Hey now! This design met all the PM’s requirements 😤

For pair programming it works well with Vigor 👍

I’ll take laptops over a Punch Card System (PCS) any day!

To be fair, you are always on the cusp of being fired/laid off. Even if you’re the backbone of the company, the best employee, etc.

Also remember that expectations of young people in a lot of businesses are very low. That’s why they pay the young so poorly 🤷.

If you seem to be getting work done and your boss isn’t bitching then you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. Don’t worry about it.

Also, when you’re young change jobs every year or two! It’s the best way to make considerably more money over time and no, it will not hurt your resume in the slightest. It merely shows initiative and the fact that everyone wants you (i.e. you’re competent).

You’re thinking that every Android device is reasonably new. This is not the case.

There’s devices running Android from >12 years ago that can’t get apps any other way than F-Droid because Google Play Services no longer work.

Dental Hygienist. They make like $40/hour to clean people’s teeth. It only requires an associates degree and you can get it from community college (aka cheap).

That’s my AHEK-95 (typing on it every day) which was reviewed by a semi-famous keyboard YouTuber 😁

I’d also show off my Low Poly Rose Twist Vase design:

Imgur work OK-ish for short gifs (<=15s). For longer gifs/looping videos I too would like an answer to this question.

Rough times when you’re forced to go at a sketchy gas station 😖

Docker containers aren’t running in a virtual machine. They’re running what amounts to a fancy chroot jail… It’s just an isolated environment that takes advantage of several kernel security features to make software running inside the environment think everything is normal despite being locked down.

This is a very important distinction because it means that docker containers are very light weight compared to a VM. They use but a fraction of the resources a VM would and can be brought up and down in milliseconds since there’s no hardware to emulate.

Don’t think of it like that. Think of it like, “next quarter’s profits”.

It takes a lot of effort for non-technical people to switch to a new OS. Microsoft can capitalize on that to rake in egregious profits for probably five years or more before businesses finish sincere efforts at supporting Linux.

I remember when the web didn’t have JavaScript.

Honestly, though it was much worse back then. I prefer the variety and features of modern browsing over (mostly) plain text.

What I wish we could do away with on the web is videos. Let’s go back to just images and text, thanks. Animations are fine though 👍

It’s my humorous manipulation of famous quote by George Wallace regarding segregation in the US. Here’s the original:

“In the name of the greatest people that have ever trod this earth, I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.” -George Wallace, infamous racists prick

You can read all about his descent into racist madness here:

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/wallace-quotes/#:~:text=In the name of the,segregation tomorrow%2C segregation forever."

(It is quite interesting how he changed over time… Almost like regularly spending time with racists–who you view as close friends–can lead to absorbing racist views)

Trough denial is a a good way to end up in the trough. It’s a slippery slope!

Lets not make this out to be like it’s Kerberos (more complicated than rocket science)… Making available another, region-specific version of your app isn’t difficult. It’s just the developer equivalent of an extra one-time TPS report (you have to setup/modify some build scripts and make some additional tests).

It’s the equivalent of having builds for .rpm and .deb and then adding a .AppImage build. It shouldn’t be that big a deal for the Mozilla Firefox team.

In fact, I bet they’re freaking excited at the prospect of being able to make a real build of Firefox for iOS.

You can’t have one rule for one group of people and different rules for everyone else.

“In the name of the greatest smartphone that have ever graced this earth, we draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and say separate rules now, separate rules tomorrow, separate rules forever.” -Apple, probably

The AI clone wars have begun.
