819 karma · joined April 21, 2015

Java/Android dev.

I would prefer to play with my pets than work and I also like messing around with clojure and python. I like long walks on the beach, pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

> The four line patch isn't a ton of work once you've done the RCA and besides it required work by the maintainer to get it to pass

the debugging *is* the work! the work for which he went uncredited, that's the crux of the whole thing. he got a Reported-By which just means he ran into a bug and told someone about it, not that he root caused it, wrote a patch and bothered to submit it.

> I really don't understand the toxicity here.. People saying that 'you shouldn't do things just for recognition/gold starts/reward/cv/etc are insane to me?

people are acting like we are code robots who never want recognition for a job well done. even if the patch itself was inferior, the debugging effort certainly was not

cp9··on A near 100% renewables grid is well within reach, and with little storage
fyi the inflation reduction act will cut a good chunk of that for you (assuming you're in the US)

> The Alternative Fuel Refueling Property Credit expired at the end of 2021, but the Inflation Reduction Act gave it life again by extending its application through 2032. For homeowners, the credit is worth 30% of the costs of "qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling property" installed in the home, up to $1,000.

in the same vein as craigslist will this site likely be used for sex work? probably

does that matter? not to me. sex work is work and sex workers usually make it clear as to what their listing is about (otherwise they won't get work).

we have a corporate 1pass account and I have a personal lastpass account. we use okta for SSO but 1pass is still absolutely essential IMO. I need to keep track of lots of secrets that aren't in okta (eg gitlab tokens and stuff like that).
