I agree. I use syncthing for syncing phones and laptops. For data like photos, which aren't really updated. It works very nice. And for documents updated by one user, moving between devices is totally seamless. That being said i unders

I've switched from photoprism to immich. Immich is a much more active project, bugs are fixed, face recognition is an order of magnitude better, just an overall more solid experience. If you are choosing, I wouldn't doubt for a se

I appreciate you say this with humour. But if you voluntary or due to circumstances out of your control cannot distract you brain... At least nine starts thinking. The energy cost is high, but I always end up with a very profound experience

This and also being able to satisfy an itch at any moment. Be it youtube or facebook, whatever your favourite drug is. It's infinitely available and is much easier than any other form of activity. But in an of itself doesn't creat

I'm in my mid-30s. And your advice is really what I've come to realize. When I took my last promotion into engineering management, I had ambitions to become the next CTO in this company. But having been in the job for a couple of

Our anecdata: we store telemetry per thing. After loading a month worth of data - timescaldb as hosted by their cloud ran a difference aggregation in seconds. Clickhouse routinely did it in 20 millis. Simple avg, etc were better, but always

Then it's no longer just your data. Someone else now also has a copy. How do you know they don't leak it or provide it to someone? There's value in hhavingyour data only local with some off-site arrangement.

Syncthing is great! Are you using zerotier for transport security. Or does it improve speed as well? Off-site syncs are far too slow for me. Luckily, it's very rare that I have to do them.

Disclaimer: used to work at GS. Left to work remotely in another region. GS is a big company. There's lots of people there. Some 8k people are in the tech division. And the employer competition there is not just with other financial fi

Same here. Love it! Switched the missus as well. Since it easier to have a homogenous set of machines. She's as non-technical as they come. But browsers work the same. So she hardly noticed. Most modern casual usage is on the web anywa

That's it. I believe, like in any market the top earners, who are hard to get and hurt when they go will continue to get high pay. Since even if you include the world (and most jobs don't, they include some timezones, jurisdiction

When one updates internal dependency versions one usually has to find them. At least that was the story with my gigs. So there's a listing somewhere. So you wouldn't get a random version even considered. Version shadowing and over

Why would you want your CI to depend on an external source. Say a legit upgrade happened, but it has a breaking change. Now your build is broken. Fixed versions for as many things as you can (including OS images, apt packages, Docker images

What I got out of the article: - define what productive means for you. The narrow definition of "doing work" won't work for the missus, kids. And your general well being for most of us. The author doesn't dive into that.

Totally right. Remember that capital doesn't have a nation. Companies registered in the US have to comply with US laws. But a legal entity in Pakistan have to obide by those rules. And if it's profitable - they will. Replace Pakis

I can send that. I've been fully remote for 4 years. Because the small village where we wanted to live has 0 tech jobs within reasonable commute distance. I've gone from IC to team lead, to group lead. I think this is my limit at

What about polarisation of politics and deglobalisation? Are those real and what's their impact?

InertBrake - well done on your internship :) As someone who's been through internships and many years of in office work this is worrying me too. Our junior colleagues coming in without the little things they would get from sitting in a

I also find that 100 things to do as a manager is a misconception. Doing 100 things well in a day is impossible. Picking the 3 to do super-well and doing those. Yields the best results. Especially because those 3 are unlikely to come back.

I agree with you, but this is predicated on there being a healthy demand-supply ratio. My personal expectation is that there is a lot of developers out there and at least at non-junior levels the differentiating factor is skill, experience
