It can be. I often find it “bursty.” I’ve had months at a time when I had stand-ups and then “do whatever you want” for the rest of the day. I generally did do useful work, but there were plently of days when I was just chilling out.

Ive also had months where I ran from fire to fire while on fire, spreading even more fire. Also, there was fire.

It juat depends. If some org treats you as disposable, pays like shit and lights your hair on fire as you walk in, y’all should walk back out. The next org will probally treat you better, because there are good orgs out there. Even the good places get busy for a bit though. Just make sure that busy comes with money and that it ends at some point.

Ehh. Depending on the industry and issue, thats wholley justified, not only from a “least privilege” sense, but from a regulatory one.

Step over into cybersecurity and you end up spending all day clamping down on usability because the company has legal requirements to meet to continue to exist. Many of the things we are compelled to do are overeager and overly pedantic, but it’s either “do it, pay up, or shut down.” The execs tend to prefer “do it” in my experience, which makes everyone’s day a bit more tiresome.

So its entirely possible that was out of their hands.

They announced it at summer game fest a couple of days ago, then announced it would be released in 24 hrs.

Bit of a double whammy, but a well received one.

A sow is a female pig, which doesnt produce silk at all. Attempting to get silk from it would be difficult, if not impossible and futile. It wouldn’t matter how hard you try, you would get nothing.

You can get as much silk from a sows ear as you can get blood from a stone. I dont see much differnce, but i guess the sows ear phrase requires more culture context if it means “you can’t get something nice from rubbish.”

How is it not? The euphemisms all mean you “cant get X from Y.”

Both of my examples mean exactly that.

“You can’t get blood from a stone” is classic in the US. “No more juice from the squeeze” is another variant.

300 billion across the EU.

“Please god come throw your body in the pile we use to fill up the holes. We are very nearly out of unwitting flesh here.”

It’s from the show Preacher, based on the graphic novel of the same name.

Its actually way, way more fucked up than you think.

Solar prices are very regional. Different local rebates, labor costs, permitting requirements, etc.

Rust is wildly fast. Learning that it is being used for a program is good to know if you care about speed. If you read the article, it even addresses your exact critiques:

Moreover, Rust has demonstrated superior performance compared to JavaScript add-ons, resulting in a quicker and more responsive Thunderbird. Furthermore, the integration of Rust into Thunderbird will be facilitated by the fact that it is already utilized in Firefox, enabling Thunderbird to leverage existing infrastructure for testing and continuous integration.

So not only with thunderbird be faster because Rust is faster than JavaScript, but it eliminates 3rd party addons by being native which also further increases speed. Lastly, development time for new features and improvements is faster because they can now use using the mature tooling that Mozilla has for Rust.

So yeah, good to know its using Rust now.

Hopefully using tmux resurrect so that they just have persistent sessions at hand.

I can see it as a way to know that “17” is htop to high importance server X, 23 is pinging Server Y, etc.

Most discrete raid cards will do the job, but look for on card caching and a battery for “quality.”

Hardware raid can 100% do any of the above tasks, and has always been able to do them. You need an actual raid card, not some half assed baked in mobo raid.

Hardware RAID was doing all of the above before software RAID was available to end users.

The armored trucks were also clearly labeled with the charities logos.

This means the trucks were bombed intentionally, they were bombed when clearly identified as aid workers, or they were bombed indiscriminately.

None of the above is good for the IDF.

Most likely they will claim the “fog of war” was the issue and there will be non specific “changes” that they will make after a long delay, all while blaming aid organizations for not providing volunteers to stop the genocidal starvation they are causing.

I prefer some POP in my ubuntu, but green is flavorful.

All over the article you posted:

and since Floorp currently has no advertising, my own salary is, of course, zero. It’s just not going to last.

I have made many plans, including earning development money on this projects, but all have been derailed by open source projects.

There is some code in the closed source code to prepare for this. If these are forked, my hundreds of hours will have been wasted.

The purpose is to learn how to publish code that cannot be used for forking as open source.

I have to obligate the folks to choose whether they want to pay me or help me code.

So hes forked the open source Firefox, added some polish, and is now miffed that others have taken his forked project and forked it themselves, because it cuts off a possible income stream he had planned. That code, the things he intended to profit from, is whats hidden in the “closed source” part of the repo. He says he will open source it eventually, likely after he figures out a way to profit from all of the code Mozilla kindly let him fork for free.

He doesnt want anyone else to profit from the hundreds of hours of code hes added to the millions of hours of free code hes currently trying to profit from. This is of course a very reasonable and consistent moral stance in line with common open source principles.

I was Haskalling for that one. I need to Go and shake off the Rust, maybe work on my Lisp to make sure people React well.

Node what I’m saying?

Maybe part of a gaming curriculum?

Like, “learn some code so that when the devs are crying you can make small talk?”
