This is how I've always used hardware. Y'all out here buying up new parts each year they release?!?

It's like iPhone crowd energy, but for PC parts I suppose.

Good news, they have these, and you even get paid to do it!

Not nearly enough mind you.

Multi-cloud is a significant amount of effort to pull off.

Being on one cloud provider across multiple regions is often plenty of redundancy.

Being available across multiple cloud providers is really REALLY difficult

Except in countries with actual consumer protection laws that prevent them from doing this sort of BS.

This is a feature purpose built for late stage capitalism.

Honestly surprised C# isn't on here? It's still one of the "big 5" languages, and .Net touts it's incredible performance on the regular.

The number of new devs who complain about having to write a unit test is too damn high

  • Or writing integration tests
  • Or passing CI
  • Or following repo conventions
  • Or following standards
  • Or adhering to domain guardrails
  • Or in adding monitoring
  • Or in not logging everything as info
  • Or in actually documenting features
  • Or in receiving critical PR review
  • Or in addition input validation
  • Or in not trusting the client

...etc

Honestly most devs.... Kinda suck at their job. This is becoming more evident to me every year

I work remote (Going on 9 years now) and I miss a sense of community. Do I want to stop working remotely? Hell no, screw that. But two things can be true the same time, I can enjoy and encourage them at work, dnd I can also miss a sense of community.

I think it's okay to hold this opinion because it's individual to everyone.

This just comes across as propaganda

Being dismissive and pulling the rhetoric that this is propaganda is toxic as fuck.

Hospital near me has password requirements for their electronic medical records system as:

  • 6 characters, no more, no less
  • 2 characters must be a number
  • 4 characters must be a letter
  • case insensitive
  • never changed

And for new hires and what not, they tell them to use {hospital abbreviation}{2 digit year}. Like casu24

No freaking wonder

Why would it be on each dev to setup?

Your repo can, and should, include workspace settings for major editors that provide a uniform experience for anyone onboarded to the platform.

I agree that precommit hooks are good for uniformity. But slow pre commit hooks are frustrating, they are also often turned off. Your CI will always be the last gatekeeper for linting/formatting rules regardless.

Making precommit hooks slower means more devs disable them, which is the opposite of what you want. Save them for simple, read, checks and validations that can run in < 1s for even huge changesets.

Is that even legal?

I mean if you own a real estate, it doesn't cost more just because the plot of land becomes popular. You can sell it for more, sure.

I don't get how your registrar can suddenly boot you out from under a domain just because someone else is interested in it that has money.

Shouldn't that person or company have to offer you money to buy that domain?

Or on save even. Slow pre commit hooks suckkkk

 

I'm looking for some sort of chores calendar where we can set up scheduled chores each day and assign an owner to them.

If those chores are not done then they start to stack onto the next day.

My spouse and I need to hold each other accountable for the chores and tasks in which we are assigned. And I think a great way to represent that is showing how uncompleted chores stack up, they don't go away, the time it takes to complete them still exists as a form of debt to our free time.

Are there any open source projects that do this sort of thing or help with keeping up with the home, tasks, & household chores?

 

GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/garnet

Just saw this today and I am pretty stoked. It's just a drop in replacement and performs > 10x faster under workloads with many client connections. Not that I found redis slow, but in Enterprise workloads that's a lot of money saved. $50k Garnet clusters handling similar workloads for $5k would be significant.

It being essentially entirely written in C# makes it pretty easy to read, understand, contribe to, and extend. Custom functions in C# have a pretty low barrier to entry.

I get that there's probably going to be a lot of hate just because this is released by Microsoft developers.... But in my opinion the C# ecosystem is one of the best to build on.

 

Found this in my feed, it's pretty neat, and at a surface level should make some of the pain points in my location based game much less difficult.
