You like the possibility of someone being placed onto your team without anyone who is part of that team having interviewed them? Maybe that does happen at some point, I forget. Long time. If it doesn't.. I think I would absolutely hate

That's really thorough and unfortunate. I hadn't heard about all of that. I had a committee interview there maybe 8 years ago and already that was such an impersonal feeling that I really disliked my experience and didn't con

He's been part of some very pivotal oss projects/books/talks so people like to follow him to see where he's going and what he may be working on. I'm sure there are a huge number of engineers he's worked with&#x

He mentions that the culture changed a year ago which is when they started doing things like requiring 3 days in, actually checking employee in/out times, etc. IIRC for a long time it was 3 days required but it was on the honor system.

Yeah I live downtown and use delivery all the time because it's way less hassle/stress/time than me taking transit or spending 5 minutes just to get my car out of my garage and going down the street then another 15-25 to driv

So you only use Obsidian for its vaults/syncing?

Yup, that's where I'm at now for email.

Don't worry, Google actually did lock me out of everything a few years ago and when you have the pleasure of using their wonderful services you're literally given no information and have to google (hehe) around for a form to send

I write a lot of tui/cli apps and I've never even considered doing sub commands. I always do --my-action-1 and --my-action-2. I can't think of any huge positives from using subcommands. I know for a fact that that will take l

I'm a former neteng and I'm having a really difficult time coming up with anything that is remotely interesting. I'm not going near running a Tor exit node. With proxies and NAT I really can't think of a single thing I c

Their highest sales in a single year. I cannot believe how many jets and flights there are every second of the day. Looking at those flight maps over the country is insane. Where is everyone going, all the time.. I need to travel more.

That was actually my first time in SV/SFBay area (just stuck around San Mateo and San Jose) and I hated San Mateo. I'm used to gritty fun towns like Austin and Denver and San Mateo was culture shock. Netflix has the same problem

I've never even thought about this. I think this is kind of strange > An option and its argument may or may not appear as separate tokens. (In other words, the whitespace separating them is optional.) Thus, -o foo and -ofoo are equi

That's the Google way. I was referred by 2 people on the team I'd be on but nobody on that team had anything to do with my committee interview. So, instead of the people who know my work (from FOSS projects) it was a random gaggle

Yeah I love it. Makes the CLI only people happy and can let you spread the app around to people less familiar with what it does, etc. https://i.imgur.com/dxXwRzD.gifv

They're saying that they don't want sub commands (executable --action actionsoption). They prefer (executable --actions-option) which is a command flag as opposed to chaining commands off one another. Example: https://i

When I make terminal apps I make both a TUI and CLI option if the app is big enough to benefit from it. Here's an example: https://i.imgur.com/dxXwRzD.gifv This allows the less familiar or technical staff to do things

1. You teach so your experience is probably very different from us SWE/SREs who only work with other technical staff for the most part. 2. You can add cursor and mouse control to your .nanorc. I'm not sure if bash, etc have that.

by swozey 3y ago
That's interesting. Did you come up with that yourself or is that a common standard? I've always wondered why the style of command flags wasn't "more" standardized after 32 years of Linux being around (not that that

One of my huge frustrations is the inconsistency between various apps or even in the same app. Sometimes it's "executable -help" or "executable --help", sometimes it's executable -h, or --h. I also find it real

I know everything is logged but I basically quit using irc when tons of channels started having bots that would log EVERYTHING in a room to public urls. But it is really cool that I can read channel logs from events, like 9/11.

For the probably 95% of us who don't know Scottish comedy I've surmised by painfully watching this for the last 5 minutes that Limmy is evidently some popular Scottish comedian. Knowing this will help you get the "joke"

I cancelled Netflix years ago. I just got a new Shield TV remote with only a Netflix button and it is constantly getting hit. I probably hit it 5+ times a night. I wonder what they learn from that.
