Was in their ecosystem for about four years before going to Google Pixels - I find your experience to be very true. It was truly night and day.

This is exactly why I think the distinction between computer science and computer engineering is incredibly important.

Often. I do know YouTube-based learning has it's flaws, but I find it much more enjoyable to engage with vs. the 9-5 teachers/professors I had growing up. The YouTube essayists are often way more passionate and informed on their t

Yeah anecdotally same experience. Social groups just dry up when you get to your late 20's as people are marrying off, having kids, and only maintaining the utmost of friendships. I know it's brutal but it's a time thing... s

I've been programming PHP since around 2003 and although I don't find Laravel to be perfect, I find it to be a very solid framework to build general web solutions with. I have successfully launched everything from complex OAUTH

When you admit to needing to learn something in the same breath as throwing shade it completely undermines the shade you were trying to throw.

And it's the exact reason I'm really reluctant to fully buy into Typescript... I always feel like I'm wrong about the "not an official spec" part of things but you are 100% correct in my understanding. Also on &quot

Agree - but there's still bits and pieces that don't translate over to other distros which can suck if you're jumping into to learning something. When I read the Arch Wiki as a Debian user I realize I'm reading it throug

Agree - and it 100% comes from broken teams/environments/people. In engineering, I find most teams are more invested in tearing each other down more-so than building each other up - that's admittedly very anecdotal and person

And, as a Debian user who often finds himself on the Arch docs - there's a ton of distro-specific stuff in the Arch wiki. And rightfully so - it's a wiki for a distro. These sorta landmines when trying to just research/digest

This isn't a knock but it's exactly what I was talking about and why I find OP's learning tool to be so valuable. Lots of folks learn by example and hands-on labs. Personally, I'd much rather learn the basic ropes by jum

This is outstanding... I really wish I would have had this learning systemd as it would have saved me _hours_. Let's be real - a lot of Linux fundamental stuff is still pretty terse. Learning tools like this really smooth it out and op

I'll be honest - half the time it's trying to keep it from other engineers who are overly eager to have an opinion because a) they're low-output and looking to posture, and/or b) or want things to be done a different way

Exactly how I feel - any softer language would be forgotten and swept aside. I've heard the "police reform" drum being banged on my entire life with little to no effect - I don't blame them for trying a new slogan that c

Have to disagree here. Anything remotely complex with JS usually doesn't work as-expected after archived on Internet Archive. Keep in mind we're not talking about a LAMP-driven WordPress blog with some jQuery sprinkled in - we&#x2

Hopping aboard to add that Bitwarden does in fact have all of those features. It's disingenuous of parent comment to imply/claim otherwise. Sure the UI/UX is a bit basic... but honestly most of us should prefer that.

Absolutely - and thanks for providing the communicative space to clarify myself. I didn't feel it was going to be productive trying to clarify to /u/danenania when bad-faith was being harshly implied. I agree I was not clear

First, thank you. I feel like this is an opportunity to clarify in a thread of rationality vs. getting accused of bad faith... I never made the claim that they shouldn't treat unvaccinated patients: > And, I think it's an ethic

You can't expect those who are unvaccinated taking up beds (potentially or not) to think about ethics. For a good part of our country it's a race to the bottom of "I got mine, f u" and those folks seem largely represente

I use the hell out of chalk and I just want to say thank you for creating/maintaining a solid product. Seeing this is scary to us who still unfortunately have dependencies with Node/npm. Thank you so much for what you do.

Agree - it's just Microsoft buy-in at this point. Every product from Office 365 to Teams to just Windows itself is suffering. To think people build their businesses on this is mind boggling.

Why? Stories are not something I need from a chat app. I wish these apps would stop the ideal of "constant feature growth" and focus on core competencies. Signal is a SMS/chat app for a privacy focused audience... I do not se
