Eh, I make tooling for a living. It sucks to have nobody using your tools even if they were fun to make. You spend months/years putting something out there that you think will really benefit a company/team/foss and it goes no

I can't imagine getting an engineering job at an engineering company and asking them if I'd be allowed to create an opensource IDE that would never be a sold product. I can barely even get allowed time to write SRE tooling to impr

I feel bad that I feel this way but I really dislike them, but I can't believe those gamer chairs became the mainstream chair to see over the last few years. A few years ago they would get clowned, then it was less, and less, but it is

I was 6-teens in hampton /vabeach (84), i didn't have friends IRL doing anything with computers ever as a kid. Computer stuff was considered super nerdy. Dad was army so he'd be gone for 2-4 years at a time and all I had to d

I was a kid in Virginia in the 80-90s and never got to do any of this stuff, but I was on irc and I saw people all over california and in college doing lan parties. Made me so jealous. My friends didn't have the internet until the 2000

Paywalled but from the comments here it sounds like this is moving near your HS friends? Absolutely not. Nothing in common with them. If this is more about living in a more dense area where you have friends closeby, absolutely. I live in a

This entire industry is something I feel like I understand 2% of and every time I make progress to get to 10% (3 months later) some massive change happens and all the terminology changes.

My big takeaway from this is that War Thunder is only 200 employees. I know this is a massive income generating game so I'm googling around.. I found this post from Dec 2023 that has a mention of 121 million euros net revenue. > ht

I have about 30 years as a linux eng, starting with openbsd and have spent a LOT of time with hardware building webhosts and CDNs until about 2020 where my last few roles have been 100% aws/gcloud/heroku. I love building the cool

I use them for a bunch of things on a bunch of different devices/OSes and one light frustration I've had is I've accidentally stored a few of them in different apps because I'll be on a different device and either not ha

I'd appreciate it if they let me block specific countries, etc from even attempting to log in. You can see the failure attempts somewhere in your user settings and I have them all day long from countries I'll never step foot in an

I don't know how I convinced my parents to get me this in elementary but not a single other person I ever met had heard of it. I had no idea it had interesting tech, definitely didn't know it used satellites. It was a really unrel

They built a very nice declarative CI/CD system before Github Actions existed. I think I was on Bamboo (and Jenkins) before going over to Gitlab and it was a breath of fresh air, a huge understatement. 2015ish.

Has anyone gone from absolutely hating cooking to enjoying it? I just don't enjoy the process of it. I've done cooking classes, blue apron sort of stuff, etc. I love eating good home cooked food but I've had partners who lov

It's wild how greedy google has gotten with Pichai. Nearly all of my friends who worked on Kubernetes since 2014-2015 have left google with their RTO requirements since 2022-23 where they told everyone they could work remotely now they

My sister is a geologist who works at nuke plants (regulatory stuff, determing if they're in legal areas to build, ground contamination, etc). She always complains that it's an old-mans (this was in her 20s, 20 years ago) group of

Can something like this happen in the EU with its stronger worker protection laws? Can a company fire you after telling you that you're allowed to relocate then force you RTO?

I feel like I'm watching satire of what a 2000s mega rich nerd would be like but it's really him. He even has a basket/hanger on the wall for all of his ... canes. Didn't see the fedoras nearby, though. "At only 1.5
