I've done a lot of IP filtering, it's what a lot of systems and services allow us to, so I'm curious what the IPv6 mechanism is

We in Colombia had a public service announcement where it showed someone driving really fast (while still respecting semaphores), and another one going with just enough speed. In the end, they both reach the last semaphore almost at the same time and then they part ways. Essentially it shows that driving crazy fast in the city doesn't necessarily gets you faster to your destination.

Now that I'm an adult, I tested it several times, and it matches 90% of my attempts, but that's in the city, with semaphores. No way I'd think letting everybody steal everybody else's buffer would provide for a reduction in journey time, even in highways. You're adding items to a queue, it'll take longer.

Now, it is probably safer, but we can only take so much even if we are not in a rush.

Games have had such an influence all around the world, from Oscar-worthy music to narrative mechanisms, to graphics and graphics engines (Unreal) even used to power backgrounds on loved films/series (which I guess are an art form), even at a technical level to the discovery of the fast inverse square root for Quake III Arena, to many other things. Games are more influential now than many previous art forms.

I can enjoy myself playing, these days I can enjoy seeing others play those I cannot, I can enjoy myself listening to incredible pieces of music I would NOT find anywhere else, I can enjoy some incredible drawings with all kinds of different techniques (some forced by the times, but that itself is creativity)...

I don't agree with a lot of "critics" on a lot of topics, not just gaming, because their criteria for evaluation may be flawed or outdated even, but since they have their monocles on, they know more than me. There is a reason there are critics and user ratings now. It's decadent system, but I understand its purpose, and it's helped me pick some awesome pieces of art, or games to play.

I don't complain about mornings, about working, about any activity: I dig most of them, I really like some, but I just can't seem to feel alignment with this "purpose" thing. In my mind, my purpose is to live with health, enjoy life. For that I do the usual: travel, meet new people, practice a different sport or physical activity, hike, dive, go out to restaurants, play video games, watch films, go to theater, cook, draw, paint figurines, I help people (I'm no volunteer, though). I'm only missing woodworking because I live in an apartment and I can't fit any of that here, haha.

Am I cooked? Do I have depression and psychologists can't seem to adequately name it? Or can I simply go on with my life like this without feeling weird that every one else has/perceives all these issues that I don't?

Since they are relatively open, at some point comes in someone that doesn't give care about anything or it's extremely vocal about something and... there goes the nice forum.

In my country, at least on my Samsung Galaxy mobile device, they are sending Flash Messages for ads, even though I requested to be removed from their lists (and they complied... with calls and SMS).

I already see them making use of this for ads until a big group of people complain.

I'm tired, boss.

Maybe I didn't make the best argument for it, but the general sense was: Stop buying them. If you keep buying them even when you see so many things you disagree with, they'll never improve upon them. Some were such stagnant anti-features, at that point it wasn't honest from the company to keep them in the games.

He finally understood for Sword/Shield. So he hasn't bought this last generation, although the latest calls to him because there are some interesting changes, but I told him to wait for the next refinement, assuming they really improve even more.

Why?!

I've worked with several Development Leads to actually define these. After the initial adjustment period, everybody's local environment setup properly: No one ever spent time reviewing style and formatting on Pull Requests.

Just decide as a team, auto-apply if possible (less than 5 seconds for big changes), enforce, and be done with it. Stop wasting everybody's time because after weeks you cannot make your mind on it and also don't tell your team/Lead about it.

I've worked as a Manager so I've had to deal (and collaborate) with this kind of misunderstanding, but it truly gets tiring when developers complain about users trying dumb things (for developers) over and over again, yet they themselves have learned nothing from previous encounters with this phenomenon and complain instead about stupid users (or PM, or company, or whatever).

I have setup AWS + SOPS in several projects now, and the developers do not have access to the secrets themselves nor the encryption key (which is stored in AWS). Only once did we ever require to rollback a secret and that happened at AWS level, not the code’s. Also it happened within the key rotation period, so it was easy.

For us it’s easier to track changes (not the value, but when it changes), easier to associate it with incidents.

When I've played the Manager part, I've always tried to do my best, talk to my team, set them on the proper train to success professionally and from time to time personally too, incentivize them to accomplish company goals, but also when that hasn't worked, I've also had to set them on the proper train out of the team/company.

I've only had issues with 2 out of ~30 people I've managed, all others I've had to lay off have understood (even when there wasn't a reason: Sometimes I was just told to pick someone to send home). Some people don't take it well, no matter how justified you are to fire them. I don't stand for bad friends, why should I stand for a bad employee? Or sometimes "no one" really connects with them, and they never connect with other people, I can only help them so much; maybe this person will "click" somewhere else.

I still talk with some of these people, even sometimes meet with them when I go to their cities, have parties. Normal, human interactions.

For me phrases like "it's family", "they are my blood", "we are friends" are always played like you have to stand for bad people. If you have never cut off a family member or friend, you're probably watching too many films and following too many traditions. Sometimes no matter what, you are different or the tradition is stupid. You may try to make it work, sometimes it simply doesn't.

As a Manager, you can do your job well, you can treat people well, and still bad outcomes come from it, or you can still be seen as the enemy. Whatever, take what may seem good criticism and be done with it.

As an Individual Contributor, I'm not saying not to be best friends with your Manager, I'm just saying that one thing is "the job", which has its own myriad of things happening, and another your personal life. Both can be great experiences as sometimes they aren't.

Thanks for sharing!

I’m also with the other commenter about settings these things at the Editor level, but also at the pre-push level.

We benchmark how long it takes to format/lint only changed files, usually no more than a second, maybe two, but I admit for some languages this may take more. An editor with a language server properly setup would have helped you find issues earlier.

We also have reports for our CI pipeline linters, so if we see more than 1 report there, we sent a message to the team: It means someone didn’t setup their editors nor their git hooks.

If the checks take more than a second, yeah, probably pre-commit is not the place/moment. Reliability is important, but so is user experience. I had companies where they ran the unit test suite at the pre-commit level, alright? And that is NOT fine. While it sounds like it’ll find issues earlier, it’ll screw your developer time if they have to wait seconds/minutes each time they fix a comma.

Looks interesting. We’ve picked tools based on time saved without too much extra knowledge or overhead required, so this may prove promising.
