> You need to use all your credits before you cancel though, IIRC.

I know this is correct because I found out the hard way. Couldn't keep up with listening so cancelled the sub. Came back when I had time but the credits were gone (think about 7). Was pretty mad but found out they do mention this somewhere. Threw 5 euros at Libation, downloaded my library and never looked back.

Scrum masters don't really need to be super technical right? They just need to make sure the rituals work and eventually make themselves redundant. I'm an IC and thinking of following some courses so I can fill that role in my team but only because it may give some credence to the rituals, not because my technical insights make it better. I think the rituals can add value but only if they're taken seriously - otherwise they're a waste of time.

Wait you guys actually contemplate your "status"? This seems overly dramatic and does not match my experience at all. Software development is a very young profession and will continue to change.

I genuinely don't understand that you can, with a straight face, say that juniors with copilot can do the same work as seniors. Typing up the code is like what, 25% of time spent - during a good week!

Yes there are and it's infuriating. Colleague of mine had problems with integrating some code into an app that was built on a newer version of a framework because "there aren't a lot of examples yet". One web search and I found the frameworks own migration guide detailing the exact differences that would need to be accounted for.

And the osrs wiki is pretty special too imo since there is custom code (like calculators and integrations with RL Plugins). Best wiki I've seen.

Not a dig at OP but putting "senior developer" on your resume after only 2 years of experience really sets expectations.

Always thought we'd go the way of our phones being thin clients - doesn't even need to be powerful right? I previously did development work on a VDI which ran on some cloud. Expected it to be laggy but it worked perfectly.

Some people aren't allowed (rental) or cannot afford built-in AC units. I've got a mobile one in my attic where I WFH because otherwise it gets to 30c+ and that's just unbearable.

> This is true; and I find it hard to understand.

Russia actually invading Ukraine full-on was the most irrational and self-destructive thing Putin could've done. By all measures it was and still is a terrible idea. Only if you thought Putin was a madman you could've predicted it but before the invasion that wasn't his reputation at all IMO. I think he was seen as relatively pragmatic and rational (for a thug).

I wouldn't equate it with a person pirating a DVD to watch in his own home. It's more like someone pirating a DVD, burning a bunch of copies of it and selling those. Big difference.

Yeah microsoft really have a knack for naming things

> It definitely makes me sad to see the internet go back to the days of the walled garden.

It doesn't have to. I don't see it as an end but as a fork in the road.

If you cannot abide by the very simple rules of HN, please don't bother making an account and commenting.

If you think writing code is the most important, or even the largest part of being a (senior) software engineer - sure. In my experience it's not though. It's being able to communicate clearly, understanding and translating requirements (sometimes to code), knowing boundaries and saying no, deep understanding of systems and knowing how to debug them.

Transitioning from junior to medior (for example) is much more than writing x% better code. It's the process of falling and getting back up. Being stumped and learning when to ask for help (and not just technical, what if the spec is 'wrong'?).

I definitely worry that we are leaving future generations in the dust and that there'll be an experience gap. It's a disservice to take away something from them that we enjoyed ourselves.

No sane company should run on juniors, they're an investment.

For photos I recommend Immich (https://immich.app/) - recently switched from nextcloud to immich and it's ridiculous that this is free and opensource software - it feels so premium.

You seem like a super intelligent guy in regards to your profession, though (and perhaps it is my own bias) also super contrarian. I'd genuinely always pick the person who is easy to work with than someone who might cause conflict - even if the latter was way smarter. Collaboration is key in teams.

Nah it would be bad if the user-agent contained a string describing the users ethnicity and you'd block them based on that though.

In semver, that's a major version upgrade since it changes the API without being backwards compatible. API consumers have responsibilities too.

I'm really happy they moved to masto, their content just became much more accessible

As a Java dev it's kinda fun to compare the experience.

## Installing a JDK on windows

-Search google/whatever

-Click on first link

-Find .exe

-Agree to terms and conditions

-Click download

-Have to login with oracle account

-(I stopped here)

## Installing JDK on ubuntu

-Open terminal

-sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk

- y, enter

-done

Does it work for websites that fetch content async? I've had success with https://morss.it instead (which can also be selfhosted)

1. I use nextcloud to backup photos to my NAS 2. A nightly job backups my photos to Amazon Glacier (very cheap to store, very expensive to retrieve) - This is only in the case of a catastrophic failure (e.g. house burns down). 3. Every month or so I copy the photos to an external drive (manually)

I am thinking of buying a NAS that I can setup in my parents house so I can transfer them over there automatically instead of the manual copy action to the external drive

> I wish Google Photos UI was better but it still seems to be the best solution

Unless you have kids. [If you have kids Google is a no-go](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveil...). Since becoming a dad I've finally started to untangle myself from Google. Only thing left is my android phone - seriously considering an alternative e.g. apple (but I wouldn't store pictures with them either)

There's a plugin for that (trademark icon) https://help.obsidian.md/Plugins/Audio+recorder

Posting Twitter links anywhere should've been a no-no long time ago with the login popups. Before nitter I just skipped them entirely.

I'm just a big fan of ActivityPub. It seems like the next logical step. Perhaps there'll be bigger ActivityPub providers in the future but in theory, just like SMTP, I can talk from my thingy to your thingy. It's up to us to abstract the protocol away and make it easier for users.

MVC is a frontend paradigm

When you're talking about a table of Users you are talking about an entity of User. This can contain extra stuff that's not relevant to the frontend - like the password or lastUpdatedDate, you name it.

In your example, when you talk about a Model, you talk about a user Entity representation. There's a transformation there. The frontend posts a Model (or a DTO) to the backend API, the backend does the transformations it needs (e.g. retrieving the user Entity based on the model user id, mapping updated field values from the model to the Entity, and saving the Entity to the database).

The view is the representation template, the model is what's needed to fill in the template, and the controller does CRUD operations to a backend API.

Edit: or is this MVVM? These days I mainly do backend stuff but I used to call this MVC

Some may prefer Overseerr to Ombi.

We as a team sometimes decided to PR into a PR branch, not as meticulous as a PR to develop but there'd still be eyes on the code entering the branch. Especially useful when there are dependencies and/or different disciplines contributing to the feature.
