with disabilities. VRChat has practically no accessibility f

They already do that: increased number of avatar favorites. emmVRC, a hugely popular legitimate mod (referred to as a "wholesome" mod by the community), used to have this feature, but removed it an implored their users to support

Not claiming they do it, but it seems quite possible to triangulate a coarse location via Bluetooth using other phones with their location services enabled. I tinkered with something similar in college, just using little BLE beacons intende

I've done full stack and frontend but always had a lot more fun and felt more productive doing devops stuff on my personal projects than anything I've ever done at a job. I've been considering a switch, primarily because I&#x

It is frankly just delusional to act like there aren't solvable problems with the capitalist mode of production and the problems it's caused in, esp., the past two decades. Current wars enrich already massive corporations at the e

The (forced) threaded chat in Teams is an absolute nightmare and I refuse to believe they dogfooded it to see if it was actually useful. It just made everything take a whole bunch of extra time and effort to follow and comes across as a fea

A small ultrasonic cleaner for my frames is a really good idea that I'd never considered, mostly because I didn't know they were so cheap. My lenses are trivially easy to take out by removing two screws, something I require in my

My experience with elementary school in California vs. Florida as a kid had such a disparity in quality in favor of California that I was able to notice it even at that young of an age. I came to figure out why much later in life, but I&#x2

Arson has a measurable cost. Piracy's so-called costs are theoretical at best and often completely imaginary.

Experienced basically this while working for a startup. Equity turned into shares, which turned into "incentive points" that could be revoked at any moment and for any reason and were otherwise worthless. Same deal, 15k "ince

Nothing really shifted to the left, certainly not the DNC. We just gave Bezos a $10B bailout. The rich are getting richer and richer. Roe is being overturned. There is not "far-left" presence in the US with any actual power. The r

Yeah, this whole idea is ridiculous and wildly biased by the incredible over-valuations of some of these startups.

Funny seeing this here. I was playing with ffmpeg settings earlier and decided to encode a game highlight with AV1. It's only 20 seconds and seven hours later, it's just about done. I'm certain I can twiddle more settings to

My first thought was my G7. It has an RGB lighting feature that's off by default, and a sticker on it showing G-Sync support that you can cleanly pull off, but I'm not sure why it being a "gaming" display makes any actua

I don't think I've ever had a manager that has checked even a single one of these boxed, which I guess explains why I'm so burnt out that my (non-solo) software career is likely over.

At this point, I think maybe Python ceases to be the correct tool for the purpose. There comes a point where trying to squeeze every ounce of performance out of something that is, relatively speaking, not focusing on raw performance is just
