That's funny, I dislike Ruby for probably the same reasons you like it. I don't want a language that's clever or elegant, I want it to do exactly what I say and nothing else. Lower level just makes more sense to me, I'd be a shit & unproductive software engineer.
People love to repeat this but it's not as comforting as you think it is.
Thank you both for warning me against doing something like that.
Don't forget waking up hungover, checking the time, and seeing you still have 3 hours to go in a loud metal tube.
They cite grsec, that guy is a notorious troll. I've seen customers apply their patches thoughtlessly, on bad advice, and bring down production systems. Linux security isn't perfect (if it was I would be unemployed) but a lot of those problems are solved on properly configured modern systems.
The confusing line between ironic shitposting and genuine hatred, suddenly made clear when the community uplifts casual misogyny and transphobia. In theory there's no logical connection between renting out property and bigotry, right? But in practice...
This is really it. I've been working remote since well before 2020. If my office were 12 minutes away by bike I'd be there every day. Having an entirely separate space dedicated for work is great, actually! Especially if your team is all there too.
But when I first went remote it was 90 minutes by car, and half my team were in other countries. Going remote gave me 15 hours per week of my life back. There's nothing you can do to convince me to give that up again.
Nah, the 25 has a stylus. The 24 didn't. The 26 won't either.
The 7.62x51 NATO round used in AR-10/LR-308 pattern rifles isn't the same as the common 7.62x39 used in AK-47 pattern rifles. But I'm sure getting NATO ammo isn't exactly hard for them right now.
Oh wow, didn't realize they gave extra XP. I was doing fine without the bonuses so I never really bothered looking at them unless I was going for a specific boss.
The best feedback I ever got on an assignment in grad school was "wow, your homework looks like a textbook!"
It may not always be correct, but it's always pretty!
They usually don't have a choice. They know this stuff is bad, but they need it to demonstrate compliance with XYZ framework so they can fill out the marketing copy so sales can land a contract with some big customer that wants to know why $competitor has better security than you.
The archive link to the AI article is hilarious. It's neither chronological order nor canonical order. It's not even a comprehensive list, a bunch of stuff is missing. It's just bullet points of some star wars media vaguely ordered.
Can't wait for search results to become even more poisoned by this useless garbage!
I used to self host email and got sick of my emails never getting through. Email is federated in theory, but pretty centralized in practice. Paying for Proton was definitely worth it.
