I'm looking around for a career change. It sucks more if you have a family to provide for since SWE is low effort for high monetary gain compared to other things.

I've switched jobs a few times in the past years as a SWE/architect and even did consulting for many years. I can't seem to recapture the enjoyment I had at the beginning (back in the 2000s), it's kinda all the same now. I'm also tired of stand-ups, Groundhog Day "retros" and generally appearing to be interested. I think the whole cloud thing has taken the fun out of coding for me in the last twelve or so years.

Also, if JIRA was a face, I'd fucking punch it.

Thought of teaching maths or computing. I love that shit, but society doesn't value that as it pays so little.

Seriously thinking about becoming a paramedic, maybe a coroner/ME... time is running out though. Getting old.

Edit: Also maybe a govt. IT job. It's less, but maybe the benefits are enough to balance out. Would be cool to fix up some crumby govt. software.

lol We have this function implemented at least a dozen times through our mono repo. All named slightly different.

This exactly. I’m doing go now for a few years after coming from Java, Lisp, Ruby etc. I’ve often wondered while coding in it, if it was the result of a time traveller explaining garbage collection and lambdas to a 70’s C programmer living under a rock.

Man I miss walking into a BBV and there was this dude at the counter who was absolute expert in horror movies… got me started in Dario Argento, French extreme… Can’t get that out of “max”/Netflix/prime etc

Ah shit I just interviewed there

This works for motorcycle racing

What are you all doing that requires such fine grain selection of a terminal?

I spend a lot of time in a terminal and just use whatever’s there. Terminal.app or gnome-terminal. Before that it was xterm. Perhaps the only customization is modifier key on Mac as meta.

Ok I think he’s referring to 0xB800, the VGA text buffer segment in real mode.

We tried this. It’s no good for details like names, places, amounts, the interesting things etc. It will however fill in the gaps with made up stuff, which was rather infuriating.

Kids.. next they’ll be making the straws out of plastic or something.

I think it’s absolutely bonkers that CrowdStrike software is basically an RCE

Is the WebDriver standard a good one? (Relative to playwright I guess) I seem to recall some pains implementing it a few years ago.

What’s the washing for?

I’m using one of the phone booths at work as my office

I would bet more. My home owner’s insurance comes with a section on what dogs I can’t own under the terms of the insurance. It’s a couple dozen specific breeds, not just pit bulls.

> over 500, that's a plus

Here I was accepting connections judiciously after lightly researching their connections..

Regular jack off mid western SWE, here. I come to these threads and cry.

I found windows confusing. In Linux speak, was this some kind of kernel module thing that CS installed? It’s all I can think of for why the machines BSOD

That was my first thought. How much does the market pay for an account takeover?

What I’m hoping for is something less “modern” and more desktop oriented than gnome and less complex and fancy than kde with a fast, no bullshit app launcher and doc search, mostly keyboard accessible.

Not a C++ user, but is this the same as #. reader macro in Common Lisp?

I think the command “reset” does something similar

The fun factor will be relatively high

The usefulness of job control to me is why I can’t stand to use PowerShell and a few other “modern” fancy shells for command line work.

I’m gonna round trip motorcycle that later starting with Colombia

Back in the day I had hundreds of pipes, sub-pipes for all kinds of stuff from porn to price gathering, comparisons, to banking. When Yahoo Pipes died so did my will to port all that to something else.

If I had to do it all again in 2024, what’s a robust self hosted project like this?

Also check out IUP. It’s lovely to work with and uses native controls. https://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/

Only the guy not leading says stuff like this. You can be sure he’d be up there convincing Congress that moats need to be built for his competitors and building opaque systems if fortune favored differently.

I just use it for playing games on steam, but lately it’s annoying even for that. I tried steam on Linux with proton and whatnot. It works okish, but there were too many issues with screen flickering. The Xorg/Wayland/nvidia info out there made it too confusing to deal with work arounds. A younger me would have persisted though.

So it looks like I’m in it for another Windows-issued flogging at least.

Yeah I think they have some special sauce that puts them a bit ahead of what LSP-based. Definitely check it out
