FWIW, I myself have to stop myself from caring as much, otherwise I get depressed and paralyzed by decision fatigue and deadlines. When someone sets an unrealistic deadline, that must their cross to bear. I like many parts of my job, the pe

The thing is, I just don't get it. Management treat the decisions like they don't have consequences, always getting stuck on local minima. If the plans had a vision with logical steps A --> B --> C where they would build and

> At least big tech is quite rich to afford to think about users. Sadly, this is reality. It is very hard to prioritize in most places living on thin margins.

This is sort of how iOS works(worked?). To share a photo, you had to go find the photo you want to share, then pass that photo explicitly to the app/context you wanted to share it. So a model where you push the content you want into th

Yeah, well when running remotely it must come back by itself every single time, and I was unable to get reliable results over 6 months of testing. It might 3 months until I can travel and replace a nonbooting instance, and I will not even k

Yes, I gave up on my rasp pi because of the instability of sd cards. It could barely run a few weeks without manual intervention. Honestly I have no clue how anyone does anything useful with them. Tried using usb attached ssd for a while, b

I think Proton Mail is ok, but I wish they would focus more on email. I will probably just go back to gmail before the next billing. 3 years and I still dont feel the email part is good enough.

I dont disagree with this, but I also see in our case that good tooling is immensely valuable in keeping things consistent and moving forward (in the same direction) without having to discuss every change.

Yeah, there is some overuse of SPAs I agree, but havent anyone in this thread worked in older java monoliths with JSP or even good old Struts framework?? THEN you can see what inefficient development looks like.

I have to say the story on server side decorations is nasty and disappointing from the GNOME devs.

I also fear this. I dont care about most WMs being left behind, kde and gnome is already spread too thin. And I say that as a xfce user of ten years. Got a new laptop with amdgpu and am enjoying the new life with wayland and gnome. It just

I am 33 and have never even seen a cheque, nor would I have any idea what to do with it. I am in EU though.

And to a non-American the code of conduct trying to bar employees from political initiatives seems... oddly controlling. Did we forget to disagree and discuss? The CEO here should address the dissonance between his actions and the stated va

Nice These three points has made me raving mad from working with mysql: - The default 'latin1' character set is in fact cp1252, not ISO-8859-1, meaning it contains the extra characters in the Windows codepage. 'latin2',

Well, shit. I just started rock climbing. Like half the other tech workers in my city.

Parts of Europe have had massive public opposition to building new nuclear the past 25 years.

Why did you stop using Airmail?

I would have to say this. CLIs are much simpler to make and much cheaper to support. Making one-off tools to automate tasks, or even building a set of internal tools for handling certain operations is much more feasible when you can churn

My, albeit limited experience, does tell me it is hard to sell B2B without dedicated sales people of some sort.

Yeah, linux now actually works with wifi, sleep mode, decent fonts, native docker, a good package manager and a variety of games, all at the same time!

For my own personal reason: I lost interest due to countless problems, the hours of endless tinkering and simply that macOS is not that far ahead anymore. It has some nice things, but ubuntu is very stable now a days. Sleep works, wifi work
