They may not have to be horrible, but they DO have to be beige... apparently?

By MIT currently, do you mean it will eventually change to a different OSS license, or it may become a closed source product? That latter would be rather sad...

The last bit is very true - companies are making money for the owners _and_ to pay the programmer's often relatively high salary.

It's a general rule in life that the more 'fun' or 'fulfilling' your job is, the more likely it is to pay peanuts.

This feels like the author simply went for the entirely wrong jobs. It sounds like what he wants is to make decisions, and those you can only make in small teams, small companies, and in lead positions. Going for any sort of FAANG or corporate job is the opposite of this - and that is not specific to programming jobs in any way. Nobody is 'free to just improve the world' in a large group.

Sorry, my mistake, you were referring to the blog post and I was thinking of the product page...

I kinda felt the big red 'Download package' button gave it away?

Also: `brew install --cask red-canary-mac-monitor`

In the case of Jira, how much of that is related to frontend code, compared to backend code / inefficient queries?

I find performance suffers mostly when media assets, advertisments, marketing and tracking scripts etc. come into play. The frontend rendering rarely makes a dent at that point.

Netflix did that for a long time with the very right item in the suggestion list where I could never see the details because it would instead scroll to the next page, making the item I was interested in disappear to the left :) Seems like they fixed that though

I might just be getting old and cranky, but I get the feeling we're re-inventing common sense, but replace sense with technology. Can I get an app that tells me to stop letting the water run while I brush my teeth as well?

45 and that's basically me. In particular this:

No. And I sold all the VR devices I had over time rather quickly again. Once the novelty wears off, they just became supremely impractical. For gaming it required the shuffling of furniture. For anything else, neither the resolution nor comfort are there. Even worse if you wear glasses. And in the summer time... think diving goggles, only inverted.

That right there. Failing impossible tasks is not a personal failure and nobody should waste their personal life on these tasks out of some sense of 'pride' or 'loyalty'. The failure lies purely with the person who made those plans. They are the ones who failed _you_, not the other way around.

More I'd hope. There's a good reason for it too, faeces and trash will attract rats and the combination is a good source for all kinds of health issues, especially if you mix it with a large homeless population. Check out the number of Typhus cases in the last years.

Hmm. Seems like there's barely any facial animation. With the pixel graphic you kind of forgave it because your mind fills in the gaps, but with the flash style they are going with here, it feels really dead. At least in this trailer.

krautsourced — Mon, 13 Jun 2022 09:40:51 +0000

Looks like the package servers are having troubles. Apparently a workaround is to use the `cache: npm` parameter for the setup-node action. Won't help when you rely on other actions or docker builds etc.

Aren't the latter two definitions for the ORM side of things? Just guessing, I haven't looked into it too much.

I don't mind the touchbar - I mind that it _replaced_ the F-keys! I want proper function keys! If I get some sort of status display _in addition_ to the keys, I'm fine with that.

Deno is No|de swapped. So no, not backwards. But... how would one call it?
