@Demolishun taught my niece that penguins are called linuxes... Didn't stick

I think I have that problem finally solved. Nixos. After learning a language for the configuration, using flakes to version the software, configure my dot files with home manager, and git versioning everything; that was a huge initial investment. But now I can just download my git repository on any machine, run it, and my setup builds.
That initial investment makes any other distribution just costly in terms of switching. I'd lose the rest of having everything that works on my desktop auto-work on my laptop.
Maybe it's sunken cost fallacy... But... Thinking of switching now feels not worth it. -
Whatever you want I guess. It's a learning curve thing. I feel like everything but i3 is sluggish to control... But if you like it, that's great

Max(wage/performance) s.t. do not eliminate completely any domain level knowledge from the company.
Congrats, you're winning this optimization function. Good for your company. Doubtful if that's also good for you. -
And not to overlook, chatGPT was wrong on the last character. It's lowercase.

Js/Ts?
Benefit: no .bind(this) required. Behave as expected.
But honestly, readability is a function of how much you're used to something. Nothing else.
Readability arguments are bullshit by design, because the readability gauge is always biased. -
I love the self-flagging stupid people do:
"as a dev I can tell (...)"
Worst kind of argument of authority. You can still be right. But even trying to pull off an argument like that is a definite red flag. I might even consider firing you for that. -
I know this is just stupid bot shit, but hey, I can identify with "vary good hacker ."
This is a hacker that sometimes is good and sometimes, well... it varies. I will now always describe myself as a "vary good programmer." -
@Demolishun I'll check it out thanks

UDP with zero flow control?

@Lensflare Good to know. Thanks

Well...

Here is a German blogger (well, google translate to a Germany blogger), about Cloudflare.

Honestly, no. Not touching that with a 10 meter pole. If it is free, I am the payment. I will find a tiny provider somewhere in sleepy nest in Idaho or so and will sign up there. As small as possible. -

Yep... Most likely.

A good system can defend itself. It incentivizes good behavior.
Capitalism is one of those systems. At least in its pure theoretical form. Because in that form, the baker doesn't have to be a good person to stand up at 4am to make bread. He does it for the money. And that's good for society. And limited resources will auto-balance themselves by supply and demand... Theoretically.
A system without an immune system is useless. We can lament all the time that if just everyone was just like us, then the world would be a better place. But people aren't like us and instead we need to fine-tune the system until the best action for a person to take is beneficial for society.
And we have cut out the need to judge someone's character. We simplified the question to, is that person mad or will he do what's best for himself. That's a hard enough question to answer, we don't have to use a scale, his heart and a feather. -
I think a lot about how to do that better... Have some ideas, probably all going to fail. But as soon as I grew my little freelance business into being a limited and hiring a few people I am willing to try...
But the problem is always, give them a target and their performance will be optimized against that target.
If the target is to do 3 story points per day and you can go home on a full day's pay: Either leave after 3 tickets or 8 hours. I just incentivized everyone to gauge tickets as more complicated than they are.
Because if you judge them too tight, then everyone groans at your estimates. No one's even malicious.
So... I need a second team to judge tickets neutrally, that does not benefit from this... Now I moved the problem a team over. The first team is fine. But the second needs a similar incentive structure and I start all over again. Not to forget, that I just removed a huge amount of flexibility. -
The name is the.... prime lazy now.

abs(-2147483648) = -2147483648
That one is always the abs of the day. -
This is so 2020. NixOs is the new Arch.
I use NixOs by the way. -
@Lensflare thought about it for a while. Cannot find a flaw in your argument. Guess you're right

@netikras
Haha... You know what... That is incredibly stupid, but I am okay with that. I don't hate it anymore. At least mails will follow mail rules, I hope ^^ -
And how does it work? Are they using mail protocol? Meaning anyone but Outlook users will get a mail with some strange formatting telling them a thumbs up has been given?
Or is it only between Outlook and Outlook? That means they have a side channel and transfer information from account to account without relying on the mail protocol? On the one hand, why not... On the other... I don't want to trouble shoot that. I want a mail provider do emails and not decide dynamically when to use an email and when to connect via alternative connection instead... In the end, I forbid sending emails off site, but someone just adds and removes thumbs up on an email he received and creates a side channel no one is monitoring to transfer information outside...
Maybe I am just a cranky old man, but I do not like this. -
@Lensflare Implying that time is continuous... Isn't that still an open question physicists haven't answered yet?

Hmm... How about Docker with WSL1? Kind of dated, but maybe that virtual machine is more stable.. Otherwise... Maybe they can get you a server?
Just IT giving you a server and you remoting into it? The server could be Linux and you could have run all your containers on it and have your IDE's run locally.
Otherwise, what magicMirror said. If IT stops you to do what you need, make it an IT problem...
Oh, blast from the past, but a long time ago I installed docker only inside of WSL. So, no docker desktop, just install the docker Ubuntu version inside an Ubuntu wsl. That one turned out to be quite stable. You can try that. It is less complicated, since it doesn't have to connect to different wsl instances. -
Nope... India's developer and US developers are working at schedules decided by the US CEOs.
To confirm this hypothesis, try the following:
1. Create your own company based in India.
2. Hire Indian devs as well as US remote developers.
3. See if it will be the Indian developers or the US developers who are up at night for a meeting. -
Come on mate, there are many reasons to keep living. Don't do it. I am sure you matter to someone.

This isn't helpful, but I don't have ADHD and this sounds totally like something that would happen to me. Constantly lose my stuff everywhere
I wonder how some people are so certain to blame something on a disease. -
@kanyewest
So, tell 'em to fuck off.
I understand, there is an evolutionary imperative to take care of your family, but that's the great thing about intelligence. You can overcome some of our predefined programming.
So, let them go the way of the dodo and you start building a new group that is not beyond saving.
